What is biofeedback? How does biofeedback work? And can it really help with stress, overwhelm, and neuroplasticity?
This week, I'm thrilled to welcome Dana Hargus, a seasoned counselor and biofeedback specialist, onto the podcast to discuss how biofeedback has positively impacted her family and counseling patients. Dana was first inspired to use biofeedback as a counseling and therapy tool after she learned how it could help her son rewire his brain to better manage attention issues without medication.
In this episode, we explore the realm of neuroplasticity and the transformative potential of biofeedback for managing mental health issues such as stress, attention issues, and lack of impulse control. We also discuss the role of supportive practices like proper nutrition, hydration, breathing exercises, and other lifestyle changes to manage stress, which enhance the effectiveness of biofeedback.
Dana introduces her initiatives, Restore of Ada and Restore+, designed to provide intensive, accessible mental health support that integrates holistic modalities with biofeedback to help people rewire their brains and restore hope back into their lives.
Join us to learn about the principles of neuroplasticity, which offer powerful evidence that change is possible at any age, and discover how a combination of biofeedback and personalized lifestyle adjustments can reset the nervous system and improve overall well-being.
Whether you're dealing with everyday stressors or significant life changes, this episode offers a deeper look into practical tools we can all access to build mental resilience and emotional health.
