EBT iPhone App Goes Live

Submitted by Joe on Tue, 02/21/2012 - 7:07pm
When the emotional brain is out of balance, we naturally develop problems with mood, relationships, behavior and health. Emotional Brain Training (www.ebt.org) focuses on the root cause: stress in the emotional brain. Instead of forcing yourself to change your behavior, you use a unique, proven method to ease stress in your emotional brain. Mood, relationships, behavior and health naturally improve. EBT will give you tangible ways to create balance in your emotional brain so that your brain's emotional set point begins to improve.

CBS Features Emotional Brain Training

Submitted by Joe on Mon, 02/06/2012 - 9:04am


Bay Area CBS featured Emotional Brain Training on a segment called "HealthWatch: Better Health May Depend On Re-Wiring Primitive Brain." "SAN FRANCISCO (CBS 5) – Bay Area researchers say the key to finding a diet you can stick to and improving overall health may be in retraining your brain. Emotional Brain Training, or EBT for short, focuses on changing the brain by essentially re-wiring deep emotional circuits. The technique is being used today to treat obesity, eating disorders and chronic stress." Read the Full Article

Happy New Year - Make it YOUR year to get Wired at ONE!

Submitted by Laurel on Mon, 01/02/2012 - 8:07am

 The years are coming and going, but what can you do to make THIS year the best year of your life?
 
Commit to being wired at ONE, with an abundance of life's richest rewards: sanctuary, authenticity, vibrancy, integrity, intimacy, spirituality and most of all, freedom.
 
You join a group, have your own small tribe, and move through the kits, one by one, moving up your brain's set point and creating more joy in your life.
 
Other people notice, but can't put their finger on what has changed about you. You feel so SAFE to be with. You exude authenticity, and vibrancy, too. People trust you because they sense that your integrity is brain based. They feel your love, too and your love nourishes their spirit. The pill bottles in your bathroom . . .well, there are fewer of them, and you have a new sense of joy and freedom in your life.  
 
That brain state of ONE is natural, something we can all experience, and more and more, make it our acquired set point. That's the power of emotional brain plasticity, that we now have the power, step by step, to truly transform our lives.
 
If you say to yourself, "What's the most important accomplishment I could have in 2012?" What compares to being wired for joy?
 
 In JOY, Laurel

Submitted by Laurel on Sun, 08/21/2011 - 10:25pm

 Numbers are being released soon that show the obesity epidemic is still out of control, the prevalence of obesity rising.
A few years ago Rob Lustig and Michele Mietus-Snyder, two UCSF colleagues wrote a stunning article on the cause of obesity, three brain structures in the emotional brain that are highly impacted by stress. A quick read of the article 

Emotional Eating – We all do it

Submitted by Lindsey Fish on Wed, 08/10/2011 - 6:35pm

I am really enjoying learning more about the connection between food and our brain.  I hope that the articles and studies that I am finding are helpful to all of you.  I have discovered that the more I understand about my brain and my body, the more compassionate and patient I am with myself.  Remember…it is not you, it is just a circuit.

Getting Hooked on Salad

Submitted by Lindsey Fish on Fri, 08/05/2011 - 8:01am

My last two postings have been about food addiction and how the brain is wired can cause food addiction.  In addition, we know that from an evolutionary standpoint, the brain is constantly seeking out foods that are high in calories and therefore high in fat and sugar.  As a species, there wasn’t always a supermarket or restaurant just down the road…we used to have to go hunting in the forest to find and catch our dinner.

Food Addiction and Stress Overeating

Submitted by Lindsey Fish on Fri, 07/29/2011 - 5:48pm

I have spent the week thinking about food addiction after my posting last week.  Last week, I wrote about how the brain reacts to food in ways similar to how it reacts to drugs of abuse.  This week, I would like to continue on that same theme. Read more »

Food Addiction – It Really is an Addiction

Submitted by Lindsey Fish on Mon, 07/25/2011 - 6:38pm

I went to visit friends this weekend.  We ate out in a restaurant for dinner on Friday and Saturday nights, Saturday lunch and Sunday brunch.  It was excellent and I very much enjoyed it.  However, I definitely ate way too much.  It got me thinking about food and the obesity epidemic…and of course, our brains.
