Myndlift is an app that helps retrain your brain and improve your daily performance through a series of digital games. Approximately 31% of U.S. adults experience an anxiety disorder at some point in their lives, (1) and many individuals struggle with poor stress management and sleep quality. Incorporating Myndlift into your daily routine is intended to reduce stress, improve sleep quality, and take better control of anxiety. Because Myndlift trains your brain through games, clients achieve improvements while being entertained, making it an appealing way to improve their mental strength. Through consistent use and a specialized headset, we can monitor your brain’s activity with real-time displays of electrical impulses. These tailored protocols promote better emotional regulation, enhanced focus, and reduced cognitive distortions.
At NeuroZone, speech-language pathologist Erin Badour has helped many clients improve their mental sharpness through personalized treatments and innovative software. Under her guidance, Myndlift treatments can help you take back control over your life.

About Myndlift
Myndlift provides access to a series of digital games that use neurofeedback to improve your mental clarity, leading to stress reduction and improved sleep quality. As you progress through the games, it monitors your electrical impulses to adjust pace and difficulty, gradually challenging your brain. (2) This is helpful for several mental health concerns, including anxiety and depression. By following your recommended Myndlift protocol, you can achieve enhanced mental clarity and stress management. Reducing unhelpful or negative thought patterns can also improve your ability to sleep, and better sleep quality will enhance your quality of life.
What is Neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback is a therapeutic biofeedback approach that monitors brainwaves in real-time to improve brain activity and reduce unhelpful thought patterns. It leverages advanced technology to provide feedback about the brain’s electrical activity, allowing clients to learn more about their mental processes by seeing how their brain reacts to various stimuli. Neurofeedback therapy is growing in popularity and is especially helpful for conditions such as anxiety and ADHD. (3) Just like with any other muscle, with proper training, the brain can become stronger and more efficient.

Candidates
Myndlift can benefit nearly everyone, from those who want to improve an already strong mind to those who face daily struggles due to their mental health. Myndlift is not meant to replace other therapies, but it can significantly improve their results, especially for those who struggle with poor sleep and ineffective stress management. We understand that consistency can be difficult when living with poor mental health, but we ask that all prospective users make a strong effort to commit to their Myndlift protocol. Fortunately, after a few days of consistent use, clients find it much easier to incorporate it into their daily routines.
Consultation
Your Myndlift plan begins with a consultation with Erin Badour. During this meeting, she will discuss your symptoms and goals to determine how you can benefit most from Myndlift. She will discuss any concerns you have about managing your conditions on a day-to-day basis and create a protocol for your specific circumstances. If your symptoms are linked to a certain trigger or event, we can discuss how to avoid triggers during your treatment.
Schedule a consultation today by submitting our online contact form. If you have any questions, please call any of our Southern California offices at (310) 821-3640.
Preparation & Treatment Process
Because Myndlift is a low-stakes, approachable way to improve your mental health, it does not require extensive preparation. We only ask that users find a quiet place where they can focus and relax while they complete their games. Patients are sometimes recommended to avoid or reduce their alcohol or caffeine intake, as this can help reduce anxiety levels.
During a Myndlift session, you will place the Muse headset on your scalp, and the sensors in the headset will analyze your brain waves. The app will adjust game pace and difficulty as the headset monitors your brain’s electrical patterns. As you play the games and progress through your Myndlift protocol, you will reinforce certain brain patterns (2)
Myndlift Results
After consistently using Myndlift, you will notice an improvement in your mental health and strength, which will lead to reduced stress and deeper, better quality, restful sleep. Consistency with Myndlift is key, and you may need to use it for multiple sessions to see the best results. Most users notice the most significant improvement after a series of 30-40 sessions over 12 weeks.
In addition to less stress and better sleep, users enjoy enhanced focus and relief from repetitive negative thought patterns. Although Myndlift will help your brain function more effectively, taking good care of yourself is important for optimal results. Among other healthy lifestyle practices, you should exercise regularly, eat healthy meals, and strive to get adequate sleep to keep your brain in good shape.
Additional Therapies
Neurofeedback Training for Anxiety
Neurofeedback for anxiety can improve your body’s and brain’s responses to stress triggers to help you feel more at ease. Monitoring your brain activity can help address anxiety symptoms that affect your heart rate, breathing, circulation, and more.
Alpha-Theta Treatment
Alpha-theta training is a treatment that balances alpha and theta brain wave frequencies to help clients enjoy a calmer state of mind. During the treatment, Erin will walk you through a series of medications and guided visualization exercises. She will also help you create positive affirmations that you can use throughout the day to reduce anxiety.
Audio-Visual Entrainment
Audio-visual entrainment (AVE) technology uses a series of controlled pulsing lights and binaural beats to balance brain waves. One of the most effective AVE therapies is David Delight, which encourages brain wave synchronization to improve mental clarity, optimize relaxation, and enhance mood.
Brain Mapping
Brain mapping is an evaluation that helps Erin understand the structure of your brain and the symptoms you are experiencing. Erin will analyze your brain structure and active zones to gain better insight into the symptoms you face, which helps her create a more effective treatment protocol.
