Myndlift Case Studies

Myndlift is an app that retrains your brain to improve your daily performance. Through the app and the specialized Muse headset, we can monitor and record real-time displays of your brain’s activity, which helps it learn how to self-regulate and change disruptive behavior to improve your mental clarity. At NeuroZone, speech-language pathologist Erin Badour has helped many clients improve their mental performance and address several conditions with this innovative software. In this article, we will review some case studies involving real patients who found success with Myndlift.

Contact our offices online or call our Culver City, Santa Monica, or Manhattan Beach locations at (310) 821-3640 to schedule an appointment with Erin and learn more about how Myndlift can help you.

How Myndlift Works

Myndlift has users complete a series of games while monitoring brain activity to improve their focus, mental health, and daily performance. Myndlift users wear a specialized headset that monitors brain activity in real time. While completing the games, the information gathered by the headset will allow Myndlift to adjust game pacing and difficulty as needed, continually challenging your mental abilities to improve your cognition.

Neurofeedback

Myndlift relies on a therapeutic method called neurofeedback. Neurofeedback is the process of self-monitoring brain activity in real time, as if your brain were looking in a mirror, allowing it to better understand its own activity and areas needing improvement. ⁽¹⁾ The brain is just like any other muscle, and neurofeedback provides data that can be used to help train it to become stronger, healthier, and more efficient.

Myndlift Case Studies

Myndlift for PTSD

Crystal, a registered nurse, was able to address symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) with Myndlift. After a traumatic experience, Crystal was left with racing thoughts and anxious feelings that would not go away. Myndlift helped her improve her relationships and work performance. After consistent Myndlift treatments, she no longer felt the need to withdraw from family and friends, and she felt more emotionally balanced in her daily life.

“The experience was incredible,” she told the Myndlift team. “The results review was almost funny because it felt like someone was telling me things about myself that I’ve never shared with anyone.” ⁽²⁾

Myndlift for ADHD

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects more than 366 million people worldwide, ⁽¹⁾ and countless adults may not realize they have it. ADD/ADHD can have a significant impact on focus, social relationships, and quality of life. Several users have reported improvements in focus, emotional health, and physical health after completing a personalized Myndlift treatment protocol.

Laila, a client whose Neuro Coach recommended Myndlift, found that her stress levels decreased after treatment and her concentration levels improved.

Laila told the Myndlift team, “My sleep has improved after a very short time of using it, and I feel more in control of where my attention is going.” ⁽³⁾

Myndlift for Anxiety

Myndlift can help you manage your anxiety by retraining your brain to reduce stress and disrupt negative, distracting thought patterns. Approximately 40 million adults in the United States have an anxiety disorder, highlighting the need for effective yet accessible treatments. ⁽⁴⁾ Unregulated, chronic anxiety can increase your risk of developing stress-related diseases and physical and psychiatric conditions that affect your quality of life, and it can significantly lower sleep quality. ⁽⁵⁾ While you sleep, cerebrospinal fluid cleanses the brain, ⁽⁵⁾ and ensuring that you get adequate rest (7-8 hours each night) is vital for ridding the brain of toxins. In addition to helping you address anxiety with Myndlift, we may also recommend Neuro meditation, a therapy that helps improve mental clarity, mindfulness, and self-regulation while reducing disruptive thought patterns.

Myndlift for Cognitive Function

Myndlift’s most widely-reported benefits are enhanced focus and cognitive function improvements. Whether seeking improvements in mental health or enhancing an already-sharp mind, nearly all users see improvements in emotional regulation, mental clarity, and performance. Others see improvements after traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) create brain inflammation that impacts their daily performance.

Manpreet, a client who received neurofeedback training after a brain injury, said, “Myndlift has been a lifesaver. I have seen massive improvements in my brain functioning and day-to-day abilities. I use it to heal and manage minor brain injury and multiple concussions.” ⁽³⁾

Benefits of Myndlift

There are several benefits to Myndlift, some of which include:

Candidates

Myndlift can benefit nearly anyone. Whether you are looking for a way to improve your mental health alongside medications and therapy, or if you already have good mental health and want to give yourself a competitive edge, you can benefit from incorporating Myndlift into your daily tasks. Myndlift helps users manage a variety of conditions, including (but not limited to):

Myndlift is not meant to replace therapy or mental health medications, but it can help users see significant results sooner alongside them. Certain users, like epileptics or photosensitive clients, may not be recommended for Myndlift because of its audio/visual interface, but a consultation with Erin Badour will help to clarify any concerns and establish candidacy.

Consultation

Your personalized Myndlift protocol begins with a consultation with Erin Badour. During this meeting, Erin will ask about your mental health symptoms, diagnosed conditions, improvement goals, medical history, and more. She will discuss your concerns in depth and ask about how you are managing day-to-day tasks.

If you feel triggered by an event, we can discuss how to navigate and address this as you use Myndlift. With all of this information collected, Erin will create a personalized treatment protocol, including how often you should use Myndlift, the length of your treatment, and more.

If you are interested in learning how you can benefit from Myndlift, please reach out to schedule a consultation today. If you have any questions or prefer to schedule over the phone, please call (310) 821-3640 to reach our offices in Culver City, Santa Monica, or Manhattan Beach.

Results

The results of your treatment will depend on your mental health symptoms and your overall treatment goals. As you progress through your Myndlift protocol, you will notice improved emotional regulation, stress management, mental clarity, and more, all of which will help you enjoy gradual improvements in your quality of life. Most clients see the best results after using Myndlift for several months, as retraining your brain can take up to 12 weeks and 30-40 sessions. Paired with healthy habits, regular exercise, and adequate sleep, you can enjoy long-lasting results. Because using Myndlift will become a habit after a while, many clients see continuous improvements with continued use even after their recommended protocol length is over.

Brain Mapping

Erin may have you undergo brain mapping to better optimize your Myndlift protocol. Brain mapping is a diagnostic process that creates a digital image of the activity in different parts of your brain. This helps professionals better analyze the structure of your brain and its activity, allowing us to better address the repetitive behaviors and thought patterns you wish to improve.

Cost of Myndlift in Southern California and Beyond

The cost of Myndlift will depend on the length of your protocol and the conditions you wish to address. The Myndlift app itself is free to download, but the costs for your personalized protocol will vary. Contact NeuroZone online or call (310) 821-3640 to reach any of our Southern California offices directly to schedule your consultation with Erin and explore how Myndlift can change your life.
