We are learning more and more all the time about how our brains function and what it means to be neurodiverse. In this episode, we explore cutting-edge technologies in the field of brain optimization, which has huge implications in special education. Join us to learn more!
We are joined by Karen Odell-Barber, the founder and CEO of Neurologics, a technology company that does brain mapping and optimization of the brain producing permanent cognitive repair. This optimization leads to an additional 15 functional IQ points for every person who does optimization, regardless of age, along with a wild improvement in memory. As a traumatic brain injury survivor with a severe learning disability, Karen is passionate about brain health and helping people improve their lives.
Show Highlights:
- Neurologic technology was developed at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and incorporates psychometric testing measures.
- The significance of adding functional IQ points through brain optimization
- Why brain function is the foundation of everything we do
- Karen’s work with addicted people
- A child can utilize a higher-functioning brain and still have learning differences.
- Karen’s message: “Brain optimization can have a huge impact on learning and life.”
- Karen’s examples of how even a 40-point jump in functional IQ points is possible with brain optimization!
- How “pruning” occurs in the brain at ages 6-7, 14, and 19-25—and what that means
- The hurdle of getting schools to use science and technology in special education

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
