(00:00):
Welcome back to brand Lady Speaks.We are joining our conversation with doctor Connie
McReynolds already in progress. So takeit away, Julie. Now tell me
how you what you do with theneurofeedback. How does that work. Let's
(00:21):
take some of the some of themystery out of it, because I know
some people that I talk to they'relike, you know, they're like,
oh, either that's woo woo,or that's creepy, or or they love
it, like you get the fultaitright, yeah, I want it.
This is a good time to emphasizethat I am not a neuural feedback expert.
(00:44):
Doctor Connie is and if anyone watchingthis is experiencing any symptoms of any
any imbalance right any depression symptoms,or or they're currently under the care of
a physician for one thing or another, then please don't just automatically drop that
thing and think that you can doit on your own. You want to
(01:07):
be guided by a professional. Sothat's why I want you to either talk
to your current physician or reach outto a professional such as as doctor McReynolds,
because I just want to make thatdisclaim it very clear right now.
I don't want, you know,people who are on different types of you
know, chemical imbalance or chemical balancingdrugs or or things for add or depression
(01:32):
or anything like that to just allof a sudden go oh, I can
fix it without the drugs. Let'snot just assume that. Right, Let's
let's go to go to that.So how do you treat it? Then?
Right? How you do this assessment? Do you have an assessment for
adults as well as children? Sothe beauty of this is it's validated on
(01:53):
ages six and an op so aslong as you're six. Because it's computer
based, it's been valid that wasyou know, the whole protocol of that
has been well researched and over theyears, and I've been implemented for years
now, so it's been really agood tool for us. And truly it's
(02:14):
about really figuring out what parts areworking and what part needs to be strengthened.
So I think of this as agym for your brain. So if
we understand the concept of neuroplasticity,which some people might not be familiar with,
but it's really the brain's now theability, which means the brain's ability
to learn and change and grow.We have this our entire life, you
(02:35):
know. And so this is justin case we've got some senior citizens sitting
here that think, oh, oh, you hit this certain age and it's
a downhill slide after that. Thatis not true. That is not true.
We have to get rid of thatmyth as well, and we don't
have to be stuck with kind ofthe parts that are working in parts not
working. There's something we can do. So the beauty of neurofeedback is that
(02:57):
it's you're literally training your brain toget stronger in those targeted areas, like
going to the gym for your muscles. The only thing greater about that with
the neuro feedback is that once thebrain learns something through repetition, it tends
to hold on to it. Incase in point, perhaps you learned how
to ride a bicycle when you werea child. Maybe you haven't been on
a bike in thirty years. Guesswhat you can do. You can get
(03:23):
back on the bike and ride it. You don't have to relearn how to
ride a bike, unless, ofcourse, you've had something happen to your
brain. Right, So neurofeedback worksin very much the same way. It's
repetition. So we have low impactwhat looked like video games or video programs
or training programs that we develop intoa training plan, like a thirty minute
(03:46):
training plan that is targeting those areasthat we have found in the assessment.
And so by doing twenty of thosesessions two or three times a week thirty
minute sessions, and we come backafter that and we rerun those assessments to
be able to have the evidence baseddata like this is your beginning point.
This is where you are after tenhours or twenty sessions. These are the
(04:09):
areas that have improved. Maybe theseare some of the remaining areas that could
be strengthened some more. What wouldyou like to do? And so if
they come back and want to kindof finish that out, we'll tool up
that training plan because now we're goingto focus on the remaining areas and really
hone in on those. Now doeseveryone need forty know, some people get
done sooner, some people need longer. It all depends on how the brain
(04:31):
responds to the process. But it'snon invasive, and that's the really important
thing about our program is that trueneuro feedback does not administer anything to the
brain, so it is not sopeople say, am I going to get
shocked? And I used to goout and do a lot of presentations before
COVID, and I would get thatquestion. It's like, you will not
(04:53):
get shocked, but your results couldbe shocking because you could end up with
a very different line if you geteverything coming together. And so men resonate
with engines and I'll say, Okay, you've got a speedy brain here.
Your processing speed's great, but yourgears are not all lined up here,
so you can get from point Ato point B. But if you're only
(05:15):
running on three cylinders instead of six, it's going to be a little clunkier
to get there. It doesn't meanyou can't get there, but you might
get there quicker if we have everythinglined up and everything's working in sync with
everything else in your brain. Sothrough the brain training, we use a
little sensor. So it's important forpeople to understand that because biofeedback is kind
(05:38):
of one of that process where theyused to put like a little clip on
a finger and measure your pulse andso you might learn that by breathing,
you could you know, get biologicalinformation or feedback and you could influence the
rate of your heartbeat. Well,this is brain processes. So we have
a sensor that goes on your scalpthat's measuring brain waves. And by seeing
(06:00):
nearly instantaneous data about how your brain'sresponding and going through the identified training programs,
the protocols that we have, youliterally can impact the way your brain
is learning. And by allowing yourbrain to just learn this process, then
it gets stronger and stronger. AndI've had people come back years later cases
(06:25):
of really significant impact in their livesfrom trauma and all different kinds of things
that can happen to people, andthey'll come back and they'll just say,
I want you to know, it'sbeen five years and I just keep getting
better and better and better. Ilove it. We love it. We
love to hear those stories. Sure. Sure, So it is a physical
(06:46):
activity, well, obviously it's amental activity, but it takes the physical
presence in your office. Well,I can do it remotely too, So
we have the system that the softwarecompany developed for me to where we can
deliver the same type of services.And I'll always put this caveat in I
do not deal with insurance companies andI do not diagnose, because all we're
(07:12):
doing is figuring out can we enhanceattention, concentration, and focus with this
process. We measure all of this. We measure those areas that are working,
find those areas that need to bestrengthened. And literally we can do
this with anyone. And that's thebeauty of it is. You don't have
to live within thirty miles of myclinics here in southern California. We can
(07:33):
help you if this is the rightthing for you. I love it.
I love it. The brain isjust it's just amazing. It's like mind
blowing. It is. It iswhat it's capable of doing. You know
what we are capable of doing incontrolling our brain right, yes, through
(07:57):
the thought process is even more fascinating. Oh my gosh, yes it is.
And so there's so much out thereon mindfulness and such and this really
helps. And you know, sometimesmeditation sometimes I've had people come in and
do a lot of meditation, butthey're still really stressed out. And part
of what this can do is itreally measures the stress level and the brain
and so they'll say, oh,I'm relaxed, and then this little signal
(08:20):
is just flashing going. Excess tension, excess tension and they're going, can
I feel relaxed. It's like thesensors are picking up something different here for
you to your brain or your brainis Yeah. So it's really helpful for
people who are struggling to figure outhow to get relaxed because we can really
(08:45):
show them what's happening and then theybecause we can't know necessarily, you know,
I talk about you know people whogo for body scans to find out
their inflammation. Well, you can'treally know how your body inflame unless you
get a thermograph of it or youknow, thermography situation, and then you
do some interventions, maybe change somethings up, get rid of things you're
(09:07):
allergic to and the life drive thatdown, and then go back and get
another skin. You can literally seeit. But I sometimes know if you
don't have this data, that kindof helps inform you. Yeah, because
sometimes we are people walk around tentsso much. It's so much a part
of their daily life. Yes,that that is normal. It is normal
(09:31):
for them, you know in theirmind, you know, having tense shoulders.
Oh, it's just because I workout all the time, not you
know, it's it just becomes somethingthat is so so regular in their life
that they feel it's normal, andit's it's really not. So it's really
not. And people with trauma arereally susceptible to that because that trauma,
(09:54):
particularly if it's come in from childhoodexperiences. Sometimes I get so locked in
to the Amigdalis system in the brainthat they have no frame of reference for
something to be different, and sothey're hypervigilance. They don't even know that
there's a name for it. Theyjust that's just how they live. And
I learned that from my days atthe VA in Wisconsin, is really what
(10:16):
that PTSD look like in people.And I see it now in children,
and I see it in adults,and I of course see it in military
folks. But when that gets hardwiredin, it's really hard to get that
released within the brain without some typeof proper intervention, and neurofeedback seems to
be just a beautiful way to tacklethat. Yeah, I love it because
(10:37):
you're creating those neurons that fire together, wire together, and so when you
have that traumatic experience and that thatloop is constant in your day to day
life, you're reinforcing that trauma likealmost daily in your brain. So by
creating, as you mentioned earlier,because the brain is so miliable and it
(10:58):
can learn, and it can createthose neuneral connections. You need to make
new neurons fire and fire and fireto create that new that new positive feedback
loop instead of the negative one.That's that's just brilliant. I love this.
Like I said at the beginning,I love this topic because it really
helps us to understand and learn whatthe brain is capable of. And with
(11:24):
guidance, right, we can't alljust go out there and say, Okay,
I'm just going to do it myself. We need we need these This
is where technology comes in very handybecause it can help us in that diagnostic
process and in doing the process correctly, you know, making the pong ball
(11:45):
hit just right well. And Ithink it is a positive use of technology.
And I have a section in thebook about some of these video games
that are out there these children areexposed to. And I've literally had parents
call and have dealt with a youngteenage boy who was completely addicted to these
(12:07):
video games. And once they startedtrying to get him off, they called
it said, it's like he's goingthrough withdrawals. And I met with him,
it's like he is he is becausethese programs have started dumping so much
dopamine into his brain that the problemis, once the brain gets that external
jolt for it, it stops producingits own. And so there is where
(12:31):
addiction can take hold, is thatthat brain, under its normal processes,
doesn't produce. It has to havethe video game now to create the dopamine.
And that can be a very difficultthing for parents to deal with.
Yeah, so word, if youhave a young child, get them out
there, get them in the dirt. That's right outside, playing in the
(12:54):
sunshine, in the rain, exactly, not gonna hurt him. My kids
were always I loved them play videogames, Don't get me wrong. I
even had a profile and I wouldplay the video games with them. I'm
not saying I didn't, you know, but they was always restricted time limit
and they were always like put thatdown and get out there and climb a
(13:15):
tree or build a fort. Mykids were always good at that. And
while you while you're out at stackof the wood, it didn't hurt them
one single bit. Right, that'sright, That is so right. We've
lost a little bit of that,I think, Yeah, in years and
so the more we can really helpchildren get grounded really in the external outdoor
(13:37):
world and understand kind of how thatworks. I think the better off they
are because they just have yeah,for sure, for sure. All right,
So you have referenced a couple ofa few times the book which is
solving the riddle, the Real Cosmand Lasting, the solving the ADHD riddle,
(13:58):
my apologies, the real cause,Lasting solutions to your child struggle to
learn. Tell us a little bitabout that book, and then where can
the listeners and we will put theinformation in the show notes as well,
But where can the listeners get thebook or connect with you more? If
(14:18):
they're like, I think I needto talk to Connie some more. Yeah,
so you can go to my website. So it's just my name,
Connie mcrenolds, so COO n nI E M c R E y n
O l ds dot com. Thelink to the book is on the homepage.
But there's also a contact form andso if you fill that out,
give me your phone number and somegood times to give you a call.
(14:41):
People try to email this, andI have found over the years that trying
to answer emails on this is justtoo complex. Yeah, because I can
answer this question it's going to generatethree more. So I'll do a fifteen
to twenty minute consult for no chargeto people and just kind of talk to
them about what this is and maybeanswer some couple of questions they might have.
Happy to do that. I've beendoing that for years because it's better.
(15:03):
That way, you get to talkto me and I can understand your
situation a little bit better. Endup on the website. There's a lot
of information, so I have somearticles that I published over the time.
The book is available there. It'salso available in Amazon, so it's there
for the audiobook, the ebook,and the paperback is there, and I
(15:24):
think there might be a little discounton the ebook coming up over Thanksgiving,
so if people want to click onthat, you can do that for the
next few days, a little bitof discount there for Good Friday. I
love it. I love it,and you are on Facebook and we've got
that's a little long, so justcheck out the show notes. If you're
(15:46):
listening to this, check out theshow notes. We'll put that link in
there and on LinkedIn again. It'sgot some numbers after it. Instagram's a
little bit easier because it's morning Starneuro feedback. Hey read that right.
Awesome, awesome, So we againwe will put for all the listeners.
We will put all of those waysto connect with doctor McReynolds in the show
(16:08):
notes, and I encourage you toconnect with her. I just followed her
on Instagram, so I'm going tolook forward to, you know, seeing
her wisdom as she puts out thoseposts and those those little tidbits of wonderful
information. Thank you so much,doctor Reynolds for being on the Brain Lady

you're watching live or you're listening lateras a podcast, thank you for being
(16:51):
here with us. There's so muchhope and so much, so many wonderful
things that we can do when wedrive and dive in to brain science and
neuroscience and how that wraps into psychologyand what we can do to just feel
better each and every day out there. So with that, I encourage everyone
if the information in this program today, in this show today was of interest
(17:15):
to you, if it was somethingthat you're like, oh, I'm part

(11:24):
guidance, right, we can't alljust go out there and say, Okay,
I'm just going to do it myself. We need we need these This
is where technology comes in very handybecause it can help us in that diagnostic
process and in doing the process correctly, you know, making the pong ball
(11:45):
hit just right well. And Ithink it is a positive use of technology.
And I have a section in thebook about some of these video games
that are out there these children areexposed to. And I've literally had parents
call and have dealt with a youngteenage boy who was completely addicted to these
(12:07):
video games. And once they startedtrying to get him off, they called
it said, it's like he's goingthrough withdrawals. And I met with him,
it's like he is he is becausethese programs have started dumping so much
dopamine into his brain that the problemis, once the brain gets that external
jolt for it, it stops producingits own. And so there is where
(12:31):
addiction can take hold, is thatthat brain, under its normal processes,
doesn't produce. It has to havethe video game now to create the dopamine.
And that can be a very difficultthing for parents to deal with.
Yeah, so word, if youhave a young child, get them out
there, get them in the dirt. That's right outside, playing in the
(12:54):
sunshine, in the rain, exactly, not gonna hurt him. My kids
were always I loved them play videogames, Don't get me wrong. I
even had a profile and I wouldplay the video games with them. I'm
not saying I didn't, you know, but they was always restricted time limit
and they were always like put thatdown and get out there and climb a
(13:15):
tree or build a fort. Mykids were always good at that. And
while you while you're out at stackof the wood, it didn't hurt them
one single bit. Right, that'sright, That is so right. We've
lost a little bit of that,I think, Yeah, in years and
so the more we can really helpchildren get grounded really in the external outdoor
(13:37):
world and understand kind of how thatworks. I think the better off they
are because they just have yeah,for sure, for sure. All right,

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.
