The 15% Principle That Rewires Your Brain For Good

If you could give someone you love a 15% better functioning brain, would you do it?That is the question Steve started with when he thought about what to give his son for turning 18. Not a watch, not a car. A better functioning brain, and the 40 years of focus, sleep, and calm that could come with it.Then he asked the harder question. Could he do it for himself first?This week Steve walks you through what happened when he stopped guessing about his own brain and actually looked at it. He got a qEEG scan. He watched the red and the blue on the report, the areas running too hot and too quiet, and over a seven month period he set out to change them. Meditation, hypnotherapy, one psychedelic therapy session, and 40 neurofeedback sessions later, he did four scans, and by the end everywhere that was red and blue was gone. His brain had come back into a normal range.0:00 The 15% Question0:51 Welcome, And What This Is Really About1:17 Why I Wanted To Give My Son A Better Brain2:21 The Organ Nobody Ever Looks At3:39 What A qEEG Scan Actually Is4:37 Your Brainwaves, From Delta To High Beta6:23 What The Colors On My Scan Meant7:06 The Scan Knew Me Before I Said A Word8:19 From Broken Man To Man With An Injury9:03 Your Brain Can Change: Neuroplasticity9:57 Seven Months, Four Scans, Red And Blue Gone10:44 What I Actually Did, Including 40 Neurofeedback Sessions12:55 Three Ways To Look At Your Brain: Scan, Genetics, Chemistry14:25 The 15% Principle15:41 The Sleep Math That Changes Everything16:31 Why I Make This PodcastWhat you will hear:Why seeing the scan changed how Steve saw himself, from a broken man to a man with an injury, the way a torn ACL is something you image and fixWhat a qEEG scan actually is, and what the colors on the report meanWhat 40 neurofeedback sessions feel like from the inside, and why surf videos were involvedThe 15% principle, and why chasing one big fix kept Steve quitting things that were quietly workingThe sleep math that turns six hours into seven, three minutes at a timeYour brain runs everything you do, and most people have never once looked at it.
