Dr. Hill is one of the top peak performance coaches in the country. He holds a Ph.D. in Cognitive Neuroscience from UCLA’s Department of Psychology and continues to do research on attention and cognition. Research methodology includes EEG, QEEG, and ERP. He has been practicing neurofeedback since 2003.

In addition to founding Peak Brain Institute, Dr. Hill is the host of the Head First Podcast with Dr. Hill and lectures at UCLA, teaching courses in psychology, neuroscience, and gerontology.

All listeners of my podcast get 50% off their brain mapping with Peak Brain, go check them out in LA, NYC and St. Louis…and if you aren’t in those spaces, no worries, Peak Brain now offers virtual support with the same high touch care.

In this episode, you will learn:

The pivotal moment that turned Dr. Hill onto the power of the brain’s capacity to heal
How his work in gerontology and many forms of psychiatric care have influenced the way he approaches neurofeedback and patient care
What neurofeedback is and who benefits most from it
How to think about making small changes that influence disease
How anxiety is a normal brain circuit and how to rethink the way we frame mental health
The role sugar plays in chronic health conditions
Why western medicine hasn’t helped spread the word on the benefits of neurofeedback but why Dr. Hill is still motivated and hopeful for more people to get this life changing training
