[02:42 - 04:12] The benefits of looking at the brain for mental health

• Aneesh got a brain scan 11 years ago which showed him the benefits of understanding the brain for mental health
• Mental health issues are often treated with medication without looking at the brain
• Scanning and looking at the brain provides more evidence-based ways to address mental health and behavior

[08:42 - 11:30] How brain scans show brain health and function

• Brain scans look at structure and function. CT and MRI scans look at the structure
• QEEG functional scans look at how the brain works and communicates between different regions
• Different wave patterns (beta, alpha, theta, delta) correlate to different frequencies of brain activity and behavior

[11:42 - 15:00] Using neurofeedback to regulate the brain and nervous system

• Techniques like neurofeedback can be used to consciously regulate your brain waves and nervous system
• Controlling breathing patterns is one way to regulate your physiology and manage stress or anxiety
• Other tools like heart rate variability training also help regulate the nervous system

[27:48 - 31:12] Optimizing sleep and sleep hygiene

• Lack of deep delta wave sleep shows up on scans as brain fog during the day
• Tracking sleep with wearables can provide insight into sleep issues
• Having a bedtime routine helps transition the brain into restful frequencies

[36:54 - 39:30] Managing stress and inflammation

• Anxiety and stress lead to increased inflammation in the body
• Being "stuck" in sympathetic fight-or-flight mode for 4-6 hours a day leads to adrenal fatigue and disease
• Regulating the nervous system can reverse inflammation and optimize health
