Rewiring the Brain: The Power of Neurofeedback for Healing and Performance



What if your brain could heal itself—naturally? In this episode of Beyond The Pills, we dive into the world of neurofeedback and integrative brain health with John Mekrut, founder of The Balanced Brain Neurofeedback Training Center in Los Angeles. After a career in Hollywood, John discovered the power of neurofeedback through a deeply personal journey with his daughter on the autism spectrum. Now, he helps individuals optimize their brain function to achieve lasting wellness.

John’s expertise bridges the gap between cutting-edge neuroscience and holistic healing. With training from the world-renowned Othmer Institute and qEEG specialist Dr. David Kaiser, he uses brain self-regulation techniques to help clients overcome anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and more. But his approach doesn’t stop at the brain—his team integrates functional medicine, nutritional lab testing, biometrics, and holistic coaching to ensure full-body wellness.

Imagine reducing stress, sharpening your focus, and enhancing cognitive performance without pharmaceuticals. Through neurofeedback, John helps clients retrain their brains effortlessly—unlocking better sleep, emotional resilience, and peak mental performance. Whether advising corporate wellness programs, speaking at events, or working with individuals, his mission is clear: true healing starts from within.

Don’t miss this powerful discussion on rewiring your brain for better health. Tune in to learn how neurofeedback can be the missing piece in your wellness journey.
