Brain Optimization Tools: HEG, Light Therapy & More
Some tools help train the wiring (how your brain functions and communicates). Others help fuel the cells (cellular energy and recovery) that support that wiring. At Breakthrough, we intentionally use both as part of your Brain & Body Wellness Stack.
Neurofeedback remains the foundation for retraining brain patterns. The tools on this page either strengthen specific functions (like focus and self‑regulation) or support the brain and body at the cellular level so change is easier and more sustainable.
Why We Use More Than One Tool
Neurofeedback is powerful, but it’s often not the only support the brain needs.
Some clients do best with:
- A lighter first step before full neurofeedback
- Extra support for focus, blood flow, or brain energy
- Recovery tools to help their nervous system and body catch up as their brain changes
That’s why we also offer:
- HEG (hemoencephalography) prefrontal training
- tPBM (transcranial light therapy)
- Infrared BioMat sessions
- LifeWave phototherapy patches
We use a mix of functional tools (like HEG) that train how the brain activates and self‑regulates, and cellular tools (like tPBM, BioMat, and LifeWave) that support energy, circulation, and recovery in the body.
These aren’t random add‑ons. Some tools train function (how your brain activates, focuses, and calms). Others support fuel and recovery at the cellular level so new patterns can actually stick. They’re the ones we’ve tested on ourselves, our families, and clients over years and kept because they consistently support sleep, focus, regulation, and recovery when used well.
These tools can:
- Be added to your Brain Reset Foundation or Brain Power Stack program, or
- Be used as a Tools‑First Reset if you’re not ready for full neurofeedback yet
They’re especially helpful for brain fog, low energy, post‑concussion changes, and executive function support.
One device, many brains:
Tools like HEG and tPBM are simple and gentle enough that multiple family members can use the same device. One investment can support everyone in the house, not just the person doing in‑office neurofeedback.
These tools are available in Colorado Springs or as at‑home packages nationwide.
HEG Prefrontal Training
Functional brain training. Think of HEG as strength training for your brain’s executive center. Supports focus, emotional regulation, and self‑control through improved prefrontal activation and regulation. Especially helpful for ADHD, executive function challenges, emotional overwhelm, and frontal‑lobe underactivation.
Learn MoretPBM Light Therapy
Non‑invasive light therapy that supports cellular energy and circulation in the brain. Think of tPBM as fuel for the wiring you’re training.
Especially helpful for brain fog, low mental energy, post‑concussion support, and healthy brain aging.
Infrared BioMat Sessions
Nervous system and body recovery. Supports deep relaxation, circulation, and physical recovery, helping the nervous system downshift so repair is easier.
Especially helpful for chronic stress, body tension, pain patterns, and nervous system downshifting.
LifeWave Phototherapy Patches
Cellular body foundation support. Supports whole‑body energy, recovery, and stress resilience so your brain and nervous system live in a healthier “container.”
Especially helpful for low energy, poor sleep, stress overload, and long‑held tension patterns.
Standalone or Stacked – How Tools Fit Into Your Plan
Neurofeedback (NeurOptimal® and QEEG‑guided linear training) is the foundation for retraining brain wiring. The tools on this page are gentle, non‑invasive add‑ons that either train specific functions (like focus and self‑regulation) or support cellular energy and recovery so your system can respond better.
Common patterns include:
- Brain Reset + Tools (Phase 1 + support)
Use HEG, tPBM, BioMat, or LifeWave alongside your Brain Reset Foundation program for faster or deeper results. - Tools‑First Reset (gentler Phase 1)
Start with HEG and/or tPBM as a lighter option if you’re not ready for full neurofeedback (for example, due to sensitivity, budget, or bandwidth), then add neurofeedback later once your system has a bit more fuel and stability. - Momentum Maintenance & Tune‑Ups (Phase 3)
Use tools like tPBM, HEG, and BioMat to support ongoing brain and nervous system health after completing a main Brain Reset or Brain Power Stack program.
We’ll help you decide what makes sense given your goals, history, and capacity.
In‑Center vs At‑Home – How You Can Use These Tools
In‑Center Tools (Colorado Springs)
You can experience HEG, tPBM, and BioMat sessions in‑person as part of your neurofeedback program or as focused tools‑only packages. In‑center tools provide drug‑free support for stress, energy, focus, and recovery.
See In‑Person ProgramsAt‑Home Tool Packages
Some tools can be used at home for ongoing support, such as:
- At‑home HEG training packages
- At‑home tPBM light therapy packages
- LifeWave phototherapy patches
These are especially powerful for families, because one HEG or tPBM system can safely support multiple people (for example, a child doing in‑center neurofeedback plus parents or siblings using HEG or tPBM at home). For at‑home tools, we typically:
- Use a small non‑refundable deposit to reserve systems or packages (applied toward your program), and
- Walk you through a simple plan and payment options on a Brain Plan Call or consult.
If you’re already confident you want to move forward with an at‑home HEG or tPBM plan, you can also place a $50 deposit and we’ll contact you to finalize details.
Brain optimization tools may be a good starting point if you:
- Want a gentler first step than full neurofeedback
- Have focus, energy, or recovery issues and want targeted support
- Are already doing neurofeedback and want to accelerate or deepen your progress
- Are managing chronic stress, pain, TBI, or burnout and want extra support for your nervous system
- Prefer shorter, simpler sessions you can fit into a busy schedule
- Want an option where multiple family members can benefit from the same device
- Are dealing with brain fog, burnout, or post‑concussion symptoms
- Want to support foundational cellular energy and recovery in addition to brain‑based regulation
If you’re not sure, we can talk through it on a Brain Plan Call or as part of your first in‑person session.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do neurofeedback before using these tools?
Notalways. Some people start with tools‑only plans (like HEG Executive Focus Resetor a Brain Energy Reset with tPBM) as a gentler or more affordable first step. Others add tools on top of neurofeedback as part of a Brain Power Stack for deeper or faster results.
Can these tools replace neurofeedback?
For some people, tools‑only can be enough to see meaningful changes in focus, energy, sleep, or recovery. For others, the best results come from both: neurofeedback to retrain wiring and tools (HEG, tPBM, BioMat, LifeWave) to support fuel, blood flow, and recovery. We’ll help you decide what makes sense for your situation.
Can more than one family member use HEG or tPBM?
Yes. One HEG or tPBM system can often be safely used by multiple family members under one plan, which is why many families like starting with these tools. We’ll give you clear guidelines on who can use what, how often, and how to share equipment safely.
Are these tools safe for kids and teens?
In many cases, yes. HEG and tPBM are gentle, non‑invasive tools that can be appropriate for children and teens when used correctly. We review age, history, and sensitivities with you first and give clear, age‑appropriate protocols.
How do I know which tool (or stack) is right for me?
That’s what the Brain Regulation Pattern Quiz andBrain Plan Call are for. We look at your patterns, goals, and capacity, thenrecommend whether to start with neurofeedback, a tools‑only reset, or a BrainPower Stack that combines both.
Want Help Choosing the Right Tools?
Whether you’re interested in neurofeedback, tools‑only support, or a custom stack, we’ll help you design a plan that matches your goals, budget, and real life – including options that support your whole family.
