Brain Fog & Cognitive Decline
If your thinking feels slower, fuzzier, or less reliable than it used to, everyday life becomes harder. Brain reset and optimization can support clearer thinking, better recall, and more mental stamina — for midlife brain fog and aging brain health.
When Your Brain Doesn’t Feel Like “You” Anymore
Brain fog and cognitive slowing can look like:
- Taking longer to find words or finish thoughts
- Walking into a room and forgetting why
- Struggling to follow complex conversations or read dense material
- Feeling mentally “thick,” hazy, or disconnected
- Needing more effort for tasks that used to be automatic
- Worrying about aging, dementia, or “losing yourself”
This can be especially distressing for high‑functioning adults, caregivers, and professionals used to relying on their minds. You may look “fine” on the outside while quietly feeling scared inside.
Slower Doesn’t Always Mean “Broken”
Cognitive changes can come from many contributing factors:
- Long‑term stress and poor sleep
- Hormonal shifts
- Past injuries, illnesses, or inflammatory processes
- Aging‑related changes in blood flow and cellular energy
Often, the brain is still capable — it’s just working harder and less efficiently.
Brain reset and optimization help the brain:
- Practice more efficient communication between key regions
- Reduce some of the “background noise” that makes thinking feel harder
- Support patterns linked to attention, working memory, and processing speed
We always recommend staying connected with your medical providers; our role is to support function and capacity, not diagnose or treat disease.
How Brain Reset Supports Clearer Thinking
For brain fog and age‑related cognitive concerns, we typically focus on:
- Supporting attention and working memory for day‑to‑day tasks
- Improving mental endurance so you can think clearly for longer
- Supporting mood and motivation, which strongly impact cognition
- Helping sleep and stress regulation, both key for brain health
- Encouraging patterns that support flexible, resilient thinking
Tools we may use:
- Dynamical neurofeedback for global regulation and resilience
- Linear neurofeedback for specific cognitive targets where appropriate
- tPBM light therapy for brain energy, circulation, and mitochondrial support
- HEG training when prefrontal function (planning, decisions) is affected
- BioMat sessions for calming the nervous system and supporting recovery
Plans are tailored to where you are now, not where you “used to be,” with the goal of helping you function as well as possible in the life you have today.
In‑Person or At‑Home: Which Is Better for Cognitive Support?
In‑Person Brain Reset (Colorado Springs) is often best if:
- You want a comprehensive look at your brain patterns and options
- You’re combining this with other in‑person care or support
- You prefer to have sessions guided entirely in‑center

At‑Home Brain Reset is often best if:
- Travel is tiring or logistically difficult
- You want to integrate shorter, more frequent sessions into your week
- Multiple family members want to support their brain health together
Both paths are gentle and can be matched to your current energy and capacity.
Not sure which fits you best? That’s exactly what the Brain Plan Call is for.

What Clients With Anxiety & Stress Notice
“I used to have panic moments 3–5 times a day and slept 2–3 hours a night. After sessions, my mind finally calmed down. I sleep, I don’t obsess, and I can actually let things go. It’s made a tremendous impact on my life, my marriage, and my parenting.”
"I started with Raquel when I was dealing with significant insomnia and anxiety. It was affecting my life every day and I was starting to feel like I was broken beyond repair… I recently remarked to a friend that I feel ‘the most like me’ I’ve felt in a long time. The anxiety is so much less and I feel like I have enough skills to manage it so much better.”
“Neurofeedback has been so helpful to my life struggles with anxiety and feeling overwhelmed – it has calmed me and helped so much with thinking clearer.”
“At the lowest point of my life, life felt so dreadful I began welcoming death… After brain training I finally experienced a sense of peace. My thoughts became positive instead of constantly filled with war and abuse. I feel hopeful again.”
You Don’t Have to Manage This Alone
If anxiety and chronic stress have been running your life, it’s not because you’re weak. Your brain has just been stuck in protective habits for along time.
We’ll help you:
- Understand what your brain has been doing and why
- Choose a realistic starting plan (in‑person, at‑home, or tools‑first)
- Support your brain in building calmer, more balanced patterns over time
