Episode Description
According to Michael Cohen, “Changing your brain changes everything.” Cohen, a former high-tech consultant co-founded The Center for Brain Training in 2006 after his father underwent neurofeedback in a desperate attempt to get a handle on years-long, severe depression after medications and even electroconvulsive (shock) therapy failed to bring him out of unrelenting despair. After a short course in neurofeedback therapy, Cohen's father’s personality returned, and his mood improved to the extent that he re-joined the world. The dramatic change in his father prompted Cohen to continue his efforts and share his knowledge about brain training with others. Cohen is now recognized as a leading expert in the field, teaching neurofeedback to physicians and healthcare professionals both in the United States and abroad. Join Cohen as he explains the mechanisms of action in the brain and the therapies to improve memory, sleep and mood disorders.
Holy Hormones Honey!

Holy Hormones Honey! The Greatest Story Never Told is dedicated to every woman who has ever experienced a hormone fluctuation, from menarche to menopause! Sponsored by Truehope Inc, the leaders in brain health, the show will address core biological issues that cause mood disorders and/or mental illness from a micronutrient support perspective. Because no one can make a sound decision unless their brain functioning is intact.
For decades, the power of women’s hormone shifts has been unrecognized and underestimated. In fact, women make up the majority of mental health diagnoses’ due, in part, to a lack of education about the endocrine system and how and why our hormones affect our minds, moods, and behaviors. For too many years women have been labeled as ‘mentally disordered’ if they struggle with their menstrual cycle. Women will be the portal to sharing this information with the men and children in their lives. Because when women thrive, everyone thrives. Now that is true hope.
