Speaker: Dr. Michael Dody, Doctor of Chiropractic , Dody Chiropractic Center for Wholeness
Who are you and who do you help?
Dr. Michael Dody: Hello, My name is Dr Michael Dody. I'm the owner and founder of Dody Chiropractic Center for Wholeness in Littleton, Colorado. We've been doing we've been here since about 2003. We started doing neurofeedback approximately five years ago and we definitely are helping a lot of kids with ADD ADHD anxiety. We also see a lot of adults with PTSD or we've even seen, you know, several people with brain injuries. Those are the people that we are helping here at our center.
What problem were you trying to solve when you found NewMind, and what made you choose NewMind over anything else?
Dr. Michael Dody: The original reason why we started doing neurofeedback was actually for myself, you know, I was doing a lot of research about just, you know, ways to optimize my brain function, and I noticed that I was having some issues with being overwhelmed, especially if I had a lot on my platter and it would make me irritable and I just didn't really like that. And I wanted to find ways to optimize brain function. And through my research I found neurofeedback was one of the best ways to do that. And then I started looking at different way different neurofeedback companies or different like systems to use. And that's how I found NewMind and Dr. Soutar specifically, just from all of the research that I did. And so from my research, the big things that I liked about NewMind was that the way that they did the brain mapping the specific protocols being able to train both sides of the brain at the same time. And you know, also just, you know, some of the things that you can do with photic entrainment as well. So those are big reasons why I chose NewMind over another system
What type of results or successes have you achieved with NewMind?
Dr. Michael Dody: We've seen some pretty amazing results. In fact, we have quite a few testimonials on our YouTube web page from parents and other individuals who have actually gone through the training and it's been life changing. I mean, it's that's the most gratifying thing is when we have somebody coming in who really isn't functioning well in just day to day life, their brain isn't working optimally. And then we're able to reconnect those better pathways and train those better pathways. And by the end of the training protocols, they're basically, they've got their life back and we've heard that many many times. So I would say that that's the most gratifying. Along with also, there was a young boy who came in here who definitely was pretty hyperactive and had a lot of attention issues. And I remember his mom came in, after probably about 10 sessions, and she said for the first time in his entire life they were able to sit down and watch a complete movie together. Which she was just absolutely overwhelmed, because with emotion, because for the first time she was able to actually watch a movie with her with her son and that was pretty cool.
How has NewMind simplified home training benefited your clinic and your clients, and how has it helped you grow your business?
Dr. Michael Dody: The home training units have really been a game changer because we get people off of our website from all over the country. In fact, we have somebody in New York City, somebody in Texas, and we're located in Colorado that are doing home training with us. And that's the cool thing is we actually have that option. If they can get out here to do a brain map or if they have relatives in the area, like the person in New York City, we actually are able to, you know, give them some, you know, ability to actually do the training from a distance. And it's just been amazing to be able to offer that. So it's really opened up the ability and the potential patients that are going to be able to come in to do neurofeedback.
How would you describe what NewMind is, to a colleague, and why would you recommend it to them?
Dr. Michael Dody: NewMind is a system that does neurofeedback. And I guess like I talked about before, the biggest thing that I like is that unlike some of the other systems that trains both sides of the brain at the same time, so you can do a asymmetry protocols. That you can train left and right, you know together and make sure that things are balanced as far as brain function, which not all neurofeedback systems actually do. The one thing I really like about NewMind is the data and the research behind it with Dr. Soutar and that database. You know, we've been using this and we've been using the protocols for five plus years now and we've seen amazing results with just about everybody. I mean we rarely have anybody not see results with the neurofeedback. And so I think that that gives NewMind a little bit of an edge over other systems that don't have that data base and the ability to know exactly what to train and when to train it. And that really makes it easy for the doctor to do neurofeedback and and it makes it much better for the patient as well
