Discussions on mental health are increasingly becoming more open and destigmatized. With this, people’s knowledge of what they can do for their mental wellbeing increases. Here to talk about a more direct and biological solution for mental health issues are Angie Noack, VP of Business Development, and Rachel Ragsdale, founder of BrainCode Centers. In this episode, they sit down with host Stephen Jaye to walk us through their neurological methods that involve brain mapping, neurofeedback, qEEG, and more. They talk about attacking the root cause and giving you a chance to treat the underlying issues directly in the brain. Take this time to learn more about this novel approach by tuning in.

How Brain Mapping Is Changing The Game For Mental Health With Angie Noack and Rachel Ragsdale
Those of you who have been reading some of my previous episodes know that I like to talk quite frequently about mental health. It is a major part of the human experience that tragically until relatively has largely been ignored. I think the attitude used to be suck-it-up and do your job and not deal with whatever is bugging you on the inside or whatever's going on with whatever's wrong.

That may lead to an existence that gets the job done. Sucking it up does not lead to a very happy existence. I love to hear stories about people who are taking new approaches and trying to help people out with mental health. My guests are Rachel Ragsdale and Angie Noack from Braincode Centers. Welcome to the program.

Thanks for having us.

Thank you so much. We're excited to be here.

Thank you so much for coming onto this show. The first thing I want to know is Braincoad Centers use a technology called Braincode Mapping. Can you explain to our audience who may be curious about different aspects of mental health and how we can go about improving our mental health? How does this Braincode Mapping process work?

I'll start us off here. I love that question, and I know Angie also loves that question because that is truly what our company thrives on is looking at the root cause of what's going on. Very much so classically and mental health, the two main things that people seek out when they're not feeling well are prescription medications or counseling. Both of those two are good things that you can get involved in. There are no problems with either of them, but we do believe firmly that misses the why, and it misses the root of what's going on.

We look at the organ that we're treating, and we do that through that qEEG Brain Map that you were referring to. It tells us where there are areas of under or overactivity, which we know clinically are going to produce symptoms for people. That is where we start. That is the baseline that gives us the direction to everything that we do from a treatment standpoint.

I apologized when I introduced you. I forgot to introduce your specific roles. Rachel, I know you're the cofounder of the organization and Angie, I know you're the Vice President of Business Development. Please feel free to answer whatever questions I follow up with, whatever pertains accurately to your specific roles with this organization.

This Braincode Map you're saying can explain some of the things that a lot of people observe. What I mean is everything from the obvious schizophrenia, the ones that are diagnosed, to the people who more generically say, “I have anxiety, I have trouble focusing sometimes.” All types of ailments that people talk about.

We treat anything from anxiety, depression, ABB, bipolar, trauma, PTSD, brain injuries and sleep issues. I would say more common. Some of the top things that we treat are the things that I mentioned but what Rachel was saying, rather than treating these mental health issues with synthetic substances, medication and things like that or even talk therapy, which we believe in.

Rachel and I both have licenses in clinical mental health.
