Do you want eight ways to maximize strength, eliminate pain, and revitalize all day energy and confidence? Welcome to Brain Power unleashed.

I'm Liz Arlene. If you've ever felt the frustration, weakness and pain of living like you're the underpowered engine of a well built muscle car, Like, all the parts are there. They're connected. They're working like they're supposed to, but the power and torque are lacking.

Is not your fault. It's easy to fall into the trap that your age is catching up to you, or you can't feel strong and confident Keep up with your kids, make it through a work day without feeling exhausted. Reconconnect with your spouse, family or friends, regain some of that useful passion, unless you get hormone shots, supplements or spend more hours in the gym with all the other responsibilities you have going on. We're here to show you how in just five to ten minutes a day, you can access more of your strength, power, accuracy, and coordination, and have energy all day long.

We're here to show you how routine conventional fitness, misinformed fitness trends and influencers, cookie cutter approaches, Settling for getting older means your body is gonna break down chronic stress, unsustainable lifestyle habits, and complacency setting you up for failure. My goal for this webinar is to help people who, like, wanna regain that athletic prime. You want all energy levels. You need faster recovery times.

You wanna work out or play your sports or whatever activity is with ease and you wanna feel sharp and on it all the time. You also wanna feel strong and confident. You keep up with your kids or maybe younger players in a rec league. You wanna make it through a workday without feeling exhausted and burnout.

And you wanna regain some of the little passion and just self perk you once had. We wanna get all that done though without burning out. Spending more time in the gym, trying to fit in doctors and now or pass and chiropractors into your already busy day or living life on medications and hundreds of dollars worth of supplements. So who am I?

And what do I know about this? Liz Arlene. I am best known for helping athletes, musicians, and just people who move for a living, achieve pain free performances, and then go on to push the boundaries of what their body can achieve without breaking. So I really wanna see how good can you be?

How far can we push you without increasing your risk for injury or burning you out. I've worked with a lot of people who move for a living. I've worked with the Olympic team. I've worked professional team and hundreds of professional Olympic, collegiate, amateur, and performing artists as clients of mine.

If you move for a living or for your enjoyable pastime, we've probably worked with somebody like you. It took me quite a bit of time to get here though, but I have a lot of education and an alphabet soup of certification and licenses under my belt to help me properly guide my clients. Here's something I noticed though. Over the the last fifteen years that I've worked in sports, fitness and health.

I realized a trend. Most of my clients came to originally see me for some type of pain. If it was back pain, if it was a shoulder issue, knee, hip, whatever. And then as we worked through that, they would start feeling better and go home god.

This is amazing. I can move and I can do this and my back doesn't hurt. And I feel good all the time. And what I realized is They were confusing normal with greatness.

So normal should be the absence of pain, the absence of exhaustion in fatigue, brain fog, weakness, or that general just suck. Normal should be no pain. It's all day energy. It's stress resistance.

And my clients would be like, I feel amazing.

Right? I'd be like, we can do so much more with you though. Like, now we can start looking at let's get PRs. Let's push the boundaries of what you can do.

Let's get you to feel invincible, but without adding additional risk injury to what you're doing. I mean, like, there's more. Like, yeah. And so that ended up becoming how I've seen this trend with my clients because they come in for pain.

We get them out of pain. Normal feels amazing. And then once they realize how how much more efficient much more energy, how much more strength normal was for them, then we can even move on into greatness if they wanted. Or a lot of people are just like, may if I had known that normal felt this good, I would have done this years ago.

So sometimes we just say cool. Here's your new normal. The only way to get there, and the way that found that works with hundreds of athletes and performers that I've worked with is through my proprietary system, the Neuro Performance Movement System. And we can do this in just minutes a day.

How does this apply to you? If you move for a living, it applies to you. Clients come in feeling just physically rusty, mentally fatigued. They're just stiff.

Maybe morale has taken a hit. If they're working out, everything just feels harder than it used to. Recovery is taking longer, and they're more susceptible to injuries like back pain pops up all the time. Oh, there it went ahead.

All this shoulder just isn't working anymore. I'm getting headaches. I never used to get her. Man, I'm just sore for days now when it didn't used to be that hard.

A lot of some people have come in to see us. They've tried chiropractors, massage therapists, physical therapists, personal trainers. Like, they've switched up what active the use they participated. Some of them, their warm ups are longer than their entire workout is.

Some of medicine cabinets full of hundreds of dollars of supplements and and I know people who spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on new mattresses and pillows and worktears and everything. And yet, normal still just kind of sucks. There's more potential. Like, you know, you know there's just a little bit more there, but maybe you just can't reach it.

A lot of them kind of took that as a personal defeat. Like, oh, I'm just getting older or I just have all these responsibilities now or I have to do this and I have to do that and work and conventional training and and, you know, the health kind of industry that we have right now is what's letting you down. Here are some of the results. People who have worked with us.

You kinda see where we're going with this. So John came to me, who's a busy health care company executive.

He'd spent life competing and bodybuilding and jujitsu and and some other kind of sports in there in college and stuff. But he came to see me because part of kind of his professional head career had morphed into doing a lot of golfing. I'd be like, oh my god, like, I can't move today. First one on one, we already saw results.

And he was hooked from the first day. Like, we were working with him and I, you know, at the end of my sessions, I'm always like, okay, get up, walk around, see how things feel. And and he just stood like, stared at me for a little bit. I was like, you okay?

Sometimes your brain has to take a moment. And he's like, I feel I just feel light. Like, I can just move, and I don't I'll have to think about it. I'll have to fight it.

I can just that it doesn't hurt and look how far I can move. And I was like, yeah.

Welcome to working with me. Normal should be no pain. Moving with ease. Feeling flowy and fluid while still having the strength you need to get through it.

So if his normal became golfing four or five even six days a week, sometimes, and his back, totally fine. He is throwing his kids around, and he feels great. Even he he came in one day. He goes, man, even my golf coach wanted to know what I was doing because he saw a difference in my swing and how much further it's hitting the ball.

I was like, yeah, like, that's that's what we do. Right? And so we he feels like the work that he's putting into the body is equal to the results that he's getting out for once. So how did we get him there?

Let me tell you a couple of secrets. The first one is that we have to reactivate the dormant performance lobes of your brain to defy age feel it your prime again. So that sounded really sciency, but I promise, let me break it down for you. Okay.

So our brains control our performances. But our brain is also like a muscle and it's a use it or lose it organ. So when we start losing skills, we naturally become more anxious or stressed. Okay.

So here's what this looks like. As a kid, we spent a lot of time playing. Like, maybe as a kid, you were outside and you were flipping around on monkey bars, like climbing trees and you're running around playgrounds. And so what we're doing is our moving our bodies in so many different ways.

Sometimes we're hanging upside down, and our heads are flying all over the place. And we're having all these different skills. We're swimming. We're doing this, right?

But then as we get older, We tend to do this. We look straight ahead except for that one time when we go to turn our head really quickly to look at traffic and then all of a sudden we've like spas something in our neck. Right? Because everything's in front of us.

Our phone's in front of us. Our computer's in front of us. Our work is in front of us. Like here it is.

Our bodies just tend to lock down here. And then we wanna move them and it goes, oh, I don't remember how to do that. Right? You know, if you get to work one day, like, half of the keys on your keyboard are missing.

Now you kind of know what they are, but it still might give some anxiety into. It's like, oh, the keys that I want, like, the labels aren't there. Like, you can still kind of get your work done, but they're not there. And so that raises some anxiety for you, but really what our brain is doing because it can, like, kind of remember that we used to be able to do something like this, but we haven't done it so long.

Like, we don't know so it actually naturally increases our anxiety and our stress levels. Not to mention, you're actually losing those skills. So you're losing strength. You're losing flexibility.

You're losing reaction time. You're losing balance. You're losing memory.

Okay. And then that's what adds to all these energy leaks throughout the day. What ends up happening then is as we're adults, we're sending negatively. Like, we have all this vision coming in from phones and driving and computers and TV and stuff.

But were understimulated in the positive and performance ways that helped us be able to move and swing and play and get that flexibility so that ends up zapping like tons of mental and physical injury and sets us up for overuse or poor mechanics based injuries. So I we start going through this and as I'm trying to, like, work guys into this idea, like, hey, your brain and connecting to your body is really important. It's actually kind of crucial here. We'll have a lot of people that come in and be like, man, like, I've worked with proteins.

I've worked with trainers, orthos, physios, like, can you get me out of pain any better than these guys? Right. So remember, we have all these skills that we're losing as we're kind of getting older in our lives or giving us into tunnel vision thing. And so what I realized I've been working with a lot of pro teams and even like the Olympic team, most of the athletic training departments or strength and conditioning teams had their own flavor of how they wanted to do things.

But in a lot of their protocols didn't allow for enough personalization for the athletes. So, like, yeah, everybody's doing squats today in deadlifts. Okay. Cool.

And you might have an athletic trainer there. It's like making sure that, you know, your form is just and that kind of thing. But what they're not doing is like looking at the entire picture of an athlete and going, Hey, this athlete is like super overstimulated in frontal lobe decision making. This athlete has really crappy balance.

Like, we need to do this. We're like, nope. By doing squats and deadlifts today. Okay.

So each athlete needs a general framework of skills yet but we also have to have personalization to exactly what that athlete means. So here's an example of that. I was working with a pro soccer player. And as they do, ankles or soccer issue, athletic trainer was one of those guys that just, like, we're gonna tape the ever living snot out of this.

So we're tape your ankle and tape your ankle and tape your ankle. And he rolled it really, really badly one more time, and he had a whole history of this. And it kinda got into the point where it was career ending injuries for his ankle. And so I went to him, and I was like, what if we went the opposite direction?

Like, what if we took your ankle to its very end range of motion and then actually strengthened it there. Not like tried tried to protect it, but after strengthened it. So if you're on the field and that ankle rolls all the way to that degree, you can actually move through it. And his the athletic trainer there was like, no.

We're not doing that. You're you're gonna ruin his ankles. And I was like, well, what you're doing isn't working. So, like, let's push the limit, but create strength at the limit of it.

It was one of those cases where he got traded. What took him out was an ACL injury, unfortunately. So there's a lot of science behind this. Talking about how, like, the brain, fifty percent of the brain is is vision based.

How much we need vestibular balance that comes for our our middle years. How are the activation of our muscles actually more to do with our brain remembering the muscle is there, then how much strength the muscle can actually have in terms of like lifting a fifteen pound dumbbell versus like a fifty pound dumbbell. Now as you're going through this, you might also be thinking, I don't understand how this brain training stuff will be different from what I've done before. How it's gonna work for maybe a specific health condition that you have, how we're actually going to be able to fit it into your current lifestyle routine.

Here's some truths to help with that. The first is that I've noticed it. Success depends on the personalized activation of each performance level of your brain. So we have six major performance lobes.

Each of them has a very important part to do, but if we're not specifically targeting that area, you're losing those skills, you're losing those keys off of the keyboard, and it creates anxiety. It creates that weakness. So what we've realized is we have to work all of those. So this isn't day like, okay, you need to program in squats and deadlifts.

No. This is like, hey, let's look at what areas of your brain needs to get back up to speed, and here are some things that are gonna target that area of the brain specifically, like the cerebellum, which helps us with ERC and how we're going to move quickly. Another thing that I've realized is the people who do really well with us need support and freedom.

Okay. So when we're working with athletes, we realized that those who had support the most, those who could reach out to us kind of on the medical side the most who could be there as they needed. We're awesome, but those who always felt like, hey, we had to micromanage everything at the same time. This is too much.

Right? So we need to be able to find, a system where you can access us as much as you need, but then also the ability in space to enact those things and apply them yourself. And what we also need to establish before anything else is a pain free normal is the new baseline. And what's really interesting about that is that we've learned through pain studies that men and women They feel pain differently, and that's okay.

When men are in pain, they tend to back off whatever is it puts them in paint, we called it this kineosophobia, which means if my shoulder hurts, they have a tendency to just not move the shoulder. And that just further exacerbates this losing of the brain kind of skills that we see, whereas women are more likely to kind of push through that pain, but they experience it much more in mentally, but men are much more susceptible to losing some of these skills if any pain pops up. So it's very important to me that especially in our with a male client. They're like, okay, where's your pain?

And we have to get you out of pain so that you don't lose that movement scale. Here is a checking really important secret to clients who do really well with us.

You do what you do. It's what you don't do that sets you up for injuries and weakness. Okay. So here's what I mean by this.

Fall. Everybody starts getting up on ladders, get all the leaves out of their gutters or put up Christmas lights or Halloween decorations or whatever it is. Right? We're taught a lot times in the JEMNet.

We pick something up and we look forward. We do this and we look forward. We do this and we look forward. Right?

Very rarely are we focusing on something that's, like, our balance is all over the place as we're trying to get up maybe not so sturdy ladder at the same time that we're twisting and doing things here, and our eyes are probably scanning all over the house.

So going back to that first secret, this is a skill that isn't done any times throughout the year. So it does not surprise me in any way, shape, or form that a lot of injuries occur off of a ladder because this skill as you're balancing and trying to do all this stuff has been lost. So when you get up there and do it, your brain's like, I kind of think I know what we're doing. So your balance is going to be worse.

Even if you could lift, like, you know, you could do a clean and jerk with couple hundred over here, you might be like, man, why can't I get just a handful of leaves out of the gutter? Because you've lost that functional strength because your brain is trying to how to balance, how to move, how to see, how to do all these things up here that you haven't done in a long time. A lot of times, I'll see you guys coming into, like, Like, oh man, you know, I do medicine ball slams and we do rotation stops and we do thread the needles and, you know, I I work on my back and thoracic mobility all the time, but I was wrestling with my kids, and I threw out my back, and now I can't move.

Oh my, great.

You methodically picked up maybe even a forty, maybe in a fifty pound medicine ball and methodically put it here.

Awesome. But then, yeah, your kid like this and you're doing this and he's maybe sixty pounds or whatever. And yeah, your people are thinking, like, I'm doing this work in the gym, but it's not actually translating into function movement functional strength that you can use because there are two different systems in your brain. Your brain's like, this is a medicine ball. I pick it up put it over here. And then playing with your kids is like a free for all over the place. So what we need to do is really help your brain go, oh, hey, what I do here?

Applies into this space too. I sort of saw this a lot as I was getting into sports, you know, I I ran into a lot of concussions. Concussion rehab became really, really important. And so what I learned the more that I got into that concussion and brain injury rehab is that being playful with people actually help them recover faster than our normal standard, like, personal training or strength and conditioning debt.

And so what I realized is, oh, do a do a march. Okay. Cool. Hey, hey, pick this up and put it here.

Okay. Cool. Like, we can do in the gym. Right? It's totally different if you're playing a game with your kid.

We're like, okay. I'm gonna pick this up, and I'm gonna throw it faster than you. Boom. And guess what?

Like, that's the same PT, but now your brain's like, oh, this is and engaging. And so it actually learned that. And so what I started doing was like merging this foundational performance training, like, get we need this skill.

And then pairing that with, like, some playful brain stimulating exercises and movement patterns and just the success that I was seeing in my clients just blew my mind because it happened so much faster and the results stuck down for longer than our typical, okay, do your shoulder exercises after your injury or whatever. So here's another this is one of my favorite ones. Here's another, fun one that I worked on. So I was working with this power lifter, and he was really inconsistent with his lifts in competition. And so he ended up coming to me with hip and lower back pain.

And his coach was really frustrated because there were times that he'd be like, man, like, you know, he PR this weekend, he did really well this weekend, and then all of a sudden this weekend, like, he couldn't even catch catch a lift. Like, what's going on? We worked through biomechanically some stuff that was going on, but then I watched him and I realized that all of his good lifts happened when his coach was off to his right. So he had literally trained his brain that his support network, his guidance network, like everything was on the right side. And we found out just like going through stuff that when he lost his lips, that was when his coach was on, like, the left side of the room. And we realized coming back into his training gym that he liked this platform specifically, and his coach would always walk down the middle.

So he literally trained his eyes to always be scanning this way for his coach and just having that different like, visual simulation of his coach on this side, created enough instability in his brain that he loses lifts.

Like, this stuff is wild. It's so fun though. And so we ended up doing was one we fixed the biomechanics and soft tissue stuff that was going on that was causing the pain. So then he was out of pain.

But then we also started training some of these vision, deficiencies that he had, and his list became more consistent. There's so many cool studies behind this. We showed just like activating different areas and looking at the very small details of movement can lead to huge overall positive results for the athletes that we work with. So some things that might be floating around in your head as you're trying to kinda get through all this is like, man, I'm a walk a athlete.

Like, cool. That would have been great in my twenties, but, like, who cares about doing an Olympic lift in my forties? Like, I can't do that. Can't walk up the stairs someday.

Right? I've had some people like, man, like, I'm not accountable enough to do this. Like, I I can't stick to anything these days. I get too much going on.

Or man, every time I try to do something, I get injured. Or, you know, I I, like, an ACL took me out and and I don't I just know if I wanna get back into it because I just might miss it so much, right? Or, man, I'm afraid of doing this weird brine stuff. In the gym, like, what's everybody gonna think?

Or I don't have time for this. You know how much time I have in life? Like, none. Right?

Or, man, you're afraid it's not gonna be worth the cost. Like, just not gonna get the results worth doing this. Let me know a couple little more secrets here.

A lot of the success depends on the expertise and how your body moves. You have to have somebody who knows how your body moves specifically. This is a great study. So what that means is if you're going to somebody and, you know, sometimes you see this chiropractor in the office, and sometimes you see chiropractor, or sometimes you get that massage therapist or that massage therapist, or you go to PT and sometimes you get you get that one, but then the next time you get the assistant and the other time you might get a different PT.

What we're finding is that we call this continuity continuity or expertise in your body is one of the most important factors in recovering from an injury. And those who had continuity saw the practitioners less. They ended up paying and they had better results. So you really want somebody who is an expert in your body.

So in my client walk in the door. I can already see before they even tell me what's going on. You look stiff and a hit today. How about the back?

How's this? Because we've gotten so used to the that as soon as I see them on camera or as soon as they walk into my office, I can already see the changes in their body that clues me into where we need to help them that day. Another thing is, like, you want a practical mix of both the latest, but also the traditional sports science. Like we have to weed out all that like the snake oil fad one of paltrow boob stuff, but also we don't want to miss.

I don't know really cool stuff that's going on. So, this article came out a couple of years ago because I I was working with this soccer team. What we found out was that we could literally step study the brains of soccer players. And what we found is those brains that were just, like, more active and creative and just kinda stimulated.

Those players actually performed better on the field than players we didn't see those types of results in. So then we can actually start looking at, like, predicting which athletes are gonna do really well or doing stuff like that and then going to the athletes that we're man, these rapport and doing some cool brain stuff with them to see if they perform better on the field.

So we want to merge with some of really cool stuff that's going out. So we can help you get faster, recover faster, and get out of pain and feel that great normal that you're looking for. One of the most important things for me is feedback and assessments.

So I teach all of my clients when they come in how to self assess and give them feedback as much as they possibly can. So for me, this is all about how do we teach you how to look at what is overstimulating versus understimulating? What's negative or positive for you? And then always giving feedback.

So what we find in some studies is that when you get that feedback, whether that self feedback, like, hey, I did this exercise, and it made me feel dizzy, or, hey, I did this exercise I feel amazing, or it's that feedback from me to you saying, oop, as you're as you're getting into that squad, your tempo is off. So as you're coming into that deadlift, your your pelvis is tilting too much this way. The amount of feedback that you get is critical to master learning to correct those things. So for me, giving you feedback and then you being able to determine own feedback allows you to see immediate value, immediate working, and immediate results in what we're doing.

So you have objective data on everything that we're doing. Are you intrigued yet? Because I think this stuff is so much fun. I hope you did too.

So to recap, we've covered how a lot of conventional fitness training and practitioners just aren't helping you keep or regain that athletic prime and greatness because you need a system that activates all of the performance areas of the brain, you need to properly address that over versus under stimulation for better energy, for better movement, for better athletic and you need something that's personalized to your specific brain, your body, and your lifestyle. So who wants to take things to the next level with me. Okay. So how do we get there?

The neuroperformance consultation.

So here's what you get.

You're gonna do a sixty minute consultation with me. We're gonna go through your health and injury history. We're gonna look at any past in current sports and exercise routines. I'm gonna look at physical limitation and get some testing there. We're gonna look at some questions and some doubts that you have in gonna look at how this specifically fits for you and problem solves what's going on in your lifestyle and how we can correct that.

Usually, those consultations are five hundred dollars. We're not charging you that today. So here's a question for you. What would it be worth to know what's holding you back? Is it time? Is it money?

What is it that could possibly be holding you back from knowing, oh, here's what you have to do. Here's how your brain and your body aren't matte. Here with zapping energy from your day. Here's how you can move better. Be more flexible, be stronger, access that coordination and go play as much as you want.
