#15-Natural Relief for Busy Minds: Brain Integration for ADHD, Anxiety & Dyslexia with Nancy Loedy
n this conversation, I speak with brain integration instructor Nancy Loedy about Brain Integration or Crossinology, a specialized technique designed to improve brain function using kinesiology and muscle testing. This method supports individuals dealing with ADHD, dyslexia, anxiety, and other learning challenges. Nancy shares her journey from initial skepticism to becoming a committed practitioner, and she outlines the barriers to the broader adoption of Brain Integration —particularly the need for well-trained professionals.
We explore how cognitive improvements can occur without altering personality, and how early intervention is key, especially for children with learning difficulties. Nancy also explains the structure of her 12-hour sessions, which address both emotional and physical well-being. The conversation includes a look at how pathogens may play a role in autism spectrum disorders and the potential for meaningful, lasting changes. She emphasizes the accessibility of this approach and encourages community involvement to expand its reach and impact.
