What Changes You Might Actually Feel-And Why Those Changes Make Sense From A Nervous System Standpoint

I have been receiving Microcurrent Neurofeedback, at Gulf Coast Neurowellness, and my experience has been that it supports what so many of us are trying to achieve: better regulation-sleep, focus, stress response, and sensory overload.

Nervous Systems Require Regulation

A lot of modern life keeps the brain and body in a state of hyperarousal—meaning your system is running on  “high-alert” more often than it should. Read here how understanding the stress response from chronic activation of this survival mechanism impairs health from Harvard Health Publishing. Gulf Coast Neurowellness provides relief from insomnia!? Yes, they do! And I’m a walking testimony to it! You can  see all about it, here!

In research on insomnia, for example, cortical hyperarousal is one of the proposed drivers of poor sleep, and some neurofeedback protocols aim to reduce that over-activation.

Microcurrent neurofeedback is designed to be a non-invasive, passive approach (you’re not actively “training” during the session). The goal is to help the brain recognize its own patterns and move toward improved self-regulation over time. It’s different from talk therapy—and it’s not medication—but it can be a supportive part of an overall plan.

What I’ve Noticed Personally (And How It Connects)

1) Sleep: more restorative and easier “downshift”.

I’m sleeping better—and it’s not just “I’m tired so I slept.”

My body feels like it can settle more easily at night. From a physiology perspective, that lines up with the idea of lowering hyperarousal and improving the brain’s ability to shift into a calmer state when it’s time to rest. 

2) Focus: less mental noise, better task-follow-through.

I feel more focused and less scattered. The best way I can describe it is: fewer “open tabs” competing for attention. 

3) Stress Response: More Patience, Less Reactivity 

I’m more patient—meaning my nervous system doesn’t spike into irritation or overwhelm as quickly.

Clinically, that fits with the broader goal of helping the brain become more flexible in how it responds to stressors. Microcurrent neurofeedback (IASIS I-MCN) can help in improvements in symptoms like ADHD, anxiety and depression.

4) Sensory Overload: Less “Flooded” by sound and stimulation.

When the nervous system is overloaded, the brain can feel like it has less “filtering capacity.” For me, it’s been the difference between feeling instantly overstimulated and feeling like I can stay steady in normal day-to-day noise and movement.

Final Thoughts

Microcurrent neurofeedback is non-invasive with protocols that can be individualized, clinics commonly work with a wide range of people—kids, teens, adults, and older adults—based on goals like sleep, stress resilience, attention, regulation and more! See my previous blog post for more info on what IASIS MCN treats.

So many of you have related with being silently overwhelmed—functioning, but not thriving.

If you’ve been feeling like:

• you’re always “on”

• stress hits you harder than it should

• you’re overstimulated easily

• sleep isn’t restful

• your mind won’t slow down

…it might be worth exploring.

If you’re local, or don’t mind a drive, I truly recommend Gulf Coast Neurowellness. They have two amazing locations, one in Foley and one in Spanish Fort. Ashley is amazing and we love her and her staff!

Inside My PDRN Microneedling Treatment with Rejuran at Genesis Health Beauty Bar

I’m always intentional about the treatments I choose—especially when it comes to skin. I want results, but I also want science, safety, and a provider I trust. That’s exactly why I chose Genesis Health Beauty Bar for my microneedling treatment with salmon DNA—and I’m so glad I did.

From the moment I walked in, the space felt calm, clean, and professional. Kelsea took time to explain the treatment thoroughly, answer my questions, and make sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. That alone made the experience feel elevated and personalized, not rushed or transactional.

So what exactly is salmon DNA microneedling?

This treatment combines traditional microneedling—which creates tiny micro-channels in the skin to stimulate collagen—with polynucleotides derived from salmon DNA. These polynucleotides are known for their ability to support cellular repair, hydration, elasticity, and overall skin regeneration. In simple terms: it helps your skin heal better, faster, and stronger.

The microneedling itself felt like microdermabrasion, nothing more than a small amount of temporary pain, and the salmon DNA serum was applied immediately before and after to deeply penetrate the skin.

Post-treatment, my skin was a bit red—as expected—but not overly irritated. Over the next few days, I noticed my skin looked plumper, more hydrated, and noticeably smoother. What stood out most was the glow. Not a surface-level glow, but that healthy-from-within kind that makeup can’t replicate.

What I loved most about this experience was that it didn’t feel like a “quick fix.” It felt like an investment in long-term skin health. Genesis Health Beauty Bar offers treatments that support your skin’s natural processes, and that philosophy really resonated with me.

If you’re looking for a treatment that’s rooted in science, delivers real results, and is performed by a team who genuinely cares about your skin, I can’t recommend Genesis Health Beauty Bar enough. Salmon DNA microneedling has officially earned a spot in my skincare routine—and I’ll absolutely be back. Stay tuned for my next appointment in January!

Finding My Balance Again with Microcurrent Neurofeedback at Gulf Coast Neurowellness

If you’ve ever felt like stress or anxiety have taken over your life, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to stay stuck there. I know that firsthand, because for me, discovering Gulf Coast Neurowellness in Baldwin County, Alabama, completely changed everything.

A Gentle, Natural Approach to Healing

At Gulf Coast Neurowellness, the focus isn’t on masking symptoms—it’s about helping your brain restore its own natural balance. They specialize in Microcurrent Neurofeedback (MCN), a gentle, drug-free technology designed to help the brain “reset” itself.

MCN works by delivering an extremely tiny microcurrent to the scalp through sensors placed on the head. This current is so mild you don’t even feel it—but it communicates directly with the brain, encouraging it to reorganize and release stuck patterns that may be contributing to things like:

Anxiety & Depression

Insomnia

PTSD

Brain fog

Chronic stress

  • Headaches
  • ADHD & ADD

  • OCD

  • Concussions

  • Epilepsy

  • Parkinson’s

  • Autism

  • Fibromyalgia

  • Eating Disorders

  • Stroke

  • Lyme Disease

  • Traumatic Brain Injury

  • and more!!
  • In simple terms, it helps your brain “unstick” itself—allowing you to return to a calmer, clearer, and more balanced state of mind.

My Experience at Gulf Coast Neurowellness

When I first walked into Gulf Coast Neurowellness, I was struggling. My mind felt foggy, I couldn’t sleep well, and my nervous system always seemed to be in overdrive. I had tried supplements, somatic work, EMDR, CBT and even medication—but nothing truly helped me feel like me again.

After just a few sessions of microcurrent neurofeedback, I started to notice small shifts—better sleep, a lighter mood, and a sense of calm I hadn’t felt in years. Over time, those small shifts added up to big change. My anxiety lessened, my focus returned, and I finally felt like I could breathe again. The staff is incredible! They make you feel comfortable and explain everything.

Why Gulf Coast Neurowellness Stands Out

What makes Gulf Coast Neurowellness so special isn’t just the technology—it’s the care. The team takes time to listen, explain, and walk you through each step. The sessions are quick (usually 30 minutes or less), non-invasive, and relaxing. You simply sit back while your brain does the work.

They understand that healing isn’t one-size-fits-all, and they meet you exactly where you are. Whether you’re dealing with years of stress, recovering from trauma, or simply want to improve your mental clarity, they offer a space that feels safe, supportive, and full of hope.

Getting Your Life Back

Microcurrent neurofeedback didn’t just help me think more clearly—it helped me feel again. It gave me back my energy, my peace, and my ability to be present with the people I love. Best of all? My quality of life has improved dramatically and I’m finally starting to sleep again!

If you’ve been looking for a natural, science-backed way to restore your brain and body connection, I can’t recommend Gulf Coast Neurowellness enough. It’s more than therapy—it’s a reset for your nervous system and a path back to yourself.
