10 Common Questions About NEUROFIT Answered:

1. What is NEUROFIT’s approach to mental health and well-being?

At NEUROFIT, we use an embodied approach to wellness, incorporating the core components of nervous system regulation and the latest neuroscience research backed by leading universities.

2. What is the science behind NEUROFIT’s embodiment approach?

80% of the nervous system runs afferently meaning, nerve cells move from the body up to the brain. This leaves only 20% of nerve cells running from the brain down to the body. NEUROFIT’s embodied approach speaks to this 80% of the nervous system which is why it is so effective compared to the more traditional mindset work.

3. What is Nervous System Fitness?

Nervous System Fitness™ is based on applied neuroscience and Dr. Stephen Porges’ Polyvagal Theory first introduced in 1994 - the theory that our nervous system potentiates and limits our range of behavior, and significantly influences the way we experience the world around us.

Nervous System Fitness measures:

• the overall flexibility, balance and resilience of the nervous system; and

• the ability of the nervous system to adapt to changes in the environment and to respond to demands placed upon it.

4. How does chronic stress imbalance the nervous system?

Chronic stress impacts the body on a physiological level. When stress occurs, the nervous system moves into the sympathetic ‘fight or flight’ response, shifting the body into a state of high alert. In the short term, this response is beneficial to help deal with a stressful situation, but if we do not release the effects of stress, our body learns to stay in this state of high alert, which leads to nervous system dysregulation.

5. How do somatic exercises balance the nervous system?

Somatic exercises support the mind-body connection, using tools such as mindful movement and breathwork to shift the nervous system from the sympathetic (fight or flight) state to the parasympathetic (rest and digest) state. They are designed to cue a sense of safety, calm, and relaxation in the body.

6. How long does it take to balance the nervous system?

You’ll experience immediate stress relief after completing a BALANCE session. 95% of members report real-time stress relief within 5 minutes of NEUROFIT exercises. Beyond this, the recommended embodiment routine takes about 30 minutes each day and includes 10 minutes of social play, exercise, and stillness.

7. Why the 3 month membership plan?

Our research and data has shown that creating long-lasting change in the nervous system takes about 6 weeks. To optimize results, we want users to commit to these changes and be able to complete the program twice in one membership cycle. After that, you move into maintenance mode – where the focus moves from reducing stress to optimizing performance.

8. How does NEUROFIT’s HRV technology work?

To measure HRV, the NEUROFIT App reads changes in finger color via your phone’s camera to detect naturally occurring changes in heartbeat rhythm. This clinically validated technique is known as “photoplethysmography,” and achieves a real-world accuracy of 96% when used in appropriate conditions (eg, lighting, exposure, and finger pressure) that the app walks you through.

9. The app design seems minimalist and simple, why?

This is intentional. The nervous system is balanced through action, not accumulating knowledge. Two common roadblocks when resolving nervous system dysregulation are overthinking and the dopamine release that comes from consuming excess amounts of information.

10. Is NEUROFIT just an app service?

Not at all! We are committed to revolutionizing the wellness industry through a variety of tools that can be accessible to anyone at any time during their journey to greater health and well-being. We recommend starting with the app subscription and then taking things a step further with NEUROFIT Classes or by becoming a NEUROFIT Certified Coach.

11. What are NEUROFIT Classes and who are they for?

NEUROFIT Classes are a new kind of workout for your mind and body, designed to help you release stress, feel better in your body, and perform at your best. These guided somatic classes are perfect for anyone who is looking to engage the social nervous system and drop deeper into their embodiment practice.
