Create New Habits That Promote a Growth Mindset
Creating new habits doesn’t have to be difficult. We meet you where you are today and, through the science of behavior design, we help you focus on making your personalized behavior easier to do, thereby creating lifelong habits. When you adopt a growth mindset, you will learn, improve and build better habits that last a lifetime.
“Goals are harmful unless they guide you to make specific behaviors easier to do. Don’t focus your motivation on doing Behavior X. Instead, focus on making Behavior X easier to do.” – BJ Fogg, Tiny Habits
Neuroplasticity
Increasing your brain’s neuroplasticity is possible at any age. Your brain is malleable, like a muscle, and is able to continuously grow cells and make new neuro connections.
Turns out…
You CAN teach an old dog new tricks.
What can your FUTURE look like?
guided by science
We use the most advanced, non-invasive cognitive testing and neuroscience technology, 19-Channel EEG recordings, to produce a brain map of your brain’s activity. Your brain map and cognitive testing will guide the development of your personalized LifeWorks Brain Performance program, which is intended to optimize your reasoning; visual, verbal and memory processing; and, executive function.
Your brain map compares your brain waves to a normative data base, which guides us to optimize your brain’s performance.
Brain mapping looks from the outside in and gives a clear picture of your brain’s structure.

What is brain training?
At LifeWorks Brain Performance, we use brain mapping to determine how your brain is working. Brain mapping identifies the brain strengths upon which you can build and identifies the areas that could benefit from a tune-up. Think of ‘fitness’ for the brain. We are able to see where your brain is strong and in-balance and where your brain needs more flexibility, strength, and endurance.
By reading your brain waves, we develop an individualized brain training protocol to improve the areas of your brain that might be limiting your full potential. We use neurofeedback (positive feedback for the brain), biofeedback (feedback for breathing, heart rate, ability to relax, skin or body temperature) and cognitive training techniques to improve brain function. By providing the positive feedback in real-time, your brain quickly learns and adjusts its performance.
How does brain training work? When the brain does something good (performs in an optimal zone) it receives a positive reward. This positive reward is remembered just as a dog would remember he gets a treat if he sits and stays. With real-time positive reinforcements your brain says, hey, I like that and want to do it again.
Neurons that Fire Together…Wire Together
BCIA Certification – Our LifeWorks Brain Performance team is certified by the BCIA (Biofeedback Certification International Alliance). The BCIA is recognized by the Association of Applied Psychotherapy and Biofeedback and the International Society for Neurofeedback and Research.
Science says…
Every 65 seconds someone in the United States develops Alzheimer’s Disease.
At any age you can improve your brain’s performance, sharpness and resiliency. Proactive measures taken over time will help you prevent or delay cognitive decline caused by dementia and/or Alzheimer’s Disease.
Spending time in nature improves mental and physical well-being.
Neuroplasticity increases in just 30 minutes of moderate physical activity or 15 minutes of more intense physical exercise.
Meditation has been linked to increased gray matter in the brain and has been shown to improve memory and lower stress.
The brain is the organ that is most easily damaged as a result of poor diet. Eating healthy and nourishing food helps protect the brain.
Sleep resets brain connections crucial for memory and learning.

What OUR Guests are Saying
Lifeworks Brain Performance program was an incredible experience. I was trying to find a program that answered questions regarding some issues with my brain health and also acquiring a baseline for myself. Through the many great aspects of their program, especially the brain mapping, I found those answers and also some solutions to help fix them. Programs like stretching, yoga, breathing, brain training, nutrition and outdoor activities including hiking, fishing, and exploring all enriched our bodies and minds while fulfilling a genuine Montana experience. The culinary part of the trip was absolutely phenomenal every step of the way and you definitely won’t go hungry. I am thankful for finding a program and staff that actually wants to help us get better and can’t wait to see how LifeWorks improves, expands, and makes changes for the better for those that are willing to try.
— David Baas, Super Bowl XLVI Champion
LifeWorks gives me hope and optimism. I would not hesitate to recommend the program to others.
The positive, life-changing results will greatly benefit our NFL players and former players.
Overall, my visit to LifeWorks was incredible. I learned so much about neurological wellness and what I can do to keep my brain healthy over the long term. The LifeWorks lodge is set on 300 acres of beautiful rolling hills which offer breathtaking views of the surrounding mountain ranges. The meals are delectable and the service top notch. I’m doing something proactive to increase my brain’s performance which will have long-term affects on healthy aging.
LifeWorks: the nature setting, the food, the education about maintaining a healthy brain, and mostly the kind, knowledgable and dedicated team.
