Episode 19 - Neuroplasticity: 3 Questions To Change Your Brain


Listen Later

Are you actually rewiring your brain—or just repeating the same patterns with more reps?

In this episode of Three Questions, I share the three questions I wish more people would ask before trying to retrain their brain. We’ll unpack what neuroplasticity really requires (hint: it’s not just doing the same thing over and over), why some days you’re better off reinforcing what you can do, and how your sensory system holds the key to unlocking meaningful change.

I break down:
 ✅ Why “just doing more reps” doesn’t guarantee neuroplasticity
 ✅ How to tell if you’re in a “go” state or a “flow” state (and why you need both)
 ✅ How sensory input, not sets and reps, might be the real driver of progress

Whether you're a movement professional, a neuro-nerd, or just someone trying to move through life with less pain and more agency, this episode will help you rethink how you measure progress so you can train your brain as intentionally as you train your body.
