Yesterday, we met with leaders at the Florida Department of Education about a mission we share:

➡ Strengthening the mental health and resilience of Florida’s students
➡ Protecting their futures by protecting their brains

The timing couldn’t be more critical.

Every two years, the DOE conducts the Florida Specific Youth Survey (FSYS) the state’s most comprehensive look at student well-being.

The most recent results (2023) are eye-opening and as we spoke, the 2025 update was already underway.

What Florida’s own data shows:

👉 79% of students spend 3+ hours/day on screens during school days.
👉 46% have felt sadness, worry, or hopelessness that stopped their normal activities.
👉 19% nearly 1 in 5 seriously considered self-harm. That’s heartbreaking.
👉 Only 21% get 8+ hours of sleep on school nights.
👉 42% ate breakfast 5+ days last week.
👉 77% have a trusted adult but mentorship & citizenship scores lag behind.

And here’s what’s even more alarming:

Outside of this survey, national studies show loneliness is at an all-time high even in our most digitally connected generation.

Change is needed. Action is a must.

Our work with schools is proving:

✅ Resilience can be built.
✅ Mental health can be protected.
✅ Every student can thrive when brain health is part of the school day.

If you know leaders in your local school district, we'd love introductions for a conversation.

Florida has the data. We have the tools. Now is the time to act!

09/10/2025

Our kids are under attack and it’s not just from social media.

Stress, anxiety, and emotional fatigue are showing up earlier than ever.

Attention spans are shrinking.

Resilience, the ability to adapt, recover, and thrive is eroding before adulthood even begins.

Last week, we stepped into a local school (K– High School) with one goal:

Find out what’s really happening in each student’s brain so we can strengthen it before it’s too late.

We ran a series of advanced, non-invasive tests to see how their resilient brain was performing. We looked at:

✅ Memory — can they store and recall words and images under pressure?
✅ Focus & Processing Speed — can they sustain attention and think fast?
✅ Cognitive Flexibility — can they adapt when the rules change?
✅ Motor Control — is their brain-body connection slowing them down?
✅ Emotional Acuity — can they read emotions and respond appropriately?

These tests gave us a fingerprint of each student’s strengths and hidden challenges.

From there, we can create custom exercises to build focus, emotional regulation, and mental stamina, no matter if the student is struggling, thriving, or somewhere in between.

Because here’s the truth: When we build stronger, more resilient kids…

We’re not just changing report cards.

We’re changing communities, homes, schools, and the future workforce.

This is how we turn the tide on the youth mental health crisis.

And it all starts with checking in to see how they’re really doing and then giving them the exact tools they need to grow their resilience, sharpen their focus, and strengthen their emotional health, so that each child can live a stronger, healthier, more confident tomorrow, the way God intended 🙏

“Better Meals, Fewer Pills: Making Our Children Healthy Again.”

That’s the title of today’s U.S. House Oversight Subcommittee hearing at 2 p.m. and it’s exactly the conversation we’ve been having at Genesis.

America’s children are being over-prescribed medications at alarming rates, often before other solutions are tried.

Diet, lifestyle, brain health, and resilience are too often an afterthought.

At our recent board meeting for Not One Left Alone, Dr. Bhekumusa Msibi, a board certified pediatrician at Genesis with 30 years’ experience, shared why he’s fighting alongside us:

“I want to find a way to treat kids without having to do so much drugs. We’ve never tested these drugs to see what they do to the developing brain—and we don’t know their long-term effects. I’ve lived long enough to see medicines we once thought were safe for mothers and children later cause serious developmental problems. We must do better.”

That’s why we’re already in our first school—through Genesis Brain Institute, in partnership with our nonprofit Not One Left Alone (NOLA), to identify brain health challenges early, strengthen mental resilience, and give kids the tools they need before medication becomes the only option.

We’re proving that with the right exercises and therapies, brain health can become part of a child’s daily routine, just like gym class.

Imagine students walking from one class to another and stopping by the “brain health lab” for activities that train focus, regulate emotions, and build resilience.

Our vision?

To make this a reality in schools across Florida and beyond, so that no child is left to struggle alone when real help is within reach.

Pupillometry testing doesn’t measure how your eyes move, it measures how your pupils react.

With millisecond precision, we can capture:

- Your baseline pupil size and what it reveals about your stress/recovery state
- How quickly your pupils constrict when exposed to light
- How responsive they are to sudden environmental changes
- How smoothly they return to baseline — and whether both eyes respond in sync

Why is that important?

Because changes in these patterns can be early signs of concussion after effects, traumatic brain injury (TBI), neurological disorders, migraines, chronic fatigue, and more.

These shifts often appear before symptoms are obvious, making pupillometry a powerful early warning tool.

When combined with VNG Testing, Balance Testing, and qEEG Brain Mapping inside our Quant360 Functional Analysis, we see how your entire brain and body are communicating in real time.

That means we can match results to targeted, non-invasive therapies things like:

- Targeted vibration therapy and VR Therapy to improve nerve signaling
- Sensory and movement-based exercises to retrain brain–body coordination

Right now, we’re in the testing phase at our first school here in Pasco County to help every student, whether they’re struggling, excelling, or somewhere in between, build a stronger, more resilient brain, unlock their fullest potential, and protect their mental health for the future.

This is how “mystery symptoms” start making sense.

And this is how you move forward with confidence. 🙏

You’re at work, sitting in a meeting, and you can’t figure out why you’re so drained by the afternoon.

It’s not the workload, it's the subtle way your body has been working all day to keep you steady without you even noticing.

Or maybe it’s your child at school.

They come home fidgety, exhausted, or struggling to focus.

The teacher says they “can’t sit still,” but the truth might be that their brain is working overtime just to keep their body in position.

One of the most overlooked players in your brain–body performance is proprioception — your body’s built-in GPS.

It’s the constant stream of information from your muscles, joints, and skin to your brain, telling it exactly where you are in space.

When proprioception is sharp, you move and sit with confidence.

When it’s not, your brain compensates by using energy meant for thinking, concentrating, or reacting… and that extra load can show up as fatigue, brain fog, or slower performance.

Balance Testing measures proprioception alongside your vision and vestibular systems with scientific precision.

We can see:
✅ How well your brain integrates signals from your body, eyes, and inner ear
✅ If one side of your body is compensating for the other
✅ How quickly you recover from small disturbances in position

Why is this important for work and school?

Because deficits in proprioception can:

✅ Sap energy and focus during the workday
✅ Affect posture and comfort when sitting for long periods
✅ Reduce performance in presentations, sports, and active tasks
✅ Make it harder to concentrate in classrooms or busy environments

When balance testing is combined with VNG, Pupillometry, and qEEG Brain Mapping inside our Quant360 Functional Analysis, we can see how the entire brain and body are communicating — across multiple systems, in real time.

From there, we can recommend simple, non-invasive therapies to strengthen proprioception and improve performance — whether that’s targeted stability drills, sensory integration exercises, or movement-based brain training.

The result?

More energy, sharper focus, and better performance — in the boardroom, the classroom, and beyond.

Have you ever been in the middle of a meeting, and suddenly you lose your train of thought.

Or maybe you’re an athlete, and your reaction time isn’t quite what it used to be.

Maybe your child comes home from school saying they can’t keep up with reading, even though the eye doctor says their vision is “perfect.”

Sometimes, it’s not your vision at all, it's how your brain is controlling your eyes.

Maybe your vision perfect!

But your eyes are a direct window into your brain’s performance.

Most people think eye exams are just about vision like reading letters on a chart or checking for glasses. But your eyes do far more than help you see.

Every tiny movement your eyes make is controlled by networks in your brain, brainstem, cranial nerves, and balance system.

When those networks aren’t communicating well, it shows up in how your eyes move, even if your vision is “perfect.”

Video Nystagmography (VNG) testing allows us to record and measure these movements in ways standard exams can’t.

It’s not about “pass” or “fail.” It’s about mapping:

How steadily your eyes lock onto a target

How smoothly they follow moving objects

How they respond to motion in your surroundings

How well they stay on target when your head moves

Why is that important?

Because subtle changes here can point to concussion effects, vestibular dysfunction, neurological disorders, reading and focus challenges, and even reaction-time limitations in sports.

On its own, this is valuable information.

But when VNG results are combined with Pupillometry, Balance Testing, and qEEG Brain Mapping inside our Quant360 Functional Analysis, the picture becomes much clearer.

You’re not just looking at isolated data points — you’re seeing how your brain and body communicate in real time, across multiple systems.

That’s when patterns emerge. That’s when the “mystery symptoms” start making sense. That's when we can improve and begin to optimize!

The Most Important Medical Test You or Your Child Will Never Ask For

You can’t see it happen.

You might not even know it happened at all.

One awkward fall.

A header in soccer. A routine tackle at practice.

You (or your child) stand up. Shake it off. Keep going.

But in the days that follow, something feels… different.

Moodier. Slower. Forgetting things. Just… not themselves.

And here’s the hard truth:

If you don’t know what the brain looked like before that hit, you may never know what changed.

That’s where a brain baseline comes in — a simple, painless snapshot of how the brain is working when it’s healthy.

Why a Baseline Matters:

A brain baseline uses a tool like a qEEG (quantitative electroencephalogram) to measure how the brain is functioning — not just how it looks.

MRI/CT scans show structure.

qEEG shows the electrical activity that controls mood, focus, memory, sleep, and reaction time.

It’s like having a GPS for your brain. If something gets knocked off course, you can see exactly where and how to get back.

Here's what It reveals:

During a qEEG, we look at brainwave patterns (Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta, Gamma) and how they’re working together.

Too much Theta → trouble focusing or remembering.
Elevated Beta → linked with anxiety or overthinking.
Low Alpha → difficulty staying calm or centered.

We also compare your brain activity to what’s typical for your age. That’s the Z-score — showing whether activity is in a healthy range (green) or outside it (red/dark blue).

Why This Matters After a Hit:

Concussion symptoms can be subtle, delayed, or confused with stress, hormones, or life changes.

With a baseline, we can:

Spot functional changes that CT/MRI might miss.
Confirm recovery before returning to sports or school.
Detect hidden damage from repetitive hits — even without a diagnosed concussion.
Guide targeted therapy based on your brain’s needs, not averages.

The Big Picture:

Baseline testing isn’t about scaring people or overreacting.
It’s about having a clear “before” picture so that if the “after” ever comes, you’re not left guessing.

Because once symptoms appear, the window to know what’s truly changed may already be closing.

And here’s the bonus: it’s not only about injury recovery — a brain baseline can also reveal ways to sharpen focus, boost performance, be less anxious and become the very best version of you.

Could you keep up with this?

In this short video, you’ll see one of the tests we’re giving to 350 students this week in Pasco County’s first school to partner with Genesis Brain Institute.

It looks simple — match the top shape (or color) to one of the two on the bottom — but there’s a twist:

👉 Sometimes you match by color
👉 Sometimes you match by shape

The rules change without warning every couple of seconds

This is called the Shifting Attention Test and it’s a powerful way to measure executive function skills like:

✅ Mental flexibility
✅ Rapid decision-making
✅ Reaction time under pressure

Why does this matter for students?

Because the ability to adapt quickly to changing rules and information is critical for learning, test-taking, and problem-solving in everyday life.

Struggles here can show up as trouble following directions, switching between tasks, or staying focused when things change unexpectedly.

This is just one of the many tests each student is taking and they’re loving the challenge over a 30-minute time.

The goal is to provide parents and students with a full report that can help us understand how they learn best, uncover any areas for improvement, and help with optimization.

Our big goal: Improve mental health, learning abilities, and overall academic performance here in Pasco — and throughout Florida and beyond.

🎯 Watch the video. Try it yourself.

Did you keep up?

Most eye exams only look at the eyes and miss what a VOG can tell you.

VOG tracks tiny eye movements that can help explain why a child struggles to read, why you lose focus in meetings, or why balance and memory feel “off”.

With VOG, we can see if your eyes:

✅Stay steady when you’re trying to focus
✅Jump smoothly from word to word while reading
✅Keep a moving object in clear view (whether it’s a baseball, a car, or a face across the room)
✅Stay locked on target even when your head moves

When these reflexes break down, life gets harder: reading slows down, distractions win, dizziness lingers, and memory or attention slip.

Glasses alone won’t solve that — because the issue isn’t just your eyes, it’s your brain.

At Genesis Brain Institute, VOG is one piece of our Quant360 Functional Analysis — a full brain-body evaluation proven across 20,000+ cases.

It doesn’t just give you a score; it shows us what’s really happening and, most importantly, what can be done to help you recover, focus, and perform at your best.

Brain and Health: A Test That Changes Everything

“I’m not waiting until it’s too late.”

That’s what Sophia Hudy, our new marketers mom told us when she booked her GBI Quant360 Functional Analysis.

She has a bit of ADHD and Dementia runs in her family.

Roberta knows brain changes often start years before the first symptom appears.

Most people wait. She didn’t.

The Quant360 is a comprehensive, science-backed evaluation proven across 20,000+ brains to reveal what’s really happening — and the path forward.

Why early action matters:

✅ Dementia, ADHD, and brain injuries can silently change brain function long before symptoms worsen.
✅ Prevention isn’t about fear — it’s about freedom.
✅ The earlier you act, the more options you have.

At Genesis Brain Institute, we believe when you understand your brain, you can change your future.

Because protecting your brain is protecting everything.

Thanks Will Burger for interviewing Roberta 🙏

Do you say or hear people say “I’m anxious” or “I have anxiety”?

What if it’s not a personality trait… but your nervous system misfiring and it can be retrained?

When your brain struggles to process sensory information like sound, balance, or visual input, it can trigger feelings we label as anxiety.

It’s not weakness. It’s not “all in your head.” It’s a functional issue in the body’s most powerful pharmacy, your brain.

At Genesis Brain Institute, our GBI Quant360 Functional Analysis looks at:

✅ Balance and sensory integration
✅ Eye movement and pupil response
✅ Cognitive performance mapping
✅ qEEG Brain Mapping …and more

Once we know where the misfires are, we retrain them with noninvasive, drug-free therapies like Neurofeedback, Biofeedback, HBOT, Alpha-Stim, and training.

When the nervous system works better, anxiety stops running the show and you think clearer, sleep deeper, and feel like yourself again.
