Firstly, if you have any interest in neurofeedback, you need to take a look at our free MP3 designed to 'tune' your brainwaves. To get it, click here.
Neurofeedback is a system and practice that is designed to optimize brainwave patterns and neuroplasticity through monitoring brainwaves and feeding that information back to the user through increasing the brightness of an image or the volume of an auditory stimulus as particular brainwaves rise in amplitude and reducing the intensity of those stimuli as other brainwaves decrease in amplitude.
The variety of neurofeedback training protocols may vary in Washington, DC, but the principal question for this article is focused upon which supplements are best to augment neurofeedback training.
First, we must review the supplements that are beneficial:
Water
Krill oil
Fish oil
Water is clearly important, because the brain that is well hydrated is a brain that responds well to sustained training in nearly any skill. Neurofeedback may be a challenging process, which requires the individual to engage in sustained executive attention. Dehydration may broadly impact all body systems and reduce the efficiency of blood filtration, lymphatic circulation, cognitive function, and attention to tasks. First and foremost, a client must be hydrated so that their body is capable of clearing toxins from the body and brain while also
ensuring that individuals are not focused upon disruptive sensations such as thirst.
Krill oil and Fish oil are critical for the brain, because these oils comprise the myelin sheath of the neuron's axon, which transmits action potentials. Neurofeedback in Washington, DC trains the brain to develop new
neural pathways and transmit signals through new frequency sets. Krill oil and fish oil coats the brain's neurons with valuable fatty acids, which ensure that nerve signal transmission occurs at maximum efficiency. Meanwhile, these supplements are critical, because they do not alter brain states significantly when compared with other chemicals such as caffeine, SSRIs, opioids, lithium, marijuana, and other psychoactive chemicals.

Next, we must review the chemicals that are not advised:
Caffeine
SSRIs
Opioids
Lithium
Marijuana
Other psychoactive chemicals.
The reason that psychoactive chemicals are not advised in conjunction with neurofeedback is that neurofeedback in Washington, DC is designed to shift and adjust brainwave patterns, but utilizing these chemicals during training may interfere with brain training. The reason these chemicals interfere with neurofeedback is that they produce their own unique brainwave patterns and shift how the brain operates, away from it's organic state. Therefore, individuals may not successfully train their core brain functions during neurofeedback, because the brain is already being shifted away from it's natural disposition.
Caffeine is one example of a chemical that increases beta brainwaves and decreases alpha and theta brainwaves. Neurofeedback training that occurs while caffeine is present within the body may be less effective, because the neurofeedback system will be unable to determine which brainwaves are naturally abnormal vs. chemically induced. Therefore, training while caffeine is present may interfere with reducing beta and increasing alpha when that protocol is required.
SSRIs and Lithium are less problematic and may be helpful for certain conditions, because SSRIs and Lithium may assist the client with blunting some of the more intense psychological states that could interfere with their ability to sit quietly and follow instructions rather than ruminating on intensely painful thoughts and feelings.
Conversely, the presence of SSRIs and Lithium may also prevent an accurate reading of baseline brainwave activity for neurofeedback training, because the original underlying brain states are not detectable and therefore less subject to precision neurofeedback training.
Opioids and marijuana may also interfere with neurofeedback training, because these chemicals strongly alter perceptions and the capacity to act upon information. Opiods may inhibit the individual's capacity to detect fine sensations such as the subtle pain associated with dysregulted brainwave states. Meanwhile, marijuana may interfere with neurofeedback training, because THC inhibits long-term potentiation, which is represents the core memory formation process. This, in turn, may inhibit skill acquisition, which is the primary objective of
neurofeedback training. Therefore, opioids and marijuana must be cleared from the client's system prior to engaging in neurofeedback training in Washington, DC.
