The Optimal Health and Performance Assessment is a mind and body
evaluation that identifies the origin of an individual's stress symptoms.
It involves exposing individuals to brief stressors such as the Stroop
test and monitoring how the body responds. What happens to the
muscles -- do they relax or tighten? Does heart rate increase or stay
the same rate? What happens in the brain--does the mind go blank or
get full of negative thoughts? During the stress tasks, Dr. Lagos
collects information from sensors on the body that measure brain
activity, muscle tension, and heart rate. After reviewing results of the
assessment, Dr. Lagos provides information about which symptoms in
the body are causing the stress and details individualized treatment
recommendations.

Heart Rate Variability (HRV)
Biofeedback is a technique for
training people of all ages from
children to older adults how to
more efficiently and effectively
respond to stress. This process
has been evidenced to improve
numerous health conditions
including: depression, anxiety,
panic attacks, asthma, substance
abuse, disordered eating, chronic
pain, injury rehabilitation, emotional
fainting, and anger. It has also been useful for helping
speakers, athletes, dancers, and corporate leaders to perform
more effectively under pressure.

Neurofeedback, which is also known
as electroencephalograph (EEG)
biofeedback or neurotherapy,
is a compelling example of the
body’s ability to self-regulate and
bring itself back into balance. This
process involves using sensors and
computer displays to monitor and
train brain activity. Neurofeedback
has been evidenced to improve
functions such as concentration,
short-term memory, speech, motor
skills, sleep, energy level, and emotional balance. It is an
alternative treatment for children and adults with ADD/ADHD.
