From Survival to Thriving

Our brain is the product of millions of years of evolution. It became highly skilled at keeping us alive in dangerous, resource-scarce environments by running automatic processes and survival instincts beneath our awareness.

But the modern world is nothing like the one our brain was designed for. The very mechanisms that once kept us safe now often sabotage us — fueling stress, procrastination, anxiety, low self-esteem, and even destructive behaviors. Most of it happens below the surface, which is why we keep repeating the same patterns without realizing it.

The good news is, we don’t have to stay trapped in this outdated playbook. Our brain also has more recent systems — built for meaning, purpose, joy, and growth — that allow us to live differently. Accessing them isn’t easy; it takes awareness, effort, and guidance. That’s where a brain coach comes in: to help you shift from survival mode into a more fulfilling, motivated, and intentional way of living.

The Neuroscience behind the program...

The Brain Coach program is built as a 12-week journey that progressively translates neuroscience into real-life transformation.

We start by introducing a behavioral model and the brain’s operating systems before diving into its anatomy, neurochemistry, and the science of neuroplasticity and neurogenesis—the processes that allow the brain to rewire and renew itself. From there, participants explore how enriched environments shape growth, how limiting beliefs and cognitive biases distort our thinking, and how unconscious patterns like compensations, obsessions, and ego projections drive behavior.

Each step blends scientific insight with practical application, giving participants not just knowledge of how the brain works, but concrete tools to shift it.

By the end of the program, they don’t just understand the brain — they’ve experienced how to coach it toward more clarity, resilience, and purpose.

"It has given me a whole new perspective on human behaviour. I found my passion here and this has been the gateway and path to new knowledge.

Gregory's explanations are crystal clear, easy to understand but specific enough to be professional. I am really grateful since it has opened a whole new world to my professional life."

- Alfredo Gastelum, Brain Academy Student

Science... but fun

We really walk the talk. The Brain Coach program isn’t some dry lecture series — it’s fun, engaging, and designed to keep your brain hooked in the best way possible.

We use the same principles we teach, so every session sparks curiosity, boosts motivation, and leaves you feeling excited for the next one.

Think of it as a journey where science meets play: you’ll learn a lot, laugh along the way, and always leave wanting more.

"Brain Academy was worth every penny! Gregory has created a rich learning environment that includes videos, live sessions, and a vibrant student community where you can ask questions and share insights.

I was particularly impressed with his ability to simplify complex information and present it in an entertaining way, making the learning experience truly enjoyable. The insights on neurogenesis, in particular, have been invaluable in enhancing my coaching sessions with clients.

Thank you, Gregory, for creating such an outstanding program!"

- Natalie Justice, Brain Academy Student

What's In The Program...

PART 1

The Biology of the Brain

(Sessions 1-4)

Your brain comes with its own operating systems. In these first modules, you’ll discover how your brain is built and why it drives your behaviour the way it does, including:

How the brain’s anatomy and operating systems shape thoughts, emotions, and habits
The role of key neurochemicals in motivation, stress, and connection
A practical framework to make sense of behavior—yours and others’.

You’ll walk away with a solid foundation in brain science, ready to apply it in real life.

PART 2

Stimulating Our Neurons

(Sessions 5-7)

Your brain never stops changing. In this module, you’ll learn how to unlock its full potential, including:

How neuroplasticity and neurogenesis allow you to rewire your brain and even grow new neurons
Why enriched environments boost learning, resilience, and creativity
Practical strategies to stimulate your brain for growth and renewal

You’ll walk away with tools to keep your brain sharp, adaptable, and thriving.

PART 3

Non-Conscious Self-Sabotage and Deception Mechanisms

(Sessions 8-12)

Much of what holds us back happens below the surface. In this module, you’ll uncover the hidden forces that sabotage progress, including:

How limiting beliefs, cognitive biases, and compensations distort your reality
Why obsessions, projections, and ego defenses keep you stuck in survival mode
Simple, science-based ways to spot these patterns and shift beyond them

You’ll walk away able to recognize—and coach yourself and others out of—the brain’s oldest tricks.

"Disappointed by the lack of practical application in my MSc Neurology program from a leading university, I was ecstatic to discover Brain Academy!

It's not about wading through intricate research papers, key insights are summarised and discussed, and the content is directly relevant to my work with clients.

Plus, it's really engaging! I laugh out loud and have those "aha!" moments when Gregory explains complex concepts.

Brain Academy is refreshingly unique, and I'm loving the learning journey. I can't wait to be part of this supportive community for years to come."

- Sophie Jenkins, Brain Academy Student
