❄️⛄This season can hold many different experiences all at once. For some, it’s full of tradition, family, and celebration. For others, it can bring feelings of loss, distance, pressure, or simply exhaustion. And for many, it’s just another time of year that doesn’t look or feel like a holiday at all.
At Healthy Within, we want to acknowledge all of it. Whether you’re celebrating with loved ones, navigating the season quietly, showing up for others while carrying your own worries, or not celebrating Christmas at all, you matter. Your experience is valid, and you deserve gentleness, rest, and care.
Merry Christmas to those who celebrate, and Happy Holidays to those who don’t. However, this season finds you, we’re wishing you peace, warmth, and moments of kindness toward yourself and others.

Our friend of Healthy Within shares his experience using the Neuronic PBM (photobiomodulation) device and the results speak for themselves 🧠
PBM uses targeted red and near-infrared light to support brain health by increasing cellular energy (ATP), improving blood flow, and helping the nervous system shift into a more regulated, relaxed state.
Clients often report feeling clearer, calmer, and more grounded and as you can hear, he absolutely loved it.
This is one of our favorite non-invasive tools for supporting focus, mood, recovery, and overall brain performance.
If you’re curious about PBM and what it can do for your brain, we’d love to share more ! Contact us :
🎶Music isn’t just something we hear; it’s something the brain experiences.
Playing or listening to music activates multiple brain networks at once, supporting memory, focus, mood regulation, creativity, and stress reduction.
Research shows music can lower cortisol, influence dopamine release, synchronize brain waves, and enhance cognitive functioning. It’s one of the most accessible tools we have for supporting brain health at any age.
At Healthy Within, we look at how everyday experiences like music interact with the brain and nervous system, and how targeted approaches like neurofeedback can further optimize brain function.

🧠🤯Anxiety is deeply tied to patterns of heightened beta activity in the brain. When these patterns stay elevated, the body remains in a constant state of alert, making calm feel impossible. Neurofeedback helps retrain these patterns by teaching the brain to regulate arousal and return to balance.
Different areas of the brain contribute to different anxiety symptoms. The front of the brain may show worry and compulsive thoughts, while the right side may drive emotional reactivity, hyper vigilance, fear responses, and attachment insecurities. Deeper midline areas relate to panic and dissociation, and the back of the brain often contributes to physical tension and feeling disconnected.
At Healthy Within, we work directly with these patterns through individualized neurofeedback protocols to support long lasting anxiety relief.

Roblox has become one of the most influential digital environments children spend time in, yet many parents only see the surface level of bright colors and simple games. What often goes unnoticed is how immersive, social, and emotionally charged these online worlds can be for a developing brain.
Children don’t just “play” on Roblox; they socialize, copy behaviors from older players, learn social norms from strangers, and internalize how people treat them in real time. These experiences can shape self-esteem, emotional regulation, stress responses, and even how children interpret friendships and a sense of belonging.
One of the biggest concerns is that Roblox combines two things kids are highly sensitive to:
• fast-paced reward systems
• unpredictable social environments
This creates a level of stimulation that can be difficult for young brains to navigate without guidance. When children are exposed to older players, intense language, high conflict, or adult-themed spaces, it can blur boundaries they’re not yet developmentally ready to understand.
Parents don’t need to ban Roblox. What they need is awareness. Staying involved, checking in regularly, and understanding the digital spaces kids occupy can make a tremendous difference. When children feel supported and when parents stay informed, the online world becomes much safer and less overwhelming.
Healthy Within is committed to helping families understand how modern technology affects the developing brain. If you have questions about digital habits, emotional changes, or screen-related stress, our team is here to support you.
🧠Neurofeedback gives your brain the chance to do what it was designed to do—self-regulate. By showing the brain its own activity in real time, it learns to shift out of patterns linked to anxiety, attention issues, sleep problems, and chronic stress.
When the brain is stuck in survival mode, “just relax” isn’t possible. Neurofeedback retrains those stress driven pathways so the brain feels safe enough to focus, rest, and recover. This is why so many people notice changes that talk therapy alone couldn’t unlock.
If you’re curious whether neurofeedback could help you or your child, we’re here to answer any questions.
🧠📲If you want the full, science-backed talk on how screens are shaping the developing brain, Dr. Kakaiya’s complete presentation is now available on our YouTube channel.
She breaks down why today’s digital childhood is changing focus, resilience, creativity, and emotional development, and what families can do to rebuild a healthier relationship with technology.

Give your brain the gift of understanding. 🧠
For a limited time, we’re offering our Holiday wellness special, the perfect opportunity to finally learn how your brain truly works.
A brain map (QEEG) is a non-invasive scan that measures your brainwave activity and shows how different areas communicate. Why get one? Because it gives you a clear picture of what’s happening beneath the surface, where your brain may be overactive, underactive, or stressed.
Understanding these patterns can help explain why you may struggle with focus, sleep, anxiety, or mood, and give you a roadmap for improving brain function naturally.
Includes:
• Full Brain Mapping session
• Personalized Report of Findings with Dr. Divya Kakaiya
Start the new year with insight into your most powerful organ, your brain.

Kindness isn’t just good for the world, it’s good for your brain too 🧠💛
When you perform an act of kindness, your brain releases oxytocin, also known as the “love hormone.” This chemical helps strengthen social bonds, reduce stress, and even support heart health.
Kindness also boosts dopamine and serotonin, the same neurotransmitters that help regulate mood and create a sense of happiness and calm.
Practicing compassion regularly can even change brain activity, strengthening neural pathways related to empathy and emotional regulation. In other words, the more kind you are, the more your brain is wired for peace and connection.
✨ Small acts, big brain benefits.

🧠🏈Concussions are more common than many realize, especially in young athletes. According to HealthResearchFunding.org, concussion rates for children under age 19 who play tackle football have doubled over the last decade, most occurring during practices.
At Healthy Within, we use neurofeedback to help the brain heal after a concussion or traumatic brain injury (TBI). Neurofeedback retrains disrupted brainwave patterns, improving focus, cognition, energy, and emotional regulation.
The brain has an incredible ability to rewire itself. Neurofeedback helps it get there.

As a parent, it is difficult to watch your child struggle through everyday life with any type of brain condition. You always want what’s best for your child, but sometimes you don’t know what that is!
Our society has become highly skilled at identifying symptoms and making a drug to alleviate them. One in six Americans currently takes psychiatric medication, and the use of these drugs has risen by 65% in the last 15 years. With these statistics, it may seem logical to jump on the prescription bandwagon. However, when Dr. Divya Kakaiya noticed the early signs of ADHD in her son, she sought out a more integrative approach. As a psychologist, neuroscientist, and mom, she saw these staggering statistics related to medication usage and decided she was going to find a better solution - a solution backed by 40 years of research. So Dr. Kakaiya implemented the effective brain regulation of neurofeedback to her psychotherapy practice at Healthy Within.
Dr. Kakaiya established Healthy Within in 1985. In 2009, Healthy Within Brain Health Center began to focus on healing through the practice of “brain fitness” using neurofeedback. What sets Healthy Within apart is that it does not diagnose medical conditions nor use medications; Healthy Within offers a non-medical, noninvasive, drug-free neurofeedback program for adults and children. It offers effective and life-changing treatment options for children, teens, adults, seniors, and military men and women through neurofeedback sessions. Neurofeedback has been changing lives in hospitals, mental health treatment centers, rehabilitation centers, schools, and outpatient centers.
Dr. Kakaiya’s son improved through neurofeedback sessions, and his ability to remain on task, focused, and complete his homework promptly continues to hold up well. 15,000 other clinicians use neurofeedback worldwide with similar positive results. If the field of neurofeedback had even 20% of the ads that are carried by big pharmaceutical companies, more people would be choosing it without a second thought!
Thankfully, the world is beginning to open its eyes to the truth behind the over-prescription of psychiatric medications. The side effects of psychotropic medications are debilitating and severe. Meanwhile, neurofeedback has zero negative side effects. The neurofeedback market is growing enormously with help from those like Dr. Kakaiya who are passionate about helping others. Dr. Kakaiya has opened Healthy Within as a business opportunity for those in the field with the desire to change lives as well!
