Who developed the OPT ® Program
The OPT ® Program was developed by Dr. Andrianopoulos and is featured in her new book “Mind-Fitness Weight Loss Plan” (McGraw-Hill 2007).
What exactly is the OPT Program
The Optimal Performance Training Program or OPT ® program is a series of tools that when used daily helps the brain thrive. Most healthful diets fail, because of failure to comply, long term. The OPT ® helps you comply with a healthful diet.
How does it work
We took cutting-edge neuroscientific findings to build tools that help your brain thrive. The OPT Program helps the brain build stronger connections so that it runs more effectively. So by challenging the brain, much like we challenge our bodies in physical fitness training, we can help the brain carry out what it was designed to do, even better!
What tools does OPT utilize
The OPT ® is a list of simple techniques and tools you use daily. Some tools help shift the activity inside your brain so you are not stuck in a “rut”- with eating emotions and actions. Other tools are modeled after experiences that have been shown in human and animal studies to stimulate neurogenesis (formation of new brain cells) and stronger connections in as little as 2 weeks. These changes are correlated with improvements in verbal fluency and memory (REF).
Along with these brain boosting tools, we recommend eating brain-friendly foods from the BrainMed® diet. You will also be asked to set-aside personal quiet time to unwind and decompress. If you cannot bring yourself to exercise or decompress you will be given brain-based techniques that will help you get there!
