Hello, and welcome!

You came to the right place.

Over the years I was talking to many busy business owners and professionals just like you, and I heard them say again and again:

“I think I am doing everything right! So why am I not happy? What’s going on? Am I not trying hard enough?”

And here is what I discovered:

Most professionals and businessowners, especially if they edge past 30, are very health-conscious and want to do all they can to stay healthy and work to provide for themselves and their family and loved ones, but they almost always forget about the one organ that rules everything in our lives and makes all our decisions.

THE BRAIN!!

The overall functioning of your brain determines the quality of your decisions and these in turn determine your success in life and work.

Are you aware that every moment, by everything you do, you are changing your brain – and changing your life – for better or worse...?

Neuroplasticity does not mean some abstract, complicated, or weird process, but it means that your brain adapts to all you do and changes itself constantly.

The good news is: You are in control of your brain and your life.

If you eat a donut, your brain changes. If you choose a salad, your brain changes again.

Your choices in all areas determine the trajectory of your life – for better or worse. 

Why is my life out of balance? Why doesn’t my life work for me?”

Here is what I see happening:

You may be exercising, eating reasonably well, and even taking some supplements because you heard that it would help you to focus better, or you may be doing yoga and meditate to manage stress and work on your mindset - in an effort to help your overall health and wellness.

And these are all valuable. So why is this often not enough in the long term?

And here is what I found is the root cause:

There is no system to it!

I discovered that success in life is a consequence of focusing on improving Brain Health in all 5 Dimensions in a systematic manner.

And here is what that means:

Only if we address and solve issues in all 5 dimensions of Brain Health – and really, life as a whole, can we be successful – whatever success may mean to us.

We need to strategically assess all 5 Dimensions, then address all issues in each of those.

Not just try this approach, try that – whatever we see on google, what’s “in” in our circle, what our busy eye spots in a magazine or what a friend or colleague tells us “will work”.

What are the 5 dimensions of health?

The 5 Dimensions of Health are:

Here is what research over the last 30 years has clearly confirmed:

People who focus on truly holistic brain health in all these 5 dimensions, who have a clear strategy and plan and take daily targeted action, are more successful at work, are laser-focused in their business, feel happier, have better relationships, manage their money better, are able to better react to changes and adapt to life’s inevitable stressors.

That’s why I am focusing for myself – and also my clients – on teaching and optimizing Brain Health in all 5 Dimensions – Physical, Spiritual, Mental, Social and Financial – so you and others are able to make better decisions and as a consequence can enjoy the fruits of a brain-healthy lifestyle, are overall healthier, happier and avoid the bad decisions and costly mistakes that may lead to financial ruin, relationship disaster and  contribute to a higher risk for diseases like diabetes, chronic pain, depression, heart attack, stroke and even cancer and Alzheimer’s dementia.

You may wonder who I am. I am Dr. Christine Sauer, founder of DocChristine.com and the Power Up Your Brain System.

We are told by mainstream media and doctors that we need to eat better, lose weight, and exercise and reduce stress to prevent illness. Millions are spent on weight loss, diet, and exercise programs every year.

But we also know that these programs don’t work at all for most people who try them, and they don’t work in the long term for over 90% of us.

That’s why I studied and continue to research strategies on how to change unhelpful habits, how to live longer and better and avoid the common downfalls of aging as much as possible.

And I discovered that everything we are, and everything we do, starts with one thing:  A better brain. Using the principles of neuroplasticity for us, and not against us.

A Better Brain = A Better Life

 I feel very privileged to be able to call him my mentor and teacher and one of my role models.

Let me tell you a bit about my own journey:

I am smiling, but I wasn’t happy. I was scrambling in life, sad, stressed, dreaming of a better life…, like many of us professionals and businessowners do.

Just “trying to make it work better”, working as hard as I could, but hitting an invisible ceiling…

At the time, even as a physician, I couldn’t help myself. I tried so many different things to change how I felt.

And I know from talking with other professionals and business owners, that they also tried many of the same things:

>>  Change their mindset – but that only had limited results – because positive thinking alone doesn’t work. You can’t force optimism. We need to be realistic. We need to address the deeper issues, the root causes.

>>  Trying harder and work even more hours.  Working hard has led you to financial success, but it seems you hit a ceiling, can’t reach the next level and you just struggle along.

And maybe working that much has cost you your personal health, good relationships and of too much of your precious life time.

You are probably worrying about your future, are dreaming of a better life, while staying "just" comfortable – maybe already feeling stressed out, burnt out, stuck, depressed, trapped, hopeless, secretly or openly drinking, eating or smoking too much.

You are on a downhill spiral, on a slippery slope leading to a mental breakdown, chronic pain, loss of sex drive, and ultimately even to a stroke, heart attack, diabetes, cancer or dementia.

You may constantly ask yourself questions like: “who am I?” "do I matter?", "does my life matter?“ “What will stay behind when I am gone?” “Will I have made a positive difference in this world?”

I get it. I asked myself the same questions.

So here are the results I got for myself by working my own system:

These are the rewards that keep me going and motivated to stay my course and to help others like you to achieve similar or even better results.

Today, I want to encourage you to make your best brain and your best life happen for you and your loved ones. And believe me, it is within Your Power to do so!

Here is what a former client said about me.

And now you may be wondering…

This sounds great and all…
but does it work for other professionals and business owners?

Will it work for me and my family?

It will. But again, a cautionary note: Only if you go through all the steps that I will teach you here, and only if you take the steps in the right order - will you see similar results.

So here is another one of my clients, Michael.

With that in mind…

Let me introduce you to the system that is helping our clients get those kinds of results.

We call it: Power up Your Brain, because with a better brain you will have a better life!

It’s about..

How to Live Longer and Feel Better, be more Focused and Happier, Work Smarter & Gain More Influence -  by Utilizing Cutting-Edge Neuroscience and Creating Your Best Brain Ever!

And I will teach you today the basic structure of this system, so you have a complete framework for optimizing your brain.

Here Is How This System Works:

We harness the power of cutting-edge neuroscience and age-old wisdom to optimize your brain and supercharge your life in all 5 Dimensions with our proven 3-step approach. These are 3 independent phases that need to be used in sequence and in all 5 dimensions to make good decisions for every unique individual. 

The AIM Process.

Aim is an Acronym. It stands for

A- Assess. This is Phase 1:  we need to analyze and assess in depth what has been going on so far, what did and didn’t work and make a strategic plan to fix it

I – Intervene. This is Phase 2. Here we need to implement the necessary changes in all 5 Dimensions according to your individual brain type, experience, history, assessment results and goals,

 M- Maintain. Phase 3 is about how to maintain your success and grow further, re-assess and re-adjust as required

You may have noticed that most doctors are trying to apply a process like this. But mostly, this fails. And here is why:

They often are specialists in one small area, which is great if you need difficult surgery or have a very rare and sudden issue.

But let’s look at a common issue: Type 2-Diabetes. What’s the current approach to that?

 You or your doctor measures your blood sugar or AIC. It comes back abnormal. A diagnosis is made. A label is given. Maybe bloodwork is done – with the main purpose to assess which of the many, more or less expensive medicines are indicated.

You get pills and/or needles. You may even get told to see a dietitian and exercise more to lose weight.

Sounds great. But how does this work?  Statistics don’t lie: Most overweight diabetics fail to lose enough weight to make a real difference. Most do take the recommended medications and see a nutritionist, make a few changes, start some exercise. Over time, a majority of these diabetics still continue to gain weight, so doctors add medications and later on they deal with the complications that will show up.

People do live longer, on average, but I dare to argue that often we don’t really live better.

So let me explain what this means when it comes to optimizing your brain power in 5 dimensions. In my opinion, this is a different path, a better approach:

The Power Up Your Brain System:

Listen what Cheryl-Ann, another client, said about the AIM process, I used to call it Health Strategy Blueprint a while back :

Phase 1: Assess and Analyze - Step 1A:

Here we analyze all 5 dimensions of brain health to answer questions like:

We need to look at all 5 dimensions of brain health, since all 5 dimensions influence each other in a complex pattern that varies from individual to individual.

While we are going through this process, I invite you to ask yourself if you ever have evaluated all these factors?

If not, maybe now is the time to start.

Here is what we do in detail:

Physical dimension:

Here is what needs to be looked at in the physical dimension:

Nutrition – What diet are you currently eating? What foods do you prefer  Are there Food Allergies, Intolerances or Sensitivities?

How do you experience eating/food as it relates to your brain function/mood/focus?

Any stomach issues, bowel issues, digestive issues? 

Are you exercising? What kind, how much? How intense? Prior injuries? How do you experience exercise?

What about your Health History: We often do not realize how different body systems influence brain function, mood and thought patterns. We need to ask about things like traumatic brain injuries - concussions, accidents, injuries, illnesses, medications, supplements, Infectious diseases and so much more.

Assess prior lab tests, imaging and other medical tests, naturopathic tests, psychological tests and other tests and look at them from an optimal health standpoint, not just what is normal – if you work with us, we encourage you to submit a scan or image of the results if available.

We ask about prior diagnoses given (we call them labels) , doctors and other practitioners seen and what they did or didn’t do

And we ask about other aspects like genetics, exposure to toxins, sleep, hormones, allergies, and sexual function.

Mental Dimension:

We ask about things like

These all influence brain function – As Dr. Amen always emphasizes, mental health is really brain health!

Spiritual Dimension:

Among others, we ask you – or help you to evaluate –

Social Dimension:

Financial Dimension:

This results in your strategic and practical individualized action plan to go forward.

We call it your Brain-Power Blueprint, because like a good architectural blueprint leads to a great building, the Brain-Power Blueprint leads to your optimized and powerful brain.

Only then is it time to proceed to the next step.

And this is the step most people – and even doctors start with.

But without a prior in-depth assessment like I just talked about the - action often goes in the wrong direction.

You probably heard this quote attributed to the ancient Chinese philosopher Lao-Tsu.
