How the Five Brainwaves Affect Your Health and Your Life

Your brain is constantly sending signals—creating waves of energy that shape how you feel, think, sleep, and heal. At MyNOW Wellness, we use Micro Current Neurofeedback and a wide range of other holistic services to help restore those brainwave patterns. This can be especially helpful for clients navigating challenges like addiction recovery, chronic stress, and aging-related cognitive shifts.

Let’s break down the core brainwave types and how each one plays a role in your healing and wellness journey.

Delta (0.5–4 Hz)

Delta is the deepest brainwave state found during states of sleep, supporting immune repair, cellular regeneration, and physical recovery. Those who struggle with substance use disorder or sleep disruptions often show irregular delta activity, which can impact both mood and energy.

Micro Current Neurofeedback helps encourage healthier delta patterns—often allowing for better sleep and deeper physical restoration.

Theta (4–8 Hz)

Theta is where imagination, memory, and subconscious emotions are focused. It’s also the brainwave linked with the dreamy, reflective state between wake and sleep. In addiction and trauma recovery, unbalanced theta can surface as emotional flooding or mental fog.

By utilizing Micro Current Neurofeedback, we can help clients regulate these waves and encourage a more relaxed state of being overall.

Alpha (8–12 Hz)

Alpha helps you stay calm and present. When it’s in balance, you will feel relaxed yet aware and alert. Seniors and individuals facing chronic stress or medication-related fog often have underactive alpha, making it hard to stay emotionally regulated and focused.

We support alpha optimization through Micro Current Neurofeedback, nutritional suggestions, and personalized genetic and medication reviews to rule out contributing factors.

Beta (12–30 Hz)

Beta supports mental clarity, alertness, and task completion. But too much beta—especially in those recovering from stimulants or stress—can create agitation or compulsive overthinking. On the other side, too little beta may cause apathy and difficulty concentrating.

Through our comprehensive and integrative services, we help our clients bring beta back into balance.

Gamma (30–100 Hz)

Gamma is associated with cognition, empathy, and higher awareness. Supporting gamma activity is especially important for seniors and anyone seeking to rebuild cognitive strength or emotional clarity.

Why It Matters

Your brainwaves tell a story. At MyNOW Wellness, we use that story—alongside your genetic, emotional, and medical history—to craft a personalized healing plan. Because you deserve care that sees the whole picture.
