New research shows measurable drops in stress, stronger heart function, and rapid calm—proving the brain can reset the body in minutes.
- Whitney Natiello
In August, I shared that the B.R.A.I.N.S. Technique™ had been recognized at a national healthcare think tank in Washington, D.C. for its potential to transform how we resolve stress and trauma at the root.
Now, the results of our first research collaboration are in—
and the findings are even more exciting than we imagined!
WHAT WE MEASURED
Using a Recordis device, an advanced portable cardiac technology—capturing 125+ data points in just one minute—we measured participants before and after a B.R.A.I.N.S. Technique™ session.
The data shows, in real time, what happens when stress is resolved at its source.
❤️ 1. The Body Enters Healing Mode—Fast
Heart rate decreased by 5–9 beats per minute, suggesting a change in autonomic nervous system regulation, potentially indicating a withdrawal of sympathetic drive and/or a shift toward parasympathetic output. Either way, this represents a move toward physiological balance — the state where the body can finally rest, digest, and begin repairing itself.
💪 2. A Stronger, More Adaptive & Resilient Heart
The heart’s diastolic time—how long it takes for proper filling of the heart before ejection - increased by 15 milliseconds immediately after a session
That means the heart filled more completely and pumped more effectively.
➡️ For every 10-millisecond decrease in diastolic time, cardiac risk rises—
so this increase represents a meaningful improvement in cardiovascular resilience.
🌟 3. Overall Stronger, Healthier Cardiac Performance
The Myocardial Performance Index (MPI)—a key measure of overall heart efficiency—improved to 0.35, a range associated with strong, healthy cardiac performance.
In just minutes, the heart doesn’t just calm—it functions better.
🧠 4. Emotional and Neurological Reset
Participants experienced a mental and emotional shift—
a new perspective on a stressful memory or challenge.
This confirms what we see daily in practice:
when the brain feels safe, the body follows.
WHAT PARTICIPANTS FELT
Calm in Minutes
“Within minutes, my chest felt lighter and my breathing slowed down.
It was like my body finally got permission to relax.”
🧠 Freedom from Triggers
“The memory that used to trigger me felt neutral—
like I could finally see it from a distance.”
🌿 Empowerment to Heal
“That this is a technique I could learn to do myself —
I didn’t have to wait for a therapist.
I could deal with problems before they became serious.”
🩵 The research confirmed what participants described:
When the brain resolves a stress loop, the heart immediately follows—
shifting into coherence, balance, and ease.
Participant Experience Results
Over 30 days, 47 participants reported measurable and lasting improvements following a B.R.A.I.N.S. Technique™ session:
💠 Emotional + Physical Resolution
91% worked with an emotional or mental symptom
-
14% worked on a physical symptom (alone or alongside emotional symptoms)
Emotional State Comparison Before and After one 5-15 minute B.R.A.I.N.S. Technique™ Session
-
Across both groups, participants’ stress intensity dropped from an average of 8 to 2 during session then dropped to 1.3 at 24 hour follow-up
💡 New Perspectives + Solutions
80%+ reported gaining a new solution or perspective about their original trigger.
-
83% continued to experience additional positive shifts in thoughts, emotions, or behaviors 24–48 hours after their session — showing the brain’s ongoing integration process.
🌟 Recommendation + Satisfaction
93% said they would highly recommend the B.R.A.I.N.S. Technique™ to a friend, family member, or colleague facing stress or trauma.
If you’ve been waiting for the research to catch up…
it’s here.
