About the Research
Dr. Caroline Leaf’s Groundbreaking Clinical Trials
Dr. Caroline Leaf’s ongoing clinical trials are at the cutting edge of neuroscience and mental health, proving that you can rewire your brain through mind-management. Her research focuses on how the Neurocycle® Formula—a science-backed, 5-step process—reduces stress, anxiety, and toxic thinking while improving emotional resilience, cognitive function, memory, and overall well-being.
What These Trials Are Revealing
Neuroplasticity in Action
Targeted mind-management techniques direct changes in the mind-brain-body network in a healthy direction
Mental Health & Stress Reduction
Applying the Neurocycle® significantly reduces symptoms of anxiety, depression, and burnout.
Improved Cognitive Function
Participants experience enhanced focus, clarity, and emotional intelligence with continued use of the method.
Enhanced Physical Health
Participants showed changes in hormone levels and telomere activity, indicating enhanced overall health.
Why This Matters
Dr. Leaf’s research bridges the gap between neuroscience and real-world application, offering practical tools for long-term mental health transformation. These findings confirm that what you think changes your brain—and with the right strategies, you can take control of your mental and emotional well-being.
Education Research: The 5-Step Learning Process®
Dr. Leaf’s Switch On Your Brain with the 5-Step Learning Process® is a proven system designed to enhance learning, memory, and cognitive performance by leveraging the brain’s natural neuroplasticity.
Key Findings:
- Strengthens neural connections for long-term retention
- Moves beyond rote learning for deep understanding
- Enhances focus, problem-solving, and critical thinking
- Activates both hemispheres of the brain for maximum learning efficiency
At the core of this approach is Metacognitive-Mapping™, a revolutionary brain-friendly writing method that reinforces memory and accelerates comprehension by mimicking neural structures.
The Geodesic Information Processing Theory™
Dr. Leaf’s Switch On Your Brain with the 5-Step Learning Process® is a proven system designed to enhance learning, memory, and cognitive performance by leveraging the brain’s natural neuroplasticity.
Dr. Leaf’s Geodesic Learning Model maps how thoughts cycle through three levels of the mind:
- Non-Conscious Metacognitive Level (ex: breathing)
- Conscious Cognitive Level (ex: mindfulness)
- Symbolic Output Level (ex: journaling)
This model, tested in schools, has shown a 35-75% improvement in academic performance and lifelong cognitive, social and emotional benefits.
