What is brain reorganization?
Brain reorganization is a non-invasive method of completing primitive brain development by re-creating the movements that we might have missed as babies. By finishing our primitive brain development, we give the brain the solid foundation it needs to operate as efficiently as possible.What is disorganized brain?
The brain is naturally meant to develop in a certain way through movement patterns that babies are programmed to do in the first year of life. These develop the primitive parts of the brain, which are mostly in charge of the automatic functions keeping us alive. But brain development is not linear! Many people do not have the opportunity to move enough as babies or experience trauma, both if which can interrupt efficient lower brain development. The result: a disorganized brain!
Thanks to the power of neuroplasticity, our brains can change at any point in time. Our program is based on harnessing that neuroplasticity to help the brain finish the development it might have missed. By re-creating these simple movements, the primitive brain can finish its development and our members can live life in the cortex.
What is neuroplasticity?
Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to form new pathways and change how its connections are wired The common belief used to be that once the brain developed through infancy, that was it; we were hard-wired and no changes could be made. As it turns out, that could not have been further from the truth! Neuroplasticity has shown scientists all over the world that the brain has the potential for change with every single experience. The way our brain continues to develop depends on the quality and quantity of our experiences. Every experience we have – wanted or unwanted, positive or negative – influences the very architecture of our brain.
What is a reconnect?
According to neuroscientists, our conscious mind (the part we are aware of) is responsible for only about 5% of our decisions, actions, emotions, and behavior. That means
In The Cortex uses Reconnects
A simple method of checking for unproductive subconscious beliefs, and reconnecting to the opposite, positive beliefs using simple phrases and movements.
Once your positive reconnection is locked in, your subconscious mind starts creating new neural pathways that are aligned with it. Next, the patterns and behaviors in your life will start to shift and, before you know it, you will have let go of all the old habits that didn’t serve you.
Reconnects are one of the most profound and life-altering techniques we will share with you. Once this simple technique is understood, there is no limit to the positive ways in which your life can shift.
The 4 Components of In the Cortex
1. The Pons
This is the emotional brain which regulates our fight-or-flight response and develops while we are creeping on our bellies
2. The Midbrain
This is the part of the brain that acts as a filter for the rest of the brain and develops while crawling on hands and knees
3. Primitive Reflexes
Our program addresses 9 commonly retained primitive reflexes throughout the 12 modules
4. Subconscious beliefs
Once the brain is out of survival mode, we show how to reprogram unproductive subconscious beliefs you
After the Pons comes the Midbrain, which develops from 6-12 months of life.
The Midbrain works as a filter for the rest of the brain. It tunes out all the distractions so we can focus on what’s important in each moment! That means it plays a critical role in:
The Midbrain works as a filter for the rest of the brain. It tunes out all the distractions so we can focus on what’s important in each moment! That means it plays a critical role in:
- Planning
- Organization
- Motivation
- Long-term vs. instant gratification
- Vision and eye movement
- Motor planning and execution
- Reward-based learning
- Sensory processing

The first part of the primitive brain to develop from 0-5 months of life. The pons is involved in many critical jobs, including:
The first movement that babies do for transportation is called creeping, and it’s one of the basic movements of the In The Cortex program. Our brains are wired to creep because it is coded into our development as the movement that develops the pons.
- Managing our “fight, flight, or freeze” response
- Regulating our automatic functions (breathing, digesting, etc.)
- Vestibular and proprioceptive systems
- Playing a huge part in emotional regulation!

- Managing our “fight, flight, or freeze” response
- Regulating our automatic functions (breathing, heartbeat, blinking, etc.)
- Secreting important chemicals like serotonin, oxytocin, and cortisol

This is the wrinkly outside layer of your brain. It has between 21–26 billion neurons in the prefrontal cortex! The cortex is super important for memory, learning, language, and many essential functions to our daily lives. While it's the newest part of the brain to develop, it's the most important for all logical and rational activity in our brain. This is the part of the brain where we want to spend most of our time: In the Cortex!

Primitive reflexes are automatic, instinctual movements that are designed to ensure survival in the first year of life. They begin to emerge in utero and help guide the fetus into position for a natural delivery. They work as a team and have a specific pattern for integrating/turning “off”. If the pattern gets interrupted, the reflex cannot become integrated therefore leaving it “on” or unintegrated. When primitive reflexes are left unintegrated, our brain gets stuck in survival mode. Instead of responding, the brain is left reacting to the world around, which can disturb daily life.
Primitive reflexes are automatic, instinctual movements that are designed to ensure survival in the first year of life. They begin to emerge in utero and help guide the fetus into position for a natural delivery, as well as help the baby survive in the first year of life before they have access to the cortex (where we have logic and higher thinking). They also work as a team and most of them have a specific pattern for integrating/ turning "off" when the brain is ready to operate from the cortex. If these movement pattern gets interrupted, the reflexes cannot become integrated therefore leaving them "on"/ unintegrated. When primitive reflexes are left unintegrated, they disrupt daily life and put the brain in survival mode. That means that, instead of responding, many are left reacting to the world around them.
