  • Publication number: 20230302078
    Abstract: Methods and compositions for providing control over a subject's body, include methods and compositions for enhancing the ability of a subject's body to lose weight, or for inducing weight loss in the subject's body. Such methods and compositions may induce thermogenesis in the adipocytes of a subject's body, enhancing the subject's metabolism, inhibit adipogenesis in adipocytes of the individual, and reduce the subject's cravings for food, the subject's appetite and/or the amount of food consumed by the subject. Such a composition may include African mango (Irvinia gabonensis) seed extract, citrus fruits extract from Citrus aurantium, Citrus sinensis, and/or Citrus paradisi (standardized to 5% synephrine and 80% bioflavonoids), Coleus forskholi root extract, and a source of dihydrocapsiate. The composition may be administered with a protein supplement, such as a whey protein supplement (e.g., a hydrolyzed whey protein supplement).

  • Publication number: 20230111776
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure are directed to neural stimulation via non-invasive sensory stimulation. Non-invasive sensory stimulations can comprise audio stimulation, visual stimulation, mechanical stimulation, or a combination thereof. The combination and/or sequence of one or more of audio, visual, and mechanical brain stimulations can adjust, control or otherwise manage the frequency of the neural oscillations to provide beneficial effects to one or more cognitive states or cognitive functions of the brain, while mitigating or preventing adverse consequences on a cognitive state or cognitive function that stems from, for example, sleep deprivation, stress, hormonal imbalance, or other physical, physiological, or psychological conditions. In doing so, the present systems and methods can improve the cognitive potential of a person.

  • Publication number: 20230104621
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a method for neuromodulating a subject, comprising providing (i) a cognitively engaging content, and (ii) a gamma oscillation inducing waveform, wherein said gamma oscillation inducing waveform: comprises an intensity that renders said gamma oscillation inducing waveform imperceptible to said subject; and causes a therapeutic improvement in a cognitive function, thereby neuromodulating said subject.

  • Publication number: 20230022546
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure are directed to neural stimulation via non-invasive sensory stimuli. The non-invasive sensory stimuli can reduce neuroinflammation, improving synaptic plasticity and stimulating neural networking, and improving microglial-mediated clearance of cerebral insults, which would otherwise contribute to the progression of brain atrophy, by inducing synchronized gamma oscillations in at least one region of a brain in a subject. Stimulations can adjust, control or otherwise manage the frequency of the neural oscillations to provide beneficial effects to one or more cognitive states or cognitive functions of the brain, while mitigating or preventing adverse consequences on a cognitive state or cognitive function that stem from progression of brain atrophy.

  • Publication number: 20210174919
    Abstract: The digital personalized medicine system uses digital data to assess or diagnose symptoms of a subject to provide personalized or more appropriate therapeutic interventions and improved diagnoses. The use of prioritized questions and answers with associated feature importance can be used to assess mental function and allow a subject to be diagnosed with fewer questions, such that diagnosis can be repeated more often and allow the dosage to be adjusted more frequently. Pharmacokinetics of the subject can be estimated based on demographic data and biomarkers or measured, in order to determine a treatment plan for the subject. Also, biomarkers can be used to determine when the patient may be at risk for experiencing undesirable side effects and the treatment plan adjusted accordingly.
