How Trisha Yearwood Used LENS Neurofeedback to Restore Clarity
When country music singer Trisha Yearwood opened up publicly about her cognitive struggles after COVID, countless people saw themselves in her story. She described experiencing significant brain fog, forgetfulness, and cognitive issues, symptoms many people experience after illness, chronic stress, or trauma, until she tried LENS (Low Energy Neurofeedback System).
What Is LENS Neurofeedback?
LENS, or Low Energy Neurofeedback System, is an FDA-approved direct neurofeedback technology that uses EEG (electroencephalography) to measure the brain’s electrical activity and administer a gentle electromagnetic signal to the brain. This signal helps to stimulate the brain, disrupt ineffective brainwave patterns, create new neural pathways, and improve overall brain functioning. A typical LENS session is simple and noninvasive:
Sensors are placed on either the scalp and ears or the body to read brain activity.
The system sends a very low-energy, brief signal, often lasting just a few seconds.
You may feel nothing in the moment, or you may notice subtle shifts such as relaxation, lightness, or tiredness.
You monitor for continued changes after session, often lasting only 24-48 hours at first.
Sessions are adjusted based on your sensitivity, reactivity symptoms, and reported responses.
Trisha Yearwood’s Experience With LENS
Yearwood shared that after recovering from a mild case of COVID, she was left with persistent cognitive issues, such as difficulty recalling familiar words, trouble with focus and forgetfulness, and brain fog. These symptoms are hallmarks of both long COVID and chronic stress. She experienced initial hesitation because she “didn’t understand what this does,” but after a friend recommended it, she decided to try it. According to Yearwood, she noticed:
Significantly improved sleep, stating that it was the best sleep she had in 10 years
Reduced brain fog and improved mental clarity, stating that her brain feels like it did in her 30’s
How gentle and passive the treatment felt, emphasizing that sessions are short and don’t require talking like traditional therapy does
To her, the changes felt so profound that she referred to LENS as “life-changing.”
Considering LENS Neurofeedback?
Although effectiveness can vary by condition, over 85% of clients are reported to benefit significantly, and often dramatically, from LENS. LENS can be used to improve symptoms associated with the following conditions:
Neurodevelopmental and behavioral conditions
Mental health conditions and emotional dysregulation
Brain, cognitive, and neurological conditions
Sleep issues
Addictions and dependences
Chronic pain
Trauma and stress
In a world where our nervous systems are constantly overstimulated by technology, emotional overload, or simply the pace of daily life, LENS offers something unique: a quiet, gentle nudge back towards balance. It doesn’t force the brain to change; it simply reminds it of its capabilities. If you’re curious about how you might benefit from LENS, we’d love to talk with you and explore whether it could be a good fit. You can schedule a free consultation call through our website.
