Boost Your BRAIN POWER with this Groundbreaking Technology đź§

Brain coach Jim Kwik and NuCalm CEO Jim Poole discuss KwikState, a technology using patented neuro-acoustic algorithms to shift listeners into specific brainwave states for better focus and learning. The algorithm prevents the brain from adapting, and different tracks target frequencies like 15-20 Hz for focus without drugs.

What is the key to becoming a limitless learner? What is the key to becoming a limitless learner? In fact, what is the future of accelerated learning? And I was recently asked this question, and my answer without pause is all learning is state dependent. All learning is state dependent. The state of your brain, right, of even your mood, of your mind and your body when you approach new information. Because all learning is connecting that state, because you can't learn something in the wrong state of being. And so to have this conversation, we have the CEO of New Calm, which is like the ultimate platform and technology for choosing your state, Jim Poole.
Thank you for having me. Yeah, love being here. Now, I love the idea of accelerated learning, the future of accelerated learning.
And so that was actually my answer at a recent interview, is, uh, is controlling our state. And because depending on our state, if you're in a state of fear, in a state of stress, you're in a state of loneliness, you're not gonna learn your best, right? You're gonna be in your survivor brain. It's holding you hostage to your executive functioning, to your ability to solve problems, to your ability to be a creator in your life. You are probably the first to be able to hear about this. It's a brand new partnership between Kwik Brain and our accelerated learning methodologies, mindset, motivation, and the incredible technology It's amazing what we're about to do. Yeah.
It's amazing what we're about to bring to the world. NuCalm is the world's most powerful algorithm mathematics neuroacoustic software. We've been around for 32 years, former FDA Class III medical device, the only patent in the world for lowering stress without drugs, used across the United States military, thousands of doctors, 2 million surgical procedures, On and on and on, proven ad nauseam. That technology is designed to lower the brainwave frequency and oscillate you in alpha and theta. But in the last 9 years, in parallel, we began a research and development program starting with Deep Sleep, which oscillates your brain into deep delta, 0.5 Hz to 4 Hz, then Focus, which is 15 to 20 Hz, and then Ignite, which is high-intensity, mistake-free peak performance, which is 39 to 45 Hz. 41 Hz. So, our platform allows any human being to change your mental state on demand using advanced physics, listening to something, no drugs, no side effects. And so, KwikState powered by NuCalm. This journey started 5 and a half years ago.
Yeah.
For us, behind the scenes, it started 7 years ago when we were taking the proven methodology used to create NuCalm and we thought, knowing how the brain works and knowing what state we want, I think when we tell people you can't learn in a stressed state, I think we intellectually can accept that knowledge. I think our brain tries to override it. I don't think any of us thinks, well, I'm feeling anxious today, I shouldn't try to learn, or I'm feeling sad today. I think we try to endeavor to persevere.
Yeah.
With no efficiency and no effect. So just stop doing that. Have the humility to understand how your brain operates and to know if I don't deal in a mindful approach to what's ailing me, and occupying my brain, don't bother trying to learn. So, the cool thing here is, we've taken the Focus platform, which oscillates your brain between 15 and 20 hertz. Now, many of us don't understand brainwave frequency and vibration and resonance, I get that, but it's really quite simple. 0.5 hertz to 4 hertz, the slowest waveform, is deep sleep, dreamless-like deep sleep. Theta, 4 hertz to 7 hertz, is cellular recovery, rejuvenation, that's the healing zone, that's what keeps us alive. Alpha, 8 Hz to 12 Hz, creativity, first stage of sleep, being in flow. Beta is the broadest range of human brainwave function, 13 to 15 Hz is alert functioning, adult thinking. Great. 15 to 20 Hz is the state that Jim would like you to be focused in. It's 15 to 20 Hz. That aspect, when someone says all learning is state-dependent, he's speaking specifically to that oscillatory pattern.
Very good.
15 to 20 Hz. What happens in 15 to 20 Hz? The brain gets cleared of distractions. It declutters your brain. The brain is more permeable, more neuroplastic, better concentration, better clarity, better understanding, and ability to accept information, process information, consolidate information, and recall information.
Hmm.
So, KwikState powered by NuCalm literally is going to revolutionize How people learn. Every second of these tracks are built with a mathematical matrix. It takes us years. It took us 17 months for these. It usually takes us 12 months to 25 months. Every minute is done with a pitch and a frequency matrix. You have to compose the music to that. So if you took AC/DC and you're trying to amp up, at some point the physics would, would create resistance to the music composition. So every— the meticulous design is so fascinating. It's a second-by-second neurosurgery of building these tracks. So when you listen to them, you'll know. Dan says, hey, I can't explain this to you. You'll know genius when you hear it.
So some people will go to YouTube and say, oh, I've heard this kind of syncing, uh, program, or maybe binaural beats. How is this different?
My first response to that is, let's apply logic. We have a former $6,000 Class 3 medical device that's done 2 million surgical procedures in replacement of benzodiazepines in general anesthesia. There must be something different, and there is. A binaural beat, which was discovered by a German scientist in 1839, is simply tricking the brain. Understand the brain is going to compensate. So for example, if I wanted the brain to oscillate at 12 Hz, I'd put 512 Hz in the right ear, 500 in the left ear. When it's when these signals are received by the midbrain, the, the caudate nucleus, it sees that there's different frequencies, and the brain being infinitely amazing, it subtracts the difference. This is incredible, and you're left with 12 Hz. Binaural beat is everywhere, but binaural beat is not scientifically going to help you if it's not sophisticated. So remember, the reticular activating system's primary goal is pattern recognition. How we have the only patented method and the only patented solution in the world was Blake's genius. He created a nonlinear oscillating algorithm. So binaural beat might be, you download it and it's like 10, 20 megabytes. One state, one KwikState is a gigabyte of information. So the complexity ensures that your brain will never figure out the pattern and your brain will never build resistance to the outcome. So, there's a level of medical complexity to this that belies a 99-cent app. And, I don't mind that everyone's buying this and checking it out. The first time you listen to a binaural beat app, the first time, it's amazing. The second time, it's really good. The third time, it's okay. The fourth time you listen to it, your brain has figured it out. That's the difference.
I get goosebumps. I call it truth bumps. We talked about in Limitless these brainwave states. You know, going if you and if you've read Limitless and many of you have that, I want to thank you and been translated now forty different languages. We talk about delta and theta and alpha and beta and gamma. And what I'm saying is is that if you're in a bored state, it's really hard to really study right or to be able to listen to a podcast or to listen to a lecture and get a whole lot out of it. If you're if you're in a fearful state, you know, or you're in a scared state or you're in a nervous state, you have some kind of anxiety or loneliness. You're not gonna get the best out of yourself. And so the challenge is someone could learn a method, right? They can learn a method for speed reading, they can learn a method for studying or note-taking or remembering, like how to remember names. And if they're anxious, they're not gonna get the same kind of result, the kind of result that they desire and that they truly deserve. And now I've been a product of NuCalm since we met at Consumer Electronics Show in 2017. I use it every single day. I tell people that's That's my secret weapon. When I'm traveling, I could be on 3 continents in 1 week and jet lag and how do I optimize my sleep and my focus and my recovery? Now, taking your 3 decades of experience and also the 3 decades of experience that I've had as a brain coach, combining them together to 60-plus years is really like a superhero team coming together. You have somebody who comes in and they're the Be it the Batman or the Wonder Woman, they team up with Superman, it just supercharges that Justice League. And that's what the kind of results we want to get because you can't just hope to get in a great learning state, right? What you're offering people, as we teamed up, is real. We're offering people real help. Right. And what I love about it is it's simple and it's easy and it's enjoyable. And people could actually see what we're going through right now and be the first to see this and join us. kwikstate.com. And so what's— what are they gonna see there or hear there or experience there? It's not even—
Yeah, 2 programs. Okay, one, How to Become Limitless. Many of you who've read the book understand the method, but have you incorporated it into your life? Have the words turned into action? Chances are no because of the state.
Right.
So, you are simply going to choose the outcome you want. For example, for me, I wake up every morning, thankfully, and the first thing that I do, and this is learned behavior, is I use the restroom, then I put my socks and shoes on, I get my headphone, I open up KwikState powered by NuCalm, and I listen to Wake Up. It is a state that is 6 minutes and 59 seconds long. It is the physics platform putting my brain in a permeable state. Basically taking all the angst and all the confusion, all the distraction that we all wake up with, and it puts it in the corner. And I'm clearly focused with also an emotional component. I'm engaged in listening to what Jim has to share with me as Jim's words dictate for me to allow me, with intention and purpose, to control the outcome of my brain for the day. I'm literally programming my day. With intention to achieve the maximum I want from that day. I'm holding myself accountable to what I want to achieve. And I think the coolest thing that I've gravitated to because of my role in this world of traveling the earth trying to relax people is very exhausting, and I'm easily distracted because I have a million different people coming at me. Make the most important things the most important things. Make the most important things the most important things.
Mm-hmm.
I listen to that Every morning, and it drives my decision-making throughout the day. Because when it comes in, hey, this came up, or this person has cancer, can you help them? Or this person in the FBI needs help, I have to stay focused. So literally, by listening with the world's most powerful physics— we are the best in the world at what we do, and this is the best we've ever created. It is unbelievable. So yeah, I get truth bumps too, because You and I know a secret that the world is going to figure out. We've changed and optimized how humans are going to learn and made it more efficient, and we have turned your valuable words, the amazing truth and method that you have promulgated for 30 years, and it goes into my brain and it goes into my soul.
You know, if people want to amplify their powers of mindset, they want to access new levels of motivation, They want to be able to upgrade and not only learn, like read the methods that we have in the book or maybe in courses or in our podcast. This will take you to a new level of understanding. And it's not even a level of understanding where you're doing it. It's almost a level of understanding where you're becoming it. You know, and so these are words. What I would encourage everyone to do actually is to go to kwikstate.com and get an actual experience of this. And so this is something again that you've never heard me have this kind of conversation with you in the past 30 years, right? And so this is something that's new. People are asking about the power of learning and the future of education and transformation. And I really do believe it lies in the foundation of state management, you know, controlling our state. And The challenge is, is it's so simple, but it's that difficult if you don't have a tool, because all of us need help in this area. And that's why I was so excited and we partnered in this way, because it creates this synergy, right? Where 1 plus 1 doesn't equal 2, 1 plus 1 is like 11, right?
Yes.
And that, that's the power of magnification. And so instead of just telling you, and we'll tell you more about it. I really encourage people to go to kwikstate.com and listen to that first introduction.
Wake up and the introduction.
Yeah.
If you listen to this with headphones 21 times, your life is forever changed. I've listened to the motivation aspect so many times, and here's what I've noticed: I'm emotionally engaged, I'm listening to every word, I'm hanging on these words. I'm remembering and knowing what's coming next, but I'm still finding nuances. There's so much information in there and it's getting to me. So there are 2 programs. One is How to Become Limitless. If you want to understand, not to read about it, but to become it, these are incredible to listen to and you can't listen to them enough. Number 2 is Training Your Brain. So it's simple. There's a wake-up track. It's 6 minutes of 59 seconds. You listen to it in the morning to program your day. Then there is learning tips. Learning, studying, doing anything mental where I want to have some efficiency and I want to get more done in less time and do it well, I listen to the learning tips. It's phenomenal. We are not trained on how to study and how to learn, so your tips are incredible and it prepares me. And then there are 2 20-minute states. One's called Focus, one's called Insight. Bringing your brainwave function to the optimal learning state with headphones allows me an incredible, efficient, clear-headed, amazing awareness of what I'm trying to accomplish.
Right.
Okay.
And this is regardless of your age or your stage, if you will, in, in learning or in life. This works for children, this works for aging seniors, and everyone in between. You know, you and I have the opportunity to work with clients who are performing at the highest levels. They are doing life-saving surgeries, right? They are at the— on the front lines, you know, in the military. They are leaders. They are parents helping to guide their children through turbulent times, right? People need to be able to show up. And my question for everyone who's watching or listening is, who's counting on you to to play at your A-game. You could have the mindset, motivation, even the methods, but the centerpiece of it is your identity. It's your state of being. We talk about your to-be list and what's on your to-feel list. What are the states that you're cultivating each day? Until we had this conversation years ago about what can we bring to the world that's truly unique, that's simple, that's easy to execute, And that's enjoyable. You know, we have our entire team using NuCalm, right? And also KwikState powered by NuCalm. And they've heard my voice in many different variations for years and years. And but something is landing differently because it's not just what you say, it's actually how you say it and the neuroacoustics that's behind it, the technology which is invisible, but it feels so, so visceral. It just feels like there's— I don't know what it is. It's like, have you ever watched something and you're so enthralled with it, you're in that kind of flow state, and you feel like you are that main character and you're going through and you're winning that victory? And it's just like, it's that potent. And it's not like binaural beats, right? So maybe you could explain just maybe in a minute what the neuroacoustic technology with this physics is actually doing inside somebody's brain.
The brain is very complex. The brain is very compensatory. What does that mean? Everything I do to the brain is going to have a reaction. Dr. Holloway understood all the levels of compensation that would occur in the brain. There's something called the reticular activating system. I know Jim speaks of this a lot. That aspect of our brain is an expert in pattern recognition and finding shortcuts. So, there is a nonlinear oscillating algorithm that commands your brain's attention as it tries to figure out the pattern, and we are bringing your brain from 13 Hz, which is kind of low alert functioning, to 15 Hz and then to 20 Hz. And in that range, the amazing part about it is it's decluttering your brain, and you don't do any work. You're working there, you're listening to it, and then all of a sudden you will have a clear, unified, singular thought on whatever you're focused on. So this is a pitch and mathematical matrix. There is some binaural signal processing, there's isochronic waveforms, There's a lot of information, and it's not because we're a complicated neuroscience company that likes to complicate things. It's because the brain is exceptionally complicated and does not want to be guided or managed, and we have figured out the secret sauce. Now, we are vibrational. You will never be the same as you are right now. I will never be the same. Every minute we're different. Every hour we're different. Every day we're different. We don't really understand this, but we are vibrational. Dr. Holloway figured out the secret sauce for vibration to tune the brainwave function to where we want it to be. So, the triumvirate of neuroacoustic software designed to create the oscillation of optimal brain thinking with the emotional component— I love what you just said. When I'm listening to this, I feel like I'm the star attraction in this movie.
Yeah.
And I'm not, but it feels that way. And that emotional connection is so powerful for imprinting the words on my soul. And then Jim's method.
You've heard me say this before, that if knowledge is power, learning is your superpower. But what's the key to access? What's unlocking that superpower is your Kwik State, right? This is the state where you are naturally and organically absorbing information and not just absorbing it cognitively, But you're just becoming it. It just becomes natural to do the things that that person is supposed to do. And so when you can access that Kwik State powered by NuCalm, it's like 10x-ing your ability. So if we have at all piqued your interest and you're there in whatever area of life that you're in right now, maybe you're going through and you're in a good time, or maybe you're in a season of, of maybe challenge right now. Remember that with challenge comes change. And I believe that there's a reason why we're connecting here today, that it's not a coincidence if you're listening to this or you're watching this right now, that there is a reason. And with that reason, I want you to get a profound result. So I encourage you to not just hear these words, is to take one small action. Go to kwikstate.com and see what we co-created for you. All I want you to do is one thing, right? After you listen to it, if you found yourself you discovered and developed a profound result in your life where you could see things different, you could feel a difference, and you could act differently to create a new result. Because I believe one step in another direction can completely change your destination. Some people will call it their destiny. That if you feel that way, then you share it. And that's why you have a feeling, right? You have a state or a state of being or a feeling, a set of emotions, because it's a signpost Right? You don't— you feel fear because maybe your nervous system is saying, oh, I need to prepare for something, right? Or if you feel bored, that means, oh wait, there's something going on here. I need to pay attention, right? And so if you feel something, then you need to do something brand new. And what I would ask you to do is after you listen to these first couple of sessions is to share with someone that you love. Who is somebody that you know that is struggling right now? Who's someone that you know is working really hard and and yet they feel like they're stuck in a box and they're not getting traction in their life? Or who do you know that you love and you care about that's doing well, but you like to give them a little boost, right? A significant advantage. Maybe it's a sibling, maybe it's a child, you know, maybe it's your workforce. I can't tell you how many teams that we have turned on through NuCalm to help them to level up their learning and their life. So, kwikstate.com. All learning is state-dependent. If even if you don't go there, just remember, all learning is state-dependent. But you shouldn't have to, you shouldn't have to hope for it, that there is real, real help. And that's why we created this for you. You know, my whole life I've been looking for a magic pill. Well, the truth is there is no magic pill, but there is a patented program, and that's KwikState powered by Newcomb. So I want to encourage everybody to not take our word for it, is to experience it yourself. You know, I've noticed that when friends of mine and our team is listening to it, they don't just stop at the first time. As you mentioned, like you said, like, oh, I heard this already, but every single time it's different. And the grooves are digging deeper, deeper into those areas of your life and your learning, your nervous system to really make the effective change that, again, that you desire. And that you truly deserve.
Method, time, training. This will train your brain and you will think differently and you will know this and the people around you will know this and it is amazing. I feel so much gratitude and love for this journey and for you as a human being and our partnership is so profoundly going to change people and help people. It's amazing. We're so gifted and honored and privileged to be leading this enterprise.
Yeah, this is really, in my estimation, this is the future of learning, is really state management and having an effective tool, an effective technology to help you get you there. If you're struggling right now and there's a gap between where you are and where you want to be and you've tried different things, maybe all of that has happened for you to come across this and And then again, don't take our word for it. Give yourself a chance. You know, give it to yourself, for your friend, maybe a family member, and then judge by results.
Allow yourself the opportunity to own the day with your Limitless Brain.
Go to kwikstate.com, and until then, be limitless, everybody.
