Brain health is more than mental sharpness—it’s about how well the brain communicates with and regulates the rest of the body. From school-aged children to older adults, local practitioners are seeing stress, sensory disconnection, and neurological challenges manifest  in ways that affect memory, mood, and daily function. Fortunately, breakthroughs in neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to adapt and reorganize—are opening doors for recovery and resilience at every age.

To explore what this means for North Texans, we spoke with two local experts whose work reflects different but complementary approaches: Sonya Howeth of Cereset Plano, which uses cutting-edge brain technology to reset balance and flexibility, and Dr. Maryann Woods-Osifo, D.C., a chiropractic physician who helps patients restore brain-body communication through nervous system–centered care.

Common Challenges

Both practitioners agree that today’s lifestyles place enormous pressure on the nervous system. Howeth sees stress affecting patients “from seniors all the way down to school-age children,” disrupting focus, mood, and performance. She explains that Cereset is designed to help the brain reset itself, allowing true neuroplasticity to emerge.

Dr. Osifo points to breakdowns in brain-body communication as a common thread underlying many conditions. In children, this often appears as delayed milestones or sensory processing struggles, while adults report brain fog, fatigue, post-concussion symptoms, or neuropathy. Although these issues may look different on the surface, they often share the same root: interference in how the brain and nervous system exchange information.

Emerging Therapies

For Howeth, the most exciting advance is Cereset itself, which she describes as “the Rolls Royce of neurotechnology,” a noninvasive system that helps the brain restore balance and flexibility.

Dr. Osifo highlights breakthroughs in peripheral neuropathy care. Once thought irreversible, neuropathy is now being addressed by reconnecting the feedback loop between brain and body. By reintroducing clear sensory input, the nervous system can begin to restore sensation, stability, and confidence.

The Power of Integration

Both experts emphasize that neuroplasticity flourishes when supported by multiple approaches. Howeth notes that Cereset complements conventional, holistic, and functional medicine strategies. Many patients find that their overall wellness only begins to improve once the brain regains its flexibility.

Dr. Osifo explains that conventional medicine excels at diagnostics and acute care, but lasting restoration often requires nervous system–centered input. Her integrated care plans blend chiropractic adjustments, neuro-rehabilitative exercises, sensory activation, and nutrition support, offering patients a more complete pathway to recovery.

Breakthrough Moments

Real-world stories bring the promise of neuroplasticity to life. At Cereset Plano, Howeth recalls a high school student struggling with anxiety and academic stress who regained focus and resilience after sessions. Another client in his 80s, a frequent public speaker, found his confidence and energy restored, allowing him to stay “on top of his game.”

Dr. Osifo shares the case of a 15-month-old child who had not yet begun walking but started taking steps after gentle adjustments and sensory-based home activities stimulated the brain’s motor planning centers. She also recalls a man in his 60s with long-standing neuropathy who regained sensation and balance after his nervous system was retrained to reconnect with input from his feet.

Both practitioners share a message of hope. Howeth reminds readers that “your brain is the master control of your body, a living organ that needs care just like your heart, liver, or gut. Cereset is the best thing you can do for yourself and your future.” Dr. Osifo underscores that the nervous system is never fixed: “Your nervous system is adaptable, responsive, and constantly learning. That’s the incredible power of neuroplasticity.”

For North Texans, the message is clear: brain health can be restored, strengthened, and maintained at any stage of life. Whether through noninvasive neurotechnology or hands-on neurological chiropractic care, local practitioners are proving that neuroplasticity isn’t just a scientific concept—it’s a practical path toward clarity, resilience, and renewed vitality.
