Reprogram the Computer...


When the new recruits show up for their first week of Boot Camp, there’s a whole range of set up steps their ordered to complete. One of the big ones is:

Clear the decks for action.

1.)   And if this sounds crazy to them, We DON’T CARE! *

We have them go through their entire house, room by room, and rearrange all of their furniture. They often need some help doing this but wither they do or do not, they must take each room, and turn the whole thing around.

The head of their bed’s against one wall, they move it to another, same deal with every piece of furniture in every room of their house

Once this task is complete, they are required to answer our prompts before we let them move to the next step in our process.


                                                                  ***

*  “WE DON’T CARE!”

That’s what I to say to all my campers right out of the gate, because though after week three, I do back off on them a bit, up until that time as I often say to them:

“YOU’RE IN THE ARMY NOW!”

And that means they follow orders. But rearranging furniture threw a lot of them and I got quite an ear full. So now I’m cutting the campers a little slack by letting them in on all the why’s and wherefores.

Boot Campers will never be ordered to do anything unless there’s a very good reason for it.

Reprogram Your Brain!

The entire Boot Camp program from start to finish has nothing to do with diets they’ll never stick too or starving themselves in the process.

It’s all about reprogramming that computer they keep between their ears.

All habits, good or bad, are all about your brain computer programming and that programming takes your conscious mind completely out of the loop.

It’s 100% controlled by your prefrontal cortex and on that score, binge eating and substance abuse, all of your actions / reactions are done without you ever thinking about it.

There’s a million examples in your everyday life, from automatically reaching for the salt & pepper, even before tasting your food, to wetting your toothbrush before you put on the paste, to parting your hair on the left or the right...ALL AUTOMATIC.

All you have to do is consciously vary any of those steps, in this case, making you walk around your furniture in a slightly different way so you won’t bump into to it.

Or maybe NOT wetting your toothbrush first, or forcing yourself to take a bite of your food before you season it.

Just making the slightest little change:

Will send quite a little jolt to that computer of yours and actually stimulate what they call “neutral growth” in that region of your brain.

There’s study after study that all show some actual physical growth in that part of your brain. That knocked me out but it true. It’s just like a weight lifter doing resistance exercises.

Just a couple weeks on something new, and you can actually see physical differences in your brain. The brain is not a muscle, but it acts exactly like a muscle if it’s properly programmed.

Ten times out of ten, once into the full 90 day Boot camp program, if they take an actual physical measurement, it’s right there:

THE BRAIN HAS ACTUALLY GOTTEN BIGGER.

I’m not speaking to you figuratively here, that’s exactly how it works...Measurable brain growth and not nine times out of ten...TEN TIMES OUT OF TEN!  

Ask any body builder and they’ll all tell you the key to building new muscles is to:

“Mix It Up.”

You do NOT do the exact same exercise regiment every day...You vary it.

That’s exactly how your brain works. The more you challenge that brain of yours with new programming, the easier it gets to make real changes in your life.

Everything, mind and spirit residing in that body of yours is connected.

And that is the logic behind having our campers rearrange their furniture.

Now that example of programming is just one of the little things we put campers through. There’s programming that one hell of a lot more intense during that first critical 32 days that no Camper could ever possibly miss.

Rearranging furniture is not anywhere near as obvious, BUT, though we’re kind of sneaking up on them when they’re not looking, even with that little tack, THEY ARE BEING PROGRAMMED.

Baby Steps.

YOU’RE SUFFERING, REALLY SUFFERING WITH BINGE EATING / SUBSTNACE ABUSE / WEIGHT ISSUES?

RULE# 1: Work with people who actually know what they’re doing. For years and years I struggled with Binge Eating / Substance Abuse / Weight issues and at my high point, I was just under 100 lbs. overweight. I didn’t like the way I looked and I wanted to do something about that, BUT my real motivation wasn’t trying to go Jim Hollywood, it was pain avoidance. The taller you are, the more likely you are to have problems with your back and all the men in my family are 6’2” plus. The weight made it worse... A lot worse . I was seeing my chiropractor three to five times a week and constantly coming out of adjustment. I was in constant pain and my flexibility was in the minus numbers. I couldn’t pick up my morning paper without getting down on all fours. I couldn’t put my pants on unless I was sitting down and even then, a lot of mornings it was touch and go. And as for tying my shoes, forget it. I didn’t have a single pair of lace up shores...all loafers. ...

Lost & Gained, Lost & Gained, Lost & Gained - Like a "Broken Record"

  The Boot Camp, just as a test, ran a small series of Facebook ads, geared to people who have struggled all their lives with weight and always with the same “Broken record” :   They’d go along all just fine and dandy with the weight just falling off, BUT they’d either gain it all back right away or go for months, sometimes even a full year, beating themselves up trying desperately to stay on a strict unsustainable diet before finally falling off the wagon and ending up in worse shape yet. They’d blame themselves, seeing themselves as weak and far more often than not, falling into a deep state of depression, then guess what, “TRY TO EAT THEIR WAY THROUGH THEIR ISSUES.”  Anybody who’s struggled with weight the way I have, the way all our campers have, knows exactly how that all goes.  We see it all the time with our newbie Campers... No matter what they tried, they always end up right back where they started from, most of the time, in a whole lot worse shape.  W...

THE WORKING MAN’S BETTY FORD CLINIC

The Jim Brown Boot Camp for Binge Eating & Substance Abuse is THE WORKING MAN’S BETTY FORD CLINIC. Both 90-day programs are based in the relatively new science of Epigenetics, reprogramming the brain to crave foods that are good vs bad, both are 100% effective. It’s outpatient vs inpatient, with a 97.4% cost differential. Both offer results, REAL results that stick. With most tables there are FOUR LEGS that hold them up. The Camp has SEVEN. 1.)   We’re selective, we screen all applicants 2.)   Constant supervision 3.)   One on one field training, vs classroom 4.)   Therapy / Medication, where appropriate  5.)   Transcendental Meditation 6.)   Full coordination with general practitioners, licensed therapists, TM and Camp personal  7.)   Daily online presence to guide Campers though the process  If we hit five or even six out of the Golden seven, it just do...
