What Our Students Have to Say
about UHA and BOI

My classes for Brain Nutrition, Life Coaching and Spiritual Psychology, have been invaluable to my practice. The one on one sessions on the phone were the best medium for learning rather than being one of many students in a class. I had the privledge of learning from Gian Paolo personally, and being on the phone rather than in person enabled me to focus more deeply on what I was learning in each particular class. These classes were some of the best learning experiences I have ever had. I highly recommend these to anyone who wants to have an in depth learning experience with a man of great knowledge.

The quality of education I received at UHA is beyond compare. The teacher to student ratio is exceptional, often one on one! This allows UHA to offer quality education in a uniquely personalized environment. I highly recommend Gian Paolo Girardi as a professor and the UHA for an exceptional experience. I loved the books chosen for the course. I also really liked the emphasis in discussing real cases to help the student develop clinical skills. I enjoyed the class atmosphere and it felt always comfortable to share personal concerns and experiences.

I most enjoyed the class structure and content, I also enjoyed the sequence of the classes and the component of doing the psychometric tests to review the way to diagnose clients during class. The variety of books was excellent. I would love to be contacted for testimonials on web-site or call Very satisfied with the course - Thank you.

I love the class size and the books. I think the group being small helps and the various authors keeps it fresh. I loved the place too.

Our Courses Are Available in Person and also Worldwide Online or
on the Phone

Our Certification and Masters programs are available online or on the phone anywhere in the world. You can also participate in person if you live in Los Angeles, California. Here is a testimonial of how effective the phone sessions can be. And in our experience, for classes one on one, the two way videophone is even more effective than the regular phone. This student completed 3 certifications long distance, on the phone.

This is what one of our students has to say about her experience taking our thee 5-month certifications on the phone:

My classes for Brain Nutrition, Life Coaching and Spiritual Psychology, have been invaluable to my practice. The one on one sessions on the phone were the best medium for learning rather than being one of many students in a class. I had the privledge of learning from Gian Paolo personally, and being on the phone rather than in person enabled me to focus more deeply on what I was learning in each particular class.

Dates for Upcoming Courses

From the beginning, at UHA and BOI, we have worked with small groups or one-on-one. As a result, it has become clear to us that teaching a single student, is markedly superior to working with a group – even a small group.

One-on-one teaching provides the best setting to help the student with the unique professional and personal challenges that could interfere with the achievement of his or her goals. This type of teaching/mentoring is extremely effective; though quite difficult to find these days.

Mentoring provides the student with the maximum flexibility in scheduling. There is no need to wait for a predetermined date to begin a course, nor to commit to a rigid class schedule. The teacher and student simply meet on a weekly basis at a time and date that is suitable for both.

How I Got My Brain Back

This is the transcript of a video, (hence the coloquial English) recorded by Gian Paolo Girardi, MS, MA, founder of the Brain Optimization Institute and the University of Healing Arts.

Hi, Thanks for watching. What I am about to share with you here is, possibly, the most painful experience I have had during this lifetime.

I tell this personal story with hope that it will improve the lives of individuals suffering from brain disorders. I especially hope to influence the lives of children and their parents.

I was born in Santiago, Chile and grew up in a farm with pure air, clean water and abundant food. My mother, of Spanish origin, was a bridge teacher and is to this day, admired for her intelligence. My father was Italian and was also intellectually quite sharp. He graduated from high school at 16 and received a degree in agricultural engineering.

So, partly due to good genes, but also because of growing up in a healthy environment, I developed a fairly good brain.

When I was seventeen, in order to attend University, I took the SAT test.

As it was customary in Chile the results were published in the main newspaper of Santiago. I was pleasantly surprised to see that I had obtained one of the highest scores in the country: 725 for math and 796 for verbal abilities.

Years later, I learned that SAT numbers correlate with IQ. My SAT numbers were indicative of an IQ of 153, in the 99.97th percentile of the population.

So, no doubt that, at least at that point in time, I had a healthy brain.

With those scores, I could choose any university and career I wanted. I decided to study engineering and signed up for the most prestigious engineering school in Chile. For many years, I did well in my studies.

However, during my fifth year in engineering I became very interested in yoga and embraced the ovo-lacto vegetarian diet. I had grown up eating massive amounts of red meat -- after all my father also raised cattle.

Perhaps I rushed into these changes too quickly; Just a year into my new diet I began to notice a significant decrease in my concentration.

When taking tests at school I developed a tendency to make one mistake after another.

My grades descended and I even failed a course that my friends passed without problem. I finally graduated, but my last two years were a struggle. My lack of concentration gradually got worse. To make matters worse, my lifestyle became significantly ungrounded. I was meditating three hours a day, but my life was not improving.

At the age of 28, I experienced a brief breakthrough in my meditations. For about four months I was in joy all day long for no reason at all. It was an interesting experience in unconditional joy.

However, it was also a prelude to the worst years of my life.

One day, without warning, I had a panic attack. The joy was gone and it was replaced by a state of constant anxiety that lasted for many, many years.

In fact, years later, when I took the Burns Anxiety Inventory, I scored more than 50 points, which indicates “extreme anxiety.” I was experiencing the most uncomfortable anxiety symptoms, day and night.

At thirty, I married, and my wife and I decided to try for a better life in the United States. I always had great admiration and appreciation for this country so, that same day, immediately after the marriage ceremony, we flew to LA.

Upon my arrival in LA, my anxiety continued and worsened. One of the most painful symptoms was exhaustion. As an immigrant, during the first years I had to do intense physical work. Survival became a very painful challenge.

I tried introspection, affirmations, more meditation, breathing techniques every five minutes, psychotherapy, but nothing was really helping -- I was just barely coping. When I was 35, I injured myself on a job, demolishing walls in a house. At the chiropractor’s office, I found a brochure titled: “Hypoglycemia Can Create Anxiety.”

I found a book on hypoglycemia at the bookstore that described most of my symptoms, persuading me to try the diet recommended in the book.

I didn't even have to abandon my vegetarian diet.

In three days I felt a new person! I was really surprised at the power of a simple nutritional intervention.

Now that I had more energy, I signed up for a Masters Degree in psychology and in a few years I obtained the MFT license from the State of California, to practice psychotherapy.

With the new diet, most of my anxiety symptoms were gone, but, my attention deficit was virtually intact.

I took the TOVA test and scored positive. The Tova test is the most reliable and objective test to diagnose ADD. I took it again and I scored positive again. There was no doubt that I had a full blown ADD. ADD is supposed to be a disorder starting at childhood. However, as I learned nutritional mistakes can result in a full blown ADD, at any age.

About six years ago a friend of mine -- Larry Richardson, an Acupuncturist -- introduced me to the concept of brain nutrition.

I began using supplements and in a month, took the TOVA test again.

This time my scores in attention and impulse control were not only normal but ABOVE normal. The ADD had completely vanished.

I continue taking my brain supplements every day, at maintenance levels. I include fish in my diet and very occasionally some poultry or red meat.

I work more than 65 hours a week. The brain I was originally blessed with has completely returned.

In fact, I would dare to say that -- despite the fact that IQ is supposed to decrease as we age – today, thanks to a sensible diet, the brain supplements and continual intellectual stimulation, I feel that my brain is sharper than when I was young.

In my own healing journey I opted for nutrition over medication -- I can’t tell you how happy I am in this decision. Despite a high IQ, I have done stupid things like everyone, however, the decision to avoid the pharmaceuticals and use brain nutrition was a very, very intelligent decision.

Thanks to that decision, today I have my brain back.

Life Changing Practical E-Book

Quotes from the power of Self-Caring

By Gian Paolo Girardi, MA, MFT, founder, Brain Optimization Institute and the
University of Healing Arts.

This book gives you the understanding of how to transform your life and provides the scientific instruments to measure your weekly progress. The book is a powerful form of self-help therapy.

“Self-Caring has been scientifically proven to correlate with higher levels of happiness. Taking good care of oneself – with all of its subtleties – is the surest way to stay healthy and feeling good. I urge you to learn the art of self-caring.”

“Neglecting your nutrition is likely to result in neurotransmitter deficiencies, making the attempt to keep thoughts positive difficult, if not impossible; no matter how hard you try. Conversely, indulging in frequent negative thinking about yourself, the world and your circumstances, will make happiness elude you, regardless of how perfect your diet may be. Both forms of caring for yourself – good nutrition and positive thoughts – are vital, and they support each other.”

“If you systematically apply yourself to improving the way you take care of yourself, you are likely to make remarkable progress in the way you feel – in a few months you may not even recognize yourself. However, do not underestimate the challenge of Self-Caring. How many times have you made New Year’s resolutions, and then failed to keep them? Using the professional services of a Life Coach to support your efforts is an intelligent way to secure your success.”

Gian Paolo Girardi, MS, MA, UHA/BOI Founder

We have found a powerful and effective Brain Nutrition approach based on both the latest research
and years of clinical experience.
This approach is designed to safely and effectively optimize two of the most powerful systems in the human body – the neurotransmitters in the brain and the glucose pathway in the body and brain.

Neurotransmitters are powerful chemicals, critical to the correct functioning of the brain. Unfortunately, many of our actions and habits can compromise their proper and balanced presence. Deficient diet, lack of physical exercise, job dissatisfaction, conflictive interpersonal relationships, heavy metals in the environment; can each, over time, create neurotransmitter deficiencies in the brain. Considering that the brain controls and affects every
single aspect of our lives, nurturing and caring for our brain, as if our life depends upon it, is the epitome of good common sense.

The Certification in Nutrition with Emphasis in Brain Nutrition Counseling™ offered at our Institute is the first of its kind in the US. Despite the voluminous research demonstrating that Brain Nutrition improves mental health and well-being, this powerful healing approach has been neglected, by mainstream medicine, and to a great extent, also by alternative medicine.

If you are already a health care provider you can add this powerful modality to your repertoire of healing techniques. Our clinical experience proves that by helping the brain, you help the entire body and mind. If you wish to help yourself, relatives and friends or begin seeing clients, this exciting healing modality is worth serious consideration.

What Is Unique about UHA's Certification in
Spiritual Psychology Counseling
with Emphasis in Non-Duality

In this course the student leans about the most enlightened and up to date spiritual psychology paradigms, with special focus on non-duality -- a manifestation of the Truth that is truly relevant to today’s challenges.

Although all serious spiritual teachings point to the same Truth, their effectiveness depends on whether the language used is simple, practical, and relevant to the current times and culture.

We offer our students a highly personalized training and attention throughout the whole program.

The course content is not a one-sided approach that boxes the student's creativity, thinking and spiritual development. On the contrary, this course is a presentation and application of a multi-paradigm approach to Spiritual Psychology Counseling, conducive to the expression of the student’s unique creativity, and intuition. Classes are held online and offline.

The Significance of Our Names: University of Healing Arts and Brain Optimization™ Institute

Aside from the obvious meaning of both names, they represent the two apparently conflictive right and left activities of the brain. The University of Healing Arts offers predominantly right brain, intuitively oriented courses, like the Certification and Masters Programs in "Life Coaching with emphasis in the Mystical Path" and "Spiritual Psychology with emphasis in Non-duality.

"The Brain Optimization™ Institute is part of the University of Healing Arts, and focuses predominantly on left brain, scientifically oriented courses, like the Certification and the Masters in Nutrition with emphasis in Brain Nutrition Counseling™.

To become well-rounded individuals we need to develop both hemispheres of the brain.

What is Unique about the
Psychology Counseling 5 month Course with Certification at UHA

This unique program presented at the University of Healing Arts is based on the most up to date, cutting edge psychological paradigm founded on the principle of letting go (the Mystical Path), rather than grasping (Methaphysics).

The student receives uniquely personalized training and attention throughout the whole program - mentoring classes, one on one, in person or through the internet via Skype.

They learn a most unique approach to Self-Caring not available anywhere: a grand unifying paradigm, that encompasses powerful contemporary self-development methods addressing the self at all levels - physically, mentally and spiritually. This unifying paradigm, was born out of our own research at the Brain Optimization Institute, a subsidiary of the University of Healing Arts, and proves a deceptively simple, but powerful truth: “There is a significant correlation between Self-Caring and Happiness.”

Simply put, the better our self care the happier we are likely to be. Additionally, Self-Caring is fundamental to the attainment of meaningful goals.

This is not a psychology counseling program merely focused on short-term goals, like to help the client feel somewhat better. It is a system capable of bringing forth profound transformation, at multiple levels, first in the student and then in their clients.

Inability to live an authentic life - setting and pursuing meaningful goals in harmony with our true self - leads to psychopathology. Our students learn how to prevent and heal psychopathology. When psychology counseling is rightly understood and applied, it is a powerful healing art. Therefore, at UHA we aim at preparing a counselor that is also a healer of body, mind and soul.

Our students learns counseling paradigms and techniques designed to identify and facilitate the manifestation of authentic, personal goals and potential. A career in counseling at UHA offers vital opportunities and knowledge for personal development, as well as an exciting field of study and work.

In addition to the research mentioned above, this course with certification as a psychology counselor is the result of thirty years of intense self-development work, and eighteen years of experience in clinical psychotherapy.

The result has been a combination of fundamental paradigms and methods, working harmoniously to help the client move quickly from the suffering of the victim state, to the relief of the victor state, and finally to the freedom of the vehicle state.

From a marketing standpoint, when a new client calls you, and you disclose to him or her, that you have a Masters degree from the University of Healing Arts -- which took you a year and a half to complete -- is obviously advantageous.

So, a unique value of our five month certifications is your option to apply it towards the completion of a Masters Degree in Holistic Studies.

All our certification courses are offered online and in person, in groups or one on one.

Advaita's gentle approach to meditation is unsurpassed -- in simplicity and effectiveness. All video loops were taped in the Ganges, India. Meditation consists of shifting the attention from mind to Consciousness. This guided meditation goes through three steps. The first one is a guided physical relaxation -- physical relaxation is not meditation but it prepares the body for meditation. The second part is a guided mental relaxation -- again mental relaxation is not meditation but it prepares the mind for meditation. The third part is meditation itself and it guides you to shift the attention from mind to consciousness or awareness. A ten minute meditation can be helpful, but sometimes too short to go deep.

In this course the student learns to assess for the quality of, and help to optimize, the client's Self-Caring -- a fundamental aspect of manifesting his or her life purpose. The assessment and educational Self-Caring model presented here was tested scientifically at the Brain Optimization Institute. The two year study shows there is a clear correlation between Self-Caring and Happiness. PC-TPC-102: The Science of Typology. The Myers-Briggs Typological System is based on the eight functions of the personality discovered by Carl Jung -- extroversion, introversion, intuition, sensing, feeling, thinking, judging and probing functions. This discovery is possibly the most important, and neglected, insight of Jung's uniquely successful carrer. The Myers- Briggs is the most advanced, practical and scientific typological system available today. The student learns how to assess the client’s personality type according to the M-B system and guide him or her towards authentic goals. This module prepares the student to perform effective vocational counseling. Successful vocational counseling can transform the life of the client in one counseling session! PC-TPC-103: Cognitive Cognitive Psychology Here the student learns how to use empirical, Cognitive Psychology to help the client identify and correct self-defeating thoughts and beliefs. Cognitive Psychology is possibly the fastest and most effective tool to help the client feel good again. Additionally, it changes negative programs into positive ones that allow for the manifestation of soul potentialities. PC-TPC-104: Self-Concept. Here the student learns how to assess and correct negative, self-defeating thoughts affecting the client's self-concept. Effective coaching using this practical paradigm, allows for fast modification of deep cognitive schemata leading to greater self-esteem. Low self-esteem needs to be corrected in order attain healthy self-confidence and manifest personal and soul potential. PC-TPC-105: From Victim to Victor. The student learns to use the powerful Victim, Victor and Vehicle model to help the client move from the Victim to the Victor state and beyond. This unique paradigm is a great assessment tool, and helps the client realize where he or she is stuck in the victim role. Additionally, it points the precise direction they need to move to establish themselves in the victor state and beyond. PC-TPC-106: Metaphysics. Pros and cons of metaphysics. The law of attraction -- true or false? The experience-belief cycle and how to break free of it. Positive expectations vs. no expectations. Metaphysical techniques to create positive expectations - positive denial, positive iIllusions, scripting, affirmations technique, and others. PC-TPC-107: The Mystical Path to Success How to decrease stress regarding outcome, by managing expectations. How to integrate the ethics and freedom of Karma Yoga in the counseling or life coaching process. How this automatically leads to the highest ethical standards. PC-TPC-108: The Mystical Path to Success (continuation) The Mystical approach to healing the relationship with money. The client has healed his or her relationship with money when they truly do not worry about money anymore. He or she can be a billionaire and worry about the future of their assets, especially when the world's economy is shaky. Healing the relationship with money truly, is quite different than learning how to make more money. The client may live on $1,000 a month and have a healthy relationship with money or make $20,000 a month and have a very unhealthy relationshp with money. A good counselor needs to know how to help their client heal their relationship with money - at a practical level and at a psychological and spiritual level.

Classes are held through the internet via Skype (or in person for those living in Los Angeles.) This allows the student to receive instruction from the comfort of their home anywhere in the world. Skype is superior to the present webinar technology allowing for two-way audio and video interaction. Whenever possible, we prefer to teach one student at a time, ensuring that the communication between teacher and student is optimal. SPC-101: The Soul Level -- Healing Through the Expanded Perspective of the Soul. This course includes the following topics: The birth of individuality -- how the souls comes into being and becomes separated from Spirit. Levels of soul development. The soul's compassionate accountability. Vocation is a soul issue. Finding the client's soul vocation. Life purpose and the script for an incarnation. The agreements we signed for before incarnating, and how they control our experience. Application of the soul perspective to counseling, most especcially to dealing with lossess and grief. SPC-102: The Map of Consciousness. Understanding Human Emotions The kinesiological test a window to discern truth from falsehood. Assessing and healing shame, guilt, despair, fear, sadness, anger and excessive pride, and how to approach these issues in counseling. Applying the Map of Consciousness to the spiritual path -- discerning true from false spiritual teachings. SPC-103: From Victor to Vehicle The student learns to use the powerful Victim, Victor and Vehicle model to help his or her client move from the Traditional to the Metaphysical and eventually to the Mystical state. This paradigm is a great assessment tool, and helps the client realize where he or she is stuck in the victim role or in the victor (metaphysical) role. Additionally, it points the precise direction they need to move towards, to firmly establish themselves in the Vehicle, Mystical state. SPC-104: Living a Life Free of Expectations Expectations are a source of suffering. A life free of expectations is an enlightened life. Even positive expectations can be frustrated and create suffering. In the beginning, through metaphysics, we learn to let go of negative expectations and create positive expectations. However, spiritual maturity leads to the next step where we let go of expectation altogether -- positive and negative. SPC-105: The Power of Surrender Surrender might be the fastest and easiest path to enlightenment. Surrender has many faces and here the student is presented with the most significant ones. One of them is the art of surrendering to the present moment. This requires to challenge the idea that time is real and that past and future exist. SPC-106: The Power of Bhakti Yoga The student is introduced to the main four types of yoga – Bhakti Yoga, Psycho-physiological Yogas, Karma Yoga and Jnana Yoga. Understanding this classification allows the yoga practitioner, or spiritual aspirant, to choose the right type of spiritual path (or yoga) for him or her -- one that really suits their personality. Here the student learns most especially about the highest form of Bhakti Yoga which is, "Surrender to the Divine." Surrender to the Divine, in any form the Bhakti may conceive It, is a fast path to liberation and manifestation of soul potential. Billions across the planet practice some form of Bhakti Yoga -- Christians, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus and so on. Because most counselors have clients participating in one of these major religions, we consider that a qualified counselor must understand the Bhakti Yoga path -- with its pros and cons. SPC-107: The Great Jnanis of India Here the student learns about the lives and teachings of the great Jnanis of India, the founding fathers of Non-duality in East and West. Their teachings include invaluable practices and concepts like Self-inquiry, the relative vs. the absolute perspective, free will vs. predetermination, Liberation by relinquishing the sense of autorship, and more. SPC-108: The Modern Advaitists of the West The modern Advaitists of the West are transforming our world from inside out. Here the student is taught how to live life from the center of his or her perceptions -- Awareness -- and, how to see the Divine not only beyond things, but also in everything -- Oneness.

The one on one sessions on the phone were the best medium for learning rather than being one of many students in a class. I had the privledge of learning from Gian Paolo personally, and being on the phone rather than in person enabled me to focus more deeply on what I was learning in each particular class. These classes were some of the best learning experiences I have ever had. I highly recommend these to anyone who wants to have an in depth learning experience with a man of great knowledge. Suzanne, Wellness Consultant, San Francisco ---------- The quality of education I received at UHA is beyond compare. The teacher to student ratio is exceptional, often one on one! This allows UHA to offer quality education in a uniquely personalized environment. I highly recommend Gian Paolo Girardi as a professor and the UHA for an exceptional experience. I loved the books chosen for the course. I also really liked the emphasis in discussing real cases to help the student develop clinical skills. I enjoyed the class atmosphere and it felt always comfortable to share personal concerns and experiences. Susan S. Dr. in Nutrition ---------- I most enjoyed the class structure and content, I also enjoyed the sequence of the classes and the component of doing the psychometric tests to review the way to diagnose clients during class. The variety of books was excellent. I would love to be contacted for testimonials on web-site or call Very satisfied with the course - Thank you. Christina Cárdenas, BA, CN ------------ I love the class size and the books. I think the group being small helps and the various authors keeps it fresh. I loved the place too. Tania, BA, CN ------------- * Steve's H. Case ------------- Only 3 months into the Life Coaching course I experienced a dramatic shift in myself. I am now able to deal with stressful situations in a grounded way ...has truly given me a new lease on life.

And in our experience, for classes one on one, the two way videophone is even more effective than the regular phone. This student completed 3 certifications long distance, on the phone. This is what one of our students has to say about her experience taking our thee 5-month certifications on the phone: My classes for Brain Nutrition, Life Coaching and Spiritual Psychology, have been invaluable to my practice. The one on one sessions on the phone were the best medium for learning rather than being one of many students in a class. I had the privledge of learning from Gian Paolo personally, and being on the phone rather than in person enabled me to focus more deeply on what I was learning in each particular class. These classes were some of the best learning experiences I have ever had. I highly recommend these to anyone who wants to have an in depth learning experience with a man of great knowledge. Suzanne, Wellness Consultant, San Francisco -----------0----------- Dates for Upcoming Courses From the beginning, at UHA and BOI, we have worked with small groups or one-on-one. As a result, it has become clear to us that teaching a single student, is markedly superior to working with a group – even a small group. One-on-one teaching provides the best setting to help the student with the unique professional and personal challenges that could interfere with the achievement of his or her goals. This type of teaching/mentoring is extremely effective; though quite difficult to find these days. Mentoring provides the student with the maximum flexibility in scheduling. There is no need to wait for a predetermined date to begin a course, nor to commit to a rigid class schedule. The teacher and student simply meet on a weekly basis at a time and date that is suitable for both. -----------0----------- Highway 1, California Photographer: Ricardo Girardi Private Studies The student can choose to pursue a 5-month Certification or the 18-month Masters in Holistic Studies on an individual basis -- one-on-one with his or her instructor. There is valuable benefits to private studies; the student enjoys live, one on one personal sessions with the teacher (if he/she lives in Los Angeles County), two ways videophone interaction online, or one on one phone classes anywhere in the world. For more information please call 310-455-6815 or 818-508-1720 -----------0----------- How I Got My Brain Back This is the transcript of a video, (hence the coloquial English) recorded by Gian Paolo Girardi, MS, MA, founder of the Brain Optimization Institute and the University of Healing Arts. Hi, Thanks for watching. What I am about to share with you here is, possibly, the most painful experience I have had during this lifetime. I tell this personal story with hope that it will improve the lives of individuals suffering from brain disorders. I especially hope to influence the lives of children and their parents. I was born in Santiago, Chile and grew up in a farm with pure air, clean water and abundant food. My mother, of Spanish origin, was a bridge teacher and is to this day, admired for her intelligence. My father was Italian and was also intellectually quite sharp. He graduated from high school at 16 and received a degree in agricultural engineering. So, partly due to good genes, but also because of growing up in a healthy environment, I developed a fairly good brain. When I was seventeen, in order to attend University, I took the SAT test. As it was customary in Chile the results were published in the main newspaper of Santiago. I was pleasantly surprised to see that I had obtained one of the highest scores in the country: 725 for math and 796 for verbal abilities. Years later, I learned that SAT numbers correlate with IQ. My SAT numbers were indicative of an IQ of 153, in the 99.97th percentile of the population. So, no doubt that, at least at that point in time, I had a healthy brain. With those scores, I could choose any university and career I wanted. I decided to study engineering and signed up for the most prestigious engineering school in Chile. For many years, I did well in my studies. However, during my fifth year in engineering I became very interested in yoga and embraced the ovo-lacto vegetarian diet. I had grown up eating massive amounts of red meat -- after all my father also raised cattle. Perhaps I rushed into these changes too quickly; Just a year into my new diet I began to notice a significant decrease in my concentration. When taking tests at school I developed a tendency to make one mistake after another. My grades descended and I even failed a course that my friends passed without problem. I finally graduated, but my last two years were a struggle. My lack of concentration gradually got worse. To make matters worse, my lifestyle became significantly ungrounded. I was meditating three hours a day, but my life was not improving. At the age of 28, I experienced a brief breakthrough in my meditations. For about four months I was in joy all day long for no reason at all. It was an interesting experience in unconditional joy. However, it was also a prelude to the worst years of my life. One day, without warning, I had a panic attack. The joy was gone and it was replaced by a state of constant anxiety that lasted for many, many years. In fact, years later, when I took the Burns Anxiety Inventory, I scored more than 50 points, which indicates “extreme anxiety.” I was experiencing the most uncomfortable anxiety symptoms, day and night. At thirty, I married, and my wife and I decided to try for a better life in the United States. I always had great admiration and appreciation for this country so, that same day, immediately after the marriage ceremony, we flew to LA. Upon my arrival in LA, my anxiety continued and worsened. One of the most painful symptoms was exhaustion. As an immigrant, during the first years I had to do intense physical work. Survival became a very painful challenge. I tried introspection, affirmations, more meditation, breathing techniques every five minutes, psychotherapy, but nothing was really helping -- I was just barely coping. When I was 35, I injured myself on a job, demolishing walls in a house. At the chiropractor’s office, I found a brochure titled: “Hypoglycemia Can Create Anxiety.” I found a book on hypoglycemia at the bookstore that described most of my symptoms, persuading me to try the diet recommended in the book. I didn't even have to abandon my vegetarian diet. In three days I felt a new person! I was really surprised at the power of a simple nutritional intervention. Now that I had more energy, I signed up for a Masters Degree in psychology and in a few years I obtained the MFT license from the State of California, to practice psychotherapy. With the new diet, most of my anxiety symptoms were gone, but, my attention deficit was virtually intact. I took the TOVA test and scored positive. The Tova test is the most reliable and objective test to diagnose ADD. I took it again and I scored positive again. There was no doubt that I had a full blown ADD. ADD is supposed to be a disorder starting at childhood. However, as I learned nutritional mistakes can result in a full blown ADD, at any age. About six years ago a friend of mine -- Larry Richardson, an Acupuncturist -- introduced me to the concept of brain nutrition. I began using supplements and in a month, took the TOVA test again. This time my scores in attention and impulse control were not only normal but ABOVE normal. The ADD had completely vanished. I continue taking my brain supplements every day, at maintenance levels. I include fish in my diet and very occasionally some poultry or red meat. I work more than 65 hours a week. The brain I was originally blessed with has completely returned. In fact, I would dare to say that -- despite the fact that IQ is supposed to decrease as we age – today, thanks to a sensible diet, the brain supplements and continual intellectual stimulation, I feel that my brain is sharper than when I was young. In my own healing journey I opted for nutrition over medication -- I can’t tell you how happy I am in this decision. Despite a high IQ, I have done stupid things like everyone, however, the decision to avoid the pharmaceuticals and use brain nutrition was a very, very intelligent decision. Thanks to that decision, today I have my brain back.

Just follow this link) Quotes from the power of Self-Caring By Gian Paolo Girardi, MA, MFT, founder, Brain Optimization Institute and the University of Healing Arts. This book gives you the understanding of how to transform your life and provides the scientific instruments to measure your weekly progress. The book is a powerful form of self-help therapy. “Self-Caring has been scientifically proven to correlate with higher levels of happiness. Taking good care of oneself – with all of its subtleties – is the surest way to stay healthy and feeling good. I urge you to learn the art of self-caring.” “Neglecting your nutrition is likely to result in neurotransmitter deficiencies, making the attempt to keep thoughts positive difficult, if not impossible; no matter how hard you try. Conversely, indulging in frequent negative thinking about yourself, the world and your circumstances, will make happiness elude you, regardless of how perfect your diet may be. Both forms of caring for yourself – good nutrition and positive thoughts – are vital, and they support each other.” “If you systematically apply yourself to improving the way you take care of yourself, you are likely to make remarkable progress in the way you feel – in a few months you may not even recognize yourself. However, do not underestimate the challenge of Self-Caring. How many times have you made New Year’s resolutions, and then failed to keep them? Using the professional services of a Life Coach to support your efforts is an intelligent way to secure your success.” Gian Paolo Girardi, MS, MA, UHA/BOI Founder You can download this book for FREE by signing up to our email list.

By participating online, our students do not need waste time and energy coming to our offices. Therefore, they do not spend in gasoline, contaminate, and contribute to global warming. The same is valid for our teachers -- by broadcasting the classes from home they do not need to commute to teach a class. An interesting example is the case of the founders; their cars move so little that a tank of gasolline last them more than a month! ADDITIONALLY, UHA/BOI are close to become completely paperless organizations. San Francisco, California Photographer: Ricardo Girardi -----------0----------- What is Brain Nutrition and Why it Is so Crucial According to solid scientific research and clinical experience, anyone suffering from depression, anxiety, ADHD, substance abuse, chronic pain, or any form of mental or brain issue, can derive established benefit, by using a drug-free, affordable nutritional approach. The Brain Optimization Institute’s philosophy, based on the research and clinical experience, is that nutrition should be an essential part of any serious attempt to improve mental health and brain functioning. We have found a powerful and effective Brain Nutrition approach based on both the latest research and years of clinical experience. This approach is designed to safely and effectively optimize two of the most powerful systems in the human body – the neurotransmitters in the brain and the glucose pathway in the body and brain. Neurotransmitters are powerful chemicals, critical to the correct functioning of the brain. Unfortunately, many of our actions and habits can compromise their proper and balanced presence. Deficient diet, lack of physical exercise, job dissatisfaction, conflictive interpersonal relationships, heavy metals in the environment; can each, over time, create neurotransmitter deficiencies in the brain. Considering that the brain controls and affects every single aspect of our lives, nurturing and caring for our brain, as if our life depends upon it, is the epitome of good common sense. -----------0----------- Yosemite, California Photographer: Ricardo Girardi Can I Help Others and Myself Through Brain Nutrition?

UHA's Masters in Holistic Studies is the best preparation available today for those interested in living and teaching a holistic life -- a life of inner harmony between the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of life. The student that succeeds at completing the Masters in Holistic Studies is uniquely well prepared to work as a Life Coach, or as a Psychology Counselor, Nutritional Counselor or Spiritual Psychology Counselor.

We help our student develop marketing skills during our one day intensive on "How to Create a Private Practice in the Healing Arts" -----------0----------- Yosemite. California 2002 Photographer: Ricardo Girardi What Is Unique about UHA's Certification in Spiritual Psychology Counseling with Emphasis in Non-Duality In this course the student leans about the most enlightened and up to date spiritual psychology paradigms, with special focus on non-duality -- a manifestation of the Truth that is truly relevant to today’s challenges. Although all serious spiritual teachings point to the same Truth, their effectiveness depends on whether the language used is simple, practical, and relevant to the current times and culture. We offer our students a highly personalized training and attention throughout the whole program. The course content is not a one-sided approach that boxes the student's creativity, thinking and spiritual development. On the contrary, this course is a presentation and application of a multi-paradigm approach to Spiritual Psychology Counseling, conducive to the expression of the student’s unique creativity, and intuition. Classes are held online and offline. -----------0----------- The Significance of Our Names: University of Healing Arts and Brain Optimization™ Institute Aside from the obvious meaning of both names, they represent the two apparently conflictive right and left activities of the brain. The University of Healing Arts offers predominantly right brain, intuitively oriented courses, like the Certification and Masters Programs in "Life Coaching with emphasis in the Mystical Path" and "Spiritual Psychology with emphasis in Non-duality. "The Brain Optimization™ Institute is part of the University of Healing Arts, and focuses predominantly on left brain, scientifically oriented courses, like the Certification and the Masters in Nutrition with emphasis in Brain Nutrition Counseling™. To become well-rounded individuals we need to develop both hemispheres of the brain. -----------0----------- What is Unique about the Psychology Counseling 5 month Course with Certification at UHA This unique program presented at the University of Healing Arts is based on the most up to date, cutting edge psychological paradigm founded on the principle of letting go (the Mystical Path), rather than grasping (Methaphysics). The student receives uniquely personalized training and attention throughout the whole program - mentoring classes, one on one, in person or through the internet via Skype. They learn a most unique approach to Self-Caring not available anywhere: a grand unifying paradigm, that encompasses powerful contemporary self-development methods addressing the self at all levels - physically, mentally and spiritually. This unifying paradigm, was born out of our own research at the Brain Optimization Institute, a subsidiary of the University of Healing Arts, and proves a deceptively simple, but powerful truth: “There is a significant correlation between Self-Caring and Happiness.” Simply put, the better our self care the happier we are likely to be. Additionally, Self-Caring is fundamental to the attainment of meaningful goals. This is not a psychology counseling program merely focused on short-term goals, like to help the client feel somewhat better. It is a system capable of bringing forth profound transformation, at multiple levels, first in the student and then in their clients. Inability to live an authentic life - setting and pursuing meaningful goals in harmony with our true self - leads to psychopathology. Our students learn how to prevent and heal psychopathology. When psychology counseling is rightly understood and applied, it is a powerful healing art. Therefore, at UHA we aim at preparing a counselor that is also a healer of body, mind and soul. Our students learns counseling paradigms and techniques designed to identify and facilitate the manifestation of authentic, personal goals and potential. A career in counseling at UHA offers vital opportunities and knowledge for personal development, as well as an exciting field of study and work. In addition to the research mentioned above, this course with certification as a psychology counselor is the result of thirty years of intense self-development work, and eighteen years of experience in clinical psychotherapy. The result has been a combination of fundamental paradigms and methods, working harmoniously to help the client move quickly from the suffering of the victim state, to the relief of the victor state, and finally to the freedom of the vehicle state. Is the Masters in Holistic Studies for You? From a marketing standpoint, when a new client calls you, and you disclose to him or her, that you have a Masters degree from the University of Healing Arts -- which took you a year and a half to complete -- is obviously advantageous. So, a unique value of our five month certifications is your option to apply it towards the completion of a Masters Degree in Holistic Studies. All our certification courses are offered online and in person, in groups or one on one. -----------0----------- Monterrey Aquarium California
