Enriched with Alex Lombardi

And where the smallest edits become the architecture of a life that feels possible again.This episode walks you through:Why “high functioning” has nothing to do with luck and everything to do with systemsThe micro decisions that hold a brain that no longer functions the way it used toHow Alex engineered her lifestyle to hide limitations without avoiding themThe role of food order, diet, supplements, movement, and environmental designWhy real rest looks different for a rebuilding brainThe mistake people make when they stack too many changes at onceThe 21-day rule that rebuilt her routines, identity, and capacityHow to choose the one edit that genuinely moves your life forwardWhat it actually looks like to curate the 23 hours a day you’re on your ownWhy your life changes when you change what you controlTo get What You Build From Here on Amazon click ⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠.To join The Brain Edit™ Community click ⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠.To get on Alex’s Email List click ⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠.To connect with Alex on Instagram click ⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠.

Join Alex as she pulls back the curtain on the philosophy that reshaped her entire life and the lives of countless women inside The Brain Edit™. After three traumatic brain injuries, years of conflicting medical opinions, clean labs that didn’t match her lived experience, and a doctor finally admitting “your brain is pressing the gas and the brake at the same time,” Alex realized something no one was talking about:If you’re not talking about lifestyle, you’re not talking about recovery.And truthfully... if you’re not talking about lifestyle, you’re not talking about the life you’re building.This episode walks you through:The moment her doctor finally validated what she’d been doing for yearsWhy traditional recovery conversations leave out the biggest determining factor of healingHow the “other 23 hours of your day” quietly shape your capacityWhat no one tells you about decision fatigue, capacity collapse, motherhood after TBI, and the micro-choices that change everythingThe bridge between collapse and rebuilding — and why lifestyle becomes the blueprintThis is the foundation of The Brain Edit™. The part no doctor has time to walk you through. The part that puts your power back in your hands.To get What You Build From Here on Amazon click HERE.To join The Brain Edit Community click HERE.To get on Alex’s Email List click HERE.To connect with Alex on Instagram click HERE.
