ExoMind - Rewire Your Brain for Better Health

We often think of the brain as something that declines passively with age — a slow, unavoidable slide into forgetfulness, stress reactivity, or brain fog. We’re told to do puzzles or memory games to “stay sharp,” and while those are fine, they barely scratch the surface of what the brain is capable of.
At Foundations at Maitland, we’re now offering a therapy that taps directly into the brain’s most powerful mechanism for change: neuroplasticity. It’s called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, or TMS — and we’ve adapted it into something even more personalized: ExoMind.
Let’s take a closer look at what TMS is, why it matters, and how ExoMind is helping patients think more clearly, sleep more deeply, and break free from destructive habits.
Understanding Neuroplasticity
Neuroplasticity is your brain’s ability to rewire itself. It’s what allows babies to learn languages, form habits, and master motor skills at lightning speed. Their brains are incredibly flexible, constantly forming new neural connections.
As we age, that plasticity declines. Our brain becomes more efficient — but also more rigid. Habits become harder to break. Emotional regulation becomes more challenging. Sleep becomes less restorative. We’re told to do brain games and Sudoku and crossword puzzles, and while those things keep the mind active, they don’t stimulate plasticity.
That’s where TMS comes in.
What Is TMS?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive therapy that uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate specific regions of the brain. It was developed in the 1980s and received FDA approval in 2008 for treatment-resistant depression.
TMS has been studied for decades, with thousands of research articles supporting its safety and efficacy — not just for depression, but also for conditions related to sleep, stress, cognition, food addiction, and compulsive behavior.
The magnetic stimulation helps “wake up” parts of the brain that may be underactive or stuck in unhelpful loops, allowing new, healthier pathways to form. This is real, active neuroplasticity — not just maintenance, but transformation.
Traditional TMS vs ExoMind
While traditional TMS is effective, it does have limitations:
It requires wearing a large helmet-like device, which can feel bulky or even claustrophobic.
Treatment must be delivered daily for 30 to 36 days, which is difficult for most people to commit to.
The magnetic pulse is weaker, so treatments are longer and less efficient.
At Foundations, we’ve upgraded this approach with our ExoMind protocol, designed specifically for clients already focused on optimizing their health:
We use a stronger magnetic coil for deeper, more effective brain stimulation.
Treatments are shorter, more comfortable, and require fewer sessions.
The applicator is small and lightweight, simply resting on top of the head — no helmet or discomfort.
It’s a quick, painless in-office experience with no downtime.
The only patients who should avoid ExoMind are those with metal in the head (like cochlear implants) or an implanted pacemaker.
Who Benefits from ExoMind?
At Foundations, we use ExoMind to support patients seeking deeper mental and emotional alignment—especially when traditional treatments fall short. We especially think ExoMind will enhance mental wellness in the following two groups:
1. Hormone Optimization Clients
Many of our patients have their hormones balanced but still feel “off.” They struggle with:
Poor stress resilience
Low-quality sleep
Persistent brain fog
Feeling mentally tired despite normal labs
ExoMind helps reinforce the neural circuits that support emotional regulation, restful sleep, and cognitive clarity.
2. GLP-1 Weight Loss Clients
For patients on medications like Ozempic or Mounjaro:
Cravings often return once the drug is tapered off
Emotional eating patterns may linger
Fear of regaining weight is very real
TMS helps reset the brain’s reward pathways and enhance self-control over food — making long-term weight loss more sustainable.
The Results: What the Research Says
TMS is FDA-cleared for depression — but its benefits go far beyond that:
Mental Well-Being:
82% of patients with depression reported feeling less depressed at 3 months
75% felt happier and more positive
88% improved their mental well-being scores
Binge Eating and Food Cravings:
74% of patients had complete alleviation of binge eating at 1 month
87% reported better self-control over eating
Food cravings dropped by 74%
And one of the most common and immediate benefits reported? Better sleep. Deeper, more restorative, and more consistent.
The Bottom Line
You don’t have to be “broken” to benefit from brain therapy. Just like we optimize hormones, metabolism, and muscle tone — we can optimize how the brain functions.
Whether you’re dealing with brain fog, poor sleep, food compulsions, or just want to stay ahead of cognitive decline, ExoMind is a safe, science-backed way to rewire your brain for better health.
