Every driver chasing milliseconds. But what if your biggest advantage isn't in the car, it's in your mind? Today we're talking about NSDR and hypnosis, the cutting-edge mental performance tools that can help you recover faster, focus deeper, and perform sharper heading into your championship event. Hello, I'm Jeffrey Morta. If you're like most in NASCAR's top tiers, drivers, crews, owners, or executives, while you're busy chasing podiums, have you fully considered who's taking care of you? Right here, you're about to start transforming your mind and body for peak race day performance with high performance health, designed exclusively for the demands of NASCAR. As a certified high performance health coach and consulting hypnotist, I've coached elite entrepreneurs and athletes to higher energy, sharper focus, and greater resilience. Naturally, safely, and backed by science. And right now, I'm bringing that same engineered approach to the best in motorsports. Here you'll find no wasted time, just a unique blend of integrative health, mental conditioning, and proven recovery strategies delivered in plain language that you can use right away. Imagine a season without burnout, brain fog, or the costly crash of your health. Because the truth is the real race starts within. I'm grateful you're here. Yes, that's right. Welcome back to Breaking Boundaries for Champions, the podcast for savvy drivers, crews, and industry pros who know performance begins long before race day. Remember to subscribe so you never miss the strategies that fuel your body, your mind, and your results. I appreciate you being here and heading into the championship. Everyone's talking about horsepower, pit stops, entire strategy, but almost nobody's talking about mental recovery. The truth is your mind burns energy just like your muscles. After a long season of travel, adrenaline, and constant pressure, your nervous system is running hot. And you don't need more hype. What you do need is neural recovery. That's where NSDR, that stands for non-sleep deep rest, as well as clinical hypnosis, can come into play. So you might be wondering exactly what is NSDR? Well, it isn't meditation and it's not sleep, it's a scientifically validated method of dropping your brain into the same restorative states that you enter during deep sleep without actually falling asleep. Hence the name non-sleep deep rest. It activates the parasympathetic nervous system. Think of this as the brake pedal for your mind in your body. Now, in just 20 minutes, maybe even 10 minutes, you can lower your stress hormone cortisol. You can reset your excitatory neurotransmitter dopamine, and you can restore mental clarity. Think of it like a pit stop for your brain. 20 minutes of NSDR can recharge you quicker than an hour-long nap or faster than a Saturday night short track feature. Top performers like NASA, Navy SEALs, and elite athletes are already using it. And yes, it is backed by neuroscience. Now let's talk about clinical hypnosis because most people get the wrong impression. It is not mind control, it's not somebody making you cluck like a chicken. It's focused attention with enhanced suggestibility, if I could put it in its simplest terms. You're fully aware, but your subconscious becomes open to very specific instructions. And what that means is you can literally reprogram your stress response, sharpen your reaction time, and train your mind to enter the zone on demand. So in racing terms, it's like traction control for your brain. And it has science scientific-backed benefits as well. When you combine NSDR and clinical hypnosis, here's what happens physiologically. Your nervous system resets, reducing adrenaline spikes and mental fatigue. Brainwave states shift from high beta, which is the stress response, into the alpha and theta brain waves, which are associated with ease and flow. Heart rate variability improves. This is your resilience marker. And then you trigger the parasympathetic repair, turning off fight or flight and restoring your energy at the cellular level. And then finally, you reinforce new mental programs like calm under pressure, confidence, and focus. That's what makes this combination the ultimate off-season and even in-season advantage. Now let's clear up a few myths. NSDR isn't just for monks or biohackers, it's for anyone who needs mental clarity fast. And hypnosis doesn't make you lose control, it actually gives you more control over how you think, how you feel, and how you perform. Both methods are 100% natural and backed by decades of neuroscience and clinical research, and they can be practiced anywhere. Your hotel room, your hauler, or even track side before qualifying or before the green flag drops. So here's what I want you to do this week. Before your next race, schedule in your calendar two NSDR sessions per day, one midday and one before bed. You can even add an extra one in at any time you feel as though it's going to benefit you. And you can use guided audio or a simple timer. Now, how you use this is you close your eyes, you slow your breathing, and you let your mind drop into that restful state. And if you want to go deeper, add a short hypnosis protocol, focus on confidence, clarity, and peak performance cues. This combination helps you show up calm, clear, and fully present when the pressure peaks. And this is exactly what inspired our newest resource. Because you know, I don't want you to spend uh waste your time trying to find a resource online that may not be uh as specific as you need it to be. And our newest resource is the race ready focus featuring our proprietary neurospeed method. It's completely free, downloadable. It's a hypnosis-based performance program designed to help drivers and teams tap into focus and flow on command. It uses proven subconscious conditioning and NSDR principles to get your nervous system race ready in minutes, not in hours.
