You took the Busy Brain Test. Now what…?
The results are in. Master the science and micro-habits behind the brainSHIFT protocol.
Once you’ve had a chance to try out some of the brainSHIFTs I cover below, I encourage you to retake the Busy Brain Test to see how your score improves.
Understanding Your Busy Brain Test Results
What is Dr. Romie’s Busy Brain Test?
The Busy Brain Test is a validated neuropsychology stress test that measures the effect of stress on cognition, mood, sleep, and physical health.
Which category do you fit into?
brainPOWER
score less than 30
Congratulations! You’re part of the exceptional 8% of test-takers who are remarkable stress managers. This means you display emotional resilience and possess effective stress management skills that allow you to maintain a positive mental attitude, no matter what comes your way.
You are likely to find that you can process your emotions effectively, perform under pressure, and manage your current life stressors with ease.
Continue implementing and perhaps even amplifying your stress management strategies. This can include maintaining your physical health, adhering to healthy sleep routines, and practicing mindfulness to enhance your brainPOWER further.
brainDRAIN
score 30-40
If you’re in this category, making up around 10% of test-takers, you might often feel mentally drained despite getting rest and enough sleep.
You may experience a sense of fatigue and find it difficult to focus, feeling both physically tired and mentally wired. You might notice that your usual pick-me-ups like caffeine, exercise, or a full night’s sleep no longer recharge you like they used to.
Start implementing the brainSHIFT protocol, particularly the 3/30 brainBREAK challenge. These techniques can help cure your Busy Brain and restore your energy, focus, and productivity levels.
brainSTRAIN
score 41-70
If your score falls within this range, you’re part of the majority (over 82%) of test-takers. High levels of stress are straining your mental, hormonal, and physical health. If your score is above 60, you need to be extra careful as you are at a higher risk of burnout.
If you’re dealing with brainSTRAIN or at risk of burnout, your Busy Brain might be affecting your mood, sleep, weight, digestion, and hormones. In extreme cases, you might already be experiencing burnout and facing memory, mood, and physical health issues.
Implementing the brainSHIFT protocol can help lower inflammation in your brain and body, leading to improved health in less than 8 weeks. If your symptoms persist or worsen, consider consulting with a professional.

Chronic stress in our lives causes Busy Brain. And unfortunately, it’s not always easy to get off the chronic stress hamster wheel. Many of us become addicted to the stress-success cycle, using it as a coping mechanism rather than taking action to fix our Busy Brains.
But you can change that with the brainSHIFT Protocol.
The 7-Day brainSHIFT Sleep Challenge
The very foundation of the brainSHIFT Protocol is SLEEP. Sleep is so crucial to our well-being because it impacts every single system in our body. That’s why we always start by examining your sleep and taking steps to improve it.
Here’s how to do it:
For the next 7-days, commit to your sleep by taking the steps below. For even better results, keep it going for 14-days.
Step 1: Sleep Schedule
Sleep Schedule: For one week, go to sleep and wake up at the same time each day. Doing this reinforces your body’s natural circadian rhythm.
Step 2: Digital Detox
Digital Detox: Avoid using digital devices for at least 30 minutes before bedtime (60+ minutes is even better). This includes your phone, TV, laptop, and Kindle.
Step 3: brainDUMP
Use an old-fashioned pen and paper to get racing thoughts out of your head and onto paper before bed. Include to-do lists, worries, exciting ideas, etc.
Step 4: brainPAUSE
Use meditation to process thoughts and emotions. Guided techniques help you shift from digital chaos to a sense of tranquility before bed.
