Meet the local company giving your mind a workout, and the podcast that’ll have you rethinking what’s possible by next Tuesday.

We all know the value of hitting the gym, going for a run, or keeping our bodies in shape. But what about our minds? That’s where NESTRE Health & Performance, right here in Orlando, is changing the game.

Founded by Dr. Tommy Shavers—a former UCF football player whose own journey through serious concussions led him to rebuild his mental and cognitive health—NESTRE focuses on training from the neck up. Think of it as a workout for your brain, designed to help you think clearer, feel calmer, and handle life with more resilience.

Whether you’re chasing a big career goal, competing at a high level in sports, or just trying to keep up with the demands of everyday life, NESTRE’s training programs are designed to meet you where you are.

Why Mental Fitness Matters More Than Ever
In today’s nonstop, fast-paced world, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, distracted, or mentally drained. Between juggling work, family, social media, and everything else life throws at us, our brains often get pushed to their limits. Mental fatigue isn’t just “being tired” — it can affect your memory, decision-making, mood, and even how you relate to the people around you.

That’s why mental fitness is so important. Just like your body needs exercise to stay strong, your brain needs training to stay sharp and resilient. NESTRE is a leader in mental and cognitive strength training, leveraging neuroscience, AI, and machine learning to deliver personalized solutions that help athletes perform at their best.

Taking care of your mind means better performance, better relationships, and a better quality of life. And who doesn’t want that?

NESTRE offers several ways to get started, including In-Person Mental and Cognitive strength  training sessions at the Lake Nona Performance Club located on the second floor! Come in and get direct mental and cognitive training and take the  NESTRE Mindset Profile which is a unique assessment that reveals how your mind prefers to experience the world! 

If you want to experience NESTRE before you come into the NESTRE neuro labs for training, you can join the Mental Workout Movement by subscribing to the NESTRE app! At NESTRE, we are making mind and brain fitness a lifestyle through the app that was built to train and maintain your mental and cognitive strength. The NESTRE App provides daily exercises designed to train your mindset, focus, memory, attention and overall mental  performance any time of the day wherever you go!
