The Busy Brain Cure: The Eight-Week Plan to Find Focus, Tame Anxiety, and Sleep Againby Romie Mushtaq

The Busy Brain Cure: The Eight-Week Plan to Find Focus, Tame Anxiety, and Sleep Again

by Romie Mushtaq

Noted neurologist and Chief Wellness Officer Dr. Romie Mushtaq reveals the hidden connection between insomnia, anxiety, and adult ADD/ADHD – and gives you a science-backed plan to heal burnout and your Busy Brain in just 8 weeks.

Do racing thoughts keep you from falling asleep at night? Is it impossible to focus, even on tasks that used to stimulate you? Are you mindlessly stress-eating throughout the day?

These are signs that you have a “Busy Brain,” a term coined by triple-board certified physician Dr. Romie Mushtaq to describe a brain riddled with anxiety, insomnia, and ADD/ADHD.

Dr. Romie’s interest in the co-existence of these symptoms began while she was practicing neurology. It deepened after she was rushed into life-saving surgery and finally forced to acknowledge the toll that chronic stress had taken on her life.

Determined to heal after conventional medicine failed her, Dr. Romie embarked on a mission to unearth the truth about stress responses in our bodies and brains. The Busy Brain Cure is the culmination of 20+ years of clinical research as a brain doctor and experience in corporate wellness as a Chief Wellness Officer.

The book offers a practical, science-based approach to healing your Busy Brain through a straightforward 8-week protocol that anyone can implement.

The Busy Brain Cure will show you how to:

  • Improve focus and energy without coffee and stimulants
  • Fall asleep and stay asleep
  • Address the underlying cause of anxiety, insomnia, and adult ADD
  • Manage bloating and stress-eating without a diet or cleanse
  • Treat and heal chronic stress and burnout
  • Alleviate the burnout crisis in your workplace


With her characteristic wit and sass, Dr. Romie sheds light on the science of chronic stress and neuroinflammation through personal anecdotes and humor. Written for high-performing individuals who need a lasting cure for their Busy Brain, this book is changing the conversation around wellness, success, and performance.
