Neuroscience-Based Training for brain health and Workforce
Who We Are
Nourish the Brain Institute is an accredited workforce training institution specializing in brain health, mental wellness, and evidence-based behavioral education. Founded by neuroscientist Dr. Gemi Bertran, the Institute was created from a lifelong commitment to strengthening mental resilience and improving human performance through science, nutrition, and preventive brain-health strategies.
Our programs combine neuroscience, nutritional psychiatry, behavioral science, and practical tools to strengthen the mental well-being of individuals, families, and communities.
Our Mission
To elevate human potential by training a new generation of professionals who understand brain health, mental wellness, and behavioral optimization—and can deliver effective peer support across diverse settings.
Our Vision
Our online programs are designed to fit into your busy schedule. We offer flexible scheduling options to help students balance learning with other commitments.
WHY WE EXIST
Nourish the Brain Institute was founded as the result of a promise.
In 2004, during a critical moment while traveling to Haiti to rescue her daughter, Dr. Bertran was flown into Port-au-Prince by the U.S. Air Force. On that flight, she made a commitment: one day, she would dedicate her work to serving those who serve others.
Years later, after a major health crisis left her temporarily unable to move and traditional medicine offered no solutions, she turned to the science of brain health, neuro-nutrition, and behavior. Her recovery became the foundation of the methodologies now taught at NTBI.
Today, the Institute fulfills both promises—restoring brain health and giving back to service members, veterans, families, and communities across the country.
