Are you tired of accepting that vision problems, learning struggles, or cognitive decline are just “part of life”?Ready to rebel against the idea that your brain can’t learn new tricks at any age? Then this episode is going to blow your mind!
Today’s guest, Dr. Dana Dean, is here to challenge everything you think you know about vision – and rebels, this goes WAY beyond needing glasses. We’re talking about a complete paradigm shift in how your brain processes information, learns new skills, and reaches its full potential.
🔥 The rebellious truth about vision: It’s learned – which means it can be retrained and optimized throughout your entire life
🧠 Why 75% of all sensory input is vision – and how nobody teaches us to handle this massive information stream properly
💥 How 2 in 4 children have undiagnosed vision-related learning issues that often get mislabeled as ADHD or other conditions
⚡ The real story behind Stroke recovery: How patients can rewire neural pathways through vision training when traditional Therapy plateaus
🎯 Visual memory vs. rote memorization – the game-changing difference that transforms how you learn and remember
🚀 Why primitive reflexes matter for adults – and how something as simple as crawling can unlock better cognitive function
✨ The connection between C-sections and learning difficulties – plus how to address these challenges at any age
“Vision is so much more than eyesight. It’s how our brain and our eyes and our body connect together.” Dr. Dean
“Sometimes the most rebellious thing we can do is refuse to accept limitations that don’t actually have to exist.” Greg
“The magic happens in what we don’t see – peripheral vision, focusing systems, visual memory. All of these tools are really the unseen, and that’s where all the magic is.” Dr. Dean
Here’s what the medical establishment doesn’t always tell you: Vision is learned. While conventional Wisdom says you’re stuck with the vision you’re born with (plus whatever glasses can fix), the research shows something completely different.
Dr. Dean reveals how vision training can help:
This isn’t just another wellness trend – it’s a paradigm shift in understanding human potential.
From struggling student to vision revolutionary, Dr. Dean’s personal story proves that limitations don’t have to be permanent. After being a straight-A student in South Africa, she hit a wall in later years of school, barely made it through college, and then failed her optometry boards three times.
The turning point? Discovering vision training. After just six months of working on her own vision intelligence, she retook the boards and scored nearly perfect. That experience transformed not just her career, but her entire mission to help others break free from unnecessary limitations.
✓ Rebels ready to challenge cognitive decline as “normal Aging”
✓ Parents of kids struggling in school (with or without diagnoses)
âś“Â Anyone dealing with stroke, concussion, or brain injury recovery
âś“Â People experiencing balance issues, memory concerns, or vision changes
✓ Adults who want to expand their cognitive abilities instead of watching them contract
✓ Anyone labeled with “learning disabilities” who suspects there might be more to the story
Dr. Dean offers both in-person and online vision training sessions, plus she’s developing workshops on different aspects of vision intelligence including:
Don’t settle for a world that keeps getting smaller. Your brain can learn new visual skills at any age, and your future self will thank you for not accepting limitations that don’t actually have to exist.

Sometimes the most rebellious thing we can do is question what we’ve been told is “just the way things are.” Whether you’re dealing with learning challenges, cognitive changes, or simply want to optimize your brain’s potential – vision intelligence might be the paradigm shift you’ve been looking for.
Keep questioning, keep exploring, and remember: limitations that don’t actually have to exist are meant to be challenged.
That’s what rebellious wellness is all about.
Stay rebellious,
Gregory Anne
