The Burned-Out Founder
Alex, 42, Fintech CEO
"I spent years thinking I could out-hustle my own biology. I thought the brain fog and the decision fatigue were just the 'price of admission' for a CEO in 2026. Lumina didn't just give me a coach; they gave me a dashboard for my own mind. Seeing my HRV data and using the VR stress simulations made me realize that my performance wasn't a matter of willpower—it was a matter of regulation. I’m making better decisions now than I was ten years ago, and I’m actually sleeping through the night to enjoy the results."
Primary Challenge
Alex presented with "Quiet Burnout." Despite a successful exit, he suffered from profound decision fatigue, chronic insomnia, and a total loss of creative "spark." His baseline QEEG showed a "Hyper-Aroused" Prefrontal Cortex—his brain simply couldn't turn off.
Baseline Data
Baseline QEEG showed a "Hyper-Aroused" Prefrontal Cortex (PFC); HRV baseline was 35ms, indicating chronic sympathetic dominance.
The result
Alex achieved a complete restoration of his sleep architecture. By Week 12, his "Cognitive Friction" scores had dropped significantly, allowing him to lead 4-hour strategy sessions without the subsequent 48-hour "fatigue hangover."
