You know what to do to enable better health. Eat better. Move more. Sleep smarter. So why aren’t you doing it?
If you’ve ever felt frustrated by the gap between your health goals and your daily reality, you’re not alone – and you’re not lazy. According to world-renowned clinical and research neuroscientist, and best-selling author Dr Caroline Leaf, the problem isn’t your willpower. It’s your wiring.
The good news? Dr Leaf has spent 40 years developing tools to fix exactly that and they’re now available to South Africans through Momentum Multiply, Momentum Health’s complete wellness rewards programme, giving members exclusive access to brain-rewiring technology once reserved for clinical settings.
“The mind is often the only real obstacle we face on our wellness journey. We can read all the books and listen to all the podcasts, but if we don’t believe we can change, we probably won’t,” explains Maria Carpenter, Head of Momentum Multiply. “Through our exclusive partnership with Dr Leaf, we’re bringing Neurocycle®, the #1 evidence-based mental health app to South Africans and giving them the neuroscience tools to rewire their habits. Because we know it’s not enough to simply know what to do, Neurocycle® and Dr Leaf guide you step by step through how to do it every day.”
Your brain is playdough, not concrete
The good news is that toxic thought patterns sabotaging your health goals aren’t permanent. Thanks to neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to rewire itself, you can literally change the mental circuits that drive stress-eating, skipped workouts, and restless nights.
Dr Leaf’s 5-step Neurocycle system guides users through a 63-day journey to identify, deconstruct, and replace unhealthy thinking patterns with empowering new ones. The scientifically researched guided detox helps users take back control over thoughts and life – with tangible shifts in weeks, not months.
In week one, users notice greater self-awareness and reduced emotional reactivity. By week three, those insights translate into real behavioural changes: better sleep quality, improved mood regulation, and newfound ability to stick to exercise routines. By week nine, healthy habits become automatic – no longer requiring exhausting amounts of willpower.
“Mental fatigue is often what derails routines,” Dr Leaf explains. Neurocycle helps people shift out of survival mode, making daily choices that extend healthspan feel more natural and effortless.”
Five minutes that change everything
Scientifically demonstrated to help manage and reduce anxiety, depression, and mental ill-health by up to 81%, for time-strapped South Africans, the beauty of Neurocycle® lies in its simplicity. Dr Leaf recommends just five minutes daily of Reflective Practice – a brief check-in where you gather awareness, name your emotions, and redirect spiralling thoughts before they trigger unhealthy behaviours.
“The small, consistent mental interventions fundamentally change how your brain responds to daily pressures,” says Dr Leaf.
After the initial 63-day cycle, maintaining results requires just 3-5 minutes daily. “Think of it like brushing your teeth,” Dr Leaf advises. “Short, consistent maintenance protects the progress you’ve made.”
Where knowledge meets action
Neurocycle® is now available to Momentum Multiply members as part of a broader movement recognising that mental wellbeing is foundational to lasting health.
“We’ve built our wellness rewards programme around mental wellbeing, sleep, movement, nutrition, and connection because they work together,” says Carpenter. “Neurocycle® unlocks the foundation. When you address mental wellbeing first, everything else follows. This partnership empowers our members to rewire how their brain responds to daily pressures, turning intention into lasting habits and, ultimately, into more health.”
