Dr. Katrina J. Banks, PT, DPT, NCS is a board-certified neurologic physical therapist, brain health strategist, and founder of Neurologic Optimal Wellness, a company dedicated to helping individuals and organizations understand how fatigue, sleep, and cognitive strain affect brain performance.
With a clinical background in neurologic rehabilitation, Dr. Banks has spent years working with individuals recovering from stroke, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, and other complex neurologic conditions. Through this work, she observed a consistent pattern: many of the challenges people face; mental fatigue, brain fog, reduced clarity, and poor recovery are often driven by disruptions in brain energy, sleep quality, and nervous system regulation.
This realization led her to expand beyond traditional rehabilitation and focus on brain health optimization and cognitive performance.
Through Neurologic Optimal Wellness, Dr. Banks provides brain health education, BrainTap technology experiences, and programs designed to support nervous system recovery, mental clarity, and sustainable performance. She also works with organizations and leadership teams to explore how fatigue and cognitive strain impact decision-making, productivity, and overall workplace well-being.
Dr. Banks is also the author of Rest Is Power, a book that explores the neuroscience of fatigue, the importance of restorative rest, and practical strategies to reclaim mental clarity in high-demand environments.
Her work bridges clinical neuroscience, performance psychology, and practical strategies for restoring brain energy in a world that often pushes people to operate beyond their neurological limits.
