NJCAA announces Partnership with NESTRE Health and Performance
The Science of Better
More than 2 billion people worldwide face brain-based health and productivity challenges; and more than 70% of people have stress that impacts their mental or physical health, while $4 trillion in global wellness spending indicates people want solutions to help them get better.
NESTRE™ Health & Performance is a mental and cognitive strength training and solutions company that leverages neuroscience and AI/Machine Learning technology to personalize how people get better, feel better, and perform better.
NESTRE™ offers proprietary Neuroplasticity Strength Training and is the first NEuro-STREngth company to leverage the science of neuroplasticity, which states that the brain can change and is in a constant state of changing, learning, responding, and adapting. At NESTRE™, you can tap into your own ability to heal, recover, and strengthen yourself both mentally and cognitively.
Solutions at NESTRE™ are results-driven and successfully utilized by elite performers including NFL athletes and coaches, Olympians, and business executives.
This is Personal
The CEO & Founder of NESTRE™, Dr. Tommy Shavers, created a model of self-recovery and successfully healed himself from decade–long mental and cognitive impairment and decline after suffering career ending concussions as a collegiate football player.
Once he achieved what doctors deemed impossible, he aimed to create an efficient and scalable model to help others get better in the areas of brain health, mental wellness, and human performance. This breakthrough led to his discovery of the established science of neuroplasticity.
Dr. Shavers and the team at NESTRE™ are on a mission to change the narrative around mental health and cognitive performance and build a better world with the human in mind.

“As a retired NFL player who made the transition to start-up Co-Founder and company executive, the numerous stressors were placing a load on me that were impacting my health, wellness, and my ability to perform at a high level. Before NESTRE, I had high anxiety regularly and thoughts constantly racing in my head about the next big decision. I couldn’t sleep, had no appetite, and could recognize that my clarity was decreasing. Working with NESTRE has been a game changer for me. Training with NESTRE helped eliminate my anxiety, allowed me to actually be able to sleep at night, and gave me the clarity and sharpness I need to perform at a high level. Their insights have also helped me see performance differently. I now have the capacity and the knowledge to perform and stack wins in whatever situation I’m in. I wished NESTRE was around during my playing days because I know it would have been a difference maker for me. It’s [NESTRE] is the next evolution of human performance and I’m excited to be a part of it.”
