Christoffel Sneijders on the Deepak Saini Podcast
In the Netherlands, where there are many tunnels, no one would ever think to worry that a tunnel might break down while inside because the construction is known to be excellent. One day, Christoffel Sneijders once encountered a man who had a strong fear of going through them. Christoffel had a strong desire to help the struggling man, but unfortunately, his attempts proved unsuccessful. He thought he knew a lot but soon came to realize that the opposite was true.
From the moment of encountering the man struggling to enter the tunnel, Christoffel started to follow Hypnotherapy and other energy-healing modalities. He wondered how it was possible that some people could be incapable of going from one place to another. On a personal level, he wanted to understand why he could not just let go of certain phobias and limiting beliefs. Logically, we don’t have fears, yet we still have them. Christoffel became aware that what we think and what we feel are two different stories. Thus began the Somatic part of his education, which tied all of this together.
After living in Australia for ten years, Christoffel immigrated back to Spain in 2020. There he decided to put all his knowledge into coaching. Now a renowned expert in human behavior and transformative change with a rich background in Psychotherapy, Clinical Hypnotherapy, Somatic Therapy, Energy Therapy, Coaching, and NLP, Christoffel empowers clients worldwide to overcome challenges such as leadership issues, burnout, PTSD, anxiety, trauma, and addictions.
In this podcast episode of the Deepak Saini show, Deepak interviews Christoffel Sneijders, discussing our 3 brains – how they have different responsibilities, and how they make a difference in our personal health, happiness, and success.
At the international coaching school he founded, the 3 Brains Intelligence©™ Academy, Christoffel trains how to align the 3 brains: the head’s wisdom, the heart’s passion, and the gut’s intuition.
- Our heart, guided by empathy and connection, prioritizes the impact our decisions have on others.
- Our gut, our “personal hustler”, focuses on self-preservation and drives us to get things done for ourselves.
- Our head serves as our strategic planner, offering logical reasoning and analysis to deliver the best strategy or predictive outcome possible.
They operate with positive intentions; their only objective is to let us live and flourish. However, when one brain dominates the decision-making, it creates discord among the others, potentially disrupting or even derailing our plans.
This dynamic, this internal “conflict” is at the core of our successes and struggles. By recognizing and effectively balancing these 3 voices, we can harness their collective power to make decisions that are not only productive but also holistic and well-rounded. This is what he calls the 3 Brains Intelligence©™.
Christoffel also discusses his bestseller book on the topic – Relationships? Which Brain is talking?: The Ultimate Guide to Happy, Healthy & Successful Relationships.

Deepak Saini
For as far back as he can remember, Deepak Saini struggled with his weight. At one point in his life, he was morbidly obese at 270+ pounds, always in pain and constantly getting sick with an autoimmune condition.
In 2012, Deepak took matters into his own hands, educated himself, and made small changes to his lifestyle. The real turning point for him was in 2014 when he injured his back. In trying to heal himself and get back to the activities he loved doing, he learned about eating a low-inflammatory diet. He was able to lose 60 pounds of fat in a few months without really trying.
Now, Deepak never gets sick, has no joint pain, and feels healthier and more energized than ever before. He lost over 100 pounds, healed his back, and solved his autoimmune issues.
Instead of being average, his goal is to be an exceptionally healthy and functional Centenarian.
Now that he has found the secret that works, he is never looking back. Deepak wants you to join him in becoming a Centenarian. He helps people optimize their mental, physical, and financial performance.
