Brain Conditions

What is Neurologic Health?

Neurologic health refers to the proper functioning and well-being of the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. This system controls everything from thoughts and emotions to movements and bodily functions.

What Causes Brain Conditions?

Neurologic health disorders or brain conditions arise from a variety of causes, including:

• Genetic predispositions
• Infections
• Trauma
• Lifestyle factors
• Environmental exposures

To expound on the list above, your neurologic health can suffer from stroke, traumatic brain injury, neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, infections like Lyme disease, autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, toxicity such as mold and heavy metals, and metabolic disorders like diabetes. 

Other factors like chronic stress, poor diet, and lack of sleep can also negatively impact your neurologic health.

Symptoms of Brain Conditions

Signs of neurologic health disorders can be diverse and often depend on the specific condition. 

Common symptoms include:

• Chronic headaches
• Dizziness
• Numbness or tingling in your extremities
• Muscle weakness
• Loss of coordination
• Memory loss
• Confusion
• Difficulty concentrating
• Changes in mood or behavior
• Brain fog

More severe symptoms can include seizures, vision problems, speech difficulties, and paralysis.

Supporting Neurologic & Nervous System Health Through Lifestyle

• Healthy diet - support your brain health with a glycemically-balanced diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids.
• Regular exercise - engage in physical activity to improve blood flow to your brain, reduce inflammation, and promote the growth of new brain cells. Move your body for at least 150 minutes weekly.
• Mental stimulation - keep your brain active by learning new skills, dancing, and playing musical instruments to enhance cognitive function.
• Adequate sleep - quality sleep is essential for cognitive processes and overall brain health. Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night, and maintain a regular sleep schedule.
• Stress management - options include mindfulness, meditation, prayer, yoga, and deep breathing exercises to reduce chronic stress, which can harm the nervous system.

Integrative Therapies for Brain Conditions

We offer many advanced integrative therapies for neurologic health. Our team can discuss with you what therapies are most effective for healing your specific neurologic concerns.

• HBOT (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) -  helps heal the neurologic system by increasing oxygen delivery to the brain, stimulating blood vessel growth, and reducing inflammation.
• EBOO therapy - our strongest therapy for neurologic patients who need detox and immune support
• IV Ketamine therapy - our strongest mind-body therapy for resetting the neurologic system, especially good for depression, trauma, anxiety, and neuropathic pain.
• IV NAD+ - supports neurological health by boosting cellular energy, improving mitochondrial function, and promoting neuronal regeneration.
• Ozone therapy - improves neurological health by reducing inflammation, enhancing cellular oxygenation, and supporting immune health.
• IV therapy - delivers essential micronutrients into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system and ensuring optimal absorption for brain function and repair.
• Bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT) - restoring hormone balance for both men and women can address issues related to your cognitive function, mood, and overall brain health.
• B12 (methylcobalamin) injections - ideal form of B12 for nerve inflammation and nerve healing
• Oral therapies - options include professional grade nutraceuticals, herbal therapy, compounded medications such as Methylene Blue, and peptide therapies

Your First Neurologic Health Visit: What to Expect

During your first visit to our clinic, our team will order blood testing including micronutrient, inflammation, hormone levels, and insulin resistance markers that are key to optimize for neurologic health. We will also review your risk for chronic infections, digestive dysbiosis, and toxicity which may be driving your neurologic symptoms, and go over which oral treatments, therapies, and lifestyle changes can best address your neurologic health goals.
