Neurological Conditions

The brain needs glucose (sugar), oxygen, and stimulation to function optimally. It is therefore very important to assess many facets that can affect these areas of brain health.

Without having an overt neurological diagnosis, it is still possible to experience many symptoms of impaired neurological function, such as:

• Memory impairment
• “Brain fog” or impaired mental clarity
• Fatigue
• Insomnia
• Headaches
• Numbness/tingling
• Muscle spasms
• Etc.

Finding out the root cause(s) of the condition is paramount to a successful treatment. This can include assessing for:

• Vitamin deficiencies (B12 especially plays an important role in neurological health)
• Mineral deficiencies (eg. Iron is important for carrying oxygen throughout the bloodstream)
• Oxygen saturation (how much oxygen the blood is carrying to tissues, including the brain)
• Digestive health (the “gut-brain” connection is well documented in the literature describing the interconnectedness of the health of one’s gastrointestinal system and their mental health)
• Thyroid disorders
• Anemia
• Blood sugar disorders
• Adrenal/Stress response
• Chronic infections (eg. Borreliosis, Mold, Ebstein-Barr Virus, etc)
• Heavy metal toxicity

The treatments vary and are individualized based on the assessment of the underlying cause(s):

• Individualized diet and lifestyle plan
• Targeted supplements
• Targeted herbs to assist in brain health
• Gut healing measures
• IV therapies (Nutrient IVs/Myer’s Cocktails, ozone, phosphatidylcholine, etc)
• Injection therapies to address specific areas of pain and mobility (especially for concerns with the peripheral nervous system)
• Heavy metal detoxification
