What Is Neurovestibular Integration Therapy? Neurovestibular Integration Therapy is a therapeutic approach designed to help your brain better understand where your body is in space—something called spatial orientation. It works by resetting the way your brain processes information from four key systems: Somatosensory System – This includes signals from your muscles, joints, and skin (touch […]

Microglia, Growth Factors and Autophagy Are Essential For Brain Health
Microglial cells are specialized immune cells in the brain and central nervous system (CNS) that play a critical role in maintaining brain health. ? Their key functions include: Immune Surveillance: Microglial cells monitor the brain’s environment for signs of infection, injury, or other disturbances, acting as the brain’s first line of defense. ? Inflammation Regulation: […]
An Integrative Approach to Brain Health and Function
Brain Repair: A Holistic Approach to Cognitive Health Fatigue and brain fog can signal underlying brain dysfunction, increasing the risk of long-term issues like dementia and autoimmunity. ? Our comprehensive brain repair guide focuses on key areas to support cognitive health, including promoting growth factors, enhancing circulation, reducing inflammation, supporting autophagy (cell repair), and improving […]
Functional Neurology: Transforming Chronic Health Conditions
Functional Neurology is an innovative, patient-centered approach to healthcare that focuses on optimizing brain function through personalized, non-invasive therapies. By examining how different parts of the brain interact and identifying areas of dysfunction, Functional Neurology helps individuals manage and even reverse symptoms associated with various chronic conditions. Below, we’ll explore how this powerful method is […]
Microglia: The Key to Neuroinflammation, Depression and Cognitive Decline
Understanding Microglia: The Brain’s Immune Guardians Microglia are the primary immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS). They constantly monitor the brain for pathogens, toxins, and damaged cells. While they play a vital role in protecting neural function, chronic activation of microglia can contribute to neuroinflammation, mood disorders, and cognitive decline. Microglia & Neuroinflammation […]
OTOLITHS: A POWERFUL BRAIN RECEPTOR
Otoliths are among the most powerful sensory receptors in the brain for certain types of information, particularly regarding gravity and linear acceleration, but whether they are the “most powerful” overall depends on the context and the sensory system being considered. Why Otoliths Are Powerful: Direct Connection to Primitive Brain Centers: The vestibular system, including the […]
