Fasting for Long-Term Brain Health
Fasting is helpful to optimize brain health by protecting your neurons and glial cells. Intermittent fasting improves sleep, which helps to enhance clearance through the brain's lymphatic system.
Intermittent Fasting for Brain Injuries
From a brain injury perspective, fasting can address the effects of the neurometabolic cascade. Oxidative stress, inflammation, energy crisis, mitochondrial dysfunction, and glutamate toxicity can all benefit from intermittent or long-term fasting periods.
Choline for Neurotransmission
Choline or Citicoline (CDP-choline) is a nootropic sodium salt. It participates in synthesis of phosphatidylcholine.
My Experience of Neurodiversity
It is vital to your brain health to learn to ask for support, help, and time. And it's okay to take space when you need it.
Magnesium: Ally for neurotransmission disruption
Magnesium is a healing ally for Neurotransmission Disruption after a brain injury.
WHAT is neurodivergence, and WHY important in brain injuries?
Autism and brain injuries share several cognitive and physical presentations. These include; gastrointestinal symptoms, learning challenges, seizures, sensory processing disruption, and behavioral symptoms.
Curcumin: A Powerful Anti-inflammatory
Curcumin or Turmeric is a powerful anti-inflammatory herb. It is effective in modulating the pathways involved in oxidative stress, inflammation, cell death, and autophagy.
Inflammation after a Brain Injury
After a brain injury, your brain can feel like it is on fire. Leading to constant brain fog, headaches, intolerance of light or noise, inability to focus or concentrate, sleep disturbances and much more.
Sleep More to Heal Your Brain Injury
Getting a good night’s sleep is an important part of staying healthy. It is key to general brain health and critical when recovering from traumatic brain injury.
Importance of Fish Oil in Brain Health
Fish oil is a heavy duty anti-inflammatory and can interrupt the secondary injury cascade brought from a traumatic brain injury.
The Science: Post Traumatic Headaches
All about the science behind post-traumatic headaches
Post-Traumatic Headaches
Headaches are the most common condition that occurs after any brain injury. Surprisingly, they are more common with mild concussion brain injuries. This headache condition is referred to as post-traumatic headaches (PTH).
