Here are 5 foods I would add to your diet today to improve your brain health:

1) Leafy Green Vegetables: lettuce (not iceberg), spinach, kale, and even broccoli are rich in folate and vitamin K, two vitamins that are crucial to supporting your brain function and maintenance of your neural network.
2) Avocado: another food rich in folate, avocado also is a good source of Omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3's are unsaturated fatty acids that are important to the maintenance of your brain, with increased intakes having been linked to decreased levels of beta-amyloid (a protein seen in higher concentrations of people with Alzheimer's disease).
3) Fatty Fish: healthy fatty fish are also an excellent source of Omega-3 fatty acids, but be careful about which fish you choose. Choose fish that are low in mercury such as salmon, cod, canned light tuna, and pollack. To further reduce risk of mercury over-exposure, choose to eat fish no more than 3-4 times per week.
4) Berries: Especially in the case of blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, elderberries, black grapes and plums, these are excellent sources of antioxidants that further support brain health and reduce the risk of cognitive decline. One of the most notable antioxidants is anthocyanin, a compound from the flavonoid family associated with reduced inflammation and protection from Alzheimer's disease.
5) Walnuts: if you are allergic to tree nuts, please avoid! Otherwise, walnuts are a wonderful source of additional Omega-3 fatty acids, especially of the variety known as Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALAs). These are associated with improved cardiovascular health, which supports the brain through better blood flow.

In honor of June being Men's Mental Health Awareness month, we need to talk about how strongly your mental health affects your brain health.

In times of increased stress, especially prolonged stress, your brain undergoes changes called neuroplasticity to accommodate for the increased activation of your emotional processing centers (the limbic system). When these neuroplastic changes fall short of helping you to process your stress, it's entirely possible for new neurologic issues to appear. New incidences of dizziness, dysautonomia, brain fog, and disruptions to the brain-gut axis are associated with periods of intense stress.

What you need to know is: it's okay to seek help for dealing with your stress. Feeling resistant to acknowledging that your stress and problems are real is a common reaction, but the upside is that when you acknowledge these things are real you can start to find real solutions.

Call/text, email or visit our website today to find expert help in treating your brain health and in finding a trusted provider who can help you care for your mind.

The most important part of supplementation that's being kept secret is that not all supplements are made the same.

Chelated supplements are those that have been bound to an amino acid, making it easier for the body to absorb. These are the supplements you see with terms like "citrate, glycinate, l-threonate" and the like.

Supplements that you see with the term "oxide" are the most common versions that are non-chelated, meaning they may not be as effective as you may expect.

Even worse than this, the supplement industry is not regulated by the FDA. This comes with the issue that some companies may not be completely truthful about what's in their product.

Don't let yourself get caught up in sifting through low-quality supplements that aren't working for you. Find an expert healthcare provider to help you through finding high quality and third-party tested supplements to help you on your health journey.

Functional neurological disorder (FND) may not be something you've heard much about. In the past, the diagnosis was used as a way to explain symptoms that healthcare providers didn't have a better explanation for. Recent research has shown that FND is actually its own unique condition that arises from a disconnect between how the brain and body interact with one another. This is why even though you are experiencing very real symptoms, your imaging studies and bloodwork show that you are "fine."

To explain it simply, your body's organs are still functioning normally but the communication system between your brain and body is experiencing dysfunction.

With the experience and expertise that comes from being a dual board-certified chiropractic neurologist, I'm here to help you on your journey to recovery from FND.

If you've been living with tingling, burning, or shooting pain down your arms or legs, you may be experiencing a condition called neuropathy.

Simply put, neuropathy is a condition that affects the peripheral nerves in your body. The reason for why is more complex, and can be different for everyone.

Don't leave your treatment of this complex condition up to chance. Put your trust in a board certified expert who treats you as an individual, not a protocol.

At Vero Beach Brain and Spine, I approach all patients with in-depth diagnostic testing to build your unique treatment plan that helps meet your specific goals without the need for prescription drugs or surgery.

Is your treatment missing something?

I often see patients who suffer from migraines receive treatment that helps reduce their pain to levels they can still function with, but leaves their additional symptoms overlooked. Dizziness, ear ringing, light sensitivity, brain fog, and a racing heartbeat every time you stand up make up some of the additional symptoms that tend to be undertreated.

Full-spectrum treatment of migraine requires a nuanced, personalized approach. With these additional symptoms, your treatment may be missing parts that address oculomotor dysfunction, dysautonomia, vestibular hypofunction, or nutritional deficiencies. The good news? Help is available here in Vero Beach.

Ever heard of a supplement chelate but not sure what it means? 🤔 Let’s break it down!

A chelate is a special type of supplement where minerals like magnesium, zinc, or iron are bound to amino acids. This ‘binding’ improves absorption in your body, making the nutrients more effective. 🌟

Think of it as the VIP pass for your body to absorb essential minerals efficiently. 🏋️‍♀️✨ Whether you're boosting energy, supporting immunity, or improving overall wellness, chelated supplements could be your game-changer! 💊💪

👉 Always consult a healthcare professional to find the best supplements for your needs!
