Regardless of the diagnosis, our Naturopathic doctors work to assess the causeby actively collaborating with your current physicians. Because there are many factors that together impact your current health, your ND will will thoroughly assess your family history, epigenetics, viruses, injury, nutrition/diet, environmental exposures, and stress. Each are important and are vital to investigate; this provides the best outcome and quality of life for those struggling with the neurological disease.

The nervous system is integral to the body and plays a role in nearly all aspects of health. It controls our breathing, heart rate, and temperature regulation, learning and memory, balance and coordination, hunger, circadian rhythm, and our emotions. Because of this, neurologic illness has a huge impact on an individual’s quality of life and sense of wellbeing. It can be especially hard on those that are already ill as well as the caretakers around them.

There are some aspects of daily living that contribute to neurological dysfunction. From dietary and environmental contaminants to long-term stress, poor sleep, and overall sedentary lifestyle. These are just a few contributors to the growing epidemic of diminishing brain health. Some other factors that we take into consideration for optimal brain function are the gut microbiome, infections, inflammation, hormone balance, and neurotransmitter balance.

The naturopathic approach to neurologic conditions includes a thorough assessment of any and all factors that may be contributing to the current presentation. Your ND will use unique tools including lifestyle and diet modification, herbs, biotherapeutic drainage, homeopathy, and vitamin and mineral supplementation. Through this approach, your naturopathic doctor can create an individualized plan to enhance not only your brain health but your overall state of health and wellbeing.
