What is brain health?

Proper brain function ensures you enjoy better mental and physical health. Although it’s resilient, plenty of things can go wrong with your brain, especially if you don’t look after it.

Body & Mind Consulting specializes in brain health and helping it work better. The team uses a functional medicine approach to determine what’s causing your symptoms and address them comprehensively.

What brain health problems might affect me?

Brain disorders take many forms, including injuries, infections, and chronic diseases. Body & Mind Consulting focuses on the cognitive aspects of brain health — how well you think and process information.

Conditions that commonly affect brain health include:

• Depression
• Anxiety and panic disorder
• Sleep disorders
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Chronic pain
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
• Fibromyalgia
• Hormone imbalances
• Chronic stress
• Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

Some of these conditions are mental health problems, while others have physical roots. However, mental and physical health are interconnected, so their effects on your brain are often the same.

What symptoms do brain health issues cause?

Common brain health symptoms include:

• Low mood
• Muscle tension
• Poor memory
• Trouble concentrating
• Excessive daytime sleepiness
• Irritability
• Difficulty sleeping
• Fatigue
• Appetite changes
• Loss of interest in pleasurable activities
• Weepiness

Brain health can also play a role in conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

What should I do to improve my brain health?

Body & Mind Consulting offers comprehensive brain health care. The team first determines what’s responsible for your brain health issues, completing a thorough physical exam, medical history and symptom review, and lab tests. Next, they prepare a personalized treatment plan that targets the problem areas in your brain.

Approaches Body & Mind Consulting use include:

Healthy lifestyle

Weight management, movement restoration, and nutrition counseling form the basis of good brain health. You might also benefit from dietary supplements, stress management, sleep restoration, and help quitting bad habits like smoking.

Therapy

Talk therapies like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and solution-focused brief therapy help you make sense of your thoughts and feelings. You learn to identify unhealthy thought patterns and alter them, improving the connections in your brain.
