HBOT is a clinical treatment where the patient breathes 100% oxygen in a pressurized hyperbaric oxygen chamber. At pressures greater than normal, the body can incorporate more oxygen into blood cells, blood plasma, cerebrospinal fluid and other body fluids. The increased oxygen absorption experienced during HBOT boosts stem cell circulation by 800% and enhances the body’s ability to heal itself. Known effects of HBOT include reduced inflammation, promotion of the growth of new blood vessels, inducing production of new neurons in the brain, repair of damaged tissues and suppression of oxygen radicals due to its ability to increase the activity and number of oxygen radical-fighting enzymes. The reduction of inflammation allows for an increase of healthy blood flow to the brain. Research has shown that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy resulted in a decrease in microglia around the amyloid plaques, fewer proinflammatory cytokines, reduced hypoxia levels, reduced number of amyloid plaques, and improvement in cognitive and anxiety like behaviors.

A quantitative EEG shows us electrical activity of the brain. We will be able to see if inflammation is present; if there are any areas of hyper- or hypoactivity; and any areas of disconnect within the Delta, Theta, Alpha and Beta brain waves. Neurofeedback therapy works directly with the brain, allowing us to focus on the area(s) of the brain most affected, while at the same time bringing the entire brain back into balance. Research studies have shown that patients with Alzheimer’s Disease who have had NFB had an improvement in orientation and memory and a stabilization of cognitive functions.

Our Functional Nutrition Therapy Practitioner will help you learn how nutrition affects your body and guide each patient in forming a healthy relationship with food by learning what foods are best for each individual. She also offers testing for gut health and food sensitivities, giving patients more insight into their overall health and how it can be improved.
