Summary
MEET THE GUEST Dr. Lauren Brindisi is a Board Certified Chiropractic Neurologist who has worked with complex neurological cases across the globe. She is dedicated to individualized patient care, seeking to find the root cause of each patient's personal case. With years of experience treating complex conditions, she understands the importance of providing patients the safe place they deserve in order to better their health. WHAT WE TALK ABOUT What dysautonomia is and how it reflects dysfunction in the autonomic nervous system, affecting heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and more. Common symptoms like dizziness, lightheadedness, exercise intolerance, brain fog, and why this condition is often misdiagnosed. How the brain acts as the control center for the immune, endocrine, and nervous systems, and why dysfunction starts there. The connection between dysautonomia, autoimmune conditions, thyroid disorders like Hashimoto’s, and systemic inflammation. Root causes including infections, mold exposure, hormonal imbalances, concussions, and chronic stress on the nervous system. How concussions and even minor head injuries can disrupt autonomic function and trigger long term neurological and immune symptoms. The role of functional neurology in identifying subtle brain dysfunction and using targeted therapies to retrain the nervous system.
