Dr. Titus Chiu, a functional neurologist, discusses healing and optimizing brain function. Topics include distinguishing brain fatigue from brain fog, personal health struggles leading to functional neurology, neuroinflammation's impact on brain health, neural networks' role in bodily functions, brain health enhancements through supplements and practices.
Dr. Chiu's 5-step protocol optimizes brain function post-injury.
Functional neurologists use diverse techniques for brain fatigue diagnosis and healing.
Daily practices like saunas and polyphenol supplements support brain health and function.
Deep dives
Brain fatigue and brain fog coexist frequently
Brain fatigue is often accompanied by brain fog, indicating a state where thinking clearly becomes an effort, especially after factors like concussions and brain trauma. This synergy often challenges optimal brain function and is a common experience.
Key role of functional neurologists in brain health
Functional neurologists play a crucial role in diagnosing and addressing neurological causes of symptoms like brain fatigue. The distinction between conventional neurologists and functional neurologists lies in the tools used for healing. Functional neurologists utilize a range of techniques, including nutrition, lab testing, and neuroplasticity treatments, to target and heal specific areas of the nervous system involved in symptoms like brain fatigue.
Importance of proactive approach to brain health
Taking a proactive approach to brain health involves priming brain cells for optimal function through techniques such as boosting brain circulation, metabolic support with supplements like polyphenols, and specific brain activation exercises. By incorporating targeted practices, individuals can enhance their neurological functions and overall brain health.
Neuroplasticity and personalized brain training
Utilizing neuroplasticity principles, individuals can train specific neural networks related to their goals, whether it's creativity, compassion, or athletic performance. Personalized brain training exercises, including eye movements or sensory experiences, can rewire the brain, leading to improved functionality aligned with desired outcomes.
Daily practices for brain health and optimization
Daily practices for brain health can include exposure to hormetic stressors like saunas and cold showers to stimulate brain activity and elicit beneficial responses. A supplement regimen rich in polyphenols, fish oils, and adaptogens, coupled with practices for cellular priming and stress management, can contribute to enhanced brain function and overall well-being.
In this episode, I’m speaking with Dr. Titus Chiu, a functional neurologist and author of Leaky Brain Fix, his 5-step protocol for not just healing but optimizing brain function.
Dr. Chiu is a brilliant clinician who will share how to heal from brain injuries such as concussions or brain trauma AND how to take a healthy brain from normal to super-human!
