Nutrition is the foundation of healing and health, not because we want it to be, but because it has to be. Your food and diet provide your body the raw materials to help you maintain your structure, function, and the innate ability to repair your body. Food will always be the fuel to help you live the highest quality of life possible, especially after trauma or injury to the body.

The discovery of underlying inflammatory processes in the gut and brain have grown in popularity over the last decade of research, as they have become highly implicated in the development and progression of nearly every neurodegenerative disease we know about. The evidence supports the notion that your gut and bacterial profile can significantly influence the onset of Alzheimer’s, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease, etc. We also know that your gut contains 70% of your immune system and houses nearly 90% of the serotonin produced throughout the brain and body!

Information is useless without application, but even more important, that information is irrelevant if we can’t use it to determine change. Lab testing and comprehensive blood panels are the gold standard in assessing, diagnosing, and tracking progress for most disease states, which is why we utilize an array of tests to determine underlying metabolic dysfunction. At The Neural Connection, we compare your lab findings before and after an intervention, dietary program, and nutritional protocols, because it is imperative to determine clinical outcomes and show patients objective findings to gauge their progress over time.
