Can’t sleep?

Your nervous system might be stuck in “survival mode.”

When your brain is stressed, it struggles to shift into healing mode — and sleep suffers.

Brain based care helps neutralize stress on the brain and nervous system so your body can:

✔ Fall asleep easier
✔ Stay asleep longer
✔ Wake up refreshed

Better sleep starts with a healthier nervous system.

Are Sleep Issues An Early Sign Of Brain Issues?

Sleep is literally a deep clean for your brain.

50-70 million U.S. adults have a sleep disorder with insomnia being the most common.

The National Sleep Foundation recommends that adults get between 7 and 9 hours of sleep every night to maximize health and well-being.

35.5% of adults report getting less than 7 hours of sleep each night.

Not getting enough sleep can wreak havoc on your health. “In the short term, a lack of adequate sleep can affect judgment, mood, and ability to learn and retain information, and may increase the risk of serious accidents and injury. In the long term, chronic sleep deprivation may lead to various health problems, including obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and even early mortality.”

A new study in the journal Science reports that “sleep physically washes toxins, including those that can lead to Alzheimer’s from your brain.” Psychiatric and other neurological issues can be linked to a build-up of these toxins.

Getting the recommended amount of sleep helps clean away the toxic gunk that builds up in your brain and is crucial to your health and well-being.

If you are struggling with sleep issues, brain based care can help!

Specific brain based care neutralizes stress on the brain and nervous system allowing your brain to communicate with the body the way it should, leading to better sleep habits.

Better sleep habits allow the body to regenerate and heal, leading to better health. Be sure to schedule a Brain Based Assessment in our office to see how well your brain is functioning. 😉

Heart Disease: The Truth

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States.

Many people believe heart disease is caused by genetics, diet, or smoking.
While these can increase risk, they are not the root cause.

The Real Cause: Chronic Stress
At the core of heart disease is ongoing stress on the nervous system.

Stress comes in three forms:

▪️Physical stress – poor movement, posture, spinal dysfunction
▪️Chemical stress – poor diet, smoking, toxins
▪️Emotional stress – anxiety, fear, worry, pressure

Of these, emotional stress has the greatest impact.

How Stress Affects the Heart ❤️‍🩹
When the brain perceives stress, it shifts the body into fight-or-flight mode.

This response:

🚨 Raises blood pressure
🚨 Increases inflammation
🚨 Changes blood chemistry
🚨 Stresses blood vessels and the heart
🚨 Short-term stress is normal.

Chronic stress is damaging.

Over time, it contributes to high blood pressure, arterial plaque buildup, and increased risk of heart attack and stroke.

Why the Nervous System Matters
Your heart is controlled by your brain and nervous system.

If the nervous system is stuck in stress mode, the heart never gets the signal to fully relax and heal.

How Brain Based Care Helps
Specific care based on your brain type helps restore proper communication between the brain and body.

Research shows adjustments can:

✅ Reduce stress patterns in the nervous system
✅ Improve brain regulation of the heart
✅ Help normalize blood pressure
✅ Reduce inflammation
✅ Support healthier cardiovascular function

The Bottom Line
Heart health isn’t just about genetics or cholesterol.
It’s about how well your nervous system handles stress.

Supporting your nervous system supports your heart.
