Peak Brain and Body

12/31/2025

As we mark one year at Peak Brain and Body and the close of 2025, I’ve been reflecting on some hard-earned lessons. Even after a decade in practice, this year humbled me—and the takeaways apply as much to your health as they do to my clinic.

1. Consistency Over "Quick Fixes"

Coming from a successful clinic in Idaho, I tried to "jump-start" this new location with expensive marketing ($$$$, yes it hurt). The first few months were full of bumps and failures that made me worry that I made a horrible choice to move. I realized I had strayed from what actually works: building a reputation through patient results and networking. Once I returned to that consistent path as a foundation then marketing worked, we hit our 12-month goals despite having a horrible start.

**In health, as in business, a steady plan always beats the frustration of constantly switching strategies. Many times things take longer than we'd like.**

2. Don’t Let Your Past Paralyze Your Future

Many people I see suffer from "health PTSD." They’ve tried so many things that failed that they are now afraid to act. They only want to try things that fit their biases/comfort—but if those biases worked, they’d already be healthy. To get a different result, you must be willing to move past your history of failure.

**Don't bring your garbage from an old relationship to a new one, never works.**

3. The Brain and Body Connection is the Standard

Most patients arrive frustrated because they’ve only had one part of their body evaluated and get passed from specialist to specialist. Real recovery is about connecting the body as a whole. Getting 80-100% requires addressing both the neurological and the physical. Only about 20-30% of complex cases truly need just one side of the equation; the rest need a combined approach to finally achieve optimal results.

**Complete care is realizing that parts of the body impact each other, no more isolated approaches if you want best results**

What about you? What is one lesson you’ve learned this year that you’re carrying forward? Reply and let me know—I’d love to hear your story.

There are two different approaches you can use to find answers to chronic fatigue, brain fog, and dizziness:

1. To focus on the symptoms itself and try to find the things that alleviate each symptom. While this option does work for some, it fails more often than it works and it leads to a lot of frustration, lost time, and money.

2. To have a comprehensive evaluation that realizes that, yes, for some people there is one underlying cause, but for most it's about dysfunction within different parts of the body. The best way to know that is to test and not guess.

By testing you can have confidence as to whether or not something is an issue or not. Because you have evidence that tells you what truly is going on, you can now start a treatment plan with a much higher likelihood of success. Because there's a higher likelihood of success in general, you are going to find results faster. As a result you will have more confidence along the way, and in the long run, this will save you substantially more money than trying one magic bullet or one symptom blocker after the next.

If you're looking for help to figure out exactly what's going on, send us a DM and we'd be happy to help.

Suffered a concussion recently

Avoid making these 3 mistakes

Nothing frustrates someone more than being told your imaging is normal and therefore you are "fine"

Conditions imaging isn't great for:
- Concussion
- Whiplash
- POTS/Dysautonomia
- Migraines

Symptoms imaging isn't great for:
- Dizziness/vertigo
- Headaches
- Poor Memory
- Brain Fog
- Chronic Fatigue

This doesn't mean that imaging should never be done, but it is to say that imaging isn't meant to detect these things.

It is meant to detect something else and to rule that out as the reason why you have those symptoms.

Individuals choose Peak Brain and Body because we evaluate function in conjunction with blood/lab work.

This gives a comprehensive picture of what's happening.

My wife suffered another concussion and did treatment to get it fixed.

In this most recent podcast we walk through concussions from a patient and provider perspective.

The link is in the comments below.

A concussion story most people never hear. Dr. Zimmerman and his wife, Sara, share the raw, real experience of navigating yet another concussion—from subtle early symptoms to the emotional toll it takes on daily life.When symptoms don’t make sense...

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy tends to be very polarizing: either it's a scam or miracle but where do I fall on this?

12/26/2025

3 of the most common symptoms that I see are:

✅ Chronic Fatigue
✅ Brain Fog
✅ Memory Issues

If you are like my average patient then you go to google, FB groups, AI, instagram, and youtube to try and find out what's causing it.

You then pick the reason why you have those symptoms based off what you think makes most sense, but in reality it's often the one that fits an underlying belief you already have which may or not be true.

30-50% will find good relief, but the other 50-70% will be disappointed that the approach didn't work.

What we find time and time again are that isolated approaches require a lot of blind trust where you are completely unaware that there are things that may need to be addressed.

At Peak Brain and Body, we understand that a complete evaluation provides the best outcomes from the beginning with the highest probability of success.

We will be closed the rest of the week and will return on Monday Dec 29th.

Cherish the moments, time is something that can never be replaced.

Dealing with dizziness?

In this video, I review the 4 categories that should be evaluated as potential causes.

Have you heard the old saying, don't put all your eggs in one basket?

Well, unfortunately individuals are doing this every single day with their health. Many providers also are doing this in their approach to help patients.

While many individuals are able to get answers through isolated approaches, that isn't something that we have seen works well for more complex conditions and symptoms.

There is something about addressing the body as a whole that allows for superior results than picking the 1-2 parts that you like the best.

This is the difference in us being able to help maybe 50% of patients and helping 80-90%.

The data we collect drives results, we don't like making assumptions as that reduces risk of success.

If you'd like our help send us a DM to get started.
