12/19/2025

“I have had major depression and anxiety for over 25 years and have been on countless antidepressants and mood stabilizers and been admitted to a handful of psychiatric hospitals over the last ten years. I was looking for relief in a lot of different avenues, but nothing seemed to help and I was losing hope that things would ever get better as I started experiencing more long term side effects from one medication I had been on on.
Over the next few months, the receptionists, Dana and Emily, were very patient with me and went over the plans and costs more than once. Dr. Kayla Ryan was forbearing and answered all questions my family had about the intensive. I finally decided to go forward with it. This past week was my intensive and I can’t tell you how glad and thankful I am that I chose to come and got the opportunity to experience such quality care. Everyone on staff were kind and helpful and Dr. Kayla and my therapist, Amber, were very knowledgeable and kind answering all my questions and listening to me and treating me with a great amount of dignity and respect that I hadn’t receives at other hospitals and clinics. I saw some improvement with my cognitive skills, but the biggest improvement was with my symptoms like brain fog, fatigue and dizziness.
When I was seen for my initial appointment my symptom score was 66 and after my intensive, it was a 0! I found a major shift in my mental clarity and mood on the first day and was able to build on that the next three days. I have been smiling more this week and am more confident about being able to have a happier, healthier future. I am very grateful to the NWI for helping me achieve far more than I thought possible and encourage anyone who is on the fence about coming, to take the time and invest in yourself and your health let the staff at NWI help you become the best version of yourself.”

Post-Concussion PTSD Recovery: Eric’s Success Story 💥🧠

From survival mode to truly living again.

After serving 8 years in the U.S. Army and deploying during Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003–2005), Eric was diagnosed with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Complex PTSD, alongside ADHD and dyslexia.

For years, medications were used to numb symptoms.

Traditional talk therapy didn’t create lasting change.

At Eric’s lowest point—unable to process life, constantly reacting instead of living—he was introduced to The Neurologic Wellness Institute and neurological-based therapies. What followed was life-changing.

🧠 The first sessions were challenging:
• Sensory overload
• Difficulty trusting
• Mental fatigue
• Trouble relaxing

But within 2–3 weeks, everything shifted.

“You don’t realize you’re living life underwater until you finally take that first breath of air.”

Today, Eric can process conversations, regulate emotions, and engage with life again.

➡️ Recovery is possible.
➡️ The brain can heal.

12/12/2025

“I cannot express enough how transformative my experience at the Neurological Wellness Institute has been for my Dysautonomia disorder - POTS. Upon walking through the doors for the first time I felt welcomed and supported by an exceptional team of healthcare providers.

The results I’ve achieved since starting this program are nothing short of remarkable. I have seen a dramatic reduction in my symptoms and have regained a huge part of my life back. While not as intensive, I will continue to work with the professional, highly trained medical professionals at the NWI.

I wholeheartedly recommend the Neurological Wellness Institute to anyone struggling with similar dysautonomia conditions/other neurological conditions. This team is truly dedicated to helping their patients achieve wellness and lasting results, and I am so grateful for all they have done for me and how they will continue to help me navigate through this time! Thank you everyone at the NWI!!”

Dr. Nick talks about enhancing athletic performance under pressure. The term ‘choking’ is used to describe athletes who do not perform to normal standards when they are under pressure to perform well. The pressure causes anxiety, which results in the conscious mind trying to control the motor movement in athletics. Athletes train for months or years for competition, so they have a form of automation in their specific skills. When anxiety builds and the mind tries to micromanage the task, it leads to poor performance. There are simple ways that athletes can turn off the conscious control to better perform under pressure. These include things like breathing and fist holds.

Check out the video in the link in bio under blog for more in depth information on how to enhance athletic performance under pressure!

Post-Concussion Syndrome Recovery: Terry’s Success Story 💥🧠

Terry spent 2+ years battling life-changing Post-Concussion Syndrome symptoms — but found real recovery after feeling stuck and unheard.

He struggled with:
• Blurry, unstable vision
• Daily headaches
• Severe brain fog
• Dizziness while driving
• Anxiety + trouble concentrating
• Fatigue that never went away

Traditional routes — neurologists, medications, and psychiatric care — didn’t bring relief. Symptoms kept getting worse.

Then Terry came to The Neurologic Wellness Institute, where he received:
• Personalized concussion rehab
• Daily, targeted neurological therapy
• Advanced testing to uncover WHY the brain wasn’t healing
• A team experienced in complex concussion & PCS cases

After just 3 weeks, Terry’s brain fog, vision issues, and driving anxiety had major improvements — progress he once thought was impossible.

If you or someone you love is struggling with:
• Post-Concussion Syndrome
• Chronic dizziness or vertigo
• Visual disturbances
• Exercise intolerance
• Driving anxiety
• Headaches or migraines
• Cognitive fog or memory issues
• Autonomic dysfunction / dysautonomia

➡️ There is hope. Recovery is possible.
➡️ The brain CAN heal.

12/05/2025

“I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Dr. Traster and the entire team at the Neurological Wellness Institute in Boca Raton. From the very first moment I walked in, even the front desk staff made me feel welcomed, safe, and understood. The environment is calm, relaxed, and genuinely comforting—you can just feel that everyone there cares.

Dr. Traster himself is nothing short of extraordinary. He is a true wealth of knowledge, and yet one of the kindest, most grounded, most compassionate doctors I’ve ever met. He listens—deeply listens—in a way that is incredibly rare in the medical world. For the first time, I didn’t feel dismissed or “crazy.” Everything I had been experiencing was validated and explained, and he helped me understand what was actually happening in my body.

His approach to POTS, dysautonomia, and neurological dysfunction is unlike anything I’ve ever seen in traditional medical settings. He uses methods and assessments that standard medical centers don’t even consider, and because of that, he is able to help patients in a truly transformative way. He doesn’t just manage symptoms—he works to get to the root of complex issues and help your nervous system truly heal.

The entire staff is just as wonderful. They’re kind, warm, and genuinely friendly—many of them talked with me even if they weren’t directly involved in my care. I actually looked forward to going every single day. It became the best part of my routine and, without exaggeration, the best decision I made all year.

I came in for one issue, but we discovered and treated other underlying problems I didn’t even realize were contributing to my struggles. The changes I’ve experienced are profound—I finally feel like I’m getting my life back.

From the bottom of my heart, I am so grateful that Dr. Traster and this practice exist.”
