Functional Health News Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

David Gallina is a naturopathic student who studies the connection between movement and neurology. In this fascinating discussion, he explains how sitting all day and loss of flexibility severely impacts brain function, even if you work out regularly. The human brain is advanced as it because it developed to perform complex physical movements, yet few of us do them regularly. You’ll learn how you can radically boost brain health through simple movements throughout the day, even if a chronic autoimmune condition has you feeling run down. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself sitting in a rejuvenating squat by the end of the episode.   

Gallina is the founder of Hybrid Movement Practice in Seattle. He will be speaking at the IAFNR 2017 functional neurology conference on the Importance of the General Movement Paradigm and Novelty in Functional Neurology.

Dr. Andrew Campbell, MD gives a thorough overview of the things you can start doing right away to drastically lower your risk of developing Alzheimer’s and dementia later in life. If you’re already noticing some memory loss, then follow these steps to halt the brain degeneration and win back your brain health.

Dr. Andrew Campbell MD has practiced medicine for nearly four decades and has had over 80 peer-reviewed articles published in medical journals and other publications, and has received twelve awards for excellence in healthcare and patient treatment.

He will be speaking at the IAFNR 2017 functional neurology conference on Aging, Diseases, and the Immune System.

In this episode, Dr. David Rosenthal explains how we can detect brain development dysfunction as early as in newborns. Once you understand some early neurological development basics, you can watch your baby for signs of milestones that aren’t happening or happening unevely. Likewise, he explains the neurology behind intuition and why parents should trust theirs even if a doctor brushes them off. Catching these signs early can alert you to an increased risk of autism, ADD, ADHD, tics, and so on so you can take action sooner rather than later and help the brain get on track. Whether a baby cries too much or is too lethargic, paying attention to subtleties can help you steer your baby’s brain in the right direction sooner rather than later with some functional neurology help. Dr. Rosenthal is presenting at the 2017 IAFNR functional neurology conference (iafnr.org). You can learn more about Dr. Rosenthal at http://www.davidrosenthaldc.com/.

In this episode, renowned childhood brain development specialist Dr. Robert Melillo talks about how early survival reflexes shape the development of the brain, and how early brain development disorders — which start in the womb — can throw a wrench in healthy brain growth. This leads to incomplete development and the rise of issues we increasingly see today: autism, ADD, ADHD, OCD, Tourette’s, etc. in children. Dr. Melillo is the author of several books about childhood brain development disorders and the many factors that cause autism. Learn more about Dr. Melillo at drrobertmelillo.com. Dr. Melillo is the founder of IAFNR and will be speaking at the 2017 IAFNR functional neurology conference. (iafnr.org)

Dr. Michael Trayford is a functional neurologist practicing in Asheville, NC. He is also published journal author, national lecturer, and currently serves on the Advisory Council for the Dementia Society of America. In this episode, Dr. Trayford explains how to spot an increased risk of addiction in early childhood, the neurological issues that raise the risk of addiction and make it harder to recover, and how functional neurology can help rehabilitate the neurological issues and thus facilitate addiction recovery. His talk at the IAFNR 2017 functional neurology conference will be The Role of Functional Neurology in Addiction Recovery. (iafnr.org).

Dr. Elroy Vojdani, MD, is not only the son of Aristo Vojdani, PhD, he’s also a functional medicine MD practicing in Los Angeles. With training and experience in interventional radiology, Dr. Vojdani explains the many ways brain MRIs can play a part in identifying brain-based problems as well as serve to track protocol success. They are even affordable. Dr. Vojdani will speak on the topic at the 2017 IAFNR functional neurology conference in Las Vegas, NV Nov. 3-5 (iafnr.org).

Many consider Dr. Aristo Vojdani, Ph.D., the father of functional Immunology. During his 50-year career, he has innovated many immunological tests and findings that are now commonplace in functional medicine and functional neurology.  He is the Technical Director of Immunosciences Lab, Chief Scientific Advisor to Cyrex Labs, and teaches with Dr. Datis Kharrazian at the Loma Linda University School of Medicine Dept. of Preventive Medicine.

He will be presenting on Pathogens Associated with Leaky Gut at the 2017 IAFNR Conference in Las Vegas, NV Nov. 2-5.

In this episode, Dr. Flannery and I discuss Gardasil vaccine injury — the prevalence of injury, a functional medicine view of why some people sustain vaccine injuries, and functional medicine strategies for vaccine injury. This is a thoughtful and level-headed approach to a highly controversial topic by a practitioner who has helped more than 100 vaccine-injured patients improve their health.
