Your eyes can look “off” for very different reasons… 👀 And the difference matters more than most people realize. Two terms that often get confused are #convergence insufficiency and #strabismus — but they are not the same thing. #brainhealth

Restrictive diets can be powerful tools… but they’re not always meant to be forever. You might use restriction to heal in one direction…but staying there too long can drift you into other problems... #keto #carnivore #functionalmedicine #Healing

Is This Making Your #Anxiety Worse? If you feel like you have to control your breathing all day… that tells us something about regulation. #dysautonomia #panic

If you spend enough time in online forums, it can start to feel like no one gets better. There's a narrative that says this is incurable- there’s nothing you can do and it’s going to be like this forever. We just haven’t found that to be true. #Dysautonomia #LongCovid #POTS

If standing still makes #POTS worse than walking… That’s not #anxiety. That’s physiology. Your leg muscles act as a second heart. When you stop moving, the pump shuts off. If your brain isn’t sensing blood flow correctly, symptoms spike. #dysautonomia

You might think your high heart rate is the problem. But what if it’s actually the reason you’re still standing? For most people with #autonomic dysfunction, #tachycardia isn’t random. It’s compensation. #POTS #dysautonomia

I went down a rabbit hole reading #Reddit threads where physicians talk about their patients — especially those with ME/#CFS, #POTS, and complex autonomic disorders. Some of what’s being said goes beyond frustration — it reflects a deep lack of understanding and compassion.

It is wild how normalized #POTS and #Dysautonomia have become post #Covid She's right. But here’s the deeper issue: POTS is a symptom-based name... To get to recovery, we need to start looking at the underlying mechanism- not continue to treat symptoms.

Do you feel #dizzy with eye movements? I have news for you- you're not crazy and it's not all in your head. Join me tomorrow night at 8pm EST on #YouTubeLive to learn more about what actually going on so you can move the needle toward recovery. Bring questions! #dysautonomia

If you have #POTS and symptoms of head pressure, this might explain why. Sometimes the #tachycardia isn’t primary — it’s compensating for impaired venous drainage and elevated intracranial pressure. #IIH #dysautonomia

Everyone says “just pace.” But what if you’re pacing the wrong thing? In #POTS, #concussion, #MECFS — there’s usually ONE bottleneck system crashing everything. Find it. Train it. Build it. That’s how capacity grows. #chronicfatigue

We see quite a bit of #MECFS patients and clinical testing and objective data always guides us in our treatment protocols. We approach those suffering with intention- and targeted care. We often find blood flow is an issue, which has been studied. We are not talking about

This research study confirms what we have suspected and what we test for- over 90% of #MECFS patients had reduction in CBF #bloodflowmatters me-cvsvereniging.nl/wp-content/upl…

For anyone that's interested- I'm have a whole series on #MECFS which we do see quite a bit in clinic. I hope this video helps fill in the gaps that perhaps my short video didn't get into. youtu.be/EXlZiVJV7Ro?si…

Thoughtful, targeted rehabilitation grounded in objective findings, measurable outcomes, and research isn’t controversial — it’s responsible clinical care. After helping thousands of patients navigate complex neurological syndromes, one thing is clear: precision matters. I never

We test this all the time in clinic and evaluate the #optokinetic response. When that pattern is irregular, slowed, asymmetric, or unstable, it provides measurable insight into dysfunction that may be contributing to #dizziness, #brainfog, #motionsensitivity, or post-#concussion

Recovery isn’t about winning every single day. It’s about stacking small wins. Zoom out. What feels small today becomes massive over months. If today’s hard — don’t quit. You’re building something bigger than you realize. #POTS #dysautonomia #MECFS #recovery

We are so grateful to be able to help those with complex neurological conditions get back to living. #POTS #MECFS #dysautonomia #concussion #orthostaticintolerance

So people ask, " How do you get the the root cause?" There’s no single algorithm. Just objective problem-solving until the dysfunction is addressed. That’s the work. This is why diagnostic testing is so important. #dysautonomia #POTS #RootCause #ChronicIllness
