The ANS is crucial in regulating emotional & physiological responses to stress, and its dysfunction is often implicated in disorders like anxiety, panic, and depression. The ANS includes the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), which is responsible for the body's fight-or-flight response. In anxiety & panic disorders, for example overactivity of the SNS leads to symptoms like rapid heartbeat, sweating, and hyperventilation. This can compound emotional distress.   

Neuregen’s neurologic assessment includes an in-depth, technology-assisted assessment of the ANS, which is linked to a series of cutting-edge, potential therapies that can be applied to directly treat ANS abnormalities.  

Cognitive function refers to the brain's ability to process information, including memory, attention, problem-solving, and decision-making. Many brain networks govern both cognition and emotion. Mental health challenges like anxiety, panic, and depression are closely linked to disruptions in these brain systems, affecting cognitive functions.  Furthermore, cognitive problems can worsen perceived symptoms of depression and anxiety.   Neuregen's neurologic and integrative psychiatric assessment process assesses cognitive function independently and then links any detected abnormalities to specific therapies to improve problem areas.  

The brain operates through complex networks that coordinate different regions for cognitive, emotional, and behavioral regulation. Disruptions in the brain's structural and functional connectivity are associated with various mental health challenges, such as depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder.  Disruptions might be caused by injury, trauma, accelerated aging, and poor health. The symptoms of “connectivity problems” can range from poor regulation of emotions and attention, to altered threat processing and mood dysregulation.  Neuregen’s neurologic assessment process is used to identify potential connectivity issues to inform a therapy plan to improve brain function in these networks. 

The brain's ability to properly generate and use energy (mainly from glucose and ketones) is fundamental to maintaining brain health. Impairments in brain metabolism have been suggested to contribute to a range of mental health conditions such as depression, bipolar disorder, and even neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's.  While the brain is only about 2% of body weight, consumes around 20% of the body's total energy.  When glucose metabolism is disrupted, neurons (brain cells) may struggle to function optimally, which can lead to cognitive and mood impairments, among other issues.  Neuregen utilizes an integrative assessment process to identify opportunities to promote optimal brain energy metabolism to improve brain function. 

Peripheral neurogenic inflammation refers to a common (but highly unappreciated) process where sensory nerves, especially nociceptors (pain receptors), release pro-inflammatory chemicals (neuropeptides), which are released in response to noxious stimuli, injury, or inflammation.  This triggers ‘smoldering’ inflammation in nervous system and surrounding structures. This is believed to contribute to sensitization of pain pathways (incl. promotion of headache), emotional dysregulation (anxiety, insomnia), muscle activation issues, and disturbances in autonomic function.  Neuregen’s initial assessment includes an consideration of neurogenic inflammation, linking findings with precision nerve treatments (incl., ultrasound-guided perineural injections). 

By taking a “whole-body system” approach, personalized treatments can be delivered to promote brain function and well-being, including optimizing nutrition, correcting hormonal or metabolic imbalances, correcting poor gut health, addressing toxin exposure, and improving nutrient intake and metabolism.
