Neuroplasticity—your brain’s ability to adapt—can work for or against you. In this episode, I explain what it really is, why most providers overlook it, and how to harness it for recovery. From concussion and POTS to migraines, brain fog, and mood issues, I cover how precise testing and targeted therapies can rewire the brain, restore energy, and improve resilience.

In this episode:

• Neuroplasticity, simplified: the brain’s ability to change—sometimes helpful, sometimes harmful—depending on how it’s directed.
• How to measure brain function: neurological exams, balance and eye-movement testing, cognitive testing, and QEEG go beyond standard scans.
• Why generic rehab fails: overdoing or under-dosing therapy stalls progress; success depends on the right dose at the right time.
• Conditions helped by plasticity:
  • Concussions/PCS—rest alone doesn’t heal, but targeted vestibular, visual, and autonomic rehab does.
  • POTS/Dysautonomia—rewiring balance and eye-movement systems improves symptoms.
  • Migraines—strengthening brain circuits raises resilience and reduces attacks.
  • Chronic fatigue, brain fog, mood issues—often tied to inefficient or inflamed brain pathways.
• Tools that drive change: vestibular & vision rehab, cognitive training, neurofeedback, TMS, exercise, nutrition, sleep, and stress control.
• Proof in practice: Sara’s recovery shows the brain can change—even after years of symptoms.

Takeaway

Most brains can change when assessed precisely and treated specifically. Neuroplasticity isn’t a buzzword—it’s the most underused path to healing.
