One important aspect to fully understand about your body is that in many instances the symptoms you see are rarely the diagnosed condition.
Here’s a simple example: When the liver is eliminating toxins, those toxins will exit the body along the path of least resistance. This could manifest in one person as bad breath, or in another as body odour, diarrhoea or a skin rash.
If you book an appointment to see your GP and present your symptoms of diarrhoea, your symptoms will be given a label, and you’ll get a prescription for something to ‘bung’ you up.
The medicine will help because it’s designed for that.
But the liver will continue detoxing, and a few weeks later you’ll be back in doctor’s waiting room preparing to show off a new skin rash. The next batch of medicine will eliminate the skin rash, body odour or whatever symptom you went in with.
In the end you’ll have taken drug after drug for what’s only the symptom, not the underlying cause.
While the symptoms may have been successfully eliminated, they were only acting as a dashboard warning light, pointing out a problem that lay elsewhere in your body; in the example given, an issue with your liver.
Dashboard warning lights are valuable and should never be eliminated as this risks being able to track the root cause.
For many years, singer Kris Kristofferson struggled with debilitating memory problems. Diagnosed with, and treated for Alzheimer’s Disease it transpired that he had been suffering from Lyme’s Disease all that time.
His wife said to journalists: “He was taking all these medications for things he doesn’t have, and they all have side effects.”
In the same way, brain fog is not a disease in itself. It’s another dashboard warning light, signalling a deeper problem in one (or more) of four key systems.
So, rather than prescribe a series of pills, these four systems should be checked:
- Your brain is the most energy-hungry organ in your body. If the mitochondria (the power plants in your body’s cells) are inefficient, the brain is the first to experience a brownout. Specific nutrients are the primary tools here.
- Your body has a systemic inflammatory level. If it’s running high (often due to a poor diet or gut issues), it creates “neuro-inflammation.” This is like static on a radio, disrupting the clear signals your brain needs to function. The repair work starts in the gut.
- Your brain needs a constant, rich supply of blood flow, oxygen and nutrients. If your vascular health is poor, that delivery system is compromised. Exercise that improves nitric oxide production is the key here. Humming can help with that.
- Wild swings in blood sugar from a diet high in refined carbohydrates and sugar are like giving your brain unreliable, sputtering fuel. It can’t run cleanly. Stabilising your blood sugar by prioritising protein and healthy fats is non-negotiable.
For support in these important areas we use Avazzia equipment (microcurrent) and a Vielight (blood flow).
These four systems are essentially a map of ”the what.” They describe the immediate physiological terrain where the dysfunction manifests.
What represents the deepest layer of personalised medicine, is the “why.” It’s the exploration of the upstream stressors that caused the terrain to become dysfunctional in the first place
The “ghosts in the machine” (or root causes) could be anything from unresolved trauma which stimulates sympathetic fight-or-flight system. It turns on when you’re under stress, danger, pressure.
The ethos is the difference between expertly repairing a repeatedly failing engine component versus asking the critical question: “What is it about the way this car is being driven that causes this specific part to keep breaking?”
Without addressing the “why,” the “what” will always be a Sisyphean battle against recurring symptoms.
There is a profound alignment here, operating at different but perfectly complementary layers within the system.
