In this video, Dr. Farley discusses Parkinson’s disease, and his philosophy on treating it. There is no cure to the disease, but like most mental illnesses, it stems from many multifactorial issues across a person's body and brain. Prior to being diagnosed, one might see symptoms like dysautonomia, depression, anxiety, sleep disturbances, and anemia, but [...]
In this week’s blog, Dr. Farley discusses weight loss. Dr. Farley’s main emphasis is that weight loss will not make you healthy, you get healthy and you lose weight, health is the goal not the weight. Dr. Farley explains how following healthy routines and diets will help keep you at a comfortable weight because you [...]
This video is directed towards people who are interested in, or perhaps already taking, vitamins and minerals. It is also for those who don’t necessarily know a lot about what they’re consuming, whether that applies to a supplement’s quality, content, or purpose. Too often medicine works to treat the symptoms of a disease, rather than [...]
In this video, Dr. Farley discusses the five different branches of the immune system. He explains how the number one epigenetic problem is sustained inflammation, which means the immune system is not functioning optimally. Over time, this creates many diseases, and it drives everyone’s health in the wrong direction. The first thing you must understand [...]
Neuroinflammation is a serious problem that can manifest in many different ways. Here, Dr. Farley describes a list of indicators that suggest a person is at high risk of having neuroinflammation. These symptoms include brain fog, or difficulty in remembering things properly; inability to handle stimulation, such as issues with a crowded environment or loud [...]
In this video, Dr. Farley discusses the concept of healthy and unhealthy resting membrane potentials in your brain. He also discusses what your nervous system, specifically your brain, requires to keep your body healthy and strong. Your brain’s resting membrane potential and its overall health is influenced by four things: oxygen, fuel, stimulation & activation, [...]
In this video Dr. Farley discusses the leading mechanisms behind neural inflammation, a condition that can severely negatively impact all aspects of your health. Neural inflammation is also the leading cause of neurodegeneration, in addition to neuropsychiatric symptoms. Neural inflammation can be caused in three main ways: direct injury to the neuron, blood brain barrier [...]
In this video, Dr. Farley discusses the difference between statistical and clinical effectiveness in terms of how drugs are analyzed in modern medicine trials. He specifically talks about bisphosphonate drugs, medication made to prevent reductions in bone density. The statistical effectiveness of these drugs demonstrates relatively high numbers, in one example showing a 60% decrease [...]
In order to give a clear and comprehensive explanation of how the thyroid interacts with a body’s hormones, this video describes the influence your thyroid has on one’s health and body. A properly functioning thyroid will do things such as help to connect pituitary pathways, assist reproductive hormones and blood sugar control, moderate hormone binding [...]
In this blog post Dr. Farley explains the purpose of your thyroid’s communication with your brain. As it turns out, the thyroid plays a critical role for your nervous system: the thyroid produces hormones to encourage microglial cell growth, and it influences the production of matrix proteins as well. It promotes myelination, modulates synaptic activity [...]
This video discusses the role of the thyroid gland in the human body, and primarily describes the ways in which a malfunctioning thyroid can influence your body’s systems. Although a thyroid issue may manifest itself most apparently with problems such as depression, low energy, gastrointestinal distress including indigestion, constipation, gas and bloating, the thyroid has [...]
This video discusses Dr. Farley’s unique Neuro-Biomedicine approach to health, explaining how it differentiates itself from models used by many medical doctors. The Neuro-Biomedicine approach is special because of its three-step process, with its lack of reliance on drugs. With this approach, we first perform proper testing, especially bloodwork. This lets us maximize the amount [...]
This video explains how to get a new opinion, not a second opinion. Dr. Farley tries not to be influenced by previous diagnoses. He considers what others are saying but doesn’t let those diagnosis take him off track. He will start from scratch and put you through the three-step process: proper testing, proper root functional [...]
This video explains that contrary to popular belief, you should not be looking at your brain’s health through the lens of psychological problems. Instead, it is more important to consider how your gut impacts the brain, as changes in the gut can precede changes in the brain by years. Preventative measures can be taken to [...]
In this video we explain how chronic pain can be caused and treated, breaking down the misconception that treatment should begin by looking at the local tissue around the problem. In reality, chronic pain can be reduced or removed through treating the other potential causes, such as brain and muscle imbalances or sustained inflammatory responses [...]
This week’s video discusses Homeostasis, Allostasis, and Allostatic Load, explaining the relationships between them. Homeostasis describes your body’s negative feedback system; everyone’s body works towards naturally pulling their health to a set point. Allostasis and Allostatic Load are both newer terms, and they relate to how much stress your body is carrying. All of these [...]
When preparing to treat a patient with an injured mental state, it is critical to start by looking at the cerebellum. This video explains why the cerebellum is the most important part of our brains: it is a part associated with everything our bodies do. When determining the appropriate treatment of a deficiency or illness, [...]
This video discusses the importance of managing allostatic stress if one wishes to stay healthy. Some of the biggest and most dangerous diseases in the US, such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or diabetes, prey upon those whose allostatic load has been raised by stressors. These stressors can be physical, mental, or chemical, and [...]
This video explains the procedures and purposes of a new piece of equipment from Cortical Metrics, which is used to measure a person’s allostatic stress level. This allows us to see the well-being of one’s cognitive function, tone, and total allostatic load (the wear and tear on the body). As stress is capable of inducing [...]
