The New Paradigm of Holistic Brain Health with Dr. Jared Seigler - Functional Neurology Educator of the Year

“Everyone is unique, so the way you will feel better will be different than the next person.”

 

Dr. Jared Seigler is the Clinical Director of the Living Proof Institute. 

 

He was recently named IAFNR (International Association of Functional Neurology and Rehabilitation) Educator of the Year. 

 

Jared thought he would commit his career working with athletes, but until he and his wife dealt with their own struggles getting pregnant did he find his passion to work with neurological issues, autism, autoimmune diseases, and other life-threatening chronic illnesses. 

 

[06:00] What are other issues that are often associated with the brain that we might be missing? Anxiety, autoimmune disease, fatigue. 

 

[09:00] The stigma behind neurological disorders and why the dogma is preventing people from getting help.

 

[10:45] How do differentiate whether fatigue is an adrenal issue or a brain issue? 

 

[16:15] Just as your body needs exercise for your body, your brain needs exercise. 

 

[17:20] Lifestyle or diet habits that reduce the function of your brain. Handwriting is one of the underrated activities that improve brain function, and why Steve Jobs would not allow his children to use iPads.

 

[20:00] “The neurons that fire together, wire together.” The brain is very good at giving us illusions. How functional neurology can help us catch the early signs of neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s and take steps to reverse it. 

 

[24:00] Why drugs are not the answer to solve neurodegenerative diseases. Neurodegeneration is a result of stress, diet, environment, and so many other factors]

 

[25:35] How Dr. Jared navigates scientific research, and how to critically evaluate the science for real world application. What makes a good science and what makes a bad science? 

 

[35:00] As consumers, who can we know what health advice and supplements are safe to follow? In short, if many top institutions are coming to similar conclusions, it is a promising sign. 

 

[38:00] The problem with private industry influencing science and government policy.

 

[39:50] How Dr. Jared’s real life, clinical experience showed him the importance of really listening to people who have been harmed by poor policy.

 

[42:00] How it is so easy for scientific data can be fudged easily. 

 

[45:00] Many pharmaceuticals have to be recalled because they were not first proven to be safe before being released. 

 

[46:25] No one has run a RCT placebo controlled study on the current vaccine schedule. The insert on vaccine packaging even states that harm can be done by the vaccine. 

 

[49:00] Our psychology can easily be influenced more than we are even aware.

 

[51:20] Dr. Jared’s 3 most important values: 

• Gratitude—the most positive emotion ever measured. Mind your three environments—brain, gut, and outside of us. “The mind will fail somebody well before the body will.”
• Grounding and getting outside - “The more we dissociate ourselves from nature, the more we move away from health.” 
• Find something to recharge your batteries...if you are not spending time on yourself, you will not get where you want to go.
