Blood Brain Barrier Permeability: 100+ Expert Talks

About Blood Brain Barrier Permeability

When brain fog, anxiety or memory problems show up alongside a chronic infection or gut issues, many people come to DrTalks asking whether the brain's protective barrier is involved. Sudden behavior changes in a child with PANS/PANDAS, anxiety and depression tied to Lyme, slow recovery from a concussion, and worries about Alzheimer's are all things these experts see every day. These talks also go past the brain itself. A leaky blood-brain barrier is tied to a leaky gut, chronic infections, mold, inflammation and the immune system. You'll find conversations on the brain, immune and gut connection, neuroinflammation and Lyme, how a single strep infection can affect a child's focus, and brain fog protocols. Neurologists, pediatricians and functional medicine doctors explain what's actually going on, which tests are worth asking your provider about, from infection and immune panels and inflammatory markers to brain imaging, and what helps, from omega-3s, vitamins and herbal medicine to antimicrobial treatment, better sleep and hyperbaric oxygen.
