ADHD, Anxiety + Inflamed Brains — Dr. Bauerschmidt on What’s Really Going On
8 hours ago
- The “arsonist vs. fire” analogy in mental health. Dr. Bauerschmidt explains that functional medicine seeks to identify and remove the root cause (the arsonist) driving neuroinflammation, rather than using medications to suppress symptoms (the fire).
- We are in a mental health epidemic — and the environment is a major driver. The rise of ADHD, anxiety, and depression is not coincidental. It is tracking with the rise of chemical exposures, microplastics, and a total body burden our ancestors never faced.
- Environmental toxins act as hormone disruptors. Everyday exposures to microplastics and forever chemicals can mimic or block hormones, contributing to the modern epidemic of low testosterone and depression in young men.
- Total Body Burden creates severe oxidative stress. The accumulation of chemicals, mold, EMFs, and poor diet overwhelms the body’s cellular communication, leading to systemic “rusting” and rapid aging.
- Regulating the brain with microcurrent neurofeedback. Dr. Bauerschmidt introduces IASIS microcurrent neurofeedback and how it aims to reestablish delta wave patterns and calm the nervous system after chronic stress and toxic exposure.
