- Medical Weight LossThere is more than one way to achieve a healthy lifestyle. Many people think that the only way to be healthy is to be on an extreme diet and exercise daily. We recommend that you start slow, and pace yourself. For example, simply choosing one thing that you could do every day to improve your health is a common way for people to begin. Is there a food or activity that is a part of your daily routine that could be replaced with one that is a healthier choice? Could you replace your soda with a sparkling water or water bottle? You are more likely to stick to a change if you start small rather than trying to change all your unhealthy habits at once. Becoming healthy does not happen overnight, but over time you can continue to make changes to improve your health.

- Irritable Bowel SyndromeOne of the most impactful changes that clients of Dr Brogan make for whole-body and mind health is to improve their diet and digestion. Elimination of suspected or confirmed food sensitivities, followed by the addition of probiotics and supporting parasympathetic tone were mainstays of protocols to regularize digestion, provide gut relief from inflammatory foods, and support the immune system through the microbiome. Vitamin and mineral supplementation (such as iron, methylated and activated B vitamins, and vitamin D3) was also consistently used to promote stable mood by providing cofactors for neurotransmitter and hormone synthesis, as well as increasing nutritional status to allow other physical healing processes to take place. The basis for the dietary recommendations presented in this case series is to promote a healthy gut microbiome and decrease systemic inflammation, ultimately promoting increased levels of energy, mood, and cognition. The diet aids with symptoms of withdrawal throughout the taper, as well as enhances general well-being. For this reason, the prescribed diet is continued post-taper. While the diet has many components, most importantly it is free of gluten and dairy, and it is low glycaemic. Gluten is a protein found in wheat that increases systemic inflammation and promotes intestinal permeability (also known as leaky gut). These processes occur through the stimulation of gut and liver cells to release more Zonulin. Zonulin is a normally occurring protein synthesized by liver and intestinal cells that regulates the permeability of the intestine. It is believed that gliadin (a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley) has the effect of triggering Zonulin activity and causing increased gut permeability. (8–12) Because serotonin in the brain and retina is synthesized under the control of a circadian clock, we sought to determine if a circadian clock in the duodenum regulates serotonin synthesis and release in blood. We examined gene expression in the duodenum of chickens at different times of the day and found that the duodenum rhythmically expresses molecular circadian clock genes and genes controlling serotonin biosynthesis, specifically tryptophan hydroxylase, in a light dark cycle (LD Because of increased permeability, undigested food particles, bacteria, and other larger molecules are able to pass through the gut lining and enter the bloodstream. These foreign bodies elicit an immune response, and the inflammatory cascade that follows leads to many unwanted ‘allergic’ reactions such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), chronic fatigue, migraines, eczema, and others. (7) Furthermore, a phenomenon known as hyper-excitable celiac brain may explain some of the neurological effects of gluten-mediated systemic inflammation. Many studies have explored cytokine activity on the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and observed that binding of these molecules increased paracellular permeability and thus disrupted the barrier.

- ImmunizationsIn these strange times, the question of whether you should need an “exemption” to say no to a mask or vaccine mandate may be one with which you have considered. Some who choose to decline vaccination and/or choose not to wear a mask may make these decisions based on research showing the potential for illness or serious side effects with some vaccinations. Some may be skeptical about the lack of evidence supporting the claim that masks can slow the spread of infection. Others may even argue that masks can lead to medical and psychological problems, and that mandates are promoting more of a political agenda rather than public health. While vaccinations, for the most part, can remain a private matter between you and your physician, choosing to not wear a mask is a decision that can be difficult due to mask mandates in businesses, schools, and other public places, and may be met with negative social effects.
- GynecologyResults for thermography are immediate. Results are displayed in the form of graphs and diagrams for analysis, which can provide a unique biochemical profile for each individual tested.AN ASYMMETRY AND TEMPERATURE ELEVATION INDICATES AN INCREASED RISK THAT WILL BE ADDRESSED WITH A PREVENTION PROTOCOL AND A CLOSE FOLLOW UP USING THERMOGRAPHY AND SONOGRAM. A subsequent scan will reveal the effectiveness of the intervention strategies. Results are read and interpreted by DR DEKEL, BOARD CERTIFIED OB-GYN AND BREAST THERMOGRAPHY.
- Labor and DeliveryWomen are especially prone to cognitive and neurological conditions brought about by fluctuations in hormones. Depression and anxiety are more common in women than in men, and childbirth can also bring about dramatic swings in hormones that lead to postpartum depression in some. Additionally, even conditions that are generally found in similar numbers between men and women are experienced differently by each. We believe it is crucial to understand these differences and treat them accordingly.

- Stress ManagementAt Balanced Bodies,we utilize peptides or growth hormone secretagogues including IGF-1 LR-3, Sermorelin, MK-677, CJC 1295, Tesamorelin, and Ipamorelin to increase growth hormone (GH) and IGF-1 levels. Peptide therapy is a safer alternative compared to using synthetic growth hormones due to the body’s self regulatory ability. Pituitary stimulation is an approach to GH therapy that involves stimulating the pituitary to produce more of its own growth hormone and IGF-1. Peptides that increase GH & IGF-1 are ideal for building lean muscle and are appropriate for individuals of any age. IGF-1 LR-3 has a high anabolic index with its main effect being muscle hyperplasia while promoting fat-burning during exercise. GH therapy is most effective when other hormones are balanced, and in conjunction with good lifestyle habits including a healthy diet, sufficient exercise, stress management, and adequate sleep.

- MammographyBreast thermography is completely safe and there is no radiation OR COMPRESSION. Women who opt out of mammography DUE TO THE INCREASED RISK ASSOCIATED WITH COMPRESSION AND RADIATION, (ACCORDING TO DR MERCOLA RISK INCREASES BY 1% TO 2% PER STUDY), SHOULD choose annual or bi-annual thermograms to chart their progress.
- Skin CancerAccording to the American Cancer Society (ACS), breast cancer is the most common cancer among American women, with the exception of skin cancer. Still, death rates from breast cancer have been declining since about 1989, which, according to the ACS, is believed to be the result of earlier detection through screening and increased awareness, as well as improved treatment.
