HEALING THE BRAIN
NEUROPSYCHIATRIC CARE
BRAIN HEALTH
Your brain is one of the most complex organs and one of the most important ones. The ability to remember, learn, plan, concentrate and maintain a clear, active mind. … Simply, brain health is all about making the most of your brain and helping reduce some risks to it as you age.
CCIM CARES FOR NEUROPSYCHIATRIC ISSUES SUCH AS:
Mood disorders (anxiety, depression, psychosis, mood swings)
Cognitive disorders (dementia, traumatic brain injury, memory impairment, brain fog). Inflammatory disorders (MS, NPH)
DIAGNOSTIC TESTING:
Consultation including physical exam, neurologic examination, cognitive testing, +/- psychiatric evaluation, hormone testing, and urinary neurotransmitter metabolite testing, Heavy metal and mercury testing, mycotoxin testing, and microbiome testing

At CCIM we use endocrine and microbiome treatments to treat brain diseases such as:
ADHD, autism, dementia, hydrocephalus, traumatic brain injury, cognitive dysfunction, chronic fatigue syndrome, brain fog, ME/CFS, depression, and anxiety. Using endocrine (hormone) treatments for neurologic conditions is a field called neuroendocrinology. Ultimately these treatments regulate the brain immune system and promote healing; essentially an anti-aging effect.
We also test your brain chemistry using simple urine metabolite testing, and use our microbiome repair program to help you use food and gut health to improve brain function.
