Inflammation, The Brain, And How Neurotherapy Calms It
from Transformative Neurotherapy Podcast · host Dr. Heather Putney
How Does Neurotherapy Help With Inflammation?Brain fog isn’t just a feeling; it’s a measurable shift in how the brain organizes and processes information. We dig into the science and the practice of calming neuroinflammation—how red light therapy reduces inflammatory activity in targeted regions, why improving cerebral blood flow brings vital resources where healing happens, and how PEMF applied over the gut taps the gut-brain axis to settle the nervous system. Along the way, we break down EEG patterns that signal trouble, from weakened alpha power to slower theta peaks and compensatory beta surges that can feel like restless, anxious thinking.What makes this conversation different is the data. We walk through a compelling case where a child with ADHD and autism completed a gluten-free scan, then ate treats at school, and rescanned 48 hours later. The change? A slower theta peak, reduced alpha power, and less synchrony—plus a drop in accuracy and a slower reaction time on a go/no-go task. Nothing else changed. That tight window turned a vague hunch about diet into clear evidence that inflammation can derail cognitive performance fast. It’s the kind of insight that helps families and high performers make confident choices rather than guessing.We also connect the dots across common conditions: post-concussion recovery, long COVID brain fog, and chemo-related cognitive changes. Despite different origins, many share inflammatory signatures and respond to a layered approach—regional red light, blood flow optimization, and gut-brain interventions. By reading the brain’s rhythms and adapting protocols in real time, we help clients rebuild a solid alpha foundation, reduce excess slowing, and smooth out hyperarousal so focus, mood, and energy can stabilize.Curious whether inflammation is hijacking your focus or slowing your thoughts? Tune in to learn how targeted, measurable interventions can help you think clearer and feel steadier.
