Traumatic Brain Injury Therapy

TBI and Hormone Imbalance

After any kind of brain injury the brain responds with a wave of inflammation.  This natural response is meant to protect the body, but in many people it sets off a chain reaction that disrupts critical systems in the brain and body.

One of the most common long-term effects of TBI is damage to the brain’s hormonal control center — the hypothalamic-pituitary axis.  This can lead to deficiencies in key hormones that regulate mood, energy, sleep, metabolism, and more.

TBI can also cause changes at the cellular level, including increased oxidative stress (a kind of internal “rusting”), inefficient energy production, and impaired metabolism.  Together, these changes contribute to many of the persistent symptoms TBI patients experience such as fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, weight changes, and poor recovery from stress.

At our clinic, we take a comprehensive approach to evaluating and treating the full spectrum of TBI-related dysfunction.  We combine advanced diagnostics with targeted therapies to help restore balance, support brain healing, and improve quality of life.
