GMO’s and Your Health

GMO's and Your Health Hi, I’m Dr. Marie Starling At The Healing Center Denver, we help people like you reach their full potential by being your Denver, CO Functional Medicine specialist. We  specialize in adjunctive care for internal disorders, autoimmune conditions, IBS, thyroid symptoms, diabetes, adrenal fatigue and other complex health issues. By Jessica Yoches, CNTP, MNT and Dr. Marie Starling GMO’s, or genetically modified organisms, permeate today’s food supply and are of major concern because of their impact on health, hormone balance, and the micro-biome. According to one report, “More than 80% of the foods we eat on a daily basis contain one or more types of GMOs. 1″ Unfortunately, food manufacturers are not required to label genetically modified foods.GMO consumption contributes to a leaky gut, the foundation of our health and a major issue we see at The Healing Center. Minimizing contributing factors for leaky gut is critical for increasing your health.  At The Healing Center Denver, we practice functional medicine and specialize in autoimmune conditions, healing a leaky gut, providing detoxification support and more, as well as resolving complicated and unresolved issues. Adding toxic substances to the body is not ideal, especially for those with Hashimoto’s, MS, Lupus, Celiac disease, or methylation impairment from Gene Snips and MTHFR.GMO Facts GMO foods serve two purposes: first, they are altered genetically to exhibit desired traits. For example, attaining uniform size or color for a tomato. Genes from the DNA of one species are extracted and artificially forced into the genes of an unrelated plant to exhibit a desired trait. The foreign genes may come from bacteria, viruses, insects, animals or humans. Second, GMO crops are grown to be resistant to pests and chemicals, such as Roundup, or...

qEEg and Neurofeedback

qEEg and Neurofeedback Lisa Biederman, CNTP At The Healing Center Denver, we are committed to giving you access to your full potential. To help optimize brain function, we are proud to announce the addition of qEEGs and neurofeedback sessions to our services offered. Who is a candidate for qEEG/Neurofeedback? qEEG (Quantitative Electroencephalogram)is a diagnostic tool that measures electrical activity in the form of brain wave patterns sometimes called ‘brain mapping’. A qEEG can reveal brain wave patterns that are associated with impulsivity, cognitive inflexibility, anxiety, and other symptoms associated with:  ADD/ADHD Addiction Anxiety Autism Brain Fog Brain Imbalances Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Concussion Depression Eating Disorders Energy Epilepsy Insomnia Lyme Disease Memory Migraines Mood Multiple Sclerosis OCD Parkinson’s PTSD Raynaud’s Schizophrenia TMJ and tooth grinding Tourette’s syndrome Traumatic brain injury What are the 3 areas of the neurological rehab that must be done to create optimum brain function and eliminate symptoms? Neurochemistry Neural Pathways Brain Waves What is a qEEG? Quantitative EEG or Brain Mapping enables us to look at the electrical activity of the brain to derive quantitative patterns that may correspond to diagnostic information and cognitive strengths and deficits.  It lets us know how your brain cells are communicating and which brain waves are underactive and/or overactive so that we can design a personalized plan to help regulate your brain waves. How long does a QEEG take? A qEEG takes approximately 30 minutes. How does it work? An elastic cap with sensors is placed on the head using to electrode gel to measure brainwave patterns. We record your brainwave patterns with both eyes closed and eyes open. When we have the...
