It reminds me of reading about a brain issue that a client recently came in with. He fills out a brain assessment form in office and his Temporal Lobe comes up. I work on the physical aspect of feeding the brain. I recommend other help if I feel it would be helpful, but, I feed the brain with everything I know.
Let's talk about the Temporal Lobe. It is an area of the brain where abnormalities occur much more frequently than recognized. When problems arise with the temporal lobe, it can cause
- memory problems
- headaches without clear explanation
- anxiety or fear for no particular reason
- abnormal visual or auditory distortions
- periods of spaciness or confusion
- seizures
- word finding problems
- emotional instability
- mild paranoia
- aggression, internally or externally directed
I feed with supplements, every brain needs a little support. but there are things you can do daily to make positive changes on your own too.
- Experience life, experience - experiences! Do something to get excited about life!
- Sing! Songs are healing.
- Listen to music, but don't just listen, separate out sounds. First the drums, then just listen to the guitar.
- Learn music, play an instrument or sing, yodel!
- Get sleep! More than 6 hours a night!
- Eliminate caffeine and nicotine
- Keep your blood sugar balanced, no skipping meals. Limit sugar, eat balanced proteins and carbs
- Biofeedback
Then, come in and see me and we will feed with the proper nutrition! It's an investment in yourself and your future. See you soon!!
