The Six Pillars of Brain Tune Up! Protocol
Control Your Genes
Although humans have about 25,000 genes the exciting news is that our genes are not our destiny. For each of us insight into our unique genetic code is empowering. The science of epigenetics teaches us that our genes are controlled by our environment. Once we have the power to turn on health-promoting genes and turn off disease-promoting genes, then we have an enormous amount of power over our health and our future.

– MTHFR
– PureGenomics Evaluation
Reduce Your Inflammation
Inflammation, an important part of life, occurs when our brains and our immune systems detect something in our environment that may be a threat. Inflammation triggers a whole cascade of events in the body, and when the body is inflamed it limits or shuts down digestion, tissue repair, reproduction, and happiness. Otherwise, it would be like trying to drive a car with one foot on the accelerator and the other foot on the brake. Chronic diseases occur as a result of inflammation that is persistent or unchecked. When you gain an understanding of the things that drive this type of inflammation, you will alter the trajectory of conditions, like Alzheimer’s.

Tame Your Toxins
Toxins come in many forms. Some toxins are natural to our environment while others have been introduced by our modern way of living. The human body has evolved with systems in place to manage the toxins that occur naturally, but not our twenty-first-century exposures. Our human system can be overwhelmed. Remember, too, that we are capable of toxic thoughts and toxic relationships which can have an equally bad effect on our health.

Patient Results
We have been told it’s impossible to reverse cognitive decline. That Alzheimer’s disease is a death sentence. Memory loss cannot be improved. Well here is PROOF of just how WRONG traditional medicine is. While every patient is unique and results vary, this sampling is representative of the kind of outcome you can expect when you join me.
Protocol Enrollment.
Step 1: Schedule Free Telephone Consultation
Your first step is to schedule a free telephone consultation with Callie Maggard, Brain Tune Up! Program Director. Please select the time you can be reached by telephone and complete the form afterwards. These steps are critical! Because of the high volume of interest, we are unable to answer your calls or questions until you have scheduled through this process and completed the intake form.
The Brain Tune Up! Protocol is currently treating patients from across the United States and even abroad. Since many of our patients come from all across the country we try to be as accommodating and understanding of the travel expenses our patients will have during the course of the program which is why we are able to offer customized care options throughout the program to assist patients travelling from afar. However, we do require that patients be seen IN-OFFICE at least three times throughout the program.
Program Director: Callie Maggard

How We Can Help You If You Have A Neurological Disease
If you’re affected by neurological disease, you got to think about what traditionally happens. You go to the doctor, the doctor makes a diagnosis after taking a good history and physical, and generally recommends a treatment. And that treatment by and large is a medication. Sometimes it’s a surgery, sometimes it’s some therapy, but generally it’s a medication. But the problem is that the medication is going to be prescribed generally for the rest of your life.
The benefit of the my functional medicine practice is to be able to come to a physician to get help addressing the root causes of your condition. I can use medication in my clinic to treat you if we need to because I’m a medical doctor. But if you want to address the root causes of your condition, what I can offer you is the possibility of helping you to change that trajectory so that you are not on medication in the long run, or the dosing of that medication is kept to a minimum.
