1. Panel Overview

The NeuroBiome panel is a comprehensive assessment of the functionality of key body

system, secretions, microbes, nutrients, and food and environmental sensitivities. The

purpose is to provide specific information on areas of excess, deficiency, toxicity and

inflammation that contributes to chronic problems of physical and mental health. A synthesis of

this information by Dr. Bauman or a skilled health provider can point the way towards helping

you prioritize your needs and design a program of health improvement. It is good to key parts

of this assessment quarterly to measure progress and modify your wellness program

accordingly.

2. Systems Organs

You are a complex network of biological, ecological and psychological systems. This section of

our assessment will look specifically at key organs of the digestive system, branches of the

nervous system, immune system response patterns, endocrine system interactions and

hormone secretions that regulate energy production, stress and blood sugar management, and

sleep. A percentage of optimal functionality will be reported.

3. Neurotransmitters

A neurotransmitter is a chemical that exists in the brain and throughout the body, especially

concentrated in the gut, that signals and excitatory or inhibitory transmission of nerve

impulses. These are mediated by stress, foods, thoughts, activity, rest, relaxation, and

chemicals such as alcohol, drugs, and pollutants. An imbalance in neurotransmitters leads to

poor cognition, memory, coordination and energy. This section assesses excess, sufficiency or

insufficiency of each neurotransmitter to show where balance has been disturbed and the

potential for it to be restored.

4. Microbe Balance

We are not alone. The average human body contains approximately 30-40 trillion cells, but

also about 40 trillion microorganisms including bacteria, parasites, fungi and viruses. In fact,

there are so many microorganisms in our bodies that actually make up between one to three

percent of our weight—if you weigh 150 pounds, roughly two or three pounds of that is made

up of bacteria and other tiny living organisms. This section will examine the activity level of 8

key beneficial bacteria, as well as four categories with commonly presenting compromising

microbes: bacteria, parasites, molds, and viruses.

5. Heavy Metal Toxicity

Multiple heavy metals exist in the earth’s crust, plus myriad human applications from electronic

equipment to dental fillings, vaccines and pesticides exposure have polluted our air, water, and

food supply.  The body burden of toxic metals is associated with a wide range of conditions

such as headaches, tremors, infertility, mental "fogginess", anxiety and depression,

deteriorating eye health, memory decline, poor kidney function, tingling sensations in the

hands, feet, and/or around the mouth, recurrent infections immune complications. Heavy

metals to be tested include aluminum, mercury, lead, cadmium, and arsenic, along with the

nutritive metals copper, iron and nickel which, in excess, become toxic.

6. Electromagnetic Frequency (EMF) Toxicity

We are electromagnetic beings, affected by electricity in our environment.  The increasing

saturation of wireless radiation (cell towers, cell and cordless phones, Wi-Fi and smart meters)

pollutes our biome and energy systems. Symptoms, ranging from mild to severe, include sleep

disturbance, seizures, tinnitus, chronic fatigue, headaches, concentration and memory loss,

heart palpitations, nausea, joint pain, swelling of face and neck, eye problems, rashes, and

immune concerns. To improve EMF toxicity, reduce EMF proximity, and clear radiation with

extended time in nature, therapeutic baths and chlorophyll rich plant based remedies.

7. Methylation

Methylation is a vital biochemical process that enables our cells repair DNA, detoxify foreign

chemicals, support immune activity, and liver function. A by-product of poor methylation,

homocysteine has been associated with an increased risk and incidence of inflammation, pain,

depression, cardiovascular issues, immune dysfunction, and neuro-degeneration. This genetic

and age related defect of metabolism can be corrected when essential co-factors, such as folic

acid, B-12, glycine and betaine, are provided in sufficient amount and well absorbed.

8. Food Sensitivities

Food sensitivity is a term used to describe a variety of responses (allergy, intolerance or

reactivity) of the body to commonly consumed foods, additives and environmental compounds.

Reactions may be immediate, such as hives, or delayed, such as brain fog, fatigue,

indigestion, leaky gut, irritability, sleep disturbance, and apathy. Indications of no, low, medium

and high sensitivity to common foods and food additives will be displayed.

9. Essential Nutrition

This section will provide data on the adequacy of vital digestive enzyme secretions that enable

the body to properly assimilate the essential nutrient categories we will assess, such as amino

acids (proteins), fatty acids (fats), and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals largely found in

carbohydrates). Levels of excess, sufficiency or insufficiency will be indicated. In many cases,

when a person is experiencing chronic health issues along with stress, toxicity, trauma,

addictive coping, relying on alcohol or drugs for self-medication.

10. Summary of Key Findings

Life is complex. Health is challenging in today’s world. Symptoms are numerous, changeable -

at times, overwhelming. The purpose the NeuroBiome assessment is to connect the dots

between diverse systems, brain and gut signaling compounds, foods and nutrients that may be

out of balance and contributing to persistent health challenges, resistant to medical and natural

treatments.
