Overview

The sweetness of a canary’s song brings a sense of calm and serenity. Yet, that same sweet sound, or lack thereof, can be a harbinger of grave danger. The brain has been referred to as the ‘Canary in the Coal Mine’ of chronic inflammatory diseases.

Every scientist agrees that inflammation is the fuel on the fire of brain deterioration. Are we truly reducing the entire inflammatory cascade in the brain with our protocols (whether it’s GABA, or Valerian, or chamomile, or rhodiola, or Omega 3’s, or…)? Symptom relief, as wonderful as it is, does not always correlate with eliminating ongoing brain inflammation and degeneration. How do you know what to do?

Accurate laboratory identification of a breach of the Blood Brain Barrier (BBB), and biomarkers of a brain on fire are essential in understanding the scope of brain inflammation. As brain inflammation biomarkers reduce, and symptoms diminish, the clinician can monitor and adjust protocols.

Initial brain inflammation, with improvements clearly documented on follow up tests keeps the patient engaged, empowered, and reinforces they are on the right path to reverse the direction of brain deterioration that eventually manifests as dementia.

In this presentation, Dr. Tom O’Bryan will address both the latest cutting-edge laboratory testing to identify the mechanisms of BBB permeability, the most common triggers of a ‘Brain on Fire’, and the over 40 biomarkers (gauges on the dashboard) of a brain on fire.

Dr. Tom O’Bryan is a recognized world expert on gluten and its impact on health. He is an internationally recognized and sought after speaker and workshop leader specializing in the complications of Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, Celiac Disease, and the development of Autoimmune Diseases, as they occur inside and outside of the intestines. In 2018, Dr. Tom was invited, by the government of India, to bring together world-renowned leaders, including Pediatricians, Neurologists, Gastroenterologists, PhD’s and other medical professionals coming together to share the latest research and advancements in diagnosis, management and treatment protocol of gluten sensitivity, celiac disease and wheat-related disorders (and their many manifestations). Dr. Tom is the founder of theDr and the visionary behind ‘The Gluten Summit – A Grain of Truth’, one of the first online summits, that brought together 29 of the world’s experts on the Gluten connection to diseases, disorders, and a wide-range of symptoms and ages. Creator of the groundbreaking documentary series “Betrayal: The Autoimmune Disease Solution They’re Not Telling You”, Dr. Tom led a global investigation with the world’s leaders in health, into why our immune system, designed to protect us, begins attacking our own tissue (autoimmunity). Currently, over 500,000 people worldwide have watched the Docuseries Betrayal. His 2016 critically acclaimed ground-breaking book, ‘The Autoimmune Fix’ outlines the step-by-step development of degenerative diseases and gives us the tools to identify a dis-ease process years before the symptoms are obvious. Winner of the National Book Award and ranked #1 in several categories on Amazon, ‘The Autoimmune Fix’ offers a cutting-edge protocol on how to turn one’s life and health around, one “base hit” at a time. And his newest book, “You Can Fix Your Brain: Just 1 Hour a Week to the Best Memory, Productivity, and Sleep You’ve Ever Had” is the handbook for anyone worried about any type of brain ailment. From chronic conditions like dementia or brain disorders like MS, to simple brain fog and fatigue, this essential guide covers the full spectrum of prevention to treatment. Dr. O’Bryan is considered the ‘Sherlock Holmes’ for chronic disease and metabolic disorders. He is a clinician par excellence in treating chronic disease and metabolic disorders from a Functional Medicine Perspective. He holds teaching Faculty positions with the Institute for Functional Medicine and the National University of Health Sciences. He has trained and certified tens of thousands of practitioners around the world in advanced understanding of the impact of wheat sensitivity and the development of individual autoimmune diseases.
