Beyond Brain Health
Your brain doesn't just endure stress.
It can be built to withstand it.
I help people understand why some brains recover from surgery, illness, and life — and others don't. It starts with one concept most doctors never mention.
01 — The Concept
What Is Neuro-Resilience?
Think of your brain like a phone battery. A full charge handles anything — a long day, background apps, unexpected calls. But what if your battery was already at 12% before the day even started?
That's what happens before surgery, during illness, through hormonal shifts, or after years of chronic stress. Your brain's reserve — its ability to absorb stress and still function — quietly determines whether you bounce back or break down.
The question no one is asking:
"How much stress can this brain absorb right now — and what happens when surgery, anesthesia, or illness pushes it past that threshold?"
This is what the Neuro-Resilience Index™ was built to answer.
Neuro-resilience isn't about being "tough." It's about measurable, biological capacity: neuroinflammation load, autonomic stability, methylation efficiency, hormonal buffering, and gut-brain axis integrity. These aren't abstract concepts — they're the bottlenecks that determine whether your brain is cleared for surgery or genuinely ready for it.

Why Your Brain's Resilience Matters More Than the Procedure
One minute. One shift in how you think about surgery, recovery, and your brain.
03 — The Book
Break Through Anesthesia Fog
The Deep Dive
This isn't a "tips and tricks" guide. It's the first book to connect neuroinflammation, hormonal shifts, methylation, autonomic dysfunction, and gut health to how your brain handles anesthesia — and what you can do about it before you ever reach the operating room.
Written for patients who want to understand their own biology, and practitioners who want to know what's been missing from preoperative care.

Personalized Neuro-Resilience Support
I work with a limited number of individuals who are ready to build real resilience — not just get cleared.
Group Program
Gut-Brain Reset
The foundational first step. Your gut-brain axis is the gateway to neurologic resilience — and for most people, it's where recovery begins. This guided group program rebuilds the connection that stress, medications, and modern life have disrupted.
