Do you feel spaced out all the time? Like you’re moving in slow motion through a fog and can’t snap out of it?

Top Ten Reasons to get a Brain Map

Brain maps are a 20-30 minute, non-invasive, computerized analysis of brain function. The electrical activity of the brain is associated with function of the brain. Brain maps allow for targeted management of a weak or unbalanced area of the brain. These multi-color maps show if any parts of the brain are outside the normal range. 
 
There are several reasons to get a brain map. The top 10 reasons are as follows:
    1. There are difficulties with focus and attention. Brain mapping has a long history of helping to recognize the symptoms of attention deficit disorder or ADD. 
    2. A person feels like they are in a fog or having problems with zoning out. Brain fog can happen in a child and in an adult.

The benefits, which attain almost miraculous heights for some people, vary depending on the person.

A gluten sensitivity is not a one-size-fits-all disorder with requisite symptoms. Contrary to popular belief, it does not simply cause digestive complaints (although it does cause severe digestive distress for many).
