Dr. Brandon Crawford explores the brain's natural blueprint for development and healing. This blueprint guides the brain throughout life, enabling it to adapt and recover even after injury or dysfunction. Functional neurology plays a crucial role in identifying and addressing imbalances that may hinder brain function.
Primitive reflexes, sensory systems, posture, eye movements, and the Reticular Activating System all contribute to brain health. Chronic pain can negatively impact brain function, but the brain's innate healing capacity can be leveraged to address these challenges. Dr. Crawford emphasizes the importance of persistence and the brain's lifelong potential for growth and improvement.

Polyvagal Theory: Developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, this theory introduces the social engagement system as a crucial aspect of the autonomic nervous system, which is vital for understanding and managing our responses to safety and threats.
Vagus Nerve: The longest nerve of the autonomic nervous system, central to the Polyvagal Theory. It affects facial expressions, listening abilities, and perception of tone, playing a significant role in social connection and healing.
Neuroception: A key concept in Polyvagal Theory, refers to the subconscious ability to detect safety or threat in our environment. It involves the fastest firing neurons in the brain and is crucial for our safety and well-being.
Autonomic States: The five key autonomic states identified by Polyvagal Theory—Social Engagement, Fight or Flight, Play, Shutdown, and Intimacy—are each associated with different nervous system activations and their impact on behavior and health.
