Integrative You Radio

Unconventional Treatments for Stroke


Listen Later

In this episode of Integrative You Radio, Dr. Nicole and Dr. Nick share an unfiltered look at their recent journey supporting Dr. Nicole’s mother after a hemorrhagic stroke. They break down the limitations they witnessed in conventional rehab, and open up about the integrative, unconventional approaches they’ve used to accelerate healing—blending neuroscience, mindset, nutrition, and innovative therapies. The duo offers hope, practical strategies, and a call to rethink what’s possible in stroke recovery, all while keeping it real about the emotional rollercoaster and the power of advocacy.

3 Key Takeaways:

  1. Conventional stroke rehab is often missing true neurological healing: Most hospital and rehab settings focus on basic movement rather than reconnecting the brain and body. There’s little emphasis on stimulating neuroplasticity or addressing the root mind-body disconnect.
  2. Integrative, at-home strategies can make a massive difference: From red light therapy and PEMF devices to simple, free tools like breathwork, visualization, and sensory stimulation, there are many ways to support recovery and brain-body reconnection outside the hospital setting.
  3. Reducing inflammation is foundational: Addressing cardiovascular health, cutting inflammatory foods, and leveraging targeted supplements (like quality omega-3s, garlic, and greens) are non-negotiable for both brain and body healing post-stroke.

     Quotes: 

    1. “This is about rehabilitating the brain’s connection to the body, the body’s connection to the brain. If you take that out of the equation, you’re just treating symptoms.”
    2. “The body is very smart, very resilient, and anything is possible with the right integrative interventions.”
