Episode Description
In this episode, Leigh Ann welcomes Dr. Michael Bagnell for a conversation on functional neurology, brain injury rehabilitation, migraines, dizziness, neuroinflammation, and what conventional neurology may overlook. Dr. Bagnell shares how his background in chiropractic, physical medicine, applied kinesiology, and brain injury rehabilitation shaped his brain-based approach to healthcare. He explains why symptoms like migraines, chronic headaches, dizziness, light sensitivity, brain fog, anxiety, depression, and cognitive changes often require a deeper look at brain function rather than only imaging, medication, or broad diagnoses. Leigh Ann and Dr. Bagnell discuss how tools like eye-tracking goggles, vestibular testing, QEEG brain mapping, autonomic testing, and multi-axis rotational chair assessments can reveal functional patterns that standard exams may miss. They also explore how concussions, emotional trauma, mold, Lyme, mast cell activation, chronic inflammation, sleep issues, and stress can layer over time and affect the brain’s resilience. This episode reframes brain healing as an active rehabilitation process, where supporting the metabolic environment matters, but targeted neurological stimulation may be needed to help injured or underperforming pathways come back online.
