What is Brain Imbalance?
The most common brain ” imbalance” occurred between the two hemispheres of the brain; the scientific name is a functional disconnection. Essentially it is a lack of connection, communication and integration between networks on either side of the brain.
This lack of integration is most commonly a result of a developmental imbalance or developmental asynchrony. This means that one side of the brain is delayed or slowed in its development which causes the other to mature and grow faster, this imbalance in growth and maturity prevents the two sides of the brain from properly integrating.
This results in an unevenness of functional abilities where one side of the brain is advanced or even ” too strong” relative to the other side which has skills and functions that are underdeveloped and weaker. Obsessive, compulsive or hyperactive behavior is an example of the left hemisphere being too strong and producing symptoms.This combination of strengths and weaknesses can result in many different types of physical, mental health and learning issues that can last a lifetime.
What can happen when your brain is unbalanced?
The brain controls everything, so an imbalance in the brain can result in imbalances in every system in any combination
ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, OCD, Memory and concentration issues, depression, anxiety, hormone imbalances, blood sugar imbalances, muscle and sensory imbalances that can cause back pain, headaches, dizziness, immune imbalances that can cause chronic infection, food sensitivities, allergies and autoimmune issues and many more.
All of these issues have been increasing at epidemic levels and all can be a direct result of a developmental brain imbalance.
This imbalance can happen later on in life as well but this is not as common.
There is no damage or pathology in the brain, there is no genetic mutation it is not a chemical problem, it is just a physiologic, electrical imbalance and it can be corrected When the imbalance in the brain is corrected all of the other imbalances are most often corrected as well.
Causes of Brain Imbalance
The cause of these imbalances are environmental and lifestyle changes that have come about over the past 20 years primarily with the advancements:
- High Tech Computer technology
- Lack of physical activity
- Poor diet
- Stress
- Inflammation are the primary factors that affect brain development, and can lead to imbalances in the brain.
The same factors causing a rise in obesity, diabetes and heart disease are the same factors behind the rise of developmental brain imbalances.
What can be done to correct the Brain Imbalance?
Each person has a unique combination of strengths and weaknesses, to correct the problem we identify the nature of the imbalances, target the weaker areas on the under active side with a specific program of mental and physical exercise, sensory stimulation, lifestyle and behavior modification along with diet and nutrition. This problem can usually be corrected in a matter of months. It starts with adopting some simple lifestyle changes and some simple activities and exercises which will start changing your brain right away. Even simple Brain Integration and Balancing exercises done 15-20 minutes a few times a week has been shown to make significant changes in the brain.
