Our quality of sleep determines our Wellness perhaps more than any other factor. Lack of sleep can kill. Vehicle crashes from drowsy driving exceed those from BOTH drunk driving and driving under the influence of drugs combined.
After being awake for 19 hours, drivers were as impaired as those legally drunk. Getting behind the wheel with 4 hours or less and you are 11.5 times more likely to crash. Four hours of sleep and being drunk is the worst increasing the risk 30X.
Great sleep lifts all boats in the harbor and is the best anti-inflammatory known for both the brain and body. It is the anti-aging miracle that heals both body and brain.
What is great sleep?
Fall asleep easily without need for a drug.
Stay asleep though the night with no interruptions.
Awake rested, recharged and ready to go.
A balance of NREM sleep and REM sleep
NREM (Non Rapid Eye Movement) sleep is deep delta wave sleep that allow our brain to prune away connections no longer being used, detox and flush away toxins, and normalize inflammation and swelling. Lack of NREM sleep leads to poor memory and dementia symptoms. Laser or other stimulation to the prefrontal cortex can enhance this critical form of sleep.
REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep allows making new connections. While dreaming, the “theatre of our mind” combines memories in new and remarkably creative combinations. It solidifies movement patterns like the new piano piece or basketball shot so by morning, we “have it down”. Poor REM sleep is often demonstrated by someone who can’t remember if they dreamed and is also linked with a high risk of dementia. Thiamine 50 support this type of sleep.
Lack of sufficient quality and quantity of sleep leads to memory and function losses just like dementia. In fact, you can create dementia through poor sleep.
NREM deep sleep activates the deep cleaning, glymphatic cleaning and detox system that flushes out chemical toxins, adenosine, tau protein, amyloid, and other toxic proteins linked with dementia.
This is so important that just one night of poor sleep creates a prediabetic condition the next day and can lead to binging on up to 40% more junk food carbs than normal.
What helps us get to sleep?
Our circadian rhythm helps us wake up and fall asleep on schedule when working properly. We need sunlight on our face and just 5 minutes of exercise to set our circadian clock in the morning. In the evening, it is ideal to eat dinner at least 3 hours before bedtime. Also really important to turn off computers, phones, TV, and any other electronics at least 1 hour before bedtime – 2 hours is better.
Lastly, avoid “junk light” especially in the evening. LED lights, computers, TV’s, and phones emit harsh blue frequencies that rev the brain making quality sleep unlikely. Wearing “True Dark” twilight glasses at least one hour before bed blocks 4 different sleep harming wavelengths of light. Ideal is wearing our True Darks when the sun goes down. https://truedark.com/twilights/
Many suffer with anxiety, depression, fatigue, Brain Fog, post-concussion brain injuries, or neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimers, Parkinson’s, and Multiple Sclerosis. Others suffer with attention deficit problems, hyperactivity, or autism symptoms.
Is there hope for improvements?
In our experience, the answer is usually “yes” as long as we work to “Solve the Puzzle” of why your brain is suffering.
The science of neuroplasticity tells us that our neurons (brain cells) can change (plasticity) more than we imagine. This means our brain can rewire even after a stroke or brain injury to take over the functions of the damaged areas in ways that can sometime seem miraculous. After years of abuse, neglect, and suffering, our brain has a remarkable ability to heal and change.
What does our brain need to rewire and heal?
E.S.E.
Energy – we need our mitochondria to work really well to power the rewiring miracle of neuroplasticity. We have tools like healing lasers, frequency specific microcurrent, pulsed magnetic field therapy and a host of nutraceutical supplements to recharge our neurons and body.
Stimulation – we need activation of critical brain control centers – especially the parasympathetic controls centers located in our brain stem to dial back our stress response and turn on:
Healing and Repair
Calm and Peaceful
Digestion and Detox
Reduced inflammation
Mitochondrial repair and regeneration
We use tools like unilateral spinal neurologic adjusting, Vagal stimulation therapies, and brain activation therapies.
Exercise – since neurons that fire together, wire together, we must use these new brain circuits we are creating or we lose them. Vagal stimulation exercises, Neuromodulation therapies, and sensory stimulation therapies can have especially powerful benefits.
In short, we need to “Solve the Puzzle” of why your brain is suffering to help create a “Happy Brain”
A consult or Foundation Visit is a great way to get started. Others who want learn even more about their brain start with a Brain Scan.

Renovare’s own Cassie Burton, founder of “Curiosity Junkie”, interviews founder and CEO of Renovare Wellness, Dr. Timothy Gerhart. This informative and empowering epidsode is based around Dr. Gerhart’s 5th and newest book “Creating an Invincible Immune System”. What does it take to stay healthy and happy? Listen and learn!!
What is an “Invincible Immune System”? It is an immune system that easily fends off viral (and other infectious) threats with potent antiviral/antimicrobial weapons. Then it quickly stops the attack to avoid damaging healthy tissue. It is vigilant and only responds when needed and maintains the complex balance between friendly microorganisms that live in and on us and the potential pathogens that could make us sick.
* What makes us sick is a weakened immune system combined with exposure to a “germ” trigger. Louis Pasteur, the famous microbiologist who discovered germs, is reported to have said that: “The germ is nothing, the terrain (immune system) is everything.”* Our wondrous, miraculous, incredible immune system is the difference. With the COVID-19 pandemic, over 25% (and rising with more testing) of those infected don’t get sick at all! Is now a great time to start creating a more “Invincible Immune System” so we stay in the “over 25%” group?* Let’s be real. Who has a “perfect” lifestyle to create an ideal “Invincible Immune System”? Likely no one. The good news is we don’t need perfect, we just need improvements to boost our immune balance while reducing our exposure to toxic stress, overwork, lack of sleep, toxins, and pathogens.
* Our medical disease care system appears stuck in the “wear a mask, wash your hands, keep your distance, and wait for a vaccine mode.” The question, “How do we boost our immune system to help us stay well regardless of the threat” is not being asked – or answered by the Centers for Disease control or the mainstream media.
* Join Dr. Gerhart and myself as we talk about what it takes to create an invincible immune system, to stay happy and healthy everyday.
* Taken from the Introduction of Dr. Timothy Gerhart’s book “Creating An Invincible Immune System” published in July 2020. To request a copy of “Creating An Invincible Immune System” contact: Http://BrainWellnessAZ.com Or call the Renovare Wellness By Design office @ 623-776-0206
There is a gift tucked away into many of the trials we are confronted with in life. During this unique time, it may be hard to push away the fear, frustration, anger. Television programs, social media posts, and emails all target the dark side of this pandemic we are living through.
Countless numbers of us are isolated in our homes with minimal face to face contact with others. We miss the simple touch of another human beings’ hand. Perhaps we have not had to confront ourselves in an exceptionally long time. Distractions in life may not allow us to hear our own thoughts or listen to our own breath. However, if we can manage to reign in our fear – calm our minds and center our spirit, we can discover something special for the taking.
So many have more still time in their life than ever experienced. Now is the moment to go within yourself to discover something new. What have you not unleashed in your spirit? What desires have you put on a back burner? Continue to move forward daily towards a desire or goal. It may be reading, writing, starting a new exercise routine, learning to meditate, deepening your prayer life, catching up with old friends. Whatever that desire is, step away from the things that may create negative thinking for you and move towards something that makes you feel alive and inspired.
Find that hidden gift. It may even inspire others and create much needed light and joy in our world.
It is estimated that over half the population is deficient of magnesium. This may not seem disconcerting unless you understand the magnitude of the impact this little mineral has on our bodies. Did you know that over 600 enzymes require magnesium to work properly and it is the fourth most abundant mineral in our body?
Almost every function of the body utilizes magnesium including supporting a healthy brain, kidney and cardiovascular system. It also is necessary for:
Making energy in the mitochondria
Feeling relaxed, calm and peaceful
Peaceful, restful sleep
Formation of bone and protein
Nerve and muscle function
Regulation of blood pressure
Regulation of blood sugar levels
Maintaining healthy acid-alkaline balance of body
Major loss and stress as well as alcohol consumption are all major causes of magnesium. Also antibiotics, oral contraceptives, diuretics, certain cancer drugs, some prescription medications, and excess soda and coffee consumption can deplete magnesium.
Some of the most common symptoms of magnesium deficiency may include:
Anxiety
Poor Stress Tolerance
Chronic Fatigue or constant fatigue
Muscle Cramps
Numbness
Nausea
Irregular Heartbeat
High Blood Pressure
Migraines
Osteoporosis
Serious Asthma
Seizures
Some mental disorders such as apathy and delirium
Recommended rich sources of magnesium include leafy greens, nuts, seeds, and dried beans. However,eating organic, unprocessed magnesium rich foods is not necessarily enough to increase your magnesium intake. Due to depleted soil, many experts believe supplementation is needed.
Magnesium deficiency is rampant in our society and lending to a sick population. The recommended daily allowance for magnesium is only the amount necessary to prevent disease and a poor substitute for the greater amounts actually necessary for optimizing wellness.
Magnesium is extremely safe. If you take more than your body can tolerate your body will expel it through your stool. The exception to this would be end stage renal failure in which it is necessary for a doctor to monitor blood levels carefully.
Some of our favorites magnesium supplements at Renovare include Brain Relax Maxand Brain Magnesium Boost Pro. You can purchase these products at : https://brainwellnessaz.com/shop/page/2/ or visit or clinic.
