Functional Neurology Retreat

Functional Neurology and Receptor-Based Therapy

Our brains are the circuit board to our health, the control tower of our bodies, and our most prized organ! The brain is also the least understood organ, most broken and imbalanced, with the fewest options for treatment and recovery from illness or injury. With our modern lifestyles today, the brain is often insulted in some way, shape, or form everyday! It only takes one circuit misfiring, or one section of the control tower breaking down, before a cascade of systemic health problems begin. That is, until the evolution of Functional Neurology.

Functional Neurology is the discipline that evaluates brain function through a comprehensive neurological examination. The purpose of this practice is to both learn and identify strategies that can be used to improve functioning. Our series of Functional Neurology retreats will cover topics such as neurodegenerative diseases, traumatic brain injury, vestibular disorders, and more! You will leave equip to help with many of the broken brain issues Clinician’s face today.

During this retreat we will discuss necessary tools when treating the following:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Mental health disorders
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Concussions

Neurodegenerative diseases such as and especially Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Dementia
Tools discussed and used to support brain recovery may include, but are not limited to, brain exercises, diet, nutrition, and at times medications. You may find a detailed agenda listed below.

During our series of Functional Neurology retreats, not only will you get to learn, listen, and live alongside two of Functional Neurology’s leading experts, but you will also get time to let your own brain rest, relax, and restore. At The Point Retreats, we want you to receive the same time for self-care as the time and care you provide to your patients.

During our 2 night/3 day Functional Neurology retreats, you will have the opportunity to enjoy 5-star meals prepared by our health and wellness chef, spend time relaxing in nature, work-out in our log garage gym, do yoga at sunrise by the lake, soak in our sauna, and much more! Our setting is cozy and intimate for a group of like-minded learners to come together to share deep and meaningful conversations around health and healthcare. We provide a space where the fireplace is always glowing, the majestic log cabins are always inviting, and the attire includes comfortable slippers and warm blankets. We care for your own brain and body by providing a health-infused setting for the most optimal learning and living CME experience. We promise your brain and body will thank you for the luxury!

Please note you can participate in one, two or all three of the Functional Neurology retreats.
