What is IASIS?

Mental Health is an ever-present, key part of our lives that abides behind the scenes of our daily demeanor. While external forces outside of our control can hinder our mental & emotional health, the quality maintained is entirely characteristic of the individual. A buffer between our external environment and internal thought processes can be formed by creating a regular routine that supports & manages stress, sleep, headaches, & mood.

Here at Simply Health, I am a practitioner of a therapy called IASIS – An FDA approved Microcurrent Neurofeedback therapy which causes brief microcurrent stimulation to the nervous system, resulting in a fluctuation of brainwaves. Of the 5 different brain waves – Alpha, Theta, Beta, Gamma, & Delta – we are addressing the Delta brain waves, retraining them to move at a healthy frequency.

When we live in a daily routine of stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, anger, migraines, & addiction, (whether it be from unaddressed trauma in our lives, a hectic schedule, or hormonal fluctuations) our Delta brain waves get frozen in defense mode. IASIS shifts the nervous system from a sympathetic state (fight or flight) to a parasympathetic state, allowing us to rest & digest. It increases Gaba & Serotonin, the neurotransmitters responsible for decreasing anxiety & maintaining a “feel good” state. 

Ultimately, IASIS rebalances, reboots, & retrains the brain to get back to a healthy state. IASIS can help with issues concerning traumatic brian injury, gut health, anxiety, depression, insomnia, autism, anger, ADD/ADHD, addiction, & migraine, to name a few. Here’s what you can expect when you come in for a treatment: 

First we’ll discuss your most bothersome symptoms, & any other concerns you may have. Next we’ll prep the skin on the forehead, temples, behind the ears, and back of the neck. Once those areas are exfoliated, the electrodes can be placed & the microcurrent stimulation can begin. This portion of treatment will only last about 6 minutes. To further emphasize the safety of microcurrent neurofeedback, it transmits signals at 1/300th of a cell phone for as short as 1/100th of a second.
