SIBO and Traumatic Brain Injuries with Dr Kayle Sandberg-Lewis

In today’s episode, Dr Nirala Jacobi is in conversation with
Kayle Sandberg-Lewis.  Kayle recently gave a lecture at the
New Orleans SIBO conference on traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and
SIBO.


 


Kayle holds a master’s degree in Behavioral Medicine and has a
private practice specializing in acquired brain injuries, anxiety
and stress-related disorders. In recent years, she has been
exploring the link between brain injuries and gastrointestinal
disorders.


 


Board-certified by the Biofeedback Certification International
Alliance as a Neurofeedback Practitioner, she is also trained in
peripheral biofeedback. Kayle has several tools at her disposal
to help the disordered brain calm itself and function more
optimally thereby leading to improved vagal tone.


 


Kayle serves as adjunct faculty at the National University of
Natural Medicine where she created the Applied Psychophysiology
track in the Master of Science in Integrative Mental Health.


 


Topics discussed include:


How Kayle entered the traumatic brain injury field.

SIBO, the migrating motor complex, and how TBI can impact
this.

Differentiating parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous
system dominance.

The risks of sympathetic dominance to the digestive system.

What common injuries are actually classed as TBIs, and how
might this contribute to gastrointestinal health?

The cumulative effect of minor head injuries.
