About Cognitive & Mood Related Brain Health
Cognitive health is the cornerstone of mental well-being and overall quality of life. From brain fog and memory lapses to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, the brain’s health is intricately connected to the rest of the body.
Cognitive challenges often stem from issues like neuroinflammation, neurotransmitter imbalances (e.g., serotonin and dopamine), and poor gut-brain communication. At CIH, we understand that optimal brain health requires a comprehensive approach that addresses these root causes while enhancing overall wellness.
Common Symptoms & Conditions:
Brain fog, memory issues, and fatigue
Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease
Executive function difficulties
Anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD
Neurodivergence, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
The Brain-Body Connection:
The mind and body are inseparable. A healthy brain supports mental health, and vice versa. By identifying and addressing root causes—such as inflammation or neurotransmitter imbalances—we empower you to achieve better mental clarity, mood, and overall well-being.

Patient Success Stories
Here’s how CIH patients have reclaimed their brain health and vitality:
Diana B., a patient experiencing dementia symptoms like memory issues, relied on post-it notes for daily tasks.
