#10 The Life of a Neuron: Fueling Brain Health Through Chiropractic
In this episode of The Appalachian Wellness Connection, Dr. Kevin Britt and Dr. Micheal Bryan dive into the life of a neuron—how it functions, communicates, and adapts—and why this matters so much for your health. You’ll explore the three essential things every neuron needs to thrive (fuel, nutrients, and stimulation), and how chiropractic care uniquely supports those needs by improving proprioceptive input and nervous system efficiency.
They also break down how spinal adjustments influence ion channels, firing thresholds, and neuroplasticity—all backed by scientific research. If you’ve ever wondered how your brain rewires itself or why movement impacts mood, memory, and focus, this conversation will connect the dots in a clear, practical way.
