TMS for anxiety is not yet FDA-cleared but is increasingly used off-label with growing evidence. Learn about right vs. left DLPFC targeting, GAD and PTSD evidence, iTBS protocols, how it compares to SSRIs and benzodiazepines, and what treatment looks like.
Most labs flag vitamin D as “normal” at 30 ng/mL, but the research on immune function, bone density, and disease prevention points to a much higher target. Here’s how to get there safely.
Migraine and gut health are linked through the gut-brain axis: over 90% of serotonin is made in the gut, and migraine patients are 2 to 3 times more likely to have GI conditions like IBS.
IV vitamin therapy is everywhere, from wellness lounges to integrative clinics. Here’s what the research actually supports, what’s marketing, and the risks you should know about.
In Reno, Nevada, fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) is a specialist treatment for recurrent C. diff, with two FDA approved products, Rebyota (2022) and Vowst (2023). For IBS, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis it remains investigational and is best accessed through a clinical trial.
Exosome therapy is not established as safe or effective outside clinical trials, and the FDA states that no exosome product is approved. The human evidence is limited to small trials in graft-versus-host disease, COVID-19 respiratory failure and diabetic foot ulcers.
Heavy metal detox that is supported by evidence means medical chelation after blood or urine testing confirms a raised metal level. Foot baths, zeolite and detox drops do not remove metals from tissue.
Regenerative treatments for back pain promise tissue healing over symptom masking. Here’s what PRP, stem cell therapy, and prolotherapy actually deliver, based on current evidence.
At a Glance Shockwave therapy has Level 1 evidence (multiple randomized controlled trials) for plantar fasciitis, one of its strongest indications. Success rates for chronic plantar fasciitis range from 65 to 80 percent across published studies. Most protocols involve 3 to 5 sessions spaced one week apart, with improvement continuing for 8 to 12 weeks…
Oral BPC-157 healed ulcers, colitis and fistulas in rat studies because it survives stomach acid, but no human trial has tested it for any gut condition. Here is the animal evidence, the doses practitioners use, and where FDA stands.
Colon hydrotherapy, or colonic irrigation, runs warm filtered water into the colon through a rectal tube over 45 to 60 minutes. Its best supported use is bowel prep before colonoscopy; constipation relief is promising, and detox claims are not supported.
Shockwave therapy (ESWT) sends acoustic pressure waves into chronic tendon, fascia and bone injuries to reduce pain and restart healing. It is used mainly for plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow and calcific shoulder tendinitis, with mixed to strong evidence depending on the condition.
