Background

From a young age, I was aware of how people with chronic illness can suffer. My mother was diagnosed with Crohn's disease before I was born and endured excruciating symptoms for 15 years. The standard conventional medicine approach to Crohn's then was much the same as it is now - prescribe steroids to lessen symptoms and wait until the colon needs to be removed surgically. Scientifically valid, effective supplemental and nutritional therapies were scoffed at by her doctors as not worth pursuing. The number of patients with chronic illness under my care who have successfully gone into symptom-free remission is a constant reminder of how inadequate a one-dimensional approach to patient care can be. I graduated from Cleveland Chiropractic College at the age of 23 and have been active in continuing education to ensure that I have the latest tools and resources available. I specialize in treating those who are told by other doctors that there is no treatment, who are told that they will helplessly watch their chronic condition progress and there is nothing they can do. Philosophy

Headlines abound that promise 'Gut-health,' 'The One Supplement To Heal Your Joint Pain' and 'The Diet To Heal Your Autoimmune Disease' - giving the impression that you just have to do or buy one thing to heal. My new patient appointments are an hour-long because it's all important. Your diet, environment, emotional health, supplements, family history, and patient history since birth - it's all relevant when we are unraveling an illness that, most likely, took decades to create. The testing and nutritional medicines you receive will be completely unique to you as a patient. I do not have a 'one size fits all' treatment plan, as you heal we will adjust your treatment based on your renewed health goals.

We are excited to begin “From Recovery to Resilience: Rewiring the Nervous System,” a free 5-part interactive Facebook Live series with Dr. Brian Lum.

Our first session, Part 1: Strengthening the Structure of the Nervous System, will explore how the body’s physical structure can influence nervous system function, regulation, and resilience.

Throughout this series, Dr. Lum will guide you through an innovative approach to nervous system rewiring, including strengthening the structure, releasing tension, repatterning movement, fine-tuning the senses, and bringing these elements together to cultivate greater resilience.

Because each session builds on the last, we recommend attending as consistently as possible to get the most out of the full series. You will leave with a clearer understanding of how the nervous system impacts health, along with actionable tools and exercises you can begin applying during the series and continue using long after it ends.

Healing can be more than simply returning to baseline. With the right support, the nervous system can learn new patterns, build new capacity, and help the body move forward with even greater resilience than before.

Post-COVID reflux and GERD can feel frustrating, especially when symptoms linger or flare unexpectedly.

In this clip, Dr. Lum discusses simple ways to begin soothing the digestive system and explores the deeper patterns that may be contributing to ongoing reflux symptoms.

Carbohydrates and sugars are not inherently “bad.” We absolutely need carbohydrates to function well. They provide a major source of energy for the brain, nervous system, and working muscles, supporting both physical and cognitive function.

But if your chronic symptoms consistently escalate after eating them, it may be a sign that there are deeper patterns worth investigating.

Why do some people seem to recover after an acute infection, while others continue to experience lingering symptoms for months or even years?

Long COVID is a complex, multi-system condition shaped by numerous factors, including biological processes such as immune, inflammatory, vascular, nervous system, and cellular energy responses.

For many people, symptoms can persist despite doing everything “right,” which is why recovery often requires a deeper, more individualized understanding of what may be keeping the body from fully healing.

While each person’s experience is deeply unique, Dr. Lum has noticed certain patterns among those navigating Long COVID. In this free Facebook Live, he will share insights from his work, explore what those patterns may reveal about why symptoms persist, and discuss how this perspective can inform a more comprehensive approach to healing.

Histamine intolerance is often discussed in terms of “managing triggers,” but the bigger question is: why is the body reacting this way in the first place?

In this free Facebook Live, Dr. Brian Lum will explore potential underlying drivers of histamine intolerance and why looking beyond surface-level triggers can be an important part of deeper, more lasting healing.

Rather than focusing only on avoidance, this conversation will look at what histamine intolerance may be revealing about the body. In our practice, healing from histamine intolerance is something we see often when these deeper contributors are properly identified and addressed, and this Live will empower you with the knowledge to begin exploring those areas for yourself.

Join us live on Facebook Wednesday, May 27th at 9AM PST / 12PM EST.

P.S. We would love to invite you all to take just a couple of minutes to fill out the survey linked below so that Dr. Lum can tailor Wednesday's discussion to your specific questions, concerns, and symptom profile. Your feedback is highly appreciated!
