Sensory Hypersensitivity: When the Nervous System Loses Its Filter

Light too bright, sound too loud, fabrics intolerable, smells overwhelming. Patients describe sensory hypersensitivity as a feature of their personality. It is actually a feature of a dysregulated nervous system — and it is treatable.

The Microbiome–Mitochondria Axis: Two Energy Systems, One Conversation

Your gut bacteria and your mitochondria are evolutionary cousins — both descended from ancient microorganisms — and they spend their lives in a sophisticated chemical dialogue. When that dialogue breaks down, the consequences ripple through every system.
