In this clinical review, Dr. Patrick Nemechek discusses a framework for understanding why some people develop problems with focus, fidgeting, headaches, and nicotine use after a concussion or other brain injury. His central point is that the body must constantly regulate blood pressure upward to the head when we are upright, and that this regulation […]

Publication date: 2024-04-20 In this research update, Dr. Patrick Nemechek reviews a single Long COVID case to illustrate how he sequences different parts of his protocol when symptoms persist after one viral event—and then flare again after a subsequent infection. The goal, as he frames it, is to control chronic inflammatory signaling that appears to

In this talk, Dr. Patrick Nemechek focuses on a specific form of “overnutrition”—a concept he says is becoming more common in scientific and medical discussions—where nutrients in excess can create harm. His key point is that some substances can be safely excreted when intake is modest, but others can build up or drive damaging downstream

Note: This article is a proposal based solely on the supplied video transcript and reflects Dr. Patrick Nemechek’s comments and clinical interpretations in that video. It is intended for human review and educational use only. In this video, Dr. Patrick Nemechek discusses “long COVID” in children—symptoms that persist after the acute infectious phase has resolved.

Parents sometimes reach a point on Dr. Patrick Nemechek’s protocol where their child has made “tons of recovery,” seems close to normal, and the natural next question is: Do they still need inulin? In a recent discussion, Dr. Nemechek addresses how he thinks about long-term management when a child is doing well on fish oil,

Dr. Patrick Nemechek discusses “brain blood pressure,” also called cerebral perfusion pressure, and why he believes low cerebral perfusion (“cerebral hypoperfusion”) can be a major driver of day-to-day symptoms in children with autism. In the video, he first uses a familiar example—post-concussion symptoms in otherwise neurotypical teens and adults—to describe how low brain blood pressure

Parents of children with autism sometimes see a sudden, dramatic worsening of behavior that seems to come “out of nowhere.” Dr. Patrick Nemechek describes this as a common and understandably frightening pattern—especially when a child who was doing relatively well suddenly becomes much more dysregulated. In the clinical framework he discusses, these episodes often align

When families consider starting the Nemechek Protocol, one of the most common fears Dr. Patrick Nemechek hears is that the beginning will be “sheer chaos.” In this video, he addresses that worry directly—based on his clinical experience—by outlining a set of early physiological and behavioral patterns he commonly sees, and why the most intense period

Minor cognitive impairment (MCI) is often described in a way that can alarm patients and families—especially when it’s loosely framed as “pre-Alzheimer’s.” In this clinical review, Dr. Patrick Nemechek challenges that label directly, emphasizing that the majority of people with MCI do not go on to develop Alzheimer’s disease. He also draws a practical distinction

People often use the word “dizzy” to describe a wide range of uncomfortable sensations—feeling off-balance, unsteady, like the room is moving, or like they might faint. In this video, Dr. Patrick Nemechek explains that “dizzy” is common language, but medically it’s not very precise. To help patients communicate symptoms more clearly, he outlines a practical

In this video, Dr. Patrick Nemechek shares an overview of how he thinks about supporting people undergoing standard cancer treatment. He emphasizes that he supports conventional oncology care—such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery, hormonal therapies, and immunotherapy (including checkpoint inhibitors)—and describes an additional strategy he refers to as metabolic therapy. In Dr. Nemechek’s framework, metabolic

In this video, Dr. Patrick Nemechek describes the autonomic nervous system as the body’s “automatic” nervous system—the part that runs critical functions you can’t consciously control. In his explanation, the autonomics are responsible for coordinating organ-level “machinery” such as digestion, blood pressure regulation to the brain, hormone fluctuations, and (as research is increasingly exploring) aspects

In this research review, Dr. Patrick Nemechek discusses a recurring theme he says he sees across many chronic neurological and central nervous system (CNS) conditions: problems that may begin in the intestinal tract. He focuses on what the literature often calls the gut–brain axis (or, as he emphasizes, a broader gut–immune–brain axis) and how altered

Long COVID, POTS, and Autonomic Nervous System Dysfunction For many people, recovering from the initial COVID infection is only the beginning. Weeks or months after the fever, respiratory symptoms, and other acute symptoms have resolved, a substantial number of patients develop new or persistent problems that are now collectively referred to as Long COVID. Among

“`html POTS Is Real — Understanding Autonomic Dysfunction and Recovery Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, or POTS, can be profoundly frustrating because patients may feel very ill while routine testing fails to explain why. Common symptoms include fatigue, headaches, lightheadedness, difficulty concentrating, exercise intolerance, anxiety-like sensations, and a rapid increase in heart rate when upright. These

Dr. Nemechek discusses a unique case in which a woman recovered twice from severe congestive heart failure due to emotional traumas (Takotsubo Syndrome).

Dr. Nemechek discusses which component of olive oil is responsible for most of its anti-inflammatory properties. Spoiler alert: it’s not the level of phenols.

Dr. Nemechek describes a case of POTS that required the use of both rifaximin and glutamine to eliminate the inflammation from a leaky gut. After this was achieved, the patient had a nearly complete recovery over the following few months.

Dr. Nemechek discusses how inflammation can be triggered by 2 forms of leaky gut. One is from SIBO or bacterial overgrowth, and the other is from glutamine deficiency due to the hyperinflammation triggered by COVID.

Dr. Nemechek discusses the importance of maintaining a focus on inflammation as well as blood sugar levels in order to maximize your health and minimize the risk of cancer, and cardiovascular disease. https://youtu.be/s7oqS8wJIww

Stuttering is becoming a more common symptom among patients seeking out my help for autonomic dysfunction as well as chronic post-COVID symptoms. Seems it might be related to SIBO.    

Excellent paper demonstrating how low heart rate variability (HRV) is associated with increased inflammation. High-frequency heart rate variability (HF-HRV) had the strongest inverse relationship with proinflammatory cytokines. HF-HRV represents the functionality of the vagus nerve, the conduit of all parasympathetic signaling. The vagus nerve can lose function because of chronically elevated blood sugar, chemotherapies, and ironically chronic

It’s no secret that antibiotics are one of the most common treatments for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), but a recent study reported better control of bacterial overgrowth of the small intestine (SIBO) with repeated monthly 10-day courses of antibiotics than a single 10-day course of an antibiotic. “This is exactly what I have discovered

Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) has a wide range of potentially powerful effects. Another study has demonstrated increased stroke recovery when VNS is combined with physical therapy. The study involved 19 rehabilitation centers within the U.S. and U.K. and involved 108 participants. The patients whose strokes had occurred an average of 3 years prior whose received
