Benefits of the Brain Body Recovery Lab: 

The goal of the Brain-Body Recovery Lab is to improve various physical and mental conditions, such as energy, sleep and self-regulation. The Sanctuary team aims to make results stick long-term by:

  • Treating root causes: The Brain-Body Recovery Lab goes beyond simply addressing symptoms, using functional medicine treatment and extensive labs to guide a plan that targets the root cause.
  • Providing clear next steps: The data from the Brain-Body Recovery Lab will expertly guide you through a 30-day personalized plan and aftercare instructions.
  • Maximizing treatment: This program’s targeted design ensures that everything is tailored to your needs, helping you feel better and get the most out of treatment.

How Does The Brain Body Recovery Lab Work?

Initially, each client will go through a functional medicine assessment and laboratory bloodwork for our team to get a comprehensive look at potential imbalances, deficiencies or conditions that need support. From there, we can guide individual treatment programs that prioritize and address your needs and goals.

Creating the Personal Plan

Some fundamental principles of brain-body recovery involve self-experimentation and optimization. At its core, brain recovery is about encouraging individuals to take charge of their biology and challenging traditional medicine methods. Here are some of the top five places we start with brain lab recovery tools.

Functional Nutrition

Very few know that nutrition and addiction recovery can go hand in hand. What you eat can impact your health and play a part in your addiction recovery. At The Sanctuary, we encourage clients to eat plenty of protein, vitamins and minerals to support brain functions. Your personal plan can include daily supplements as part of an effort to support your nutrition.

During the 30-day program, we provide gourmet farm-to-table meals to help clients feel their best. We also offer gardening and nutrition courses to teach clients to continue healthier habits outside of treatment.

Sleep Optimization

Our brains need proper sleep to operate at their best every day. Sleep can help keep us alert, boost our problem-solving skills and lower stress levels, which is critical for our physical and mental health.

We can help you find a sleep schedule that works best for you so that you create healthier habits. Some tips we start with to optimize sleep include avoiding stimulants, heavy meals before bed, evening screen time and napping throughout the day.

Exercise and Physical Activity

Moving your body releases chemicals called endorphins, which can boost mood and improve overall mental well-being. This makes exercise one of the first natural treatment options for those with a mental health condition or addiction.

We have a state-of-the-art gym on campus for clients to use for stress management and physical wellness. Our gym is a safe space for you to try out different types of physical activities, such as walking, yoga, running or weight lifting.

Stress Management Techniques

Prolonged periods of elevated stress can lead to anxiety, depression, addiction and panic disorders. The Sanctuary uses biofeedback technology to discover what stress management techniques can work best for you, such as practicing mindfulness, meditation, deep breathing and more.

Biotechnology and Tools

Through today’s advanced biotechnology, we have more power to track our mental health than ever before. Smartwatches and smartphone apps are equipped with health-monitoring features such as sleep patterns, heart rate, blood pressure and activity levels — all factors that are important to brain recovery.

Some of the biotechnologies we use in our brain-body recovery lab include:

  • Dry floatation therapy: Dry floatation therapy simulates a weightless and floating sensation without forcing you to get wet. During a session, you will lie on a water-filled membrane to eliminate sensory distractions and promote relaxation.
  • Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy: PEMF therapy provides small, intermittent electrical currents to the brain. This treatment helps reduce inflammation and pressure in the brain.
  • Red light therapy: Red light therapy involves sitting in a room with infrared light. Prolonged exposure to this light source boosts serotonin and dopamine levels, which is especially helpful against seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and depression.
  • Hypoxic therapy: Hypoxic therapy focuses on increasing an individual’s oxygen levels, addressing chronic mental health conditions and strengthening the cardiovascular system. During therapy sessions, you will be exposed to simulated high-altitude environments while relaxing in comfort.
  • Brain laser therapy: Brain laser therapy uses low levels of infrared light to target specific areas of brain tissue, stimulating neurotransmitter release. This helps relieve individuals with mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and addiction.
  • Whole body vibration (WBV) therapy: WBV therapy involves performing exercises on a vibrating platform. This technique can improve muscle and bone health while stimulating cognitive functioning.
  • Cold plunge therapy: Cold plunge therapy involves short periods of immersion in cold water, which can help reduce inflammation, improve circulation and support muscle recovery. These effects can translate to improved mental clarity, reduced anxiety and better emotional regulation.
