YOUR PATH to BRAIN RESILIENCE

Evidence-Based Protective & Restorative Brain Health Protocols

Focusing on concussion and traumatic brain injury

Introduction

Since 2014, Socol MD has provided its clients and their families with a personalized approach to the care of concussion, traumatic brain injury, and neurodegenerative disease.

Our work with individuals with autism and Trisomy 21 evolved organically from this commitment to brain health, based on important parallels between these diagnoses and neurodegenerative disorders.

The practice now draws on a deep reservoir of clinical experience and a dedication to clinically meaningful, state-of-the-art testing in:

Clinical metabolomics – reveals how cells function, the relationships between cellular systems, and ultimately our client’s health and disease risk.
Genomics –highlights potential metabolic risks, enhances our interpretation of metabolic testing, and illuminates potential risks that are not otherwise apparent.
Proprietary diagnostic imaging – provides a structural map of the brain that may uncover hidden regions of concern regardless of prior normal imaging studies.
Neurocognitive testing – measures how the brain approaches tasks that can be easily measured and tracked.
Though the practice originated with — and will always remain committed to — our veteran community, work with individuals with autism and Trisomy 21 evolved organically over time, based on a personal commitment, community interest, and important parallels between these diagnoses, traumatic brain injury, and other neurodegenerative disorders.

Protecting
Your Brain

Our use of evidence-based, metabolomic therapies to help veterans recover from traumatic brain injury seeded the foundation for a preventative concussion program.

Our experience now enables us to strengthen and protect the brains of athletes, Special Operators, and weekend warriors before a concussion or blast wave trauma occurs, using interventions that comply with the most stringent regulatory standards.

The implications are tangible and measurable: Decreased depth and severity of injury. Earlier return to play, work or service. And the ability to objectively discriminate between those who need post-injury metabolomics therapy from those who do not.

Our Compass

Certain metabolic or biochemical pathways are universally disrupted in both neurotrauma and neurodegenerative disease, regardless of the diagnosis.
These disruptions are so fundamental to brain health that Socol MD regards them as core principles – patterns that must be identified and addressed in every patient.
Beyond this foundation, orbital ideas come into play. These are the metabolic and degenerative features that distinguish one condition from another, such as how Parkinson’s Disease differs from autism. At Socol MD, our focus on orbital ideas is equal to the focus on core principles, ensuring both common and condition-specific pathways are taken into consideration.
