Downregulating the Nervous System: Interview with Dr. Jess Lofgren

Welcome to the SYNC Your Life podcast episode #243! On this podcast, we will be diving into all things women’s hormones to help you learn how to live in alignment with your female physiology. Too many women are living with their check engine lights flashing. You know you feel “off” but no matter what you do, you can’t seem to have the energy, or lose the weight, or feel your best. This podcast exists to shed light on the important topic of healthy hormones and cycle syncing, to help you gain maximum energy in your life. 

In today’s episode, I interview Dr. Jess Lofgren, also known as "The Brain and Body Doc." Dr. Jess is a board certified functional neurologist, D.C., specializing in vestibular therapy, mind-body work, and root cause approach to health. Before obtaining her doctorate in chiropractic, she earned a Bachelor of Science, graduating cum laude, from Virginia Tech with a degree in Human Nutrition, Foods and Exercise. She graduated magna cum laude from Palmer College of Chiropractic and received both the Academic Excellence and Clinical Excellence Award.

While in chiropractic school, she served as President of Functional Neurology Club, was a National Representative for the Motion Palpation Institute and an Executive Officer for Soft Tissue Club. She also worked as a teaching assistant for Activator Methods, where I earned my Level 1 certification in Activator Technique. 

During her time in chiropractic school, she began her education in the field of Chiropractic Neurology with the Carrick Institute of Graduate Studies. Upon graduation, she received her Diplomate from the American Chiropractic Neurology Board and my Fellow from the American College of Functional Neurology. She now has over 800 hours in post-graduate education in Functional Neurology, including specialty training in Human Performance, Concussion, and Vestibular Disorders and have lectured to other doctors across the world on Clinical Neuroscience.

Her passion for the study of human movement does not end in the field of chiropractic and medicine. She is also a certified 200-hour yoga teacher, allowing her to study human movement and the the effects of yoga on the nervous system and body from a unique perspective. She completed my 200 hour training in Bali, Indonesia with Yogakoh.
