What symptoms are you experiencing? What are the causes of the symptoms you are experiencing? We use the recovery pyramid for this:<\/p><p class=\"p1\">We start at the beginning. Your brain controls all other systems in the body. If there is instability in the brain, physical, mental, and emotional complaints arise. Our Neuroptimal\u00ae neurofeedback training detects this instability and relays the information to the brain so it can correct itself. It calms the nervous system, reduces overstimulation, promotes a positive mindset, and decreases stress.\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"p1\">At the same time, within the mid-range, we are looking at a specific recovery plan based on supplements and dietary advice. The step-by-step recovery plan has 4 parts:<\/p><ol><li class=\"p1\">\u00a0Inhibiting viral activity and neuro-inflammation<\/li><li class=\"p1\">To calm the immune system<\/li><li class=\"p1\">Restore mitochondrial capacity (more energy)<\/li><li class=\"p1\">Tissue regeneration of lungs and muscles<\/li><\/ol><p class=\"p1\">Specific supplements and dietary advice for each of the 4 steps will ensure faster recovery from the residual symptoms of a COVID infection.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Finally, with PNEI (Psycho-Neuro-Endocrino-Immunology), we look at how the nervous system, endocrine system, and immune system communicate with each other. We use the Neuro4Profiel test for this. Neurotransmitters determine how \u2019messages\u2019 are sent through your body. When the function of your neurotransmitters is reduced, you will notice this, for example, in feelings of anxiety, increased irritability, less drive and decisiveness, a slow metabolism, insufficient emotional control, reduced sleep quality, or fatigue.<\/p><p class=\"p4\">When treating post-COVID, we often first see an increase in your capacity to handle things. You'll be better at processing stimuli, have a clearer head, be less tired, sleep better, and be able to focus more. Often, these kinds of welcome improvements provide the foundation that allows you to dare to take further steps. Ultimately, you will be able to enjoy a full social and working life again.<\/p><p class=\"p5\">Thanks to our multidisciplinary approach, with plenty of room for personal attention, we have been able to help many clients with Post-COVID complaints.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8962db1 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"8962db1\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-98f9a6c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"98f9a6c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"795\" src=\"https:\/\/brain-fit.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/Herstel-piramide-1024x1017.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1441\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brain-fit.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/Herstel-piramide-1024x1017.png 1024w, https:\/\/brain-fit.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/Herstel-piramide-300x298.png 300w, https:\/\/brain-fit.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/Herstel-piramide-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/brain-fit.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/Herstel-piramide-768x762.png 768w, https:\/\/brain-fit.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/Herstel-piramide.png 1368w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6acc4ae5 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6acc4ae5\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2080a060 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"2080a060\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"\/en\/team\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">About us<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-72da62bd elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"72da62bd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"\/en\/contact\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Get in touch<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Post-COVID \u00a0(Long COVID) Ben je besmet geraakt door COVID-19 en heb je na 3 maanden nog steeds klachten?
