Thyroid Function

If you are taking thyroid medication such as synthroid and still have thyroid symptoms it may because you have a different type of thyroid problem. There are many types of thyroid problems. For example your T4 must be converted to T3 in order to have effect. If your ability to convert T4 to T3 is faulty, then taking the synthetic form of T4 may not help you. After years of studying thyroid function and doing research I have found the answer to some of the resistant thyroid problems.
You need to figure out WHY there is poor conversion. Conversion occurs in the liver and gut.
There are functional tests to determine this problem! Yes it is possible to feel better!

Belly fat

Belly fat can be stubborn. Some try to do abdominal exercises to no avail. Others try general exercise. Or diet.



The real key to getting off of that treadmill is to find out the cause of the belly fat. One size does not fit all. Belly fat is related to hormones. There are several hormone patterns. And each one needs a specific approach.



If you have an adrenal body type your diet, exercise will be different then a thyroid thype.



How do you find your hormone body type? By specific testing. Other wise you are guessing.

So thyroid, hypothyroid, adrenal, cortisol, insulin, growth hormone, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are all important. And your blood sugar must be under control.



There are fat burning hormones and fat storing hormones. You will not lose weight if you are activating your fat storing hormones such as cortisol, estrogen, and insulin.



Get off the treadmill, get tested, get the right start, then get inbalance, get healthy, lose weight, feel better and look better!

Brain health

Our brain needs fuel and activation to be healthy and functional. Fuel includes food and oxygen.
Activation means movement, especially the upper spine. Functional neurology using BBT (brain based therapy).
Many conditions today, such as dizziness, and thyroid are affected by fuel and activation of the brain.

Thyroid conditions

Tired? Can't lose weight? Hair falling out? Synthroid doesn't help?
New research shows that many with a thyroid problem do not respond well to thyroid medication.
I have a special interest in thyroid conditions.

I have researched the subject for many years. In fact I was an author of a research paper on hypothyroid and muscle testing published in JMPT. If you would like a copy of it please contact me.

We test for thyroid problems, and often can help thyroid problems by addressing the underlying cause of the thyroid problem. We are located in Eagan, a suburb of St. Paul.

We approach thyroid problems metabolically and with brain based therapy

Immune and autoimmune Problems

Many health conditions are due to hyper, hypo or imbalanced immune responses. Examples include rheumatoid arthritis, restless leg syndrome, multiple sclerosis, heart disease and cholesterol (inflammation), arthritis, digestive issues, dizziness and vertigo,hypothyroid, cancer, allergies, irritable bowel syndrome, celiac, and lupus to name a few.

Immune responses affect the nervous system.



Our approach is to test for functional neurological imbalances and to check for metabolic/immune problems.



Often conditions that do not respond to drugs for symptom can be helped by using brain based therapy and metabolic care.



We are located in at LifeSpring Chiropractic in Eagan in the south metro of St. Paul next to Apple Valley and Burnsville.



Look for Dr. Gilman's talks in school district's 196 (Rosemount/Eagan/Apple Valley)
and 191 (Burnsville) for adult education.
Topics include 300% More Energy and Eat like an Elephant and look like a Gazelle

Brain Based Therapy (Neuro metabolic therapy)

Neuro relates to Brain Based testing. This involves testing the cerebellum and cortex for imbalances. Metabolic testing involves lab tests and questionnaires to determine nutritional status, immune function, hormonal function like adrenal and thyroid. Without addressing both neurological and metabolic aspects it is difficult to help chronic problems.

Many chronic conditions such as MS, Restless leg syndrome, thyroid conditions, vertigo and balance problems, fibromyalgia and insomnia can be helped by identifying the functional problems.

I am Dr. Phil Gilman DC . Our office is Lifespring Chiropractic

We are located in Eagan, MN, close to the Burnsville and Apple Valley borders at 35E and Cliff.

Brain Based Therapy

Brain Based Therapy is an exciting advancement in health care. Our focus is now on those whom medicine and ordinary chiropractic have failed.
