Treatment
Autonomic imbalance today is rarely "one toxin, one pill." It is more like a habit that got reinforced: chronic sympathetic pushes (stress, infection, environmental load, poor sleep) paired with weaker and weaker parasympathetic pulls (recovery, nitric oxide availability, antioxidant reserves). So the treatment we use is also habit-like: six prongs that keep nudging the ANS back toward balance, three from how you live, three from what you replenish. These prongs come from decades of clinical autonomic practice and mitochondrial support work.
The Six Prongs (Overview)
- Lifestyle 1 – Mediterranean-pattern nutrition: lowers inflammatory load, supports endothelial health, and gives the ANS an easier terrain to regulate.
- Lifestyle 2 – Graded exercise: teaches the sympathetic side to rise and fall appropriately instead of staying "on."
- Lifestyle 3 – Psychosocial stress reduction: quiets the hypothalamic drivers that keep sympathetic tone elevated.
- Nutraceutical 1 – Nitric oxide support (arginine / citrulline / nitrate foods): improves microcirculation so nerves and organs actually receive the signals.
- Nutraceutical 2 – Oxidative-stress reduction (ALA, CoQ10): protects the very small fibers that carry parasympathetic and sympathetic traffic.
- Nutraceutical 3 – Omega-3 / membrane and anti-inflammatory support: stabilizes cell signaling so ANS commands land cleanly.
All six are evidence-based and can be traced back to the medical literature we surface in our Research Hub; we simply organize them around the ANS instead of around single diseases.
Why Is This Necessary Now?
Because modern life stacks ANS stressors: processed diets, indoor living, environmental pollutants, post-viral syndromes, long-sitting office work, and constant cognitive load. Almost everyone ends up with a mild form of dysautonomia; most just compensate. The six-prong plan is for when you want the ANS to stop compensating and start normalizing.
How Long Does It Take?
About as long as it takes to unlearn a bad posture. Nerves and vessels do adapt, but they adapt on the scale of weeks to months, not days. Early wins are usually better sleep and less orthostatic "cost." Deeper wins — blood-pressure smoothness, GI regularity, lower cardiometabolic risk — show up after the oxidative and endothelial pieces have been in place for a while. The key is continuity, not intensity.
Personalized Treatment
Our software personalizes this by tying the prongs to your actual autonomic readouts: if your parasympathetic arm is depleted, we bias toward stress reduction and antioxidant/nitric support; if you're locked in sympathetic overdrive, we emphasize graded exercise and endothelial support before piling on stimulants. Each follow-up ANS read lets us ratchet the plan closer to "balanced at rest, flexible on demand."
