Brain Body Balance Sweden

I know… reading research is boring.

I also know this post probably won’t get as many likes or views as videos of me chasing, bouncing or dancing with our little superheroes.

At Brain Body Balance, we don’t use tools because they are fashionable. We use them because there is emerging research suggesting they support the brain and nervous system.

Photobiomodulation (red and near-infrared light) is one of those tools.

Published research has reported improvements in areas such as irritability, social awareness, communication and repetitive behaviours in some children with autism. Other studies suggest it may support mitochondrial function, reduce neuroinflammation and improve functional brain connectivity.

Is it a cure? No.
Is more high-quality research still needed? Absolutely.

But science doesn’t move forward by waiting until every question has been answered. It moves forward because researchers continue to investigate promising therapies while clinicians carefully observe what happens in the real world.

The same is true for mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. No research paper can fully capture what it feels like when a parent says, “He’s sleeping through the night,” or “She looked at me when I called her name,” or “He spoke for the first time.”

Those moments matter.

My hope is that, as the evidence continues to grow, more families will have access to these therapies alongside conventional care, and more children will have the opportunity to benefit.

Until then, I’ll keep doing what I’ve always done:
Read and share the science. Follow the evidence. Keep learning. And always put the children first. 🙏

Repost from Fighter Finn another little warrior we have been watching and 🤲 for.

“When we shared about hyperbaric oxygen therapy a few months ago it definitely got people’s attention (not all good, but that’s alright). Like I’ve said before, we don’t do anything without research and prayer!

While it is not a “mainstream” treatment it is one with a lot of research behind it. There are so many studies showing the positive impact it has on brain healing. (It actually has benefits for so many other minor and chronic illnesses as well.)

We completed 40 dives with plans of taking a break and continuing again! We had hoped the break wouldn’t be so long but exciting news!! We officially have our home chamber and will be starting another round of dives!

The last round Finn’s alertness and eye tracking improved, it supported him through medication weaning, and his head control was noticeably better!
We are really excited to be able to continue this treatment with him. While I never say that there is just one treatment that has made the biggest impact, this one certainly has benefited him greatly!”

🖤 Ending the day with one of nature’s oldest gifts… Humic Minerals.

It might not look very appealing…
A simple black liquid.
No artificial flavours.
No sugar.
No preservatives.

Just a naturally occurring substance that has been forming beneath the Earth’s surface for centuries as plants and organic matter slowly decompose.

This evening, I’m taking Humic Minerals after my meal as part of my daily routine.
So, what is Humic Acid?

Humic acid is one of nature’s most complex organic compounds and has been studied for its role in supporting a healthy digestive system and microbiome.

Research suggests it may help:
🌱 Support a healthy gut microbiome by acting as a natural prebiotic.
🛡️ Provide antioxidant support to help protect cells from oxidative stress.
⚡ Support the body’s natural energy production by providing naturally occurring trace minerals.
🧠 Support normal immune function and overall wellbeing.
🌿 Assist the body’s normal digestive and elimination processes.

Unlike Fulvic Acid, which has a very small molecular size and may help transport nutrients, Humic Acid works mainly within the digestive tract, making it a natural choice to take after a meal.

Taking humic at night gives your body the necessary tools to remove bio waste and toxins while you sleep.

Humic Molecules are mothers nature’s janitor
Like a Velcro ball collecting toxic elements.

This is my personal routine and not medical advice. I’m simply sharing what I’ve chosen to include in my own health journey.

🥗 First meal of the day @ 13:00
🥑 Avocado
🥬 kale
🍅 Tomato
🍗 Chicken
💧 Water

I believe real food should always be the foundation of good health. However, I also appreciate that modern farming, food processing, storage, and transport can influence the nutrient content of the foods we eat. That’s why I choose to complement my meals with Fulvic Minerals.

So, what is Fulvic Acid?
Fulvic acid is a naturally occurring compound formed over centuries as plants and organic matter decompose. It is one of nature’s richest sources of bioactive organic compounds and naturally occurring trace minerals.

It has been studied for its potential role in:
✅ Supporting nutrient and mineral absorption
✅ Helping transport vitamins, minerals, and amino acids throughout the body
✅ Supporting normal energy metabolism
✅ Providing antioxidant support by helping protect cells from oxidative stress
✅ Supporting gut health and the body’s natural detoxification processes

One thing I find particularly interesting is its very small molecular size, which allows it to interact easily with nutrients in the digestive system. That’s one of the reasons I include it as part of my routine.

Start slow and see how your body react. We are all different🙏

Why I Start Every Morning with Mountain Blood (Shilajit)?

Every morning, the first thing I do is dissolve a small amount of Mountain Blood (Shilajit) in warm water and drink it on an empty stomach.

I’m currently practising intermittent fasting, so I don’t eat breakfast. Most mornings, Mountain Blood and hot water are all I have until later in the day.

What’s surprised me the most is how I feel.

I regularly work long hours with families, often seeing children back-to-back in intensive therapy sessions. Despite fasting, I personally feel:
✅ Calm, steady energy
✅ A clear and focused mind
✅ No mid-morning energy crash
✅ Able to stay fully present with every child and family

For me, that’s been one of the biggest benefits.

So, what is Mountain Blood?
Mountain Blood, also known as Shilajit, is a natural mineral-rich resin formed over centuries as plants break down under pressure in mountainous regions. It naturally contains fulvic acid, humic substances, and dozens of trace minerals. Researchers have been studying Shilajit for its potential role in supporting energy metabolism, mitochondrial function, and general wellbeing.

Of course, no supplement replaces the foundations of health. I still believe the biggest difference comes from:
🌿 Eating real, nutrient-dense food
💧 Staying well hydrated
😴 Prioritising good sleep
🏃‍♂️ Moving every day
🧘 Managing stress

Mountain Blood is simply one tool that complements those habits.

This is my personal experience, not medical advice. What works for me may not work the same way for everyone. But so far, I’m genuinely impressed with how I feel, and it’s become a routine I look forward to every morning.

Have you ever tried Shilajit? It’s not for everyone and for sure our children won’t drink it. Taste like liquid tarmac but will share some plant base mineral options that can be dissolved in water with no taste.

Sometimes it’s good to put work aside and simply enjoy the moment.

Today Sofia and I are celebrating Morocco’s 🇲🇦 victory over the Netherlands 🇳🇱. What a match!

Now we’re looking forward to cheering on Sweden 🇸🇪 tonight against France 🇫🇷. May the best team win. ⚽️

Life is short. Find reasons to laugh, celebrate, and make memories with your children. Those moments often become the ones they remember the most.

As much as Brain Body Balance is about supporting the brain and body, it’s also about supporting the human behind them. Joy, connection, movement, and shared experiences are all part of a healthy life.

Congratulations Morocco! 🇲🇦❤️
Good luck Sweden tonight! 🇸🇪🤝🇫🇷

“Aveer heard his name… and turned toward me.”

To me, it’s a reminder of just how extraordinary the human brain really is.

When Aveer was leaving last Sunday, I called his name, he turned his head and looked at me.

Let’s break this down; his ears detected the sound. The auditory nerve carried the signal to the brainstem, where his brain began working out where the sound was coming from. The information then travelled to higher brain centres responsible for attention, recognition and motor planning.

Only after all of that did his brain decide to respond.
Then came the movement.

His neck muscles had to activate in the correct sequence. His postural muscles had to stabilise his body. His vestibular system had to detect the movement of his head. His cerebellum had to coordinate the rotation, while his brain continuously adjusted muscle activity to keep his head steady once he had turned.

For most of us, this happens so automatically that we never stop to think about it.

For a child with cerebral palsy and neurological challenges, every one of those steps matters.

What makes this moment even more special is that Aveer has severe visual impairment. Yet when his name is called, he doesn’t simply react to a sound—he appears to orient his face toward the person speaking. Whether this reflects social engagement, auditory orientation, or the remarkable adaptability of the developing brain, it reminds us that meaningful progress can sometimes be measured in seconds rather than words.

These are the moments that give families hope.
They remind us that rehabilitation isn’t always about dramatic quick changes. Sometimes it’s about helping the brain connect one more network, one more pathway, and one more opportunity to engage with the world.

Never underestimate what looks like a “small” milestone. Behind it lies one of the most complex pieces of engineering in the known universe—the human brain.
