Meet Dr. Sarah Young
"I have spent much of my career helping people make sense of what happens when the brain, body, and life stop fitting into simple categories. My work today sits at the intersection of neuroscience, functional and integrative medicine, nervous system support, neuroplasticity, behavior change and whole person care." - Dr. Sarah Young
Dr. Sarah Young is a neurointegrative and functional medicine practitioner, author, educator, and founder of NeuroSynergy Integrative Health. Her perspective is informed by more than a decade of work in adult neurological rehabilitation, including experience supporting people affected by brain injury, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, dementia, cognitive and communication changes, and complex neurological conditions.

Why I Do This Work
Long before NeuroSynergy had a name, I was working in adult neurological rehabilitation with people navigating brain injury, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, dementia, cognitive changes, communication changes, and lives that had changed in ways no single test could fully capture.
Then brain injury became personal.
My own experiences with traumatic brain injury changed the questions I was willing to ask. I became increasingly interested in why similar symptoms could arise in very different contexts, why the brain could not be separated from sleep, digestion, stress physiology, hormones, nourishment, environment, meaning, or daily life, and why knowing what to do did not always make doing it possible.
That curiosity eventually became NeuroSynergy.
What that means when I work with someone
I do not believe people need another person to tell them what their experience is supposed to mean.
I believe they deserve help seeing more of the picture.
That means listening for patterns without forcing a story onto them. Using testing when it would answer a useful question, not simply because a test exists. Paying attention to physiology and to capacity. Respecting evidence and lived experience. Knowing when to investigate, when to simplify, and when the response to a small experiment gives us new information.
Most of all, it means keeping the person in the equation.
The same symptom can ask different questions
A person who feels foggy after poor sleep raises different questions than someone whose thinking changes after standing, after meals, during sensory overload, or progressively regardless of context.
The symptom name may be the same. The useful next question may not be.
That is why NeuroSynergy begins with curiosity before conclusion
Our Expertise
The NeuroSynergy Healing Map is one of the ways we organize the bigger picture across Form, Flow, Field, Awareness, and Essence.
Want to see how this perspective becomes an actual way of working?
Explore the NeurSYnergy Approach to see how we widen the picture, organize what matters, and choose useful next steps.
You do not to know the whole path to choose a useful next step.
If you would like help deciding what kind of support fits, begin with a Whole You Conversation. It is a complimentary 15–30 minute conversation about what you are experiencing, what you are hoping for, and what kind of support may make sense next.
Brain & Body Reimagined helps people make sense of complex brain-body experiences, see more of the picture, and participate more fully in what comes next.
