The brain is an 80-billion-strong orchestra of electrical signals, and when it is in tune, organized and balanced, it feels and functions well, emphasizes Brain Health Hawai\u2018i\u2019s Dr. Jason Keifer.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, sleep problems like insomnia, head injuries, infections and other issues can cause brain signal imbalances and disorganization, he adds.<\/p>\n

Stepping in to offer much-needed relief is Keifer \u2014 company founder, CEO and medical director \u2014 and his team at Brain Health Hawai\u2018i, which has locations in K\u0101hala, \u2018Aiea and Hawai\u2018i Kai.<\/p>\n

The company utilizes a noninvasive method of neurostimulation called transcranial magnetic stimulation, also known as TMS. It features magnetic energy to activate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms.<\/p>\n

The TMS equipment used at the company is Food and Drug Administration-approved for depression, OCD and headaches.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost people are familiar with TMS for depression \u2014 given (that) insurance companies offer coverage for TMS in people with severe depression that is not improving with counseling and medication,\u201d explains Keifer.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe use TMS to help people with depression, and a personalized version of TMS unique to Brain Health Hawai\u2018i to help people with<\/p>\n

symptoms from long COVID, concussion, PTSD, anxiety, ADHD, autism, sleep problems and for memory problems. We are seeing promising results treating people struggling with early signs of dementia,\u201d Keifer says. \u201cTMS is noninvasive, and medication-free. Most of the people we see are looking for a medication-free alternative or not responding to medications.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn psychiatry and neurology, using medication off-label is common practice. When a medication is deemed safe, doctors frequently suggest trying it off-label when it can be helpful. The same is true for TMS therapy off-label treatment,\u201d notes Keifer.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have success using TMS off-label for symptoms related to conditions that historically have been difficult to treat,\u201d proclaims Keifer. \u201cIt really is a blessing to be able to help most of these folks feel and function better.\u201d<\/p>\n

The company is also combining the TMS technology with \u201cbrain maps\u201d of each person\u2019s brain activity to personalize the balancing and optimization process for them. Keifer says his company is the only one on O\u2018ahu offering personalized, repetitive TMS (or rTMS) that involves \u201cthe use of brain mapping weekly to customize and more precisely dose the treatment.\u201d<\/p>\n

By mapping brain activity, he adds, medical professionals can now see its condition.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the brain activity is unbalanced or disorganized, we can identify where, treat it and track over time,\u201d according to Keifer.<\/p>\n

The company uses a comfortable, light, wireless EEG (electroencephalogram) cap to record brain wave activity, and the process takes a few minutes, he says.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe method of personalized brain stimulation we can use is lower energy, gentle. We find that being more precise is more important than powerful when it comes to improving brain activity. And because it is gentle, we have been able to help kids as young as 4 years old,\u201d Keifer highlights.<\/p>\n

Even athletes, entertainers and other professionals benefit from the treatment, with improved focus and physical performance, Keifer declares.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur athletes spend hours a day training every muscle in their body intensively. Personalized brain stimulation and our brain health program are like fitness for the brain,\u201d he shares. \u201cNow these athletes are adding a brain workout to their routine with good results. It makes sense \u2014 stronger brain connections are leading to improved physical and mental performance. They report getting to the \u2018zone\u2019 easier and more often.\u201d<\/p>\n

A physician with a background in internal medicine \u2014 as well as child, adolescent and adult psychiatry \u2014 Keifer was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska. He trained at University of Southern California and University of California San Diego before moving to Hawai\u2018i in 2004.<\/p>\n

He says that he\u2019s always been interested in finding treatment methods that can help people not responding to usual treatment and for those looking for alternatives to medication.<\/p>\n

About a decade ago, many of his patients at the time had a history of concussions causing symptoms that were not responsive to medication.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlso, my son had a really bad concussion when he fell from 4 feet, it was ugly \u2026 Seeing the changes in his emotions and behavior after the concussion ultimately sped up my search for treatments that could help,\u201d Keifer remembers.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, a close friend and colleague in California connected him with a leader in brain stimulation who shared his methods and technology.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to bring the best methods to Hawai\u2018i as soon as possible rather than wait for it to arrive 10 years later, and I wanted to find the best treatment for my son\u2019s concussion.<\/p>\n

\u201cA couple of our current team members took a leap of faith and left their jobs at the time as we trained and developed the program around personalized rTMS. We cleared out our 6-by-7-foot medical records closet and began treatments \u2014 starting with myself, then colleagues, friends and family,\u201d Keifer recalls. \u201cThe responses we saw were really good. People consistently reported improved sleep, focus, mood, memory and anxiety. And my son\u2019s post concussive symptoms improved and we got him back healthier and happier.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a relatively short period more people came in for sessions, and they referred their friends and family, according to Keifer.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeeing how well it worked, we went from one unit in a closet to three systems in a matter of six to 12 months. We are blessed to have a talented team with the shared vision and priority of providing the best, personalized care. It\u2019s because of this team, we have been able to help more,\u201d Keifer adds.<\/p>\n

He says that the original vision was about developing and implementing the best brain health program possible for as many people as possible in Hawai\u2018i. Now, the medical practice is currently looking at ways to make sure the outer islands have access in the near future.<\/p>\n

As for Keifer, he says that his family \u2014 especially wife Nicole \u2014 is an ongoing source of inspiration to him.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy wife continues to support this entire thing, including longer days and weeks than she signed on for. Five years ago, I asked her for two years to develop this program. It\u2019s kind of taken on a life of its own at this point and I\u2019m forever grateful that she continues to support me and the family,\u201d Keifer says. \u201cAs much as I\u2019m working, I\u2019m pretty sure she\u2019s the hardest working and most talented person I know. Taking care of everything and our four kids the way she does is special.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the patients who has been helped by Brain Health Hawai\u2018i is Angela Keen, a former local TV news reporter. She became such an admirer of the personalized treatment process that last February, Keifer hired her as the company\u2019s director of marketing, communications and provider relations.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was one of the first in Hawai\u2018i to get COVID. My symptoms started March 6, 2020, before the vaccine and before testing. It lasted eight weeks (and) shortly after I recovered, I developed long COVID,\u201d Keen shares.<\/p>\n

According to her, \u201cLong COVID brain issues are very similar to concussion. We share a very similar and parallel struggle with our mind and brain. Inflammation is the obvious culprit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since having personalized treatments from Keifer, Keen says she now has her life back.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m no longer on any medications for my brain, I have no depression, my sleep is back to normal, I wake up early for the first time in many years now, my memory and my executive function are on point, and life is good,\u201d Keen emphasizes.<\/p>\n

She adds, \u201cThings that came back to me that I didn\u2019t realize were gone were my ability to pay attention to my peripheral vision, my ability to focus on conversations in a crowded room and even music sounds much better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Good For The Brain<\/h3>\n

Nationally, Brain Awareness Week is scheduled for March 13-19, which is focused on enthusiasm and support for brain science. With that in mind, Brain Health Hawai\u2018i\u2019s Dr. Jason Keifer has some suggestions about keeping one\u2019s mind in tip-top condition.<\/p>\n

Among them, he advises optimizing your sleep window, getting direct sunlight in the morning, avoiding eating and drinking late, daily exercise and healthy relationships.<\/p>\n

\u201cDoing your best to check these boxes as much as possible on a daily basis can help you maintain and even improve your brain functioning,\u201d says the company CEO, founder and medical director.<\/p>\n

Also important is highlighting the nuances of the noggin.<\/p>\n

\u201cBrain health is mental health. Brain health is physical health. Brain health is health,\u201d he declares.\u201cThe brain is the most important organ in your body, it controls and regulates every system in your body.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finally, he points out that thinking, feeling, reacting, remembering, focusing, running and throwing are all examples of things that rely on electrical signals inside the brain.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the brain signals are strong and organized, people feel better and perform better,\u201d Keifer concludes.<\/p>\n
