NEWSLETTER September 2026
What’s the point of a long life if our brain doesn’t stay healthy?
Our brain is what makes us who we are. It allows us to think, store memories, make decisions, and navigate everyday life independently. That’s why mental health is one of the most important pillars of quality of life—alongside living a long and healthy life.
In the new Autumn Edition of our Chirolounge Quarterly, we explore this very topic and explain why the connection between the brain and the spine plays such an important role.
During our treatments, we often explain how essential the communication between the brain and the spine is for controlling our bodies. Through the nervous system, information is constantly being exchanged, influencing movement, balance, body awareness, and many other processes that contribute to our overall well-being.
In this newsletter, you can look forward to two fascinating articles:
->Why the brain doesn’t send warning signals – and why changes can often go unnoticed for a long time.
->Energy, nutrients, and the importance of stability – what our brain needs to perform at its best every day.
We hope you enjoy reading this edition and discover plenty of valuable insights along the way.
Warm regards,
Your Chirolounge Munich Team Robert, Craig, Tanja, Evelyn & Nicole (Marketing Angel)

Why the Brain Doesn’t Send Warning Signals
Our brain has no pain receptors. That’s why changes can develop over many years without us noticing them. Often, they only become apparent when memory, concentration, language, or coordination begin to decline. What seems to happen suddenly usually started much earlier.
That’s exactly why brain health is so important: changes can occur silently, making prevention one of the best ways to protect long-term brain function.
Every chiropractic adjustment contributes to supporting your brain’s communication with your body—and, as part of an overall healthy lifestyle, helps promote brain health and long-term well-being.
The Brain Is the Organ That Shapes Our Destiny
Within its remarkable complexity lie the foundations that help shape the future of humanity.
Energy, Nutrients, and the Importance of Stability
Although the brain makes up only about 2% of our body weight, it uses around a quarter of our body's resting energy. Unlike many other organs, it cannot store energy reserves and depends on a continuous supply of fuel. Its primary energy source is glucose.
During periods of fasting or while following a ketogenic diet, however, the brain can also use ketones very efficiently.
A healthy brain depends on:
-a steady supply of energy
-the ability to switch flexibly between different fuel sources
-minimizing inflammation-promoting metabolic byproducts
What the brain struggles with, on the other hand, are frequent blood sugar spikes, insulin resistance, and chronic inflammation. These don't just affect the heart and metabolism—they can also increase the risk of diseases that affect the brain over time.
