Maya Thomas, MD

I have always been passionate about addressing the root cause of any symptoms.  My journey into Functional medicine began with acid reflux despite having what I thought was a healthy diet and I was always interested in nutrition and cooking.  After almost a decade of depending on prescription medications, I was able to reverse this condition in 3 weeks with simple changes in diet and supplements.  I learned how so many chronic illnesses are caused by an unbalanced gut, environmental toxins, and a breakdown of our internal systems.

I’m sure many of you are wondering - why are you talking about the gut when you’re a Neurologist? Well, that’s because our brain and our gut are intrinsically linked to one another.  A poorly balance gut microbiome creates an unbalanced brain, which manifests in problems like insomnia, restless leg syndrome, headaches, migraines, early Alzheimers, and so much more.  Poor sleep also alters gut microbiome.  Good quality sleep is vital for our survival and optimal health.  We can now prevent Alzheimer's dementia.  So I’m here to combine my 23+ years of experience in Neurology, Sleep, and Epilepsy with a more holistic approach to help you with your chronic issues. It requires in-depth laboratory testing, modifications in your diet, and supplements to get you the nutrients your brain needs. My passion is to help you identify and fix the root cause of your symptoms. This is transformative care and it is just beginning. Join me on this journey.
