At EASTSIDE FAMILY HEALTH CENTER in Kirkland, WA, we see stress as more than a feeling—it’s a brain and body state that can disrupt sleep, hormones, and long-term health. Dr. Frank Marinkovich, M.D., and Dr. Frederick S. Starr, M.D., integrate Neurofeedback with Internal, Functional, and Neuropsychiatric Medicine to help patients optimize brainwaves, regulate stress responses, and restore mental clarity without relying solely on medications.
Chronic Activation: Stress keeps the brain locked in high-alert “fight or flight” mode.
Brainwave Imbalances: Excess beta activity fuels anxiety, while suppressed alpha waves reduce calm and focus.
Physical Impact: Triggers headaches, insomnia, poor concentration, and weakened immune response.
Why it matters: Without intervention, stress reshapes the brain and body, making it harder to recover.
Real-time monitoring helps retrain the brain toward balanced activity.
