One-on-One Guidance with Dr. Nemechek
Treating the root cause of modern disease — the failing autonomic nervous system
Dr. Patrick Nemechek, D.O. is an expert in autonomic medicine who treats the underlying physiological processes that make people sick — not just the symptoms.
"The failure of our brains sets into motion the failure of our bodies."

A new approach to medicine
Understanding autonomic dysfunction is often the key to your medical mysteries
I am Dr. Patrick Nemechek, D.O. I focus on the autonomic nervous system because modern disease is autonomic dysfunction. I do not rely on pills or surgeries to mask symptoms — I treat the underlying physiological processes that are making people sick.
I am a classically trained internal medicine doctor and an expert in the autonomic nervous system — where your brain becomes unable to control your cells, organs, bodily functions, and inflammation. Everyone has an opportunity for improved health or disease reversal with improved or restored autonomic function.
Combining 30 years of internal medicine expertise with autonomic nervous system analysis, we can induce stem cell production and other reparative mechanisms within the nervous system and body to repair themselves.
The autonomic nervous system
Two branches — when either fails, the body suffers
The autonomics are the main communications network between the brain and the heart, organs, digestive tract, lungs, immune system, and hormonal regulation. There are two main branches:
Sympathetic ("fight or flight")
When disrupted: fatigue, salt or sugar cravings, anxiety, heart palpitations, tingling or numbness, disrupted night vision, varicose veins, erectile dysfunction, stiff neck and shoulders, headaches, insomnia.
Parasympathetic ("rest and digest")
When disrupted: heartburn, constipation, autoimmune disorders, chronic pain, sleep apnea, restless legs, morning nausea, night sweats, non-restorative sleep.
Understanding autonomic dysfunction
Causes, compounding factors, and the path to recovery
Causes
- Long COVID
- Head injury / concussions
- Inflammatory injury
- Chronic inflammation
- Emotional trauma
- Intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO)
- Pregnancy
Compounding factors
- Dysbiosis
- Poor diet
- Metabolic inflammation
- Medications
- Omega-3 deficiency
- Omega-6 excess
Recovery
- Symptoms lessen as brain repairs
- Gut bacteria rebalancing
- Core nutrients lower brain inflammation
- Stem cell production resumes
- Natural brain repair activates
- Long-term damage is reversible
Conditions treated
Autonomic dysfunction is present in most chronic diseases
Because the autonomics control our entire body, repairing them helps improve or reverse a wide array of symptoms, illnesses, and diseases — including conditions in children and adults alike.
Autism & developmental delay
Neurological recovery through autonomic repair and reduction of brain inflammation.
ADD / ADHD
Improved focus and emotional regulation as autonomic balance is restored.
PANS / PANDAS
Inflammatory-driven neurological disorders that respond to autonomic treatment.
Long COVID
Post-viral autonomic disruption affecting energy, cognition, and cardiovascular function.
Chronic fatigue & dizziness
Often rooted in autonomic dysfunction affecting energy regulation and blood flow.
Migraine headaches
Autonomic imbalance is a primary driver of chronic headache syndromes.
Heartburn / reflux
Parasympathetic disruption affects the digestive system, mimicking acid disorders.
Depression & anxiety
Emotional dysregulation tied to cellular damage in the autonomic system.
Dysautonomia / POTS
Direct autonomic nervous system disorders with wide-ranging systemic effects.
About Dr. Nemechek
My medical practice is based on groundbreaking, science-based medicine
I understand that the failure of our bodies begins as unrepaired injury or damage in our brains. Because I understand the way our cells, brains, and nervous system are supposed to function, I can work to restore the body to equilibrium — ending symptoms and maximizing health.
Stem cell regeneration, stimulating the body's natural defenses, and rebalancing the intestinal tract and nervous system can reverse many disease processes and put metabolic inflammation into remission.
As a classically trained internist, I am often able to quickly zero in on the cause of your symptoms through a simple question-and-answer session — a skill that is increasingly missing from modern medicine.
