Meet Dr. Angela
Dr. Angela Karvounis, D.C. has been treating children with special needs since 2012. She learned about the Autism Biomedical Approach treatments for children on the spectrum from the Autism Research Institute under the Defeat Autism NOW! (DAN!) protocol in 2006 at her first conference. In 2019, the DAN! protocol switched to Medical Academy of Pediatric Special Needs (MedMaps.org). She practiced under the business name Developmental Crossroads for over 8 years but changed her business name to Second Brain Immunity to focus her practice on treating the core issues to many children, the brain and body connection, primarily the gut. Her focus is on the core cause of many symptoms children are experiencing and her protocols only use natural supplements, without the use of medication. Her focus is children 6 years of age and under but can treat children up to 16 years old.
Happy Gut,
Happy Brain
Did you know your gut has a direct affect on your brain? 80% of serotonin, your "happy" neurotransmitter is made from the tiny bacteria living in your gut, your Microbiome.
Our Services
1
History Intake
The History Intake Consultations focuses on understanding your child's individual history and your key concerns. The paperwork is done through our easy-to use patient portal to assist us in developing a customized treatment plan, which may include labs testing, supplements, and adjustments to diet or home environment.
​**Service Plans starts once testing is complete (1-3 weeks).
​
2
Monthly Consulting
The monthly plan is for parents aiming to make a positive difference in their child's life without the guess work. This plan is essential because it tailors to your child's protocol. Rather than bombarding you with supplements, we introduce them one at a time, focusing on the root of symptoms. Through regular monitoring via texts, calls, and visits, we can track changes and make necessary adjustments for the best results.
3
Flexible Consultation
This plan is specifically intended for parents who are looking for guidance on particular protocols or symptoms but without the full monitoring the monthly plan provides. This plan is intended for parents that have been on the Monthly Plan and are phasing into the Flexible Plan or for parents that are familiar with the MedMaps Biomedical Treatment Approach and need some guidance.
Second
Brain
At Second Brain Immunity, we specialize in the gut-brain connection for overall health. When the microbes in the gut are imbalanced, many children with special needs can experience changes in mood, focus, cognition and overall health. It is essential to have a healthy microbiome (the whole gut microbe community), for many children in order to see real change in symptoms.
