The MIND Method: Re-wiring the Brain to Overcome ADHD, Dyslexia, Autism, Anxiety, Seizures, TBI, and Other Neuro-Behavioral Disorders
Dr. Russ Schroder graduated with Honors, receiving Bachelors of Science and Doctor of Chiropractic degrees from Palmer College in 1999.  In 2011, he completed a 3-year post-doctoral neurology program through the Carrick Institute for Graduate Studies, successfully passing the 4-day examinations leading to the certification of Diplomate of the American Chiropractic Neurology Board and Fellow in the American College of Functional Neurology. He is a national lecturer and Charter Member of the International Association of Functional Neurology and Rehabilitation who  has expanded the D-C Chiropractic Neurology Center to assist in the non-drug care of patients with chronic pain disorders (such as Peripheral Neuropathy,  Degenerative Disc Disease and Fibromyalgia) and metabolic disorders (ranging from thyroid problems to Diabetes). At the M.I.N.D. Institute for Neurological Development, he works with children and adults suffering from Neuro-developmental disorders (such as ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Learning disorders and Traumatic Brain Injuries). He was certified as a Diplomat in Pastoral Science in 2012 and a Doctor of Pastoral Medicine in 2013 by the Pastoral Medical Association. Heather Bennett spent much of her life traveling to doctors and hospitals for documented conditions, some starting at birth. Her medical records consist of numerous doctors’ files, each over an inch thick: from her very first stay in the hospital with jaundice as a premature baby, through being diagnosed with “SJS”/ Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (a “one in a million” adverse reaction to her seizure medication that caused much of her hair and skin to fall off), to a diagnosed “heart condition” (involving the nerves to the heart mis-firing) called P.O.T.S. in which the cardiologist was recommending a pace-maker (at age 35!). Throughout all of this, she developed IBS, eczema and clinical depression. This all changed after a chance encounter with Dr. Russ Schroder, who utilized basic neurological and nutritional principles to give her back her life!  She has an Associates degree in Early Childhood Development, spending a decade working with pre-schoolers and developmentally-delayed children. She spent 3 years in social work, helping at-risk infants and toddlers as well as adolescents with mental health issues. She has received extensive training in Neurofeedback and the Interactive Metronome and served as the Director of the M.I.N.D. Institute for Neurological Development since 2012.
