a guest in the studio right now, Doctor Amy Wagner
is with Root Function Wellness out of Watertown, South Dakota,
(00:21):
and we're going to talk today about something that they're
adding to the clinic there. They are the first and
only clinic in the state to offer exo mind, a
non evasive drug free FDA cleared treatment. Let's talk about this.
First of all, what is this and what does this
do for people?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Doctor so Xomind is a medical device FDA approved for
providing transcranial magnetic stimulation.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Okay, you're gonna have to break it down. What does
that even mean?
Speaker 2 (00:46):
So what that means is that we apply a magnet
over the part of your brain called the left prefrontal cortex. Okay,
that's the area that controls emotional regulation, self control, and
of thinking.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
I love that. So let's talk about some of the
things that I, as a person might be experiencing that
would lead me to utilizing this.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
It's really a tool for mental wellness. So FDA approved
for treating major depressive disorder, but it's also used for
treating anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, addiction, migraine headaches. Brain fog
has been used to treat PTSD and sometimes used to
(01:26):
treat patients with Parkinson's disease.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
That's awesome, And your clinic is the only place in
South Dakota that offers this currently.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yeah, And the other big use of this type of
therapy is for binge eating disorder. So the one hundred
percent of patients who receive the treatment find a month
out from when the procedure has been completed that their
appetite is more easily regulated.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Oh, very nice. And it's a non invasive, drug free,
FDA cleared treatment, So I think that's really cool that
this is. You know, there are a lot of things
that people say, well, this might work or that might work. Well,
the thing's nice about this. It's FDA cleared, it's drug free,
it's non invasive. So this is something that if you're
going to try something, why not try this.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Yeah, there's really no downside. Some people will experience a
minor headache. While the machine is doing its work, you
feel a little bit of a tapping on your head.
And there are older devices that also did TMS therapy,
but the older devices did cause pain and it required
forty sessions of treatment wow, which were usually scheduled five
(02:36):
days a week for seven weeks, so it's really been underutilized.
The xol mind Now they've been able to concentrate the
magnetic signal and the protocol for treatment is six sessions,
which are usually provided twice a week for three weeks.
And they've modified the way the magnet the magnet operates
(02:59):
so that it's no longer painful.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
And if somebody would like to do this, they would
come and see you in Watertown at Root Function Wellness.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Yes, that's correct. We're located just east of the High
Vey Pharmacy in Watertown, Nice and the schedule of providing
those six sessions can certainly be modified based on the
patient's preference. Each session takes about thirty minutes. There's no
sedation or downtime, so you can certainly drive yourself to
(03:27):
the clinic and drive yourself home again safely. Nice.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Now, this is just one of the many things you
do at Root Function Wellness. What are some of the
other things you guys provide at your clinic.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
So I am a functional medicine clinic, and that type
of medicine is often referred to as root cause medicine. Okay,
we look at the whole person as a system rather
than having multiple specialists involved in their care. So the
majority of my patients have been struggling with symptoms of
chronic illness for years, especially patients with chronic digestive symptoms,
(04:00):
autoimmune illness, chronic fatigue or chronic pain, hormone dysfunction, and infertility.
In addition to consults with myself, we also have a
National Board certified health and Wellness coach to help patients
carry through with their treatment plan. Nice we provide IV
(04:20):
nutrient therapy, injection nutrient therapy, specialty lab testing, DNA core testing,
and grow baby testing which is meant to improve fertility
and pregnancy outcomes.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
And now, of course we also provide the exo.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Mind and the Root Function Wellness Exomind launch party is
coming up on Wednesday, August six, next Wednesday. Already.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Yes, we're really excited to have people come and learn
more about our exo mind.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
And I see that's four pm to seven pm. So
even if you live in Zoux Falls and you're like, well,
I'd like to go check this out. When you get
off work, you can head up there. It's not that
far to get to Watertown. It's I can make it
in like twenty five minutes. Just kidding now, you can
you get on the interstate. It doesn't take long to
get there.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Yes, And we'll be doing demos at four thirty, five thirty,
and six thirty during our launch event, and we will
have some refreshments, a prize wheel, some prize drawings, and
some special pricing during our event.
