Welcome to My Brain Mechanic
Expertise
Scott Bukow brings 30 years in Functional Medicine and 9 in Functional Neurology. He was the former head educator for Metagenics/ The Institute of Functional Medicine globally for 17 years. As an educator to physicians/ practitioners worldwide, a CFMP practitioner, and a recovered severe TBI patient, he brings an approach and science that few have. He recently received Best Doctors in California as the first Functional Medicine Practitioner to be acknowledged. Although I can't treat, cure, or diagnose a condition like TBI, ADHD, or Covid Long Haulers, I can make your brain and gut/brain axis as healthy as possible.

"Conventional TBI treatment has suboptimal success rates" and "Only nutritional therapy has shown promise" Med. Acupunt 2017 - This is Neurologic Nutrition (Functional Medicine) to rebuild the 5 key areas to restore a brain.
Why Does Conventional Treatment Have Suboptimal Success?
- Most neurologists have drugs that are necessary in certain cases like seizures, but they have nothing at their disposal to rebuild the brain. They are only treating symptoms.
- Physical, Occupational & Speech therapy are to create neuroplasticity. Imagine your brain as a computer and the wires are fried on the inside. Until they are fixed new software (neuroplasticity) is a challenge.
Finally, the most important discovery now in multiple clinical trials is that a TBI becomes an autoimmune condition that has its criteria for recovery. The brain needs to be rebuilt and the autoimmune responses must also be addressed for success.
About Me
Why This is Unlike Anything Else
Why This is Unlike Anything Else
For 30 years I have educated physicians in over 23 countries. For 17 years I was the lead educator for the company that created The Institute of Functional Medicine outside the U.S. In 2014 I fractured my skull in 3 places, and no neurologist helped me until I went back to Functional Medicine. I made a full recovery and have spent 7 year
For 30 years I have educated physicians in over 23 countries. For 17 years I was the lead educator for the company that created The Institute of Functional Medicine outside the U.S. In 2014 I fractured my skull in 3 places, and no neurologist helped me until I went back to Functional Medicine. I made a full recovery and have spent 7 years refining what brought me back. It also got one man out of a wheelchair. Over the past years, I have been either educating practitioners & physicians in Functional Neurology or managing sales forces for Functional Medicine companies. I also obtained my life/health coach certification from The Institute of Integrative Nutrition to add the psychological component to my practice. In 2024 I opened My Brain Mechanic after seeing a huge need for someone who can bring the right therapy psychologically and physically.

Treatment
During a 1 on 1 consultation, I explain the science in detail. A patient is put on several compounds that have significant studies in the following 3 areas. This is what separates my practice from others.
- Reduce oxidative stress, excitotoxicity, and neuroinflammation.
- Supporting mitochondrial functions & repair of membranes synapses and axo
During a 1 on 1 consultation, I explain the science in detail. A patient is put on several compounds that have significant studies in the following 3 areas. This is what separates my practice from others.
- Reduce oxidative stress, excitotoxicity, and neuroinflammation.
- Supporting mitochondrial functions & repair of membranes synapses and axons.
- The modulation and sealing of the body's immune system and the brain's immune system from attacking critical areas of the brain.
Neuroplasticity is created through 6 learning modules and each patient is also put on an individualized personal growth plan. If significant improvement is not made within 90 days I work with patients for an additional 90 days at no charge.
Advanced Neurology Services in My Brain Mechanic
Precision Diagnostics
This scientific method treats the whole brain and gastrointestinal system, so it is not necessary to pinpoint certain areas. Your symptoms alone can tell if it is the frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal, cerebellum, or brain stem that needs nutritional support. The precision is knowing that no matter what the patient is experiencing, it is the dietary and nutritional support that helps make the brain and the gut/brain axis as healthy as possible.
Innovative Treatments
We offer the most innovative treatment for Traumatic Brain Injuries that includes a 5 step process, neuroplasticity, and life/health coaching. Our goal is to provide the best possible outcomes for our patients.
Multidisciplinary Approach
We take a multidisciplinary approach to patient care, based on a decade of research.
Personalized Care
I provide personalized care to all of our patients, taking the time to understand their individual needs and concerns. I will work with you to develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs.
Cutting-Edge Research
I am committed to advancing the field of neurology through cutting-edge research. I am constantly involved in a range of research studies aimed at improving treatments and outcomes for patients.
Compassion
In my 30 years of Functional Medicine, I primarily educated physicians and practitioners. I was always frustrated by a lack of compassion for patients. I understand that dealing with a neurological condition can be challenging and I am also a fully recovered TBI survivor so can connect with you on a level of understanding of what you are going through as I have lived it. This is why I am so passionate because I never want people to go through the suffering I endured from lack of treatment, understanding and the root cause of why I was not healing.
Reviews From Patients
Leslie H
OK! First, it has been a joy to work with you. As I have mentioned before I believe God had everything to do with our paths crossing and it's been a pure pleasure for me. Secondly, the worst of my symptoms that I have dealt with for the past 10 years is mostly gone. The feeling in my head of being disconnected and swimmy has improved by at least 80% and that is a miracle I have been relentlessly searching for. I have more energy and can function with a little less sleep some days. I can work longer hours before noticing symptoms and without feeling completely out of it and woozy.
Tasha L
The 2 major symptoms I have battled with since my accident have been my memory and speech. Both have vastly improved. People can now understand me when I am talking. Scott, you have changed my life.
Bob H
I really did not believe you could do anything and after 2 months I was extremely frustrated. Then everything started to change and my memory, my balance, and that brain fog went away. Not 100% but the most improvement I have had without question and I have been to multiple neurologists and therapists. I am at 4 months and still improving.
