Immunoception is a relatively new concept that falls under the broader heading of Interoception, which is the Brain's understanding of the peripheral body. Immunoception refers to the bidirectional crosstalk between the brain and the immunity, with specific focus on how the brain imprints, or remembers, patterns of immune activation. This has tremendous clinical relevance in complex Functional Medicine cases where pattern of chronic stress chemistry and inflammation do not respond well to typical Func Med applications.

My special guest is Dr. Peter Scire, who is the owner and Clinical Director of Scire Integrative Health Center/Scire Functional Neurology center, and Co-Owner of Brain Balance Centers of Atlanta.

As a child, Dr. Scire was diagnosed with a learning disability and Dyslexia but went from a struggling student to graduating at the top of his high school class and an award-winning collegiate scholar with the help of Chiropractic and nutritional therapies. Overcoming his personal struggles made him realize that helping people was his calling, and so made this his vocation.

While in graduate school he took a special interest in Functional Neurology, which led him to study under Dr. Robert Melillo who developed protocols for children suffering from ADHD, Dyslexia, Learning Disorders, Tourette’s, and Autism Spectrum Disorders. This collaboration led to Dr. Scire establishing the first three Brain Balance Centers in 2007-2008.

Since 2010, Dr. Scire has been a co-instructor with Dr. Melillo in his Functional Developmental Behavioral Neuroimmunology courses, where he covers in-depth neuroimmunology concepts as it relates to the development of the brain, and how to address immunological dysfunctions in complex cases.

Dr. Scire has completed post-graduate studies in the areas of Traumatic Brain Injury/Concussion Rehabilitation, Vestibular Rehabilitation, Neuroimmunology, Low Level Laser Therapy, Functional Endocrinology, and Functional Immunology via Cogence. He has completed the Clinical Mastership Program through the Kharrazian Institute.

His private/telehealth practice is in Newnan, Georgia where he attends to patients of all ages with complex medical histories. His goal is to provide a personalized integrative clinical approach that incorporates the latest evidence-based methodologies.
