The HyperCharge Health Difference: A Systems Approach to an Invisible Illness

Living with an invisible illness is a profound struggle. You endure crushing fatigue that isn't relieved by sleep, widespread pain that has no apparent cause, and a debilitating "brain fog" that steals your clarity. For years, you may have been passed from doctor to doctor, only to be told your labs are "normal" and that your symptoms are "just stress" or "all in your head." This experience of being dismissed and misunderstood is exhausting and invalidating. At HyperCharge Health in Edina, MN, we want you to know: we hear you, we believe you, and your symptoms are real. They are the result of a complex, systemic illness, and we have developed one of the most comprehensive, integrative protocols in Minnesota to address the root causes and help you reclaim your life.

Our "Systems, not symptoms" philosophy is the key to unraveling the complexity of ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia. We recognize these conditions are not a diagnosis of exclusion but a specific state of systemic dysfunction driven by three core factors: mitochondrial damage [1], chronic inflammation, and central nervous system sensitization [2]. Our protocols are designed to work in partnership with your primary care provider and rheumatologist, providing advanced, evidence-based therapies that go beyond masking symptoms with painkillers or antidepressants.

You Deserve Better.
HyperCharge is Hope.

Our Comprehensive Toolkit for ME/CFS & Fibromyalgia

Explore the cutting-edge, evidence-based therapies that form the pillars of our unique recovery programs.

  • Beyond Standard Labs

    • What It Is: An advanced laboratory analysis designed to investigate the metabolic, inflammatory, and hormonal chaos that standard bloodwork often misses.

    • How It Helps: This allows us to identify and target the specific drivers of your illness, including mitochondrial dysfunction, systemic inflammation (hs-CRP), gut health imbalances, and underlying hormonal dysregulation (thyroid, adrenal, sex hormones).

  • Pillar 1: Photobiomodulation (PBM): The Anti-Inflammatory & Energy Boost

    • How It Helps: This is a cornerstone therapy. Red and near-infrared light are absorbed by your mitochondria, directly boosting ATP (energy) production to combat fatigue and powerfully reducing the systemic inflammation that drives pain.

    • Green Light Therapy for Central Sensitization: Our protocols specifically include Green Light Therapy. Pioneering research from the University of Arizona has shown that daily exposure to a specific, narrow band of green light can have profound pain-relieving effects. A landmark clinical trial published in the journal Pain Medicine on patients with fibromyalgia found that green light therapy resulted in a significant reduction in pain intensity and an improved quality of life [3]. This therapy is believed to work by directly calming the over-sensitized neurons in the brain that are the hallmark of these conditions.

    Pillar 2: Advanced Oxygen Therapy (EWOT)

    • How It Helps: A key feature of ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia is profound cellular hypoxia (a lack of oxygen). EWOT super-saturates your tissues with oxygen, which helps recharge your mitochondria, creates a powerful anti-inflammatory effect, and can provide an immediate boost in energy and mental clarity.

    Pillar 3 & 4: PEMF & NanoVi

    • How They Help: Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy helps "recharge" your cells, improving circulation and reducing the inflammation that contributes to widespread pain. NanoVi Therapy is critical for helping your cells repair the massive protein damage caused by the extreme oxidative stress present in these conditions.

    Pillar 5: World-Class Acupuncture

    • How It Helps: Led by Nikki Vanicek, acupuncturist for the Minnesota Twins, this therapy is proven to be effective for chronic pain and fatigue by stimulating the body's natural pain-relieving chemicals and calming the nervous system [4].

  • Transcranial Therapies (tPBM & TMS)

    • What It Is: A suite of non-invasive technologies designed to directly and safely retrain the brain.

    • How It Helps: Fibromyalgia is now understood as a disease of central sensitization, where the brain's pain-processing centers are stuck in a hyper-excitable "on" state [2]. Our therapies directly target this:

      • Transcranial Photobiomodulation (tPBM): By applying therapeutic light to the scalp, we can reduce neuroinflammation and improve mitochondrial function in brain cells, calming the overactive pain circuits and improving mood and cognitive function [5].

      • Exomind Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS): This FDA-cleared therapy uses magnetic pulses to gently re-regulate and retrain the brain's pain-processing centers. It is a powerful tool for breaking the cycle of central sensitization and is also highly effective for the co-occurring depression and anxiety that accompany these conditions [6].

  • The Neuro20 Suit: Breaking the Deconditioning Cycle

    • What It Is: A revolutionary suit that uses electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to provide a full-body workout with minimal physical strain.

    • How It Helps: Post-exertional malaise (PEM) is a hallmark of ME/CFS, making traditional exercise impossible. The Neuro20 suit is the solution. It allows us to stimulate muscles and build strength without triggering a crash, breaking the cycle of deconditioning. This activation also boosts Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), which is critical for improving "brain fog" [7].

    Integrative Medical Support

    • What It Is: Medically supervised protocols using targeted peptides and other interventions.

    • How It Helps: We may use peptide stacks to accelerate healing. BPC-157 can help address widespread pain and gut issues, Selank can calm the nervous system, and mitochondrial peptides like SS-31 can provide direct support to your cellular engines.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Our approach is designed to be synergistic, not competitive. While your rheumatologist provides essential care, often with medications to manage symptoms like pain and sleep, our focus is on addressing the underlying systemic dysfunction. We use advanced technologies to target mitochondrial health, neuroinflammation, and central sensitization, which are the root causes that medications often don't address.

  • This is a common feeling for our patients, and it's completely understandable. The reason our program is different is its multi-modal, synergistic approach. You may have tried one or two of these therapies in isolation, but the magic is in the combination. By simultaneously reducing inflammation, boosting cellular energy, calming the brain, and supporting the body, we create a powerful healing momentum that single therapies often cannot achieve.

  • Central sensitization is a key mechanism in fibromyalgia. It means that your central nervous system (your brain and spinal cord) has become stuck in a state of high alert. It amplifies pain signals, causing things that shouldn't be painful to hurt, and making painful stimuli feel much worse. It's why you hurt all over. Therapies like TMS and Green Light are designed to directly "re-calibrate" this sensitized system [2].

  • HyperCharge Health is a private-pay clinic, which allows us to provide these advanced, integrative services. While we do not accept insurance directly, we offer several payment options to make care accessible. We accept HSA and FSA cards, work with Workers' Comp cases, and partner with Care Credit. We also offer flexible in-house financing with excellent terms. Our team can discuss these options with you during your consultation.
