Anxiety
ANXIETY
“Out of nowhere I am feeling anxious. My heart is racing. I am sweating. I am panicking”. Anxiety symptoms unrelated to life worries, e.g., a difficult test, a bad date, a problematic boss, and/or life trauma, are more likely to be related to the brain searching for nutrients, a sluggish thyroid, and/or unresolved gut infections.
I realize it may sound too easy but feeling anxious and/or depressed is often the brain’s way of communicating that it is not being nourished properly and/or the body is full of toxins, metals, and/or chemicals that are not being cleared out properly. The body’s job is to communicate with us, and it is our job to interpret. Therapists and Psychiatrists are trained to look for a life trauma that warrants the mind’s behavior. When anxiety hits you “out of the blue” that is the body asking for help - not the mind. A couple of simple Functional lab tests may be the missing link to helping you make the right healing steps to regain your body’s calm so your brain can relax.
EMOTIONAL FRAGILITY. PMS, PMDD
You have a wonderful social life and support system but find yourself crying randomly in class or at work… This is a common feeling for particularly women who are cycling and/or in perimenopause. You are not alone.
Often emotional fragility is a symptom of too much estrogen being trapped and recirculating back into the body instead of flowing out of the body properly. Why would this happen?
Possibly a slow COMT gene that needs more nutritional support, a thyroid that is out of balance, the body is over burdened with sugar and/or missing essential nutrients to stabilize emotions… For some, it can be all of these roadblocks happening at the same time, and all of them require nutritional rebalancing.
Our goal is to help you identify your own personal obstacles underneath your emotional fragility using intelligent Functional Diagnostic labs. From there, we customize holistic protocols to help you regain your emotional strength.

Depression
DEPRESSION
There is nothing funny about depression.
Depression that doesn’t come from an emotional loss or traumatic experience can often be the mind’s way of telling you it is not being fed properly. 90% of serotonin* is made in the gut but so are many other vitamins and hormones so, investigating the health of your gut to explore if your body is absorbing nutrients is often a critical first step towards repairing mental wellness.
