HERE'S WHAT MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW...
Maybe It's Not "All In Your Head"
Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) can often be linked to underlying biological factors ...
like inflammation, hormonal imbalances, or metabolic dysfunctions. While these issues may fly under the radar, they can majorly impact the effectiveness of traditional treatments. That's why we use Functional Medicine Psychiatry to dig deep to identify and address the root causes of depression... so you can finally find lasting relief from depression symptoms.
What Is "Metabolic Psychiatry"?
Metabolic psychiatry is a game-changer in the world of depression. It dives deep into the complex relationship between your body's cellular and metabolic processes and your brain's functioning. By exploring factors like insulin resistance, inflammation, and mitochondrial / cellular dysfunction, Metabolic Psychiatry uncovers hidden imbalances that can fuel depression. This cutting-edge approach is all about treating the whole person... not just the symptoms.
The Missing Piece: Lifestyle Medicine
Lifestyle medicine is the secret weapon in your fight against depression. Your daily habits are an often overlooked factor in recovery, but they are fundamental for your physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing.
Lifestyle Medicine takes your treatment to the next level. By focusing on powerful habits like nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management, we help you build a solid foundation for lasting mental health.
