From anxiety to depression, lack of motivation to trouble concentrating, chronic fatigue to disordered eating and OCD- it’s not all in your head. Your thoughts, feelings, overall mood and behavior are affected by body-based imbalances.
In my practice, I view mental health through a holistic lens, recognizing the connection between mind and body and the importance of uncovering and addressing the root cause through our initial intake and, what we call, a comprehensive BioScreen.
Through our comprehensive BioScreen, we are able to gain insight into the imbalances that can masquerade as psychiatric symptoms.
Our comprehensive BioScreen casts a wide net, but when looking into mental health, I pay special attention to: adrenal (cortisol), thyroid, sex hormone, blood sugar (HbA1C, insulin, fasting glucose), micronutrient (vitamin B12, D), inflammation (Hs-CRP, homocysteine), immune and infectious markers.
I am also interested in food sensitivities (intolerances and allergies), gut health (stool test), cellular processes (urinary organic acids) and certain genetic variants, like MTHFR, that can influence how your body processes neurotransmitters, detoxifies and responds to stress.
By identifying these imbalances, we can tailor interventions to support your mental health and vitality from every angle.
