Medication Management

Integrative psychiatry focuses on finding the ideal balance for your mental health rather than dismissing any treatment options. I'm here to help you identify a medication plan that effectively manages your symptoms with minimal side effects. Furthermore, I can support you in holistic approaches to improve your overall wellness and potentially decrease your reliance on medication. Together, we can develop a strategy that fosters your path to feeling better.

Nutraceuticals

Prescription medications aren't the sole substances that influence brain pathways related to mood and energy regulation. I can collaborate with you to incorporate nutritional supplements and plant-based remedies to enhance your well-being. I can also assist in optimizing your current supplement regimen to ensure you're using the appropriate supplements with the right formulations and dosages to meet your needs. I can help to ensure there are no harmful interactions between your medications, supplements, and diet.

Genetic Testing

Genetic testing allows us to explore your predisposition to certain illnesses, anticipate how you may respond to specific medications, and tailor your medication regimen for optimal results. This personalized approach can help ensure that your treatment is as effective as possible.

Advanced Hormonal Testing

There are other important hormonal markers that influence our mental health beyond thyroid and sex hormones. With salivary cortisol testing I can evaluate adrenal fatigue and cortisol imbalance that may be contributing to mental and physical stress.

Functional Nutritional Testing

Uncover the shortcomings of traditional lab testing, where "normal" nutrient levels might not accurately represent your functional requirements. Utilizing cutting-edge lab testing technology, I can evaluate your nutrient levels, organic acids, essential and metabolic fatty acids, amino acids, oxidative stress and toxins. This thorough analysis allows us to customize your plan for optimal well-being. Together, we can ensure all your nutritional needs are adequately addressed.

Comprehensive Gut Analysis

Evidence has shown that there is a significant link between the gut and our brain, owing to it's impact on our mental health. I offer advanced gastrointestinal stool testing and anaylsis to evaluate your digestion, inflammation, unbalanced gut microbiome, metabolite imbalance, and infection that may be contributing to your mental health symptoms.

Comprehensive lab work

As a hallmark of my assessment of all patients, I offer comprehensive baseline blood lab work to assess your overall well being and status.

Mind Body Treatment Approaches

Managing stress is a critical component to improving your mental health. I can help you explore mind-body approaches that suit you best including breath work, grounding, meditation, and yoga.

Lifestyle Coaching

Indeed, even the most effective medication won’t yield results if your sleep, nutrition, and overall lifestyle aren’t supporting your mental health. While changing habits can be tough, I’m here to help you take small, achievable steps that can result in meaningful changes. Together, we can develop a personalized plan that enhances your mental wellness journey. Let’s embark on these small steps toward a brighter and healthier future!

What is Integrative Psychiatry?

Conventional psychiatry treats based on presenting symptoms instead of testing. Unfortunately, up to 50% of patients will fail initial treatment and go through a trial-and-error phase before they find a regimen that is helpful. Psychotherapeutics can take up to 6 weeks to be fully effective. This combined with unmanaged or intolerable side effects can lead to many patients discontinuing treatment and not having their needs met.

Integrative psychiatry utilizes a holistic approach to uncover the root causes of mental illness. It combines medication treatment with cutting edge advanced testing and treatments to curate an individualized plan that targets symptoms at the cellular level.

My program is designed to improve your mental symptoms and emotional stability by

Revealing hidden traumas, injuries, familial history, interpersonal issues, or other circumstances (via a thorough intake interview) that has contributed to symptoms.

Discovering genetic dispositions that contribute to mental instability through advanced testing.

Assessing and treating dysfunction in other body systems that contribute to mental illness such as adrenal insufficiency, micronutrient deficiencies, gut dysbiosis, thyroid & sex hormone dysfunction.

Lifestyle coaching to address stress, sleep, nutrition, and exercise.

Using the latest in alternative and natural treatments to optimize your mental wellness.

Providing therapy to address negative thought processes, increase self-awareness and purpose, stress resilience, and coping skills.
Thoughtfully minimizing reliance on medication over time and minimizing side effects.

My goal is to help heal you from the inside out and give you the tools to live a meaningful and stable life.

What is Integrative Weight Loss and Metabolic Health?

Traditional weight loss programs focus on short term quick fixes with medication. The goal is to lose a ton of weight fast and that’s it. All too often patients don't receive the education they need to lose weight to sustain results and maintain good health. Patients are losing muscle mass and becoming malnourished in the pursuit of weight loss which further impairs metabolism and increases risk of injury, frailty, and chronic disease. People often regain their weight after stopping weight loss medications, which is reminiscent of yo-yo dieting and does no good for long term cardiovascular or metabolic health.

Integrative weight loss utilizes advanced testing to identify the causes behind weight loss difficulties. Medications along with natural therapies and lifestyle improvements are used to promote long term weight maintenance and optimize metabolism.

My program is not a cookie cutter quick fix, but one that produces long term results not just aimed at weight loss, but longevity and optimal metabolic functioning, thereby reducing your risk for chronic disease and potentially reversing them.

My goal is to make sure you have an efficient metabolism so you can maintain your weight loss and health without long term medication, have energy, mental clarity, and confidence.

My program is designed to jumpstart your weight loss by

Identifying and treating any obstacles to weight loss such as genetics, inflammation, thyroid disease, metabolic dysfunction, gut dysfunction, insulin resistance, perimenopause/menopause via advanced testing.

Addressing your weight loss issues at the cellular level utilizing medications and evidence based nutraceuticals (herbs, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants) that will target your unique issues.

Lifestyle coaching to address stress, sleep, nutrition, and exercise.
Providing accountability and monitoring progress. Let me be your cheerleader!

Weight loss should not have a one size fits all approach. I ensure the whole person is addressed and unique body needs are considered in making a tailor-made plan.

What is Fitness Coaching?

Online fitness coaching is a comprehensive individualized program that includes a training plan, supplement plan, and nutrition plan. This style of coaching is focused on achieving specific aesthetic or weight goals. This can include gaining muscle and/or losing fat mass. This coaching method requires clients to be self-motivated and accountable to themselves to execute the plan created for them. Clients often check in with their coach every 2 weeks to assess progress and makes changes to the plan as the client progresses. A good candidate for this style of coaching is someone who has general knowledge of nutrition and fitness.

This differs from personal training, which only includes one on one in-person training at a gym. Fitness coaches typically do not provide in-person training. Personal trainer's can give guidance on nutrition and supplements, but do not offer customized all inclusive plans. Personal training is good for beginners or someone who needs instruction on proper form, more accountability, and exercise guidance.

My fitness coaching is tailored to the individual who wants to transform their body, has access to a gym, and is willing to strength train a minimum of 3x a week. They have some experience with nutrition and fitness and are ready to take it to the next level.

My program is designed to achieve results by

Offering customized plans tailored to your body’s starting point and goals.

An app that provides access to your plans to allow for tracking and communication with me.

Biweekly or monthly check ins via app to review progress and make changes if needed.

My goal is to help you see what you are capable of!
