A Different Perspective on Brain Health

From anxiety to depression or anywhere in between, mood disorders are at an all-time high. They can be debilitating and downright dangerous if left alone but the best answer medically is often medication. While there may be a time and a place for medication, this should be done in coordination with understanding the change in physiology that lead to the mood disorder. Things like gut health, neurotransmitters, nutrition and proper nervous system function all play a vital role to identifying and addressing the most common causes.
