My practice is improving the underlying brain chemistry associated with most mood and behavior disorders. As a holistic family practice physician, I provide consultation by phone, lab testing through Lab Corp and treatment plan utilizing vitamins and minerals. I follow the Walsh Protocol to brain chemistry assessment and plan. Conditions that are particularly responsive to this approach include the 5 biotypes of depression, alcoholism, anxiety, anger, PTSD, schizophrenia, autism, bipolar manic depression, insomnia, dementia, ADHD. Quite often, with mood and behavior disorders there is an underlying imbalance related oxidative stress, over or undermethylation (epigenetics), copper elevation, zinc and/or pyrroluria. To understand more about orthomolecular psychiatry I recommend googling Abram Hoffer MD, Carl Pheiffer MD and William Walsh PhD. Through analysis of over 50,000 patient labs profiles, their collective research has established a clear nutritional strategy for correcting ones brain chemistry and neurotransmitter imbalances. Patients are prescribed nutritional supplements. Clients receive a urine test and Lab Corp requisition form. There is no need for an physical office visit; all cases are managed through phone consultation, email and Skype. I serve clients locally and nationally. The labs tested include zinc, copper, vitamin D, ceruloplasmin, homocysteine, histamine and urinary pyrroles.
