The Biological Driver of Low Mood

Depression is far more than a "chemical imbalance." It is a complex condition rooted in chronic inflammation, hormonal disruption, and nutrient deficiencies.

40%

Inflammation Link

Up to 40% of patients with depression have elevated markers of inflammation in the brain and body.

90%

Gut-Brain Axis

Over 90% of serotonin is made in the gut, meaning gut health is crucial for a stable, positive mood.

70%

Symptom Improvement

Addressing root causes like inflammation can lead to over a 70% improvement in depressive symptoms.

How Imbalances Fuel Depression:

Neuroinflammation

Chronic inflammation damages brain cells and disrupts the production of mood-regulating chemicals.

Hormonal Disruption

Imbalances in cortisol, thyroid, and sex hormones have a powerful, direct impact on mood.

Gut Dysbiosis

An unhealthy gut fails to produce adequate serotonin and sends inflammatory signals to the brain.

Nutrient Deficiencies

Lack of key nutrients like Omega-3s, Vitamin D, and B12 impairs brain function and mood.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can depression be treated without antidepressants?

For many individuals, yes. Depression is often a symptom of deeper physiological imbalances like inflammation or hormonal issues. By identifying and correcting these root causes, many of our patients are able to find lasting relief and reduce or eliminate their need for medication.

How long does it take to see an improvement in my mood?

Everyone's journey is unique, but patients often report subtle shifts in energy and mental clarity within the first few weeks. More profound and stable improvements in mood typically occur within 2-3 months as the body's systems rebalance.

Is it safe to reduce or stop my antidepressant medication?

It can be, but only when done under professional guidance. We work closely with you and your prescribing physician to create a safe, gradual tapering plan as your underlying health improves and your brain's natural mood regulation is restored.

How is this approach different from just going to therapy?

Therapy is an essential tool for mental health. Our program is a biological approach that complements therapy perfectly. While therapy helps you process thoughts and build coping skills, we focus on healing the underlying physiological issues that make your brain vulnerable to depression.
