Orthomolecular medicine takes a holistic approach to mental health by addressing biochemical factors from the inside out. Proper nutrition is vital since the brain uses so many resources.

At our Institute, we create individualized supplement plans based on lab tests. Our goal is to restore balance by providing important nutrients the body needs.

Patients  follow a mainly whole, organic diet while avoiding processed foods and other potential triggers. Other natural treatments like sauna therapy and exercise support overall wellness. It’s about empowering clients with lifelong tools rather than just managing symptoms.

We educate patients on how nutrition affects brain chemistry and mental health. Some classes cover topics like nutrients, toxins, traumatic stress management and family dynamics. Our programs help clients understand how to maintain balance on their own.

As practitioners, we recognize issues like addiction and mental health conditions may require short-term medical support in crisis situations. However, research shows lasting mental well-being relies on addressing root biochemical imbalances rather than long-term medication use.

According to orthomolecular psychiatry, the brain functions best with proper nutrition and when free from potentially harmful chemicals. When the body’s “biochemical factory” lacks important materials or receives impure inputs, dysfunction can result. Compounding issues may occur if individuals can’t fully perceive reality due to nutritional or toxicity stresses on the brain. But in many cases, disturbances will cease when the brain’s biochemical environment is optimized.
