What is depression​?
Depression is a medical condition that affects how you feel, think, and handle daily activities. It's more than just feeling sad or going through a rough patch; it's a serious condition where the feelings of sadness, loss, or anger interfere with everyday life for an extended period.
It's important to discuss how your quality of life has been affected with an empathetic healthcare provider who can provide a diagnosis and discuss treatment options.
OCD, Sleep, & Mood
OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder​)
Obsessive compulsive disorder is a condition where people experience unwanted and repeated thoughts, feelings, or urges and engage in obsessive behaviors in response. These compulsions are attempts to ease the stress and anxiety caused by the obsessions, but often end up controlling the person's life.
​
Obsessive-compulsive disorder affects 2.5 million adults or 1.2% of the U.S. population (National Institute of Mental Health, 2023). Risk factors include genetics, childhood trauma, and biological factors playing a role in this development.
Sleep Impairment (Insomnia)
Sleep disorders are conditions that disrupt the quality, timing, and amount of sleep necessary for daily well-being and functioning. People with sleep disorders might find it hard to fall asleep, stay asleep, or may wake up too early and not be able to fall back asleep, leading to stress and impairment. These disorders can be caused by other medical or mental health conditions, significantly affecting a person's mood, energy levels, and overall health.​
​
Insomnia is the most common sleep disorder in the United States affecting about one-third of the general population (National Institutes of Health, 2023)
​​Mild Mood Disorders​
​Mood disorders are a group of mental health conditions that primarily affect a person's emotional state. These disorders can cause significant mood swings that impact daily functioning and can range from extreme happiness or energy to deep sadness or hopelessness.
​Disruptive emotions and mood disturbance symptoms are commonly seen in adolescent years. Oftentimes, this behavior progresses into adulthood which may impact personal relationships and quality of life (National Institute of Mental Health, 2023).

Optimize Your Heart
We offer cardiovascular treatment for these conditions:​
Blood pressure control with medication
The causes of high blood pressure include a diet high in salt, lack of exercise, excessive alcohol consumption, and stress. Additionally, conditions like obesity, diabetes, and kidney disease can also lead to high blood pressure.
We can tailor a treatment plan to meet the unique needs of each individual, considering important factors like race, sex, and age to ensure the best care.
A customized medication treatment plan can help patients manage their blood pressure and effectively reduce the risks of developing heart disease.
Reduce high cholesterol with medication
This can be due to lifestyle factors like eating foods high in saturated fats, not getting enough exercise, smoking, and drinking excessively. Additionally, some people may have a genetic predisposition that makes them more likely to have high cholesterol. It's important to monitor your cholesterol levels with routine blood tests.
We understand factors like race, sex, and age are important in choosing the right medication for our clients. We use the latest guidelines and tools to assess your unique risk factors and tailor a treatment plan to fit your needs.
Treating high cholesterol sooner can significantly lower the risk of heart disease and stroke by reducing the levels of bad (LDL) cholesterol in the blood.
Stabilize Your Gut
Common digestive conditions we can treat:
Acid Reflux and GERD
Acid reflux is a condition where stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing symptoms like heartburn and discomfort in the chest. While common and treatable through diet changes and medications, acid reflux can lead to more serious health issues and should be evaluated by a healthcare provider.
Constipation
Constipation is when you have less than three bowel movements per week or find it hard to have a bowel movement. It's common and can be caused by a lack of fiber, not drinking enough fluids, or not being active. Other health issues or medications may also be to blame. While it varies from person to person, there are many ways to help prevent and treat constipation with medication to your ability to have normal bowel movements.
Diarrhea
Diarrhea is a common condition that involves the frequent passing of loose or watery stools. It often occurs when your digestive system struggles to absorb fluids or reacts to an infection, food intolerance, or stress. While uncomfortable, most cases of diarrhea are short-lived and can be managed with hydration and diet adjustments, but persistent or severe cases require medical attention.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder that affects the digestive system, causing symptoms like stomach cramps, bloating, diarrhea, and constipation. These symptoms come and go over time; or can last for days, weeks, or months. While the exact cause of IBS isn't known, it's believed to involve the brain-gut connection and can be managed through diet, lifestyle changes, and customized treatment with medication.
Genesight Testing
Genesight consultation, testing, and interpretation
A Genesight test can help you find the best medication based on your genetic makeup. If you often have side effects from medications, your genes may be a factor.
Your provider can order a Genesight test kit and ship it to your home. The results of the test will be used to create a highly customized medication treatment plan that works best for you.
If you already have Genesight test results from another doctor, we can review those and create a personalized treatment plan.
