Mental Health

Depression and anxiety are two common mental health concerns that can decrease your quality of life. Feelings of apathy, or sadness and frustration effect millions of Americans each year. These symptoms can be mild, moderate or severe ranging from sleep problems, loss of energy, recurring thoughts, difficulty concentrating and self-hate. The causes of anxiety and depression are similar, but may differ as each person is unique. Both could involve genetic factors as in the case of abnormal brain chemicals or environmental factors, such as depression shortly after the birth of a child or with a change in season or lifestyle.

It is important to note that there are many options available to help you feel better. A comprehensive treatment plan for mental health may include a range of complementary and alternative therapies. Nutritional supplements and exercise may reduce the symptoms of some anxiety and depression. Studies of formerly depressed adolescent mothers, children hospitalized for depression, and women with eating disorders suggest that massage along with certain herbal medications can decrease stress hormone levels, feelings of anxiety, and symptoms of depression. Please note that it is important to see a professional before you start any protocol as there could be interactions between medications and certain health concerns.

Side effects from certain medications make it difficult for some to take their medications, but alternative therapies may be helpful in reducing the side effects from such medications and address the nutrients the medications depleted as well. Naturopathic doctors can work with your psychiatrist to get the right balance of medication and alternative therapies to help you feel better. Without treatment, these conditions can have a devastating effect on people’s lives. By developing a solid support network with friends, family and professionals you can greatly improve your quality of life.

Saliva Testing

$175 Estradiol, progesterone, DHEA, cortisol, testosterone

$150 4 time cortisol test. Assesses cortisol curve to test adrenal function

For men and women. You will receive an evaluation report including your test results, details of your current symptoms, and an analysis of your hormone status. The test results will help you identify hormone imbalances, metabolic risk factors and overall wellness prior to the appearance of symptoms or disease. The results may also identify specific imbalances associated with symptoms, establish baselines prior to surgery or at the beginning of therapy, as well as monitor hormone levels while supplementing.

Saliva testing is a convenient, inexpensive, and above all, accurate means of testing steroid hormones. Scientific studies have shown a strong correlation between steroid hormone levels in saliva and the amount of hormone in the blood that is active or “bioavailable.” It is this fraction of total hormone that is free to enter the target tissues in the brain, uterus, skin, and breasts.

Blood work is recommended if you have a PPO for your insurance provider as your PPO may cover blood work ordered by Dr. Austin.
