Mental Well-Being
One out of five Americans have or have had bouts with anxiety, depression or chronic stress. Commonly these illnesses are associated with imbalances within the body that can be identified and addressed through an integrative medicine approach versus just putting you on a pharmaceutical. For example most people do not have a deficit of the commonly prescribed SSRIs (selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors) such as Prozac, Paxil or Lexapro rather the problem lies in the production of serotonin. Did you know that 95% of serotonin your "feel good" neurotransmitter is made in the gut? Your anxiety or depression may very well be related to stomach or intestinal distress. Schedule with GLIM to help uncover your root causes and to improve upon your mental well-being.
