Supplementing Your Mind and Body

Depression, anxiety, fatigue, adrenal fatigue and Burnout often come together.  I have used nutritional supplements for thirty years with excellent results, which new research has proven to be effective.   I explain to many of my patients that when their fight-or-flight mechanism is compromised, any or all of those symptoms may occur.  The fight-or-flight is controlled by the HPA axis, Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Adrenal axis, which is controlled by the Hippocampus which gives use the HHPA axis.  Nutritional supplements to support the full HHPA axis is a key component to helping those with depression, anxiety, fatigue, adrenal fatigue and Burnout.

The interesting part of the research is that those that showed the highest need for nutritional supplements were those that did not respond  to medications.  The reason medications fail so many patients is because they do not have the minimal level of nutrients to utilize the medications.  The irony is that supplying those patients with good nutritional support usually reduces their need for medications or makes them work more efficiently.
