Depression
Depression is increasingly understood as an inflammatory and metabolic condition. We evaluate inflammation, gut health, hormones, and nutrient status to guide treatment.
Symptoms
Persistent low mood, loss of interest, fatigue, sleep and appetite changes, and feelings of hopelessness.
Causes and risk
Neuroinflammation, gut dysbiosis, vitamin D and omega-3 deficiency, thyroid dysfunction, and chronic stress.
How it is evaluated
Inflammatory markers (hs-CRP, homocysteine), thyroid, vitamin D, omega-3 index, B12, folate, and gut health markers.
Treatment
Anti-inflammatory nutrition, omega-3 and vitamin D supplementation, gut restoration, exercise, and coordination with therapy or psychiatry.
