If you or a loved one is struggling with a mental health condition, we can help! Our team of nutritionists and compounding pharmacists specialize in helping individuals safely and effectively restore balance and optimize their brain health using precision nutrient therapy. As compared to foreign molecules found in medications, nutrients are the only accurate biochemical keys that the brain can use for neurotransmitter balance, protection, and repair. Therefore, we can use carefully formulated nutrient blends to directly target and correct imbalances in brain chemistry and improve mental health, without side effects. Precision nutrient therapy is a highly personalized and powerful approach of correcting one’s biochemical imbalances using specific nutrients, in precise dosing and synergistic combinations, based on one’s test results. Research shows that by focusing on a handful of select nutrients, and balancing them, we can help most people with mental disorders. In fact, with targeted nutrients, 85% of patients report significant improvements in their mental health as well as reduced medication needs.
Many people have underlying genetic risk factors that can make them more vulnerable to developing mental health conditions. For example, people can exhibit an inborn tendency for abnormal levels of key nutrients directly involved in brain chemistry. In addition, environmental oxidative stress (toxins, trauma, etc.) can overwhelm the body’s antioxidant system and impact gene expression. As a result, individuals can have nutrient deficiencies and/or nutrient overloads that can have a serious impact on mental health and cognitive function. Research shows that 95% of individuals with mental health disorders such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, behavior disorders, and autism have distinct biochemical imbalances. These imbalances, once accurately identified via lab testing, can be naturally corrected using targeted nutrients, resulting in significant improvements in mental well-being. Even if a mental health disorder runs in one’s family, it does not mean that it is inevitable or irreversible. With the guidance of a skilled nutrition professional, precision nutrient therapy offers a safe and effective approach for optimizing a person’s brain chemistry based on their unique needs.
Our comprehensive Brain Biochemistry Custom Nutrient Package includes:
Lab testing to accurately determine your imbalances. This Brain Chemistry Panel was developed by Dr. William Walsh, nutritional psychiatry pioneer, based on his many years of research working with over 30,000 individuals with mental health disorders. Included are 5 key biomarkers important for assessing zinc and copper balance, methylation status, pyrrole levels, oxidative stress, and specific nutrient needs.
Detailed analysis of your medical history and interpretation of your lab test results.
Personalized action plan that includes recommendations for a customized nutrient formula.
30-minute phone consultation with a Village Green nutritionist to help you understand your results, discuss your individualized plan, and receive support and guidance.
Important package details:
After you purchase this package, you will receive an email from our partner lab, DHA Laboratory, within 1-3 business days. This email will include a requisition form to have your blood drawn at your local LabCorp Patient Service Center. In addition, a test kit for the urine collection (for the pyrrole analysis) will be shipped to your home. Follow the detailed instructions included in the kit to proceed.
You will also receive an email that includes a link to fill out your medical history forms.Your test results should be ready in approximately 10 business days and will be emailed to you.
Once your test results are in and your medical health forms have been filled out, everything will be reviewed and interpreted by a skilled healthcare practitioner. A detailed action plan will be created, which will include recommendations for your custom nutrient formula. You will then schedule an appointment with a nutritionist to receive your therapeutic plan.
You will then receive an email to coordinate scheduling your 30-minue phone consultation with a nutritionist.
During your phone consultation, your nutritionist will provide you with a detailed overview of your test results, share with you your custom nutrient recommendations, and answer any questions that you may have. Your nutritionist will provide you with the support and guidance you need to implement your nutrient plan.
After your consultation, your formula will be sent to our compounding lab for processing. The lab will reach out to you to discuss details such as directions for how to take your formula, when your order will be ready, your preference for receiving your formula (pick-up vs shipping), and for payment information. It is often advised that you start with a 30-day supply for your first formula. Then, you can order a 90-day supply. When refills are needed, you can reach out to your nutritionist or the compounding lab.
Regular follow-up appointments with your nutritionist is key for ongoing support and fine-tuning your nutrient formula. It is important to note that precision nutrient therapy can take time, and consistency is critical. We recommend that you retest after 3-6 months to help determine if any adjustments to your formula are necessary. Then, retesting annually is recommended.
Response time varies from person to person and depends on the specific imbalances being addressed. Some individuals experience benefits within a week of starting their nutrients; however, generally, with good compliance, steady improvements often occur within 2-3 months. Sometimes, certain imbalances can take up to 6 months to reach full effectiveness.
