Naturopath Mental health & mood treatment in EdmontonImprove your anxiety & depression with Naturopathic medicine.
Key mood boosting nutrients: B3 - Anxiety is one of the manifestations of vitamin B3 deficiency which is why our Mood IV treatments are loaded with Niacinamide (a form of B3). Niacinamide can also be given orally and is thought to exhibit a benzodiazepine like pharmacologic effect. Magnesium - Magnesium deficiency can cause both anxiety & decreased stress tolerance. So our Naturopaths usually give 1 - 1.5grams of Magnesium sulfate in our Intravenous mood treatments which pairs nicely with Vitamin B6 and Taurine. Magnesium Glycinate is the form our Naturopathic doctors use when dosing Magnesium orally. B12 - Vitamin B12 in the methyl-form (the type of B12 our Naturopaths use) is imperative for serotonin and dopamine production. Some of our mental health patients do dramatically well on just intramuscular B12 shots. Some explanations for this is that these patients presumably have a higher-than-normal requirement for vitamin B12. B12 shots can be helpful for both anxiety and depression. |

Our Naturopaths always start with hormone testing in all mental health cases with emphasis on DHEA, Testosterone and Thyroid Hormone. Male hormones such as DHEA and Testosterone play an intimate role in both female and male mood concerns and Hypothyroidism is a reversibile cause of depression. Our Naturopaths find that hypothyroidism is often frequently overlooked in many of our Edmonton patients. Our Clinic also offers Edmonton Neurotransmitter testing to measure levels of Serotonin, Dopamine and GABA as well as PEA, Epinephrine, Norepinephrine, and Glutamate so that our Naturopaths can make extremely specific recommendations for augmenting your mood and mental health. |
