Are you living the life you want to live? If not, then why not? Is it finances, your job, relationships, or your health? Having been a physician for almost 30 years, I have had my fair share of patients tell me that their health limits their ability to live a full life.

We all tend to think about genetics when we consider the physical characteristics we have inherited from our family, like our hair color or the shape of our nose. But did you know that every foundational process in your body is an expression of your genes? Genes control processes like your metabolism, your weight, whether you might be at risk for chronic illness, and even possibly your mental health.

Are you struggling with depression? Have you been through different treatment options but still do not feel well? If so, you are not alone. As a family physician and a functional medicine practitioner treating patients for over 25 years, I have seen many patients just like you. In my functional medicine practice, I specifically treat patients with depression and those who have treatment-resistant depression.
