Treating the Whole Person

Feelings of despondency and fatigue could be due to a hormonal imbalance, such as a deficiency in progesterone. Unfortunately, most physicians and psychiatrists don’t look for the root causes behind patients’ symptoms. Many health-care professionals may diagnose lack of focus in a patient as attention deficit disorder or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder rather than looking to underlying causes such as Lyme disease, past head trauma, or even gut dysfunction.

Amen Clinics is a world leader in applying brain imaging science. The Amen Clinics’ approach targets imbalances of the body and the brain. All appropriate therapies are used, including nutritional supplements, hormone replacement, brain health nutrition coaching, psychotherapy, and, if needed, conventional medications.

Dr. Eboni Cornish of Amen Clinics believes that in order to treat the brain, you must treat the whole person. Their approach to integrative medicine addresses biological, psychological, social, and spiritual factors that can influence health and well-being. The goal is not only to help patients with their short-term symptoms but to examine the causes of these symptoms to provide long-term benefits and prevent other medical issues from developing. Integrative medicine is based on solid science. Patient evaluations are individualized and may include brain scans, diagnostic testing, neurologic testing, and autism spectrum disorder evaluation. The comprehensive testing involved in integrative medicine may determine the root cause of a patient’s problem.
