Nutrient support is not a new concept and has been around since at least the 1960´s. Physicians traditionally receive very little nutrition training, if any. Some patients report a worsening in their mental health with seemingly benign nutrients such as a multivitamin, omega 3 oils, and medications such as SSRIs and birth control. Alternatively, some patients report improvement with zinc, magnesium, antioxidants and vitamins. Dr. Long is an internist who has completed additional training in Brain Health, and works with motivated patients who desire nutrient therapy prior to medication, or to augment medication treatment. Nutrient support may be appropriate for conditions such as postpartum depression, insomnia, anger, anxiety, depression, bipolar, perfectionism, anorexia, brain fog, poor memory, autism, addiction, chronic fatigue, and other disorders.
