1 in 4 American women is taking medication for mental health problems. Today we have a mismatch of our paleolithic genes and modern lifestyle. Depression is not a disease. You can not diagnose a mood disorder as you can with diabetes in a blood test or hypertension with a blood pressure reading.
We are finding that mood disorders are not brain problems but can be triggered by food intolerances, blood sugar imbalances, chemical exposures, thyroid dysfunction, and nutrient deficiency along with gut infections.
Anxiety is the most common mood disorder and affects over 40 million adults in the US or 18% of the population. That’s nearly 1 in every 5 people is experiencing anxiety. This is a modern phenomenon.
Depression is the leading cause of disability affecting over 15 million adults and is more prevalent in women. 80% of those with clinical depression receive no intervention. This is a real problem since depression is very treatable.

Holistic Approach
Avoid unnecessary medications that only treat the symptoms. Get to the root cause of your mood imbalances.
If you have a mood disorder, your general emotional state or mood is distorted or inconsistent with your circumstances and interferes with your ability to function. You may be extremely sad, empty or irritable (depressed), or you may have periods of depression alternating with being excessively happy (mania).
Anxiety disorders can also affect your mood and often occur along with depression.
The most powerful tools for healing include the ability to send the body signals of safety through meditation, diet, movement, restorative sleep and social support. Obtain adequate sunlight exposure, avoiding toxic chemicals and certain OTC and RX meds. Evaluating hypothyroidism as an overlooked cause for depression, nutrient status, gut infections, and HPA-Axis dysregulation will help in assessing the root cause.

This chiropractic experience has been awesome! The staff and doctors are super knowledgeable and very friendly. The massage side of the business has been excellent at helping my wife feel better!
I've been going here for a few months now.
Downstairs, everyone at the counter is super helpful and friendly. Never have to wait long since there are a few people working the desk(s).
I've been seen by Dr. Jason, he's always very thorough and keeps a pleasant disposition.
I also am being seen upstairs and again, the members working the front desk are always very polite and efficient. They make it a point to really try and remember their customer's names upon arrival (both upstairs and downstairs). I've been seen by Tonya and Patrick. They are both great and I appreciate their different techniques.
I highly recommend Fourth Ave!
