Rather than investigating the root cause of your condition, they prescribe drugs to alter your brain’s neurotransmitters – like serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine.
But if you are like many, after taking medication, you still have symptoms. You wonder whether there is another way, but your doctor dismisses your questions or ideas for a more natural way to heal.
I’m here to share what few conventional doctors will tell you…
It’s possible to break free from the pill-based approach to anxiety, depression, and brain fog with natural solutions that get to the root cause of the issue.
You try talking to your doctor about your symptoms, and all they can offer you is medication to try and suppress them, without investigating underlying causes.
You want a clear picture of your overall health, but you’re not sure what labs to ask for.
You listen to the advice of your doctor and take medication, yet you’re still dealing with the symptoms of anxiety, depression, and brain fog, and now are experiencing side effects to that medication.
Despite your struggle with sleep, exhaustion, body pains, and digestive problems, doctors don’t seem to believe they are related to your mood or brain fog. No one is looking at the whole picture.
You’re repeatedly told your lab results are normal, yet you don’t feel good.
You seek out new doctors for a second opinion, but you feel like you’re not being heard – your concerns are constantly dismissed.
You’re tired of taking medications and know there must be a more holistic way to heal, but you’re not sure who to trust.
You know you need an advocate who really understands your concerns and can show you practical steps to take to finally start feeling better.
There is so much beneath the surface that drugs can never reach.
This is why I turned to the functional medicine approach, diving deep into the research and learning all I could, and starting my own holistic medical practice, focused on addressing root causes of symptoms.
Functional medicine uses natural strategies and a whole-person perspective that work to address underlying patterns – like nervous system reactivity, nutritional deficiencies, or the gut microbiome – that affect the physical body AND your mind and mood. What goes on in your body is intrinsically connected with what goes on in your mind.
“If you are dealing with anxiety or panic attacks or have any bowel, intestinal or gut issues, I would highly recommend Dr. McCarthy. She could change your life for the better like she changed mine”
"I used to wake up with this anxiety all the time, and now it's not there anymore".
"I have my mood back and it's stable, my brain is functioning again. I remember things, even people's names from childhood that I had been forgetting."
