Personalized Antidepressant Therapy

Is inflammation affecting your response to antidepressants? 1 in 5 Americans use at least one psychiatric drug per day. London researchers have developed a novel blood test using macrophage migration inhibitory factor and interleukin-1beta as the bio-markers. High levels of these cytokines may necessitate more aggressive medication including antidepressants and anti-inflammatory drugs to treat depression.

Additional randomized clinical studies are needed before this option is available to patients via their conventional health practitioner. In the interim, perhaps adding an anti-inflammatory diet and gut healing protocol to your current treatment could brighten your mood.

Jump over to my Nutrition Consultations page and let’s get started. I’m here to help guide and empower you to start your life-changing journey of eating a whole foods based anti-inflammatory diet and living a healthy happy life.
