A Root-Cause Approach to Mood and Brain Health
Mental health is deeply connected to nutritional status, gut health, hormone balance, and toxin exposure. Instead of simply masking symptoms with prescription medications, Dr. Rajsree Nambudripad, MD, takes a functional medicine approach to identify and correct underlying imbalances that contribute to mood disorders and cognitive decline.
Understanding the Root Causes of Mood Imbalances
Many mood and brain-related symptoms, such as:
- Anxiety and depression
- ADHD and OCD
- Autism spectrum disorders
- Brain fog and memory loss
are often linked to imbalanced neurotransmitters (brain chemicals) caused by:
- Nutritional deficiencies (such as Methyl B Complex, Vitamin D3 with K2, Magnesium, and Omega 3 Fish Oil)
- Blood sugar imbalances
- Hormonal imbalances (including thyroid dysfunction and adrenal stress)
- Gut dysbiosis and leaky gut (which impact neurotransmitter production)
- Toxin overload (such as heavy metals and environmental chemicals)
By identifying these imbalances, Dr. Rajsree develops a customized treatment plan using targeted supplementation, dietary changes, and lifestyle interventions to restore brain chemistry and emotional well-being naturally.
The Gut-Brain Axis: Healing the “Second Brain”
The gut microbiome plays a critical role in mental health and cognitive function. Since over 90% of serotonin—the “happiness neurotransmitter”—is produced in the gut, an imbalance in gut bacteria can significantly impact mood and emotional stability.
Dr. Rajsree evaluates the gut-brain connection, addressing:
- Leaky gut and food sensitivities that contribute to brain inflammation
- Dysbiosis (imbalanced gut bacteria) that affect neurotransmitter production
- Nutrient absorption issues that lead to deficiencies impacting brain function
Optimizing gut health naturally enhances mood, focus, and mental clarity without the need for prescription medications.
