ANXIETY & DEPRESSION
Grow Through What You Go Through
When you feel overwhelmed, excessively worried about everything, OR have lost the joy in simple things like having dinner with your friends and feel hopeless, living life is not the same. One in six North Americans takes drugs for mood– mostly anxiolytics and anti-depressants that have a host of side-effects.¹‚² Recent research reveals that the perception of stress can increase the risk of lifestyle disease, shorten telomeres (protective end caps on the end of DNA), and accelerate cellular aging. 3,4

THE REVIVELIFE APPROACH
Your integrative practitioner at Revivelife will review all aspects of your health to determine if hormone, nutrient, gut-brain, neurotransmitters, or other imbalances are associated with feeling anxious or depressed.
- Hormones: Your hormones including cortisol, thyroid, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are all vital to a balanced mood.
- Nutrients: Vitamins ike vitamin B5, or vitamin B6 may be one of the nutrient deficiencies that are common for those who live in North America .5 B5 is vital for hormone production while B6 increases serotonin.
- Gut-Brain: 95% of your neurotransmitters are found in the gut, including serotonin, your happy and sleep hormone, as well as the duo GABA which is linked to relaxation, and glutamate your excitatory brain messenger.
- Targeted Probiotics: Human trials show that L. helveticus R0052 and B. longum R0175 can decrease stress, anxiety scores by 55% and depression scores by 50%.6
Our practitioners bring years of experience and advanced diagnostic testing which is often not found at your traditional medical doctor’s office to streamline therapies that are right for you
