Anxiety, Depression and Your Gut

Are you struggling with anxiety or depression and are taking medications that may help for a short time but don’t provide a long term solution? Are you looking to figure out what imbalance is causing these symptoms and how to treat it naturally and permanently? The gut has been nicknamed “The Second Brain,” and this can’t be more relevant for today’s chaotic society. As we have increasingly turned to medications, antibacterial everything, processed foods and high-stress lifestyles, the bacteria in our tummies has suffered-- and so have we. The microscopic organisms that take up residence in our bellies are our allies, as long as we provide a good home for them. But when our habits deteriorate, so does the quality of the gut bacteria. Scientists have known about this connection for decades, and new research further confirms it: health starts in the gut! Dr. Chellam is a board certified internist who worked in primary care for over 20 years until switching to functional medicine after seeking answers for her own health issues. Dr. Chellam specializes in being your investigator, searching for the root cause of your most pressing health concerns. As a functional medicine clinic, we help you to identify the root cause of your issues, rather than band-aiding with medications.
