About Us
The practices at Resilient Mind Medicine are centered around the understanding that durable healing of any chronic health condition, but, especially mental health needs to happen in tandem with cellular health healing.
After practicing 20 years in primary care medicine I saw increasingly more and more people struggling with less than ideal mental health. This reached a new apex during the COVID pandemic. Our typical treatment paradigm is based on a persons report of symptoms and the provider then typically clusters them together to make them characteristic of a specific diagnosis label with an associated code. This diagnosis is used to drive prescription treatment protocols that have been validated in studies and therefore indicated for use by the FDA. This approach is minimally better than a best guess and usually we initiate prescription treatment that has been proven only minimally better than placebo. Often times people wait weeks to begin to feel better, if they do, and often that improvement comes at the cost of additional untoward side effects. In my experience these treatments do not tend to be durable and people often experience dose escalations and or additional prescriptions to seek to optimize therapeutic impact. In my experience, given the treatment options, side effects, lack of durability and rarely complete resolution of symptoms people were on an indefinite course of suboptimal mental health. There were no tests to better understand the origin of the mental health challenges though we would preform basic chemistries and screenings such as checking the thyroid for dysfunction. Today, we now have testing available if needed to look at a limited number of genetic changes that may impact mental health that can assist in increased precision with therapeutic choices.
Despite these advances, many people continue to struggle with cycles of anxiety and depression.
At Resilient Mind Medicine, our approach is different.
We do not initiate chronic daily psychotherapeutics, but we will help to deprescribe them if that is your desire. In fact, we do no prescribe any medications chronically and indefinitely. We begin by ensuring that your cells receive the message of abundance by ensuring that they have all that they need to reawaken their innate capacity to heal. We support minimizing insults to our cells and our minds perception by mitigating toxins and irritants to our cells and encouraging support and guidance to adapt our minds perception to a healthier state. At that point, we may try to encourage and facilitate adjustment of cell and mind perception by leveraging a handful of short term, low dose medications that are each aimed at addressing both the cell and the mind to experience safety.
Because your mind is a mirror to the perception of your cells, you will not heal until you heal them together, simultaneously and we seek to address exactly that at Resilient Mind Medicine and achieve durable results that improve both general physical health and mental health together.
