The Depression Pandemic—Functional Medicine Strategies and Protocols to Manage Depression and Anxiety

 

The Depression Pandemic explores the anatomy and chemistry of the relationship between the hypothalamicpituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and the impact of neurotransmitter influences on mood and anxiety, and how specific natural agents, in combination and alone, can influence these factors.

Viscerosomatic Reflexes and the Brain that Influences Them

Maximizing the Clinical Effectiveness of Your Adjustment through Neurology—An Introduction into Analysis & Treatment Protocols
