Methylation: The Link Between Methylation and Mental Health
Optimizing and improving your mental health is a holistic process that involves the whole body.
Reject the traditional. Integrative psychiatry is more than medication and seeks to upend the status quo, not just solve the problem up with a pill. Integrative psychiatry is holistic and demands a reevaluation of our approach to wellness and health.
