At the bottom of this page is a scheduling calendar for requesting a non-patient consultation. The times and fees are listed below.
Who Might Consider a Non-Patient Phone Consultation?
Those interested in learning more about specific root causes (listed below) that may be contributing to their or their child's specific brain related symptoms.
Those who have not fully benefited from or tolerated previous allopathic/conventional psychiatric treatment or functional medicine treatment. They may feel they are not progressing or something is being missed.
Those who would like me to review their labs in the context of their symptoms, timeline and current treatment.
Those interested in resources specific to their situation, such as labs that they may order on their own (or discuss with their doctor). Because these non-patient phone consultations do not involve a comprehensive treatment evaluation, I am unable to order labs, prescribe medication or give detailed treatment recommendations.
AND/OR
Those interested in possible treatment who live in Kentucky, Indiana, Florida or Ohio, or who are able to travel to one of those states for their tele-health (video) appointments. The non-patient phone consultation is required prior to a treatmentevaluation. The non-patient phone consultation allows us both to consider if this type of treatment will be a good fit. Based on the consultation, if treatment is deemed appropriate, some choose to start completing useful lab tests (that they order on their own or discuss with their doctor) so that results are available at the time of the patient treatment evaluation. Though I am a licensed physician and not opposed to psychiatric medications, that is not the focus of my practice or continuing education. As a result, I do not prescribe or manage psychiatric medications.However, I do prescribe compounded nutrient therapy, medication for mast cell stabilization and medication for the treatment of mold toxicity and/or candida, when indicated.
Once the consultation is purchased and scheduled I will invite you to share any other information you would like me to review prior to your consultation, such as:
Your goals for the call.
Informal 1-2 page timeline using your (or your child's age) to mark notable events, exposures, onset of symptoms, medical or psychiatric diagnoses, etc.
List of current medications and supplements.
Relevant lab reports, if any.
During your consultation, I will obtain further information from you to better understand what factors may be contributing to your symptoms, what may have been missed previously in terms of underlying factors, diagnoses or treatments, provide direction on how you can move forward, and help you understand the bigger picture of your illness.
Children If the phone consultation is regarding a child under the age of 18, they do not need to be present on the call unless that is your preference. If a treatment evaluation is scheduled after the consultation, your child would need to be present for part of the appointment, which would be by video.
Many of the Root Causes of Brain Related Symptoms That I Consider - Nutrient Imbalances, Including Methylation Imbalances (that impact neurotransmitter functioning) - Toxicity/Oxidative Stress (mold toxicity and other biotoxins, metals, chemical, EMF/electromagnetic fields) - Imbalances in the Microbiome (the collection of microbes in our gastrointestinal tract) - Infections or Colonizations - Inflammation, including Mast Cell Activation, Autoimmunity, Allergy, Food Sensitivities - Limbic System Trauma or Dysfunction due to:
- Attachment/Relationship Style - Autonomic Dysfunction (which relates to our fight, flight or freeze response) - Abnormalities in Stress Hormone Pathways and Other Hormone Related Root Causes - Structural Issues of the Head and Neck - Genetic Variants (snps/polymorphisms) - Lifestyle Factors * diet, exercise * stress reduction * social support * meaning/purpose and spiritual incongruence
