Still Anxious or Low—Even on an SSRI? The Nutrient & Mind–Body Fix You Haven’t Tried.

Depression and anxiety aren’t always “all in your head.” Sometimes they’re in your nutrients, gut, hormones, sleep, and stress load. In this episode, Dr. Rose (Functional Medicine Practitioner, 20+ years) explains how common vitamin and mineral deficiencies can mimic mood disorders—and how a root-cause plan can work with your current care (never DIY stopping meds).

In this episode you’ll learn:

🧠 The mind–body connection: how inflammation, gut health, and sleep shape mood

🧪 Key nutrient gaps linked to low mood/anxiety: B12, folate, iron/ferritin, vitamin D, omega-3s, magnesium, zinc, B6, thiamine

🔄 Why SSRIs may help symptoms but still leave you “stuck” if the terrain is off

🧰 Step-by-step plan: food, labs, targeted supplements, light/sleep, and movement

🧬 Hormone check-ins: thyroid, cortisol rhythm, blood sugar and their role in mood

This episode is for you if:

🧩 “Normal labs,” but you still feel flat, wired-but-tired, or foggy

🍳 Low protein intake, minimal fish, or limited sun exposure

💊 You’re on an SSRI/SNRI and still not yourself (or you have side effects)

🌀 IBS, reflux, or histamine issues that flare with stress or certain foods

We help adults who are tired of “normal labs” but real symptoms. Our care combines advanced testing with a personalized plan to restore energy, focus, sleep, and long-term resilience.
