Some of our most popular podcasts have been with Dr. Corey Schuler: he’s down-to-earth, practical in his approach to patient care, and very evidence-informed. And today is no exception! Join me and Corey as he talks through his “4 Pillar” approach to treating anxiety and depression. He discusses the multifactorial biochemical underpinnings of both conditions, his assessment tools (including labs), treatment (for acute presentations, chronic and co-managing those on pharma) and expectations of outcome. You won’t find the usual arsenal of natural therapeutics in Corey’s approach – he rarely uses 5HTP or St. Johns Wort – rather, he starts with full functional medicine and drills down into his 4 Pillars to determine next steps. We chat on new research – I think you’ll be impressed – and citation links are in show notes – including a recent study on Theracumin for memory and mood. Give us a thumbs up, leave a comment, and let us know what you think! ~ DrKF
