Holistic medicine is whole-body focused and treats several conditions with natural methods. At the heart of this practice, advanced nutrient therapy uses whole foods and nutrients to address biochemical imbalances caused by genetic predisposition and environmental stressors.
How Does Advanced Nutrient Therapy Work?
Individualized advanced nutrient therapy uses urine tests, bloodwork and genetic tests to discover biochemical imbalances causing illness. These imbalances affect neurotransmitters, causing mental illness and brain dysfunction. Instead of turning to medications, prioritizing nutrients can balance deficiencies to safely and effectively treat these conditions.

Treatable Conditions With Nutrient Therapy
Yang Institute follows the teachings of scientist Dr. William Walsh, nutrient therapy and his five depression biotypes — under-methylation, high-copper, folate deficiency, toxic metal and pyrrole disorder. He believes these biotypes can disrupt neurotransmitter or hormone production, affecting mood and energy levels.
His research has inspired us to address several mental health conditions with nutrient therapy, including:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Schizophrenia - Bipolar disorder
- ADHD
- Autism
- Dementia
Benefits of Advanced Nutrient Therapy
A primary advantage of choosing nutrient therapy for mental health is avoiding medication side effects. Nutrient therapy directly addresses neurotransmitter imbalances with the natural ingredients your body needs to function, reducing the need for additional unknown substances. Yang Institute specialists ensure you know exactly what is going into your body so you can make the most of your treatment.
