Mental and Behavioral Health

At Simpura, we possess a deep understanding of the brain's intricate processes, functioning as a continuous chemical factory to produce vital neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine round the clock. These neurotransmitters are pivotal in governing mood, cognition, and behavior, relying solely on the availability of nutrients such as amino acids, vitamins, and minerals for their synthesis.

Decades of research by Dr. William J. Walsh, Ph.D., a distinguished researcher and founder of the Walsh Research Institute, have underscored the indispensable role of nutrients in neurotransmitter synthesis and function, and their profound impact on mental health disorders, spanning things from depression, ADHD, schizophrenia, and more. For instance, genetic variations may impede individuals' capacity to produce or regulate specific neurotransmitters like serotonin or dopamine. By effectively addressing genetic and epigenetic factors through targeted nutrigenomic therapy, we can enhance brain function and alleviate mental and behavioral symptoms stemming from biochemical imbalances.

Our dedication to providing comprehensive mental and behavioral health care is fortified by Dr. Denning's advanced training under the mentorship of Dr. Walsh. This equips us with state-of-the-art knowledge in utilizing nutrient interventions as epigenetic tools to regulate neurotransmitter expression and function. Grounded in the principle of biochemical individuality, this approach recognizes that each person has a distinct biochemistry shaped by genetics, environment, and lifestyle. Through this personalized approach, our goal is to optimize brain function and foster holistic well-being.

Conditions We Treat 

Our innovative nutrigenomic therapeutic approach enables us to effectively treat a wide range of conditions, including:

ADHD/ADD Obsessive compulsive disorer (OCD)

Oppositional defiance disorder (ODD) Disruptive behavioral issues

Depression Post-partum depression

Anxiety Panic disorder

Eating disorders Learning disorders 

Sensory processing disorder And more...

Traditional mental health treatments often prioritize altering neurotransmitter activity through medications to modify brain chemistry. While effective for some, these methods overlook the impact of underlying genetic and epigenetic factors in mental health conditions. This oversight is significant because medications, besides potentially causing side effects, are administered without considering an individual's unique biochemical makeup. Thus, what benefits one patient might prove ineffective, or even worsen symptoms, in another.

Consider depression treatment, for instance. Extensive research conducted by Dr. Walsh has unveiled five primary types of depression, suggesting that a one-size-fits-all approach is not adequate. This concept extends to the treatment of other mental and behavioral health issues as well.

As our understanding of neuroscience deepens, we're recognizing that numerous neurotransmitter imbalances can be traced back to genetic or epigenetic influences, affecting how essential nutrients are absorbed, metabolized, utilized, and stored. With advancements in neuroscience, we foresee a more precise comprehension of biochemical interventions to restore balance to brain chemistry. Nutrient therapy emerges as a powerful approach, bypassing potential side effects and harnessing molecules inherent to the body's natural processes.

At Simpura, our approach emphasizes a thorough examination of each patient's medical history alongside comprehensive laboratory testing. This detailed assessment enables us to identify specific underlying issues and tailor treatment plans accordingly. This meticulous evaluation enables us to pinpoint specific issues and tailor treatments accordingly, ensuring a more personalized and effective approach to mental health care.

We recognize the value of conventional methods, including medications and therapy, in mental health treatment, and by working collaboratively with these modalities, we aim to deliver customized care that supports holistic well-being. However, our approach is centered on optimizing patient outcomes by utilizing the lowest effective medication doses necessary, while also addressing the underlying biochemical imbalances, with a particular focus on genetic and epigenetic factors.

Our commitment is to provide personalized, holistic care to help you achieve optimal mental and behavioral health. Experience the difference our innovative approach can make in your life.
