Root-Cause Approach to Seasonal Affective Disorder

Seasonal Affective Disorder impacts up to 10% of the population, especially in areas with long winters.

Many practitioners focus solely on light therapy and antidepressants, missing underlying root causes like hormone imbalances or vitamin D deficiencies, which can significantly impact recovery.

A root-cause approach to SAD focuses on identifying and addressing biochemical imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, and circadian rhythm disruptions. Through functional testing and targeted interventions, you can create personalized treatment plans for better outcomes.
