Holistic Reviews At CorePsych

Consult Without Travel

Virtual Consult – Heads Up on Two Items
1. Conference Starts Tomorrow Jan 26!
Do consider attending the Holistic Health Virtual Conference, - I look forward to presenting there on Wednesday Jan 27.  I will be very active with feedback at the forum there, and have an excellent slide presentation for you to follow during the program.

We really must stop automatically treating superficial labels in psych, and need to get down to treating real people with evidenced based objectives. Hope you can make it, just hit the Holistic link on the side bar here, – and remember it’s virtual and recorded, you don’t have to be there real time!

2. We Can Talk Privately-
You’re here because you have listened to my podcasts, watched my YouTube videos, read my comprehensive perspective from hundreds of pages of posts and references – so do feel free to set up a time to review your personal matters by phone.

I have been answering a ton of questions on the comments of several posts here at CorePsych Blog [this one with >140 comments], and realize many of the readers here need more time, and more information regarding meds and the issues with meds – and just don’t have someone local to help resolve those next steps. Psych complexity is workable – if it is addressed comprehensively.

If you’re regularly unhappy with you or your child’s progress, have been walking in the darkness for years, and are just plain old frustrated with current inadequate intervention strategies – such as:

- ADHD meds just not working the way they should
- Chronic psych problems that are not resolving
- Refractory, ‘untreatable’ depression
- Unexplained moods and anxiety that won’t quit with multiple complex issues
- Addiction recovery with cravings that sit on your shoulder
- Brain injury interventions – more than just anti-epileptics
- Mixed Medical and Psych challenges, including more extensive testing
- SPECT Brain Imaging Cookie Cutter Results my personal review [or second opinion] – including neurotransmitter specifics

I can then give you targeted feedback if we can connect with your more specific history, laboratory testing, & med trials – and my comprehensive questionnaires that will save us time on the consult.

Phone Consults Are Often Helpful
Helping you decide what-to-do-next, seeking further evidence, is completely reasonable with a phone consult. Millions get on the phone everyday for specific input with medical and psych challenges. I won’t be writing for any medications unless you come to Va Beach, but I can discuss your next investigations. It’s easy, and often just a few visits can add significant, even more useful information.

What I Do
I can order helpful testing, some of which you can do in your own home, often covered by insurance. I can follow your progress with facts. The benefits are simple: more complete questions, more answers, and a concerted effort to give you information you can use with your own trusted medical team there at home. Frequently recommendations include specific neurotransmitter precursors.  We have seen many reduce their medications with these precise interventions, and have treated many without psych meds at all. I do interpret SPECT imaging, reports are customized, comprehensive, about 15-20 pages, and never cookie cutter.

If You Wish To Chat: How
If you are interested in an initial meeting, please drop an email to Caitlin, the CorePsych Administrator.

Thanks, I look forward to our next conversations – and see you at Holistic!

Insulin Resistance: Metabolic Syndrome Essentials

by Dr Charles Parker on September 16, 2007 · 2 comments

These are program notes for an audio program over at CorePsychPodcast. -Keeping the audio programs over there.

The term Insulin Resistance at first sounds too technical, but in
the end is one of the most pervasive and under appreciated hormone
disorders. It can make you depressed, and/or can simply kill you. Insulinfood1_2

In this podcast Nat Jones, RPh, our compounding pharmacist
consultant, and I discuss how insulin resistance effects so many
medical and psychiatric problems. We share basic ways to address the
problem in any office before the need for diabetic meds. Insulin
resistance accompanies so many of the hormone dysregulations we see
everyday.

Some of the topics we discuss:

  • What is insulin resistance [IR]
  • How does it relate to hormone measurement
  • How it relates to bioidentical hormone treatment
  • What hormone dysregulations are often associated with insulin resistance
  • What are high glycemic index foods – with a glycemic food reference list here
  • How we can use specific laboratory indicators for early identification
  • Specific books to read to understand IR and correct it – I recommend Mark Hyman’s book on UltraMetabolism, and Diana Schwarzbein’s book: The Schwarzbein Principle II

One other book not mentioned in the program, but an important
reference on the question of hormones and cancer, a topic we did
discuss, is the book by John Lee MD – one of those responsible for the
Women’s Health Initiative: What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Breast Cancer

The topic for the next program: Andropause: Male Menopause – measurement and safe correction without just throwing testosterone at it.

This program: 31 min duration
-and has the same excellent energy as our previous Nat interviews.

August 8, 2007 Beyond ADHD

At first PCOS looks like *just a hormone dysregulation,* but on careful review turns out to connect with multiple nutritional and metabolic issues, from thyroid, to adrenal, to carbohydrate addiction, to insulin resistance, and to many psych presentations

Who Cares about Estrogen Dominance?

August 5, 2007 Environment/Neurotoxins

In an unusual effort targeting a single chemical, several dozen scientists on Thursday issued a strongly worded consensus statement warning that an estrogen-like compound in plastic is likely to be causing an array of serious reproductive disorders in people.
