There is a growing body of evidence that disorders as varied as aging, traumatic brain injury, post-concussive syndrome, autism, AD(H)D, anxiety, depression, epilepsy, stroke, fibromyalgia, chronic pain, chronic fatigue, arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, autoimmune diseases, irritable bowel, inflammatory bowel, Alzheimer's, diabetes, as well as other chronic and degenerative diseases, all share common features of inflammation, hormone imbalances (thyroid, adrenal, sex, growth hormone), neurotransmitter imbalances, brainwave imbalances, immune system imbalances, nutritional imbalances, gut dysbiosis, leaky gut, food sensitivities, and environmental toxicity.

Combining several different treatment techniques is often synergistic and achieves far better results than can be obtained from specialists who focus on only one modality. As such, these disorders all respond to variations on the same functional medicine diagnostic work-up and naturopathic treatment protocols using genomics, bio-identical hormones, amino acid testing and balancing, neurofeedback, nutrition, and immune system balancing. When appropriate, Dr. Weyrich also prescribes conventional medications to provide immediate relief while underlying causes are addressed more naturally. In some cases, Dr. Weyrich also provides manipulation and acupuncture.
