Momentum Care™ Packages

Intensive Treatment for Complex & Treatment-Resistant Conditions

When months or years of conventional psychiatric care haven't provided lasting relief, it's time for a comprehensive approach that addresses ALL the systems affecting your mental health.

Momentum Care™ is our structured, team-based treatment program that combines psychiatry, psychology, functional medicine, and nutrition in coordinated packages with predictable timelines and costs.

Who Is Momentum Care For?

This intensive program is designed for:

✓ Treatment-resistant depression or anxiety - Multiple medication trials without success
✓ Complex co-occurring conditions - Mental health + medical issues (autoimmune, gut problems, hormonal imbalances)
✓ Chronic fatigue and brain fog - Despite "normal" lab results
✓ Post-medication struggles - Severe side effects or inability to tolerate psychiatric medications
✓ Functional decline - Your symptoms are affecting work, relationships, or daily functioning
✓ Seeking root causes - You want to understand WHY you're struggling, not just manage symptoms

If conventional psychiatry has reached its limits, Momentum Care goes deeper.

Our Tri-Medical Approach

Momentum Care integrates three complementary medical frameworks:

1. INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE

Combines evidence-based conventional treatments with complementary therapies:

• Standard psychiatric medications (when appropriate)
• Psychotherapy and behavioral interventions
• Meditation and mindfulness practices
• Targeted nutritional supplementation
• Stress reduction techniques (yoga, breathwork, sauna therapy)
• Sleep optimization protocols

2. FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE

Investigates root causes by assessing biological systems:

• Inflammation & Immune Function - Chronic inflammation drives depression and anxiety
• Gut Health - Microbiome imbalances affect neurotransmitter production
• Hormonal Balance - Thyroid, cortisol, sex hormones impact mood and energy
• Nutritional Status - Deficiencies in B vitamins, Omega-3s, Vitamin D, magnesium
• Metabolic Processes - Blood sugar dysregulation, insulin resistance
• Toxic Burden - Heavy metals, environmental toxins

3. REGENERATIVE MEDICINE

Supports the body's natural repair and healing capacity:

• Advanced peptide therapies (when indicated)
• Mitochondrial support for cellular energy
• NAD+ optimization for brain function
• Targeted interventions to restore depleted systems

This isn't alternative medicine. It's comprehensive medicine that leaves no stone unturned.

Why Fixed-Fee Packages?

Predictable costs. No surprise bills. You know exactly what you're investing upfront.

Structured momentum. Pre-scheduled visits keep you and your team on pace. Healing requires consistency.

Coordinated care. Your team meets regularly to discuss your progress—ensuring psychiatry, therapy, and nutrition are perfectly aligned.

No insurance restrictions. We order the testing and treatments you actually need, not what insurance approves.

Advanced Laboratory Testing

Understanding your body's current functioning is critical to healing. We use two tiers of lab work:

TIER 1: Foundational Quest Labs

Often covered by insurance

• Complete metabolic panel
• Lipid panel and cardiovascular markers
• Thyroid function (TSH, Free T3, Free T4, antibodies)
• Complete blood count
• Iron studies (ferritin, TIBC, serum iron)
• Vitamin D, B12, folate
• hs-CRP (inflammation marker)
• Fasting glucose and insulin
• Liver and kidney function

TIER 2: Advanced Functional Testing

Out-of-pocket specialty labs

Ordered based on clinical indication:

• Gastrointestinal: Comprehensive stool analysis, SIBO breath test, food sensitivities
• Hormones: Comprehensive hormone panels, cortisol rhythms, DHEA
• Genetics: MTHFR, pharmacogenomic testing for medication selection
• Neurotransmitters: Urinary neurotransmitter metabolites
• Immune System: Comprehensive immune panels, autoimmune markers
• Toxic Burden: Heavy metal testing, environmental toxin screening
• Nutritional: Micronutrient panels, Omega-3 index, amino acids

We don't order tests for the sake of testing. Every lab has a specific purpose in your treatment plan.

Success Requires Your Participation

Momentum Care is intensive—and that's the point.

While we provide expert guidance and treatment, your commitment to dietary changes, lifestyle modifications, and supplement protocols is essential to achieving lasting results.

This isn't passive treatment. You're an active participant in your healing.

Our role: Identify root causes, create the roadmap, provide the tools
Your role: Follow through with recommended changes, attend scheduled visits, communicate honestly

When both sides commit, transformation happens.
