About Courtney Snyder MD
Thank you for stopping by. Here’s a little about me and the type of insights, research and inspiration I share here.
about holistic psychiatry
Though conventionally trained as an adult and child psychiatrist, my approach, for the last 10 years, has been holistic (about the whole person) and functional (addressing the root causes of illness). By root cause, I mean nutrient imbalances shown to impact the brain, gut microbiome imbalance, inflammation, toxicity, trauma, exaggerated stress response, and more. Often, there’s an alignment of these root causes - a tipping point that leads to the onset of symptoms such as depression, anxiety, fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, psychosis, addiction, and others.
my path
My desire to share (through writing, podcasting, and art) over the last 10 years has been fueled by my own “alignment of root causes,” including mold toxicity and electromagnetic hypersensitivity.
