Having practiced psychiatry for 30 years, I learned the value of psychiatric medications to help relieve the suffering of my patients with major depression, panic disorder, PTSD and a variety of other psychiatric illnesses. I am not someone who sees no value in antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications and the like.
During those 30 years and during several more as a life coach and consultant to some of the most influential people in America, I also had many clients come to see me, however, who were not suffering with psychiatric illnesses. They didn’t have the constellation of signs and symptoms that define any psychiatric disorder. Those clients of mine are like millions of Americans who struggle with low mood or with lack of focus or with poor sleep but shouldn’t be diagnosed with psychiatric illnesses or prescribed psychiatric medications. Those medications were never proven to work for isolated issues with mood, brain fog or routine trouble with sleep. And those medications can have severe side effects—including weight problems, sexual dysfunction, insomnia and even, tragically, suicidal thinking.
So, the solution for many people I have helped hasn’t been psychiatric medications. The solution has been natural supplements, including vitamins, herbs and adaptogens, that are known to improve mood, lower stress, combat brain fog and improve sleep.
That is the reason that I decided to begin offering three all-natural solutions to problems of mood, stress, lack of focus and poor sleep through my company 4VITAHEALTH.com. I co-founded the company with Kathryn Munoz, PhD, MPH a nutritional biochemist who has worked within the pharmaceutical industry for decades and now joins me in offering our natural solutions to those who need them. We currently offer three supplements that combine the best natural solutions for each problem, in each of our formulations: 4BETTERMOOD (4BETTERMOOD.com), 4BRAINFOG (4BRAINFOG.com) and 4GREATSLEEP (4GREATSLEEP.com).
It has been profoundly gratifying to see one person after another benefit from the solutions that Dr. Munoz and I are offering. These people might have struggled with low mood, brain fog or impaired sleep for many years—possibly, forever. They might have been placed on psychiatric medications that could have caused them severe side effects. Now, they have access to all-natural solutions, free from medication side effects. Over time, we will introduce other formulations to address other problems of the brain and mind. So, stay tuned
