Advanced, state of the art Medication Management integrated with Complementary Targeted Nutritional Therapies.

Dr. Brauer is one of the pioneers in the emerging field of Integrative Psychopharmacologic Psychiatry (IPP). Integrative Psychopharmacologic Psychiatry is based upon the premise that when brain chemistry becomes disordered or imbalanced, improvement in dietary and lifestyle measures alone are insufficient to restore emotional health. If the chemical imbalances are too significant or longstanding, detoxification from pollutants, and specific nutrient factors in higher concentrations than found in food may be necessary for a few months or longer.

This concept of using concentrated doses of specific nutrient factors-Nutriceutical Therapy, was developed by double Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling, who called it Orthomolecular Medicine. Integrative Psychopharmacologic Psychiatry applies discoveries in Orthomolecular Medicine, and evidence based Anti Aging Medicine to restore brain health.

Psychiatric Medications

Detoxification of toxins and concentrated nutritional therapy alone may be insufficient. Specific medications, at least for a period of time, may be necessary. Correctly prescribed psychiatric medication may be both faster and more effective in alleviating significant emotional distress.

Individuals vary considerably in their sensitivity and response to medication. Dr. Brauer, a psycho pharmacologist with 30 years of experience, is very cautious and conservative in initiating and dosing prescribed medication. Potential side effects are minimized and potential benefits enhanced.

For maximum effectiveness, Dr. Brauer often combines Nutriceutical Therapy and Psychiatric Medications. One of a small but growing group of Integrative Pharmacologic Psychiatrists, Dr. Brauer uses newly developed testing methods to diagnose brain chemistry and hormone imbalances., Saliva, urine, blood testing, Genetic Analysis, and Brain Scans can yield information for more accurate treatment than ever before.
