Nutrient Based Depression Consultation | Walsh Protocol Assessment

This nutrition-based depression consultation is an initial physician evaluation for individuals seeking a structured, non-pharmaceutical approach to depression and anxiety. The assessment applies Walsh Protocol principles to identify biochemical patterns that influence mood, stress tolerance, and treatment response.

This consultation is designed for patients who are new to nutrient-based care and want a clinically guided starting point before advanced testing or follow-up services. Evaluation is based on a detailed symptom questionnaire and available laboratory information.

Dr. Epstein reviews symptom patterns, clinical history, and biochemical indicators to determine likely biotypes such as undermethylation, overmethylation, copper imbalance, pyrrole disorder, or toxic overload. Recommendations emphasize nutrition-based treatment for depression and nutrient therapy for anxiety, with guidance on supplement selection, avoidance, and dosing priorities.

This consultation includes:

• A physician-guided Walsh Protocol assessment
• An individualized nutrition and supplement strategy
• A 30-minute physician phone consultation
• Guidance on whether additional testing or follow-up may be helpful

This service is intended as an initial assessment, not a comprehensive methylation analysis. When symptoms are complex, ambiguous, or treatment response is limited, a more comprehensive consultation may be recommended.

This consultation provides physician interpretation and guidance. It does not include emergency care, psychiatric diagnosis, or medication management.
