1 in 4 American women is taking medication for mental health problems. Today we have a mismatch of our paleolithic genes and modern lifestyle. Depression is not a disease. You can not diagnose a mood disorder as you can with diabetes in a blood test or hypertension with a blood pressure reading.
We are finding that mood disorders are not brain problems but can be triggered by food intolerances, blood sugar imbalances, chemical exposures, thyroid dysfunction, and nutrient deficiency along with gut infections.
Anxiety is the most common mood disorder and affects over 40 million adults in the US or 18% of the population. That’s nearly 1 in every 5 people is experiencing anxiety. This is a modern phenomenon.
Depression is the leading cause of disability affecting over 15 million adults and is more prevalent in women. 80% of those with clinical depression receive no intervention. This is a real problem since depression is very treatable.

If you have a mood disorder, your general emotional state or mood is distorted or inconsistent with your circumstances and interferes with your ability to function. You may be extremely sad, empty or irritable (depressed), or you may have periods of depression alternating with being excessively happy (mania).
Anxiety disorders can also affect your mood and often occur along with depression.
The most powerful tools for healing include the ability to send the body signals of safety through meditation, diet, movement, restorative sleep and social support. Obtain adequate sunlight exposure, avoiding toxic chemicals and certain OTC and RX meds. Evaluating hypothyroidism as an overlooked cause for depression, nutrient status, gut infections, and HPA-Axis dysregulation will help in assessing the root cause.

Exceptional professional service that addressed all of my concerns, aches and pains. Really was superior Chiropractic care, after two visits. Much improvement.
McGuire Total Wellness is the best. Dr. McGuire is phenomenal, customer service staff is great and VERY flexible with scheduling/rescheduling. Resolved my pinched nerve in one visit!
This place is awesome. I've never had a chiropractor like Dr. McGuire. You don't feel like you're just another number or just another client. Unlike other chiropractors I have been to where everybody basically gets the same treatment, pop your back here, pop your neck there.... then send you home. He treats everyone and they're specific needs as an individual, he even remembers personal details of the conversation that you had last visit.
Very friendly and professional. I've been having some discomfort from normal wear and tear on my back and they helped me quite a bit. Definitely recommend.
Dr. McGuire did something for me today that my spine specialist couldn't even do. He made me able to stand up straight with little pain. The spine doctor just gave me pills and shots that didn't do me any good. He said I still have a long way to go due to the many years of damage to my body parts though. This man is definitely worth seeing. He didn't take MRIs to find my pain, he felt it. People if your living with pain u have only been given pills and shots for that didn't help go see Dr. McGuire. You will be shocked to find out that a lot of your ailments are caused by your injuries.
I have been under Dr. Maguire‘s care for over three years on my initial visits. I could barely get out the bed now I’m up walking exercising and getting my life back.
I had my first ever adjustment today and left feeling AMAZING! Dr. McGuire makes sure you fully understand everything that is going on and is a great listener. I have torn meniscus in both knees and back pain and just after one visit my back feels great and my knees feel better then they have in a very long time! I’m very excited to be under his care and what he has in store for me!
Dr. McGuire has helped me with my back! I was a mess going in and 1000% better leaving! I can relax during adjustments because I trust him and his adjustments feel smooth not forceful.
