A Nutritional Genomics Approach to Treatment-Resistant Depression & Mood Disorders | Dr. Christy Williamson

We haven't talked about genetics in quite sometime. The technology around genetics, nutrigenomics testing, and the knowledge base around epigenetics has sky-rocketed over the past 10 years. We no longer need to do the 23&me and filter the raw data through different programs for interpretation.
Dr. Chrissie took her health and her children's health into her own hands when the medical system failed them. She almost lost both of her children in the span of a few weeks. Her health declined rapidly and was bedridden. She says it was functional medicine and nutrition that saved her - not the dozens of medications that were prescribed. They might work for some people but not everyone.
Dr. Chrissie Williamson's Nutritional Genomics Institute (NGI) and its innovative OmicsDx Genome Panels are reshaping our approach to healthcare and nutrition, recognizing the absence of a one-size-fits-all solution. Through groundbreaking research and personalized genomic analysis, NGI empowers patients to understand how their unique genetics, biochemistry, mindset, and risks influence their health. With a focus on sustainable, personalized lifestyle changes, NGI is at the forefront of emerging technology and medicine, empowering patients to take control of their health destiny.
Dr. Chrissie, a nationally recognized Certified Nutritional Specialist (CNS) and Licensed Dietician/Nutritionist in Maryland, earned her DCN (summa cum laude) from MUIH and her master's degree (summa cum laude) in human nutrition from the University of Bridgeport. Based in Richmond, Virginia, she envisioned integrating a primary care physician's office with genomic, phenomic, and functional medicine specialists, seamlessly blending with laboratory data and appointments, and brought this vision to life at GenMedx.
We discussed:

• The most common missed diagnoses of depression
• What cofactors are needed for the different types of depression
• The biochemistry of depression and anxiety
• What donors are and how are they related to stress

She is brilliant and answered a question that I have been wondering about for years!
