You don’t have to overhaul your entire life overnight to make a difference in your mental health. Sometimes, it’s the smallest, consistent actions that lead to the biggest changes.

✔ Just 10 minutes of walking a day can boost your mood and clear your mind.
✔ Drinking more water helps keep your body and brain hydrated and functioning at their best.
✔ Journaling before bed can help you process your thoughts and reduce stress, making it easier to sleep.

These simple micro-habits might seem small, but over time they build real resilience against anxiety and depression — helping you feel stronger and more balanced every day.

Start where you are. Every step counts.

“For years, I struggled with debilitating depression. Nothing I tried helped. Then Erika suggested I try Spravato. I was desperate, so I said, ‘Why not?’
Before treatment, I was giving all my energy taking care of everyone else—but not myself. Spravato helped me realize that I must tend to my own emotional and physical needs first to heal from past trauma.
Now, when I take care of myself, I’m able to live a more authentic, meaningful life.”

If you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed, remember: healing starts with you. You deserve care that meets you where you are.

Spending time in nature isn’t just refreshing—it actually helps reduce stress hormones like cortisol and boosts your overall mood and mental well-being. Studies show that even just 15 minutes outdoors can help reset your brain, clear your mind, and improve focus.

Here in Idaho, we’re lucky to be surrounded by incredible natural beauty—from mountains and forests to lakes and trails.

Taking time to step outside and connect with nature isn’t just enjoyable, it’s powerful medicine for your mind and body.

Whether it’s a short walk in the park, a hike through the woods, or simply sitting outside soaking up the fresh air, nature has a way of grounding us and helping us find balance.

Depression doesn’t always look like what you expect.

For some people, it’s not constant sadness—it’s sleeping too much, feeling “heavy,” eating more than usual, or seeming fine on the outside while struggling internally.

This lesser-known subtype is called Atypical Depression, and because it looks different, it’s often misunderstood, missed, or misdiagnosed.

If you’ve ever felt like your symptoms don’t fit the “typical” mold, this new blog post is for you.
We break down what Atypical Depression is, why it hides in plain sight, and how treatments like Spravato® and NAD+ IV Therapy can offer real relief.

Less sunlight = less vitamin D — and that can take a real toll on your mood, energy, and overall mental health.

As the days get shorter and darker, many people experience a dip in vitamin D levels without even realizing it. Low levels have been linked to symptoms of depression, fatigue, and brain fog.

🩺 This fall, consider asking your provider to check your vitamin D levels. It might be the missing link in how you're feeling — and a simple step toward brighter days ahead.

If you’ve tried multiple antidepressants without relief, it’s easy to feel discouraged. But not responding to traditional treatments doesn’t mean you’re out of options.
There is real, evidence-based hope.

At Sturges Family Practice, we offer advanced therapies for treatment-resistant depression, including:
💉 Spravato® (esketamine) – a fast-acting nasal spray that targets different brain pathways than typical antidepressants.
🧬 NAD+ Therapy – supports brain health, energy, and mood at the cellular level.
💧 IV Ketamine Therapy – shown to rapidly reduce symptoms of severe depression and suicidal thoughts.

You’re not alone. You’re not broken. And you do have options.
✨ You deserve to feel better.

“I am so grateful for every single person in this office. They saved my life.
How do you say thank you to the people who saved your life?”

Some words carry the weight of a whole journey — of struggle, healing, and hope. This powerful message from a patient reminds us why we do what we do.

At Sturges Family Practice, care goes beyond prescriptions and appointments. It’s about listening, showing up, and walking with people through their hardest moments.

💛 To our patients: You are never just a number here. Your story matters. Your healing matters.

Struggling to sleep? 😴 You’re not alone — poor sleep and mental health often go hand in hand, creating a cycle that’s hard to break.

Here are a few simple tips to help you get more restful sleep:
🌙 Stick to a consistent sleep schedule – go to bed and wake up at the same time each day, even on weekends.
📵 Avoid screens at least 1 hour before bed – blue light can disrupt your body’s natural sleep rhythm.
🧘‍♀️ Try calming bedtime rituals – light stretching, reading, or sipping herbal tea can help signal to your brain that it’s time to wind down.
💤 Good sleep leads to better mood, sharper focus, and stronger emotional resilience. Prioritize your rest — your mind and body will thank you.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) – What to Watch For

As days get shorter, you may notice:
- Low energy
- Trouble concentrating
- Feeling down more often

If this sounds like you, it might be SAD—a type of depression triggered by less sunlight.

💡 Light therapy, vitamin D, and treatments like NAD+ can help.

“My first visit with Dr. Sturges, he spent over an hour with me. What doctor does that?”

Too many patients have been rushed, unheard, and overlooked in their healthcare journey. But here, things are different.

✨ One patient shared how they’d seen so many doctors who only gave them five minutes — and how shocked they were when Dr. Sturges took the time to really listen.

Because healing starts with being seen, heard, and understood. That’s not just a philosophy — it’s how we practice every single day.

🕰️ No stopwatch. No rushing. Just genuine, human care.
