We don’t just focus on symptoms—we look at what’s going on underneath.

Things like energy, mood, focus, sleep, stress, and inflammation are all connected to how your body is functioning as a whole.

Everyone is different, which means healing shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all. Your plan is built around your body, your needs, and what’s realistic for your life.

We help you understand what your body is telling you, then support you in making small, steady changes that help you feel more balanced and in control over time.

The Touchpoints180 Approach is about looking at the whole person—not just symptoms.

We use a medically guided, education-centered framework that helps connect your brain and body through the metabolic foundation of health. Instead of focusing on one issue at a time, we look at the systems that influence mood, energy, focus, inflammation, and overall resilience.

When your body’s energy production at the cellular level is off, it can affect how you think, feel, and function. That’s why we take time to understand what’s happening underneath the surface—not just what shows up on the outside.

We also believe education is powerful. When you understand how your body and brain work together, you gain more control and confidence in your healing journey.

With precision medicine, we create a personalized plan that may include nutrition, lifestyle support, and medical guidance—always tailored to your unique needs.

Healing is not one-size-fits-all. It’s personal, thoughtful, and built around you. 💙

The science behind a customized diet is all about brain energy. It’s about metabolic psychiatry —ketogenic psychiatry — where we use nutritional as a treatment.

Not as a wild diet fad, not as a YouTube promo, not on a whim.

As sophisticated treatment. Turning on brain mitochondria by providing ketones for fuel, so cells can repair themselves and have the energy to function at their best.

Metabolic illness has crescendoed in the 21st century. So have psychiatric symptoms. 🙁

Processed, high-carbohydrate foods full of sugars and seed oils actually reduce the energy the cells have to work with, because glucose (sugar) can be an inefficient form of fuel if it can’t get into your cells. When your cells lack the internal energy they need to function well, symptoms of disease begin to appear. The longer that goes on the more serious it gets.

When we refer to brain metabolism, we’re talking about the ability of your brain to turn glucose into energy.

We test for the fasting insulin level, which should ideally be under 5. Yes, under 5. (In our practice, we actually run tests to determine your insulin resistance score, which gives you a numbered score if you are insulin resistant.)

Lori Calabrese, MD describes a podcast with Dr. Georgia Ede about how metabolic psychiatry's secret weapon is nutritional ketosis.

Do You Need A for Panic Attacks?

Or maybe just anxiety…and possibly depression? By eating a ketogenic diet, you can enter a state of therapeutic nutritional ketosis. In this state, your brain is empowered to heal and restore balance through a cascade of processes in your liver, your microbiome, and your mitochondria. It can make more GABA, serotonin, and more of those components that help you feel relaxed, at ease, and resilient.

If you struggle with panic attacks and worry, and nothing you’ve tried has helped, call us.

Lori Calabrese, MD shows how a ketogenic diet dismantles panic attacks and anxiety through her Metabolic Psychiatry program, Touchpoints 180™
