Thanks to Amy Bryant, Nurse Practitioner, patients have incredible therapeutic opportunities to promote healing of complex chronic issues that many practitioners shy away from. IV infusions are one of the many health tools used at TCLM to resolve chronic metabolic and immune issues. The purpose of IV therapy is to briefly boost vitamin stores in order to support and advance the healing process. IV cocktails are tailored to your specific medical needs. If it is determined that you may benefit from infusion support, IV therapy sessions will be scheduled according to the recommended frequency and duration while being continuously monitored. Infusions consist of specifically tailored vitamins and nutrients to support metabolic, immune, and detoxification pathways. IV cocktails may include but are not limited to, saline for adequate hydration, B vitamins, high-dose vitamin C, glutathione for detoxification, magnesium, carnitine, taurine, and other additional micronutrients. IV cocktails...

What the mind suppresses the body expresses.

Have you ever gone through a painful or traumatic experience and felt it physically in your body? Maybe you thought it was just a coincidence that your muscles started to ache, your stomach felt a bit off, or fatigue suddenly increased around the time of the event.. For some, the emotional impacts may have a delayed physical manifestation. Though it may seem coincidental, studies have proven that there are indeed physical impacts of trauma and emotions may be stored in the body, which may manifest in a variety of ways.

Here at TCLM, we do not separate emotional states of being from the body. Rather, we view emotions as real experiences that impact the body, just as much or even more than physical triggers to our physiology. Emotions have been described as "energy in motion." Energy that has no space or opportunity to be moved is energy that becomes trapped and stagnant. When this pattern perpetuates, just like physical triggers we...

Born and raised in Lookout Mountain, Georgia, I began my journey into medicine in a non-traditional pathway. I attended the University of Georgia (Go Dawgs!) studying Spanish and Portuguese. After college, I moved to Argentina to work and explore the language and culture. After a time, I decided it was time to settle down and chose a career in medicine, attending the Medical College of Georgia and then a residency in Family Medicine at St. Anthony’s in Colorado. While in residency I studied Integrative Medicine through the University of Arizona. I then worked as a primary care physician for several years in Boulder, Colorado, while studying with the Institute of Functional Medicine and integrating these principles into my practice.

Over time, it became clear that mainstream medicine was not conducive to my practicing medicine the way my patients deserved. So in 2022, I decided to leave my old practice and my family and I decided to embark on an adventure to Costa Rica....

Here at Texas Center for Lifestyle Medicine (TCLM), we are dedicated to taking a comprehensive approach to treating chronic health issues. We combine traditional medical treatments with lifestyle interventions, such as diet changes, physical activity, mind-body medicine tools, and more in order to get to the root of health issues.

At TCLM, we work closely with the top biological/holistic dentists, chiropractors, ENT's, cardiologists, sleep specialists, health coaches, and other experts to create individualized treatment plans for each patient who steps into our clinic.

For many patients, health education programs serve as an essential beginning point in their journey towards a healthier lifestyle. Through courses here at TCLM University, patients are able to learn in-depth background information...

We are only a couple of weeks into the New Year, but I would bet that many people have already quit on their goals or resolutions for this new chapter. We have been there... A new season begins, the realization of the post holiday weight gain sets in, and perfectionism often takes over. Setting high expectations when walking into a new year is common practice, especially for most of us here in the U.S., a very fast-paced, achievement-glorifying environment that often glorifies external success or looks. In the midst of all of the noise and competitiveness, it can be challenging to determine what you truly want, why you are seeking your goals, and thus how to make steps toward the life you want in a realistic, fulfilling, and doable manner.

This is where health coaching can make all the difference! A health coach can help create realistic goals, identify obstacles to weight loss and metabolic health, and help you establish a plan with strategies to overcome mental barriers....

Gut health has been a trendy topic in the health realm for the past few years, after research uncovered the many ways that the health of our gut flora impacts our overall wellness. Microbiome studies have taken off, showing us just how much the bacteria and organisms that take residence in our bodies can affect our health, from brain function, hormone balance, cognitive function, mood, energy production, nutrient absorption and more. Most of us know that we need to take take great care of our gut, but it can be challenging to know where to start.

At TCLM, we believe that everyone should have access to support, health education, and a deeper level of healthcare. Therefore, we have created several group Transformation Coaching Programs, consisting of communities tailored to outcomes our patients wish to achieve. Therefore, our patients can join a group based on whom they believe they may resonate with. Of course, we had to make gut health groups a priority, as so many of our...

Here at TCLM, we love implementing neurotherapy training in our patients' healing programs for mental and emotional well being as well as brain health improvements. There is no denying that the U.S. is facing a mental health crisis, but many are suffering silently as they do not know where to turn for tools and support. Neurotherapy training is a great place to start in combination with other healing tools. The technology has shown to significantly improve mental and emotional health as well as brain and cognitive function as a whole.

Neurotherapy training has continuously been helping our patients who want to take their brain and mental health to a higher level. Patients who are struggling with sleep issues, anxiety, depression, fatigue, memory issues, brain fog, and other cognitive issues have seen significant improvements when using our technology consistently. Why is neurotherapy training so effective in improving brain and mental health?- The premise of its technology is...

#WALK30, The wellness movement you need to be a part of! We love the #WALK30 Launch, led by Fit Houston for several reasons. As a clinic, we absolutely support the mission of decreasing chronic illnesses that have become so prevalent in the U.S., including diabetes, obesity, cancer, and hypertension.

This collective effort is passionate about this initiative to improving the health of our community in Houston through daily physical activity.

We love that the focal point of this wellness movement is physical activity, as movement has a...

Why do we recommend health coaching for all of our patients? Most of us know what we need to do in order to improve our health, such as exercise, eating healthy foods, prioritizing sleep, and managing stress. There is so much research, resources, and loads of free information at our fingertips, yet metabolic syndrome, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disorders, and other chronic illnesses continue to be on the rise.

Our society's mental health as a whole seems to be struggling more than ever, especially after the pandemic. Because there are so many resources and educational content is endless, we do not believe that the chronic physical illness and mental health crisis is due to a lack of knowledge, but an inability to know how to put the tools in action and remain on the course.

Though most of us know what we should be doing, it's quite another thing to have the support and guidance to make it happen. Behavior change takes a tremendous amount of effort...
