"Mensah Medical - Biomedical Clinic Specializing in Biochemical Imbalances & Nutrient Therapy"


Mensah Medical is a biomedical outpatient clinic for patients experiencing health issues from brain-changing nutrient imbalances such as autism, anxiety, AD(H)D, depression, mood swings, bipolar, eating disorders, OCD, pyrrole or methylation disorders, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's and/or Parkinson's Disease. Our integrative approach to medical care bridges the gap between traditional medicine and natural medicine based on biochemical evaluation, research, and extensive clinical experience. Children, teens and adults meet with our caring physicians who target underlying causes of health issues from brain-changing imbalances with targeted Advanced Nutrient Therapy - highly individualized vitamins, minerals, and amino acids.

Discover how an understanding of biochemistry can help identify the root cause of a child's attention issues (including ADHD), moodiness, defiance, aggressiveness, hyperactivity, impulsivity, phobias, fears, perfectionism, and OCD.  Albert Mensah, MD, discusses the critical role of methylation and how excessive nutrient overloads and vitamin deficiencies disrupt methylation pathways in the brain.  Topics include common biochemical imbalances such as copper/zinc imbalance, elevated toxic metals, pyrrole disorder and methylation imbalances.  Learn how advanced nutrient therapy (vitamins, minerals and amino acids) can significantly improve a child's focus, mood, behavior and academic perform

"Anxiety & Depression - Treating the Root Cause Rather than Symptoms"
Presenter:  Albert Mensah, MD

While Americans spend billions of dollars on prescription medications, these drugs treat only the symptoms without addressing the underlying root causes of the issue.  Albert Mensah, MD, discusses biochemical individuality and the five major depression biotypes -- undermethylation, folate deficiency, copper overload, pyrrole disorder and toxic metal overload.  Learn how targeted nutritional supplementation is a safe, natural, drug-free and effective method for treating anxiety and depression.
"MTHFR and Mental Health:  Understanding the Overall Effect of Individual Genetic Mutations (SNPs)"
Presenter:  Albert Mensah, MD

Methylation is a biochemical process responsible for dozens of chemical reactions in the body and the brain. Not only is it essential to physical and mental health, but also influences an individual’s characteristics and traits. For example, undermethylation is associated with perfectionism, high accomplishment, OCD tendencies, and seasonal allergies. Persons who are overmethylated have a tendency to have excellent social skills, artistic or musical abilities, chemical and food sensitivities, and high anxiety. Severe methylation imbalances can also contribute to serious mental health disorders.

The popular genetic testing for MTHFR, MS, and other SNPs, are qualitative in nature but are limited in their ability to accurately determine the overall effect of individual genetic mutations. Learn how overall methylation status is critical for the treatment of autism, anxiety, behavioral/learning disorders, depression, bipolar, eating disorders, and schizophrenia. 
"Are You Over or Undermethylating with Dr. Albert Mensah"

Did you know that more than 70% of people with behavioral and mental disorders have a methylation imbalance?   Watch Albert Mensah, MD, discuss undermethylation vs. overmethylation in Wendy Myer's Liveto110 podcast!
"A Comprehensive Approach to Biochemical Interventions in Treating Children on the Autism Spectrum"
Presenter:  Albert Mensah, MD

Learn how targeted nutritional and biochemical interventions can help correct the root cause of a child's developmental and behavioral issues, learning disorders, moodiness, trouble concentrating, restlessness, tantrums, high anxiety and rage as they relate to autism spectrum disorder. Topics include information on distinctive biochemical imbalances including undermethylation, copper overload, elevated toxic metals, and other significant deficiencies/overloads. Learn how advanced nutrient therapy is aimed at normalizing a child's body-brain chemistry, reducing brain inflammation and oxidative stress. Genetics, epigenetics and environment will be discussed including gastrointestinal (GI) tract issues such as malabsorption, food sensitivities, and yeast overgrowth.
"Facts & Myths About Pyrrole Disorder: Dr. Mensah Answers Your Questions"
Presenter:  Albert Mensah, MD

Dr. Albert Mensah debunks the common myths surrounding Pyrrole Disorder or Pyroluria (also known as the "Mauve Factor"). About 10% of the population is unknowingly affected by this condition, and is commonly found in individuals with anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, substance abuse, alcoholism, ODD, and ADHD. Discover how Pyrrole Disorder can be easily diagnosed and treated by restoring the body with necessary nutrients.
"Hidden Copper Overload: What Women Should Know About Metal Toxicity" 
Presenter:  Judith Bowman, MD
 
Watch Judith Bowman, MD, discuss elevated copper levels, estrogen, birth control and hormone therapy as they relate to anxiety, depression, postpartum, bipolar, fears/phobias, panic attacks, mood swings and other health issues. Learn the signs and symptoms of copper toxicity and discover how elevated copper can be reduced by using appropriate nutrient therapy. 
"Debunking the Detox Myth"
Presenters:  Samantha Gilbert and Albert Mensah, MD

Considering a cleanse? Experts Samantha Gilbert and Dr. Albert Mensah agree that detox diets do little to help -- and may even harm you

Before you sign up for the latest juice fast or elimination diet, it's important to remember that dramatic dietary changes can result in nutrient deprivation and overloads, leading to unwanted changes in mood and behavior.
