Today, let’s explore a practice as essential as your diet or exercise regimen: mental fasting. Watch our newest video to learn that just as you might limit your food intake to improve physical health, mental fasting involves reducing external stimuli to enhance your mental well-being. In our modern world, we’re constantly bombarded with information from every direction, leading to a dependency on continuous stimulation. Mental fasting helps regain control over your thoughts and emotions, fostering internal peace rather than relying on external inputs.
Imagine a day where you limit screen time, avoid unnecessary conversations, and focus on mindfulness and being present. This practice can break the cycle of dependency on constant stimulation, allowing your mind to rest and reset. At the Center for Integrative Care, we incorporate these principles to support mental and emotional resilience.
Start by setting aside specific times each day for mental fasting. Use this time for activities that promote inner peace, such as meditation or deep breathing exercises. By practicing mental fasting, you create space for clarity, self-awareness, and emotional resilience, ultimately achieving a balanced and fulfilling life.
At the Center for Integrative Care, we integrate mental fasting principles into our holistic approach to health. Call us at (619) 287-4005 for personalized support on your health journey.

Battling depression can feel like an uphill struggle, but there’s hope beyond traditional pharmaceutical treatments. In this insightful video, we delve into a drug-free alternative that’s gaining traction within the medical community: biomedical acupuncture. Acupuncture, renowned for its ability to regulate the body’s neurochemical balance, offers a promising solution for those seeking relief from depression.
Discover how biomedical acupuncture stimulates the brain to release endogenous opioids and serotonin, the key hormone associated with happiness and well-being. This natural boost in mood is achieved without the use of pharmaceutical drugs, providing a safe and effective treatment option for those struggling with feelings of depression. Our clinic has observed firsthand the transformative power of acupuncture, often humorously noting the visible change in our patients’ demeanor from when they arrive to when they leave – a testament to the profound impact of this ancient practice.
Understanding the critical role of serotonin, we also explore how acupuncture is complemented by dietary, herbal, and nutritional therapies to enhance serotonin levels. Whether it’s addressing blood sugar imbalances that affect serotonin delivery or focusing on gut health to maximize serotonin production, our integrative approach aims to tackle depression from multiple angles.
