Mental Wellness & Neuronova Program

Anxiety and Brain Fog Have a Physiology

When patients come to us with anxiety, brain fog, difficulty concentrating, or emotional volatility, we don’t assume the problem is purely psychological. In our experience, these symptoms are often deeply rooted in physiology: hormonal imbalance, nervous system dysregulation, inflammation, nutrient deficiency, or metabolic dysfunction.

That doesn’t mean the experience isn’t real. It means the solution often lives in places that traditional mental health care doesn’t look.

Dr. Bunton’s background as a Harvard-trained psychiatrist and pain medicine specialist puts Foundation Wellness in a unique position to approach mental health through a broader lens. One that includes the body, not just the mind.

The Neuronova Program

Neuronova is our integrated mental wellness program, designed for patients whose cognitive or emotional symptoms haven’t responded to conventional approaches, or for those who want to understand the root cause before defaulting to medication alone.

What Neuronova Addresses

• Anxiety and chronic stress, particularly when it’s driven by nervous system dysregulation rather than situational factors alone
• Brain fog and cognitive decline (difficulty with memory, word recall, mental stamina, or executive function)
• Mood instability, including irritability, low motivation, emotional flatness, or depressive symptoms connected to hormonal or metabolic causes
• Sleep disruption like insomnia or non-restorative sleep that perpetuates other symptoms

How It Works

We begin with evaluation. Comprehensive lab work, a detailed neuropsychiatric history, and assessment of the physiological systems most likely contributing. Hormones, thyroid function, inflammatory markers, nutrient levels, and metabolic health all enter the picture.

From there, we build a treatment plan that may include:

• Nervous system regulation techniques, evidence-based approaches to calming an overactivated stress response
• Hormonal correction, because estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, and thyroid hormones directly affect neurotransmitter function and brain health
• Targeted supplementation when lab work identifies specific deficiencies impacting cognitive or emotional function
• Coordination with other Foundation Wellness services like weight optimization, hormone therapy, and onsite recovery modalities that support nervous system health

Why Integration Matters

Mental wellness doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Look, a woman in perimenopause with plummeting estrogen may present with anxiety that looks psychiatric but is fundamentally hormonal. A man with low testosterone and insulin resistance may experience brain fog and depression that won’t respond to an SSRI alone. A patient under chronic stress may have cortisol patterns that sabotage both mood and metabolism.

At Foundation Wellness, we can evaluate and treat across these domains simultaneously. Your mental wellness care isn’t siloed. It’s woven into your complete health picture.

This Isn’t One-Size Medicine

We get it. Mental health is personal and often complicated. Our role is to bring medical rigor and genuine curiosity to the process, to look carefully at what’s driving your symptoms and to offer treatments grounded in evidence, not assumptions.

Some patients need hormonal intervention. Some need nervous system work. Some need both, plus metabolic support. We figure out what applies to you.
