Updated personal bio: --- Hi, I'm Tyler. I'm a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, and I live in Utah with my wife and kids. I got into psychiatry because I kept seeing people who were doing everything right and still not feeling better. That's what pulled me toward root-cause medicine: the gut-brain connection, nutrition, hormones and inflammation, alongside traditional psychiatric care. I split my time between inpatient psychiatry and my own telehealth practice, Affordable Psych. Outside of work you'll usually find me rock climbing, hiking, backpacking or camping. Everything in this store is something I use and recommend to my own patients.
