Affordable Psych
Mental health starts beneath the surface.
Welcome! I’m Tyler Patten, PMHNP-BC, founder of Affordable Psych. Everything here is something I use with my own patients to look at the root causes behind how you feel, like nutrient gaps, thyroid and hormone balance, inflammation, and gut health. Order labs from home, then bring your results to your next visit, or reach out at affordablepsych.org if you’d like help making sense of them.

Featured public protocols
Affordable Psych's general recommendations, available to anyone who visits this store.
Mood Support


Nutrient support for serotonin and dopamine, the brain chemicals behind mood, motivation and focus. Seroplus contains 5-HTP and DopaPlus contains L-tyrosine and mucuna. IMPORTANT: Do not take this protocol without talking to your prescriber first if you take an antidepressant (SSRI, SNRI, MAOI or trazodone), lithium, triptans, Parkinson's medication or other psychiatric medication, have bipolar disorder, or are pregnant or breastfeeding. Combining these can cause serious reactions.
Metabolic Health Support



For lipid, blood sugar (A1c) or metabolic concerns on your labs. Omega-3s support healthy triglycerides, berberine supports healthy blood sugar and cholesterol, and magnesium supports insulin sensitivity. Berberine can interact with some medications, so talk with your provider before starting if you take diabetes medication, a blood thinner, or other prescriptions, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Inflammation Support


For elevated hs-CRP or other signs of inflammation on your labs. Research links ongoing inflammation to low mood and brain fog. ProOmega 2000 provides concentrated EPA and DHA omega-3s, and CurcumaSorb is a highly absorbable curcumin from turmeric. Together they support a healthy inflammatory response. If you take a blood thinner or have gallbladder problems, talk with your provider before starting.
Thyroid Antibody Support

For elevated thyroid antibodies (TPO or thyroglobulin) on your thyroid labs. Selenium supports healthy thyroid function and has been studied for lowering TPO antibodies. Stick to the labeled dose, since more selenium isn't better. Recheck your thyroid labs in about 3 months, and let your provider know if you take thyroid medication.
Zinc Support

For low plasma zinc on your labs. Zinc supports mood, immune function, skin and hormone health. Take with food to avoid an upset stomach. Long-term zinc can lower copper, so recheck zinc and copper together in about 3 months.
Magnesium Support

For low RBC magnesium on your labs. Magnesium glycinate is a gentle, well-absorbed form that supports calm, sleep, muscle relaxation and a healthy stress response. Many people find it helpful in the evening. If you have kidney disease, talk with your provider before starting.
Tyler Patten
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.
