Celebrating 25 years of wellness travel. Why the five trips to Costa Rica? My first trip to Costa Rica was life changing. I returned and changed my way of practicing medicine, parenting, loving, and Being. I decided then that I wanted to create life changing experiences for others as well.

You’re not lazy — your adrenal system might just be maxed out.
When your body’s been under stress for too long, it can impact your energy, focus, and motivation.

That’s where my BAG System comes in: designed to support your system and help you feel like yourself again.

✨ Adrenal support isn’t optional — it’s essential.

One of the hardest lessons I’ve learned as a holistic psychiatrist and integrative physician is this: healing is a quiet revolution happening beneath the surface.

Before you notice it in your energy, mood, or focus, your body is already shifting—cell by cell, system by system. It’s invisible work, the kind that tests patience and trust.

That’s why real health isn’t about quick wins; it’s about honoring those unseen shifts with steady, compassionate consistency. Because that’s where true transformation takes root.

Keep trusting the process. Your body knows exactly what it’s doing.

You’ve probably heard the term “holistic treatment” before — but what does it actually mean?

For me, it’s not just a buzzword. It’s how I live, how I practice, and how I help people heal. It means we don’t separate your anxiety from your story, your fatigue from your relationships, or your symptoms from your spirit.

We look at everything — gently, without judgment — and we go deeper than surface-level solutions.

If you’ve ever felt like there had to be more to healing than just a diagnosis and a prescription... you're right. Let’s explore what real, integrated care can look like — together.

Today is the perfect day to embrace who you are and celebrate your work towards wellness! Selfie Day isn’t just about capturing a moment; it’s an opportunity to reflect on your progress and share your unique self with the world.

As you prepare to take your selfie, appreciate the beautiful person you are. Remember, wellness encompasses not just physical appearance but also mental and emotional well-being. When you feel good inside, it radiates outward. Let your selfie reflect not only your outer beauty but also the vibrant energy that resides within you.

This Selfie Day, let’s celebrate our unique journeys! Share your favorite wellness moment—a yoga session, a nutritious meal, or a day spent in nature. By sharing your story, you inspire others to prioritize their well-being. Together, we can create a supportive community where everyone feels empowered.

Show the world you are on a journey of growth, health, and happiness. Tag us and encourage your friends to join the celebration. Let’s uplift each other and create a ripple effect of inspiration!

Over the past 25+ years—whether I’ve been consulting with patients, or leading retreats across the world—I’ve seen the same truth play out: you don’t need a drastic overhaul to heal.

Lasting transformation comes from consistent, personalized changes that honor the complexity of your brain, body, and spirit.

As a holistic psychiatrist and integrative medicine physician, I’ve built my life’s work on helping people shift step by step—supporting the BAG system (Brain-Adrenal-Gut), restoring energy, and reconnecting to clarity and joy.

Small shifts. Big results. That’s the path.

Hi, I’m Dr. Andrea Best — and I want to tell you a little more about myself.

I believe real healing happens when we care for all of you: your mind, your body, your spirit, and your story.

I’m not here to “fix” you. I’m here to walk with you, ask the right questions, and help you remember who you were before the world told you who to be.

Swipe through to learn more about what holistic treatment really means to me — and maybe, what it could mean for you, too.

Digestion isn’t just about what you eat—it’s about what your body can actually absorb and use.

You could be eating all the right things, but if your gut is inflamed, your microbiome is off, or if your stress is sky-high, your body won’t absorb nutrients efficiently—and that impacts everything from your mood to your focus to your immune system.

As a holistic psychiatrist and integrative medicine physician, I always say: healing begins in the gut.

Let’s get it functioning the way it was designed to!

That “Wait… was I just tired for 10 years straight?” moment when you start nourishing your body right—based on your actual needs—not only does your energy come back, you come back.

This is why personalized nutrition is part of every healing plan I create as a holistic psychiatrist and food scientist.

Food is medicine. Energy is your birthright.

05/23/2025

After decades of working as a holistic psychiatrist and nutritionist to high-performing executives, elite athletes, and creatives, I’ve seen how burnout often hides behind success.

They arrive driven—but depleted. Sharp—but unfocused. Achieving—but disconnected. And they’re often told to just push through.

But peak performance doesn’t come from grinding harder. It comes from personalized care that addresses the whole person—mind, brain, body, and spirit.

As a holistic physician, I don’t offer quick fixes. I help uncover root causes: disrupted BAG (Brain-Adrenal-Gut) systems, hormone imbalances, unresolved trauma, and nervous system fatigue.

There’s no universal formula for health.

I’ve learned over the years that true transformation happens when we stop treating symptoms—and start treating people.

05/22/2025

There’s something deeply powerful about being truly seen and heard — not just as a patient, but as a whole person. 🌿

That’s why I believe 1-on-1 guidance is essential in real healing. In a world of quick fixes and generic advice, having someone walk beside you, listen to your story, and personalize your path makes all the difference.

It’s not just about treating symptoms — it’s about uncovering why they’re there and helping you feel safe, supported, and empowered every step of the way.

Your health journey is unique. Your care should be too.
