Most GLP-1 conversations focus on weight loss results. But at Koru Wellness, we prescribe it because of what it does in the brain — quieting food noise, modulating dopamine reward signals, and creating space for real mental health healing. Here's the science behind why a mental health clinic prescribes GLP-1.

We now offer genomic testing at Koru Wellness — a simple cheek swab that shows us how your unique DNA affects the way you process medications. No more guessing.

If you’ve been feeling worn down, foggy, or like your energy just isn’t what it used to be, you’re not alone. A lot of us push through long days, heavy responsibility, and chronic stress. Over time, that load adds up. Sleep doesn’t fully reset you. Weekends don’t fully recharge you. NAD may be one way to support your system at a deeper level. What Is NAD? NAD stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. It is a coenzyme present in every living cell, and it plays a central ro

At the ASKP3 Conference, one message was clear: ketamine is powerful, but it works best as part of a larger, integrated approach. Much of the conversation focused on glutamate, a key brain messenger involved in mood, learning, and resilience. Ketamine can briefly reset unhealthy patterns, but lasting change happens when it is paired with therapy and supported by attention to the body. Sustainable mental health care requires more than symptom relief. It requires integration.

Relationships can be challenging. Over time, couples may find themselves feeling disconnected, stuck in repetitive conflicts, or emotionally distant.

Considering ketamine-assisted therapy? Here's a grounded look at what your journey with Koru Wellness looks like, from your first consult to ongoing support.

There’s a study that helps explain why many of us get stuck in relationships or patterns that don’t feel good but still feel familiar. Researchers exposed baby rats to the smell of peppermint, followed by a mild electric shock. As expected, the rats started to avoid the peppermint. But here’s where it gets interesting: If the mother rat was present during the peppermint-shock combo, the baby rats didn’t avoid the smell. They actually preferred it. Even though it came with pai

Ever felt like your body is out of rhythm? Whether it’s stress, fatigue, brain fog, or that vague “off” feeling you can’t explain—your body is trying to tell you something. At Koru Wellness, we’ve introduced foot zoning therapy to help you tune back in and find your footing again. But what exactly is foot zoning? What Is Foot Zoning Therapy? Foot zoning is a holistic modality rooted in the idea that your entire body is mapped out on your feet. Similar to reflexology, this tec

Father’s Day brings a lot of things—cookouts, cards, maybe a few gifts. But if we’re honest, it can also bring a quiet pressure. The pressure to be strong. To keep it together. To provide, protect, and perform—even when you’re running on empty. Most men aren’t walking around saying, “I’m depressed.”They’re saying things like: “I’m just tired.” “I’ve got too much going on.” “I’m fine.” Here’s the thing: You don’t need to hit rock bottom before you take care of yourself. You do

June is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month, and the numbers tell a clear story: men are struggling—but many aren’t reaching out. And the truth is, that silence doesn’t mean strength. It just means isolation. This guide is for the men who’ve been white-knuckling it through the stress, burnout, anxiety, and anger. It’s also for the women who love them and want to help. And for those living in Utah, where culture, expectations, and accessibility all play unique roles in how men

Let’s be honest—most therapy marketing wasn’t built with men in mind. It talks about “inner child healing,” “emotional processing,” and “holding space.” That’s all real and important, but for many men, it just doesn’t land. Here’s what we see when men come through our doors: They want less pressure in their chest.They want the racing thoughts to slow down.They want to sleep through the night.They want to stop feeling angry all the time—and not know why.They want to stop snapp

Have you ever felt like no matter how hard you try to heal, grow, or connect with others, something keeps pulling you back into old patterns? It’s not your fault. In fact, it’s how the adult brain naturally works. As we grow older, our brains lose a degree of flexibility — a phenomenon scientists call the closing of "critical periods" for learning. But new research is showing something incredibly hopeful: certain therapies, like ketamine-assisted therapy, may help reopen the

When people hear the word ketamine, their first reaction is often hesitation—or confusion. Isn’t that… a party drug? Or anesthesia? Isn’t it addictive? Isn’t it dangerous? We get it. The stigma is real. But here’s the truth: ketamine, when used intentionally and therapeutically, is one of the most promising treatments we have for depression, anxiety, trauma, and other mental health conditions—especially when other therapies have fallen short. At Koru Wellness, we believe in t
