Amen Clinics vs Integrative You
An honest side-by-side. Where Amen Clinics genuinely wins, we say so. Where Integrative You fits differently, here's how — and who each is actually built for.
Amen Clinics built its practice around SPECT brain imaging as a diagnostic input for psychiatric and cognitive concerns. If you or a family member are dealing with TBI, ADHD, memory decline, or mood dysregulation and want imaging in the workup, Amen is one of the few clinics offering it at scale.
Integrative You approaches the same symptoms from the other direction — mold, Lyme, gut, hormones, and heavy-metal load frequently drive what looks like a psychiatric picture. We treat the drivers; the brain symptoms often follow. Neither approach is wrong. They answer different questions.
Where Amen Clinics genuinely wins
- SPECT imaging is a real diagnostic tool most integrative practices don't offer.
- Established playbook for TBI, ADHD, and cognitive-decline workups.
- Multi-city physical clinics if you want in-person care.
- Deep experience in child and adolescent evaluations.
Where Integrative You fits differently
- Root-cause workup — mold, mycotoxins, Lyme, heavy metals, gut permeability, hormones — before we conclude the brain is the primary driver.
- Integrated protocols spanning nervous system regulation, drainage, and detox — not medication-first.
- Foundation entry price is a fraction of an Amen initial evaluation.
- Klinghardt 5-Levels framing that treats emotional and ancestral load as clinical inputs.
- Family tier that keeps parents and children in one clinical framework.
