1 in 4 American women is taking medication for mental health problems. Today we have a mismatch of our paleolithic genes and modern lifestyle. Depression is not a disease. You can not diagnose a mood disorder as you can with diabetes in a blood assessment or hypertension with a blood pressure reading.
We are finding that mood disorders are not brain problems but can be triggered by food intolerances, blood sugar imbalances, chemical exposures, thyroid dysfunction, and nutrient deficiency along with gut infections.
Anxiety is the most common mood disorder and affects over 40 million adults in the US or 18% of the population. That’s nearly 1 in every 5 people is experiencing anxiety. This is a modern phenomenon.
Depression is the leading cause of disability affecting over 15 million adults and is more prevalent in women. 80% of those with clinical depression receive no intervention. This is a real problem since depression is very treatable.
Balance Your Moods
Find the root cause of your mood swings and build holistic lifestyle elements to balance your mood.
Custom Plan
We’ll help build you a custom plan to help balance your moods with a holistic lifestyle approach.
Holistic Approach
Avoid unnecessary medications that only treat the symptoms. Get to the root cause of your mood imbalances.
If you have a mood disorder, your general emotional state or mood is distorted or inconsistent with your circumstances and interferes with your ability to function. You may be extremely sad, empty or irritable (depressed), or you may have periods of depression alternating with being excessively happy (mania).
Anxiety disorders can also affect your mood and often occur along with depression.
The most powerful tools for healing include the ability to send the body signals of safety through meditation, diet, movement, restorative sleep and social support. Obtain adequate sunlight exposure, avoiding toxic chemicals and certain OTC and RX meds. Evaluating hypothyroidism as an overlooked cause for depression, nutrient status, gut infections, and HPA-Axis dysregulation will help in assessing the root cause.

I had a really positive experience at Wellness One in Hickory. Dr. Charlie is thorough, easy to talk to, and makes the whole process comfortable. Definitely recommend!
After not being able to schedule an appt for 1 mo. due to work schedule and previous appointments, I went back and found what was missing, regular checkups are needed.
This office alleviates my pain... Everytime. I walk out feeling refreshed without that nagging neck pain from weeks before!! It's freeing. I will continue with Wellness One and their very friendly, personable staff! I love them!
Always efficient and respectful of your time, this team is excellent at what they do. I walk in so stiff with lower back pain and within minutes feel it all softening. So thankful for the relief that they provide.
Thank you for customer appreciation day! I have not been coming recently and really needed to get back in. Will be starting back with regular visits again. You all are amazing!
Was recommended by my wife, came in and after a quick adjustment they had me feeling way better than when I walked in. Friendly, professional 5/5 highly recommend
Such great care! Started feeling so much better after starting to see Dr. Grey. They also have what is arguably the best office staff ever. Always on top of it and taking care of everybody. Couldn't recommend them more!
I am so very thankful that Dr Gray has an office in Hickory. After exhausting what the medical profession could do for me I called Dr Grays office. After explaining my concerns he was confident that he could help my condition. After understanding that healing is a process & will take some time, treatment was started. The knowledge and expertise and care of Dr. Gray is phenomenal. The staff is always welcoming with a warm smile and I hello by your personal name which just makes you feel cared for and comfortable. My ongoing treatment has helped me regain a more normal day to day routine. I couldn't be happier and would most definitely recommend Dr Gray & his staff.
Taken right on schedule, and given a full update on the cost of my treatment plan. Given many options under that treatment plan and I selected what I could afford. Much different treatment plan than I was receiving it another chiropractor's office. More inclusive specialized care.
I have been coming to this place for a few years now. I will never regret my decision to come in for a visit. I was developing sciatic pain, and the pain was unbearable especially at work. Dr. Gray and the ladies have helped with the recovery. I was able to go from 3 visits a week, to one visit every 3 weeks. The staff are really friendly and will remember your name.
I’m grateful to Dr Gray and Dr Yoder who are very supportive and helpful in my recovery from neck, shoulder and back pain that was debilitating. Their professional expertise and experience has been greatly appreciated and I’m impressed with the doctors and their staff. They work together as a team and I’m so happy and thankful to all of them in helping me in my remarkable journey towards recovery. Thank you to all the doctors and staff at Wellness One.
Very friendly, staff is efficient, Dr’s are caring. I have had definite improvement with my neck and shoulder discomfort. Highly recommend Dr. Grey, Dr. Yoder and their staff.
Clean and well kept facility with a comfortable open waiting area. I have to say the care I received is top of the class. Each time I walk in the door I’m greeted immediately with a happy and sincere welcome. I hardly ever have to wait. The doctors take their time to explain why they are doing what they do. They are positive and knowledgeable. I highly recommend.
From the moment I walked in the staff was professional and very friendly. Dr. Gray took extra attention to my issues and discussed a plan right for me. I am very pleased with all the services I have received so far. I highly recommend Wellness One.
Great experience. Dr. Gray is very knowledgeable and seeks to ensure the best health capacity for his patients and anyone who chooses to become a patient of his.
Amazing staff who are all so sweet and welcoming. The doctor explains everything step by step and really makes you feel comfortable throughout the process. Highly recommend!
Other experiences with a chiropractor were not good. I didn’t go back for years. I decided to give Wellness One a try and so far I am thrilled. Professional staff. Timely appointment. And I feel better already! I can’t wait to see how my health progresses!
