About Dr. Bryan P. Walsh

Dr. Bryan P. Walsh, Naturopathic Physician

Dr. Bryan P. Walsh graduated from the University of Bridgeport College of Naturopathic Medicine.

He combines a passion for nutritional biochemistry and science-based therapies, yet maintains a broad view of wellness, believing in the infinite capacity for the body to heal itself given the appropriate conditions and environment.

He is honored and blessed to share a private practice with Dr. Julie Kniess, a fellow naturopathic physician, and together they implement a number of scientifically validated nutritional strategies to help their patients reach and attain their health goals.

Dr. Walsh is a nationally board-certified Naturopathic Physician. However, the state of Maryland does not currently license Naturopathic Physicians and as such, he does not diagnose or treat disease. Rather, he focuses on educating his patients, with the goal of supporting and strengthening their body using nutritional medicine.

About Naturopathic Physicians

A licensed naturopathic physician (ND) attends a four-year graduate level naturopathic medical school and is educated in all of the same basic sciences as an MD but also studies holistic and nontoxic approaches to therapy with a strong emphasis on disease prevention and optimizing wellness.

In addition to a standard medical curriculum, the ND is required to complete four years of training in clinical nutrition, acupuncture, homeopathic medicine, botanical medicine, psychology and counseling.

A naturopathic physician takes rigorous professional board exams so that he or she may be licensed by a state or jurisdiction as a primary care general practice physician.

Naturopathic Physicians are currently not licensed in the state of Maryland and as such, anyone can call themselves a "Naturopath" or a "Naturopathic Doctor". There is a group of practitioners in the United States who call themselves naturopaths or naturopathic physicians that do not have the formal training necessary to obtain licensure or membership in the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians (AANP). Some may be certified by organizations that sound official or similar to the AANP. Certification is not the same as licensure. These "doctors" are not regulated.

As with all health care choices, educate yourself. It is always important to check the education and professional references of your doctors.

Wellness Testing and Consultations

Discover the underlying physical and hormonal issues that limit your fitness results

Longevity Studios has partnered with Dr. Bryan P. Walsh, a Board-Certified Naturopathic Physician, to bring you a comprehensive set of wellness tests. His passion and goal is to help you achieve or restore your own personal health and wellness goals. He does that by using scientifically-based, targeted nutritional medicine, as well as with other natural modalities and perhaps most importantly, through empowerment and education.

If you’re interested in scheduling a consultation with Dr. Walsh, or would like to take advantage of one of these Wellness Packages, please contact us.

These wellness packages, combined with a Longevity Studios Assessment, provide the vital information you need to develop a plan that will allow you to achieve your health and fitness goals, and to discover your full potential.

Wellness Starter Package

Quickly assess your current state of health

When is the last time you had a health check-up? Not a disease check-up, but a health check-up. Now's the time to find out how things are running in your body before it turns into disease. The Wellness Starter Package does just that. It offers you an economical way of quickly assessing your current state of health using a comprehensive functional blood chemistry panel, which includes over 50 blood markers to provide a complete biochemical assessment of health.

The panel includes lipids, thyroid, kidney and liver panels, as well as glucose, minerals, a complete blood count, fluids, electrolytes, and Vitamin D.

We look at each system of your body, sift through the numbers and then tell you what we see in terms of health, before it turns into disease.

Wellness Starter Package + Adrenal

Evaluate the effects of stress on your body

Stress is the plague of our century and contributes to more chronic health conditions than many people realize. How much stress are you under? It may be far more than you think. Our modern lifestyle and poor dietary choices place a tremendous burden on our bodies, leading to an epidemic of adrenal gland dysfunction and chronic disease. Because of this, we’ve added the Adrenal Stress Index to the Wellness Starter Package. This test evaluates the effects stress has placed on your body and how much reserve you have left.

You may benefit from this test if you experience any of the following symptoms:

Fatigue, slow starter in the morning
Eating relieves fatigue
Irritable before meals
Shaky/lightheaded if meals are missed
GI problems - ulcers, fullness, bloating
Allergies/weak immune system
Insomnia - cannot fall asleep or stay asleep
Dizziness
Asthma
Cravings for salt, sugar, caffeine, or cigarettes
Swelling
Excessive perspiration or urination

Elite Wellness Package

Our most comprehensive health assessment

Give yourself one of the most extensive health assessments available. All aspects of your wellness profile are explored through comprehensive in-office testing and extensive laboratory evaluations including the Comprehensive Blood Chemistry Screen, Adrenal Stress Index, Food Allergy Panel, Hormone Panel, and the GI Effects test. You’ll be given practical strategies that incorporate nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle modifications to help you achieve your wellness goals.

Cardiac Risk Assessment

Gets right to the heart of the matter

Everyone wants to know their cholesterol levels, yet over half the people who have a heart attack or stroke have normal cholesterol levels. There are far more effective markers for evaluating the risk of heart disease, including:

Fibrinogen
Homocysteine
hsCRP
Insulin
Testosterone
Cholesterol (HDL, LDL)
CoQ10
Fatty Acid Profile

Our Cardiac Risk Assessment evaluates over 19 established risk factors.

Male Hormone Panel

Fight age-related hormonal issues

Andropause is a very real condition affecting thousands of men with symptoms including diminished libido, erectile dysfunction, increased body fat, decreased muscle mass and strength, male pattern balding, prostate issues, insomnia, depression, irritability and loss of zest for life. Andropause is much more than merely the loss of testosterone. It has to do with balance of a number of important hormones, including estrogen, DHT, androstenedione, DHEA, progesterone and testosterone.

Female Hormone Panel

Many physical and emotional issues may be due to hormonal issues

Female hormonal issues are more prevalent than ever. With the combination of stress, environmental chemicals and today’s modern lifestyle, many women are suffering from a variety of hormonally-related symptoms including menstrual dysfunction, emotional fragility, mood swings, anxiety, panic attacks, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), hot flashes, night sweats, bloating, excessive weight gain or weight loss, excessively high or low energy, chronic digestive upset, migraine headaches, repeated miscarriage, and infertility.

It's for this reason that we use comprehensive hormonal panels in evaluating female hormones. Doing so enables us to obtain a wide variety of information about a woman’s individual profile and customize your options following the test.
