Meet Dr. Andrea Carter Best
For 30 years, I have been helping individuals and organizations understand one of the most important questions in modern health:
How do we create lives that support a healthy brain, a resilient nervous system, emotional wellbeing and lasting vitality?
Long before integrative medicine, nutritional psychiatry and brain optimization became part of mainstream conversation, I was combining psychiatry, nutrition, mindfulness and whole-person medicine into an approach designed to help people thrive—not simply manage symptoms.
Today, through keynote speaking, immersive workshops and transformational retreats, I help individuals, healthcare professionals and organizations optimize the way they think, feel, perform and live.

The B.A.G. Method™
The Brain–Adrenals–Gut (B.A.G.) Method™ is my signature framework for understanding the interconnected systems that influence emotional wellbeing, stress resilience, cognitive performance and long-term health.
This physician-developed approach integrates neuroscience, psychiatry, nutrition, lifestyle medicine and mindfulness to create sustainable transformation.
A Different Way to Think About Wellness
True wellness is not achieved through a single intervention.
It is created through the thoughtful integration of science, nutrition, movement, mindfulness, meaningful relationships, restorative environments and intentional living.
My work has been shaped by more than three decades in medicine, as well as years spent studying wellness practices, retreat centers and healing traditions around the world.
