Targeted Nutritional Support for Whole-Person Wellness
The body works as an interconnected system. Gut health, brain function, cellular energy, sleep, stress, nutrition, and nervous system regulation can all influence how we feel and function.
As part of Functional Wellness Coaching at Serenity Wellness and Counseling Center, Bryan Bankhead may incorporate professional-grade nutritional supplements alongside nutrition, lifestyle changes, functional testing, sleep support, movement, and other wellness strategies.
Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, Bryan considers your individual needs, current concerns, lifestyle, and wellness goals when discussing nutritional support.

A Closer Look at Some of Bryan’s Most Frequently Used Formulas
There are many nutritional supplements available, but more is not always better.
The products below are some of the Researched Nutritionals formulas Bryan uses and discusses most frequently with coaching clients. Depending on the individual, they may be used on their own or as part of a broader wellness strategy.
Physical and mental wellness are closely connected. Energy production, sleep, digestion, the microbiome, cognitive function, stress physiology, and nervous system regulation can all influence how we feel mentally and emotionally.
The sections below explain how supporting these underlying systems may contribute to overall mental wellness. These supplements are not intended to diagnose or treat anxiety, depression, PTSD, or any other mental health condition.
Three Formulas. One Connected System.
The Vagal Nerve Vitality Bundle brings together three formulas designed to support the connection between the gut, brain, mitochondria, and nervous system. By supporting cellular energy, brain health and neuroplasticity, gut barrier health, and healthy vagal signaling, it may help promote better energy, clearer thinking, digestive wellness, stress resilience, and a more balanced nervous system response.
This makes the bundle especially useful to explore when several of these areas appear interconnected and the goal is to support the body more comprehensively rather than focusing on only one system at a time.
ATP 360®
Supports mitochondrial function, cellular energy, and mitochondrial membrane health.
BDNF Essentials®
Supports cognitive function, neuroplasticity, brain health, and healthy nervous system signaling.
RenewGut Thrive™
Supports gut barrier integrity, microbiome balance, metabolic health, and the gut-brain-immune connection.
Mental wellness depends on more than what happens in the brain alone. Supporting energy production, cognitive function, gut-brain communication, and healthy nervous system signaling may contribute to mental clarity, everyday stress resilience, healthy mood, and a greater sense of overall balance and well-being.
Mitochondrial & Cellular Energy Support
ATP 360® takes a comprehensive approach to supporting the mitochondria—the structures within our cells responsible for producing much of the energy the body needs to function. It supports mitochondrial membranes and cellular energy production, which can play a role in physical energy, mental stamina, recovery, sleep quality, and overall vitality.
The brain requires significant energy to function well. Supporting healthy cellular energy production may help support mental energy, concentration, cognitive performance, resilience, and the ability to feel more mentally engaged throughout the day.
Brain Health, Cognition & Neuroplasticity
BDNF Essentials® is designed to support neurological health, cognitive function, and neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to adapt and form new connections. Its combination of targeted nutrients, herbs, and mushrooms supports areas such as memory, attention, mental clarity, cognitive processing, and long-term brain health.
Healthy cognitive function can influence how we navigate stress, process information, stay focused, and engage with daily life. Supporting neuroplasticity and brain health may contribute to clearer thinking, cognitive resilience, healthy mood, and overall mental well-being.
Stress, Mood & the Gut-Brain Connection
AnxiaEase™ takes a multifaceted approach to stress support by combining adaptogenic herbs, calming botanicals, targeted nutrients, and specific probiotic strains that support the gut-brain connection. Rather than focusing on only one pathway, the formula is designed to support the body’s healthy physiological response to stress while promoting relaxation and emotional wellness.
When the body’s stress response stays activated, it can affect mood, sleep, concentration, digestion, and how resilient we feel emotionally. Supporting a healthy stress response, relaxation, and gut-brain communication may help promote a calmer state of mind, healthy mood, and greater everyday stress resilience.
Foundational Gut & Digestive Support
RenewGut™ focuses on nourishing the intestinal environment, supporting the gut lining and mucin layer, and creating healthier conditions for the microbiome. Because gut health can influence digestion, nutrient absorption, immune function, energy, and communication between the gut and brain, it can be an important foundational area of whole-person wellness.
The gut and brain communicate continuously through what is commonly called the gut-brain axis. Supporting a healthy intestinal environment and digestive function may help provide a stronger foundation for healthy gut-brain communication, stress resilience, energy, and overall emotional well-being.
Microbiome & Probiotic Support
CoreBiotic® combines three spore-based probiotic strains with a prebiotic to support a healthy and balanced intestinal microbiome. These hardy probiotic strains are designed to withstand the digestive environment and help support microbial balance, digestive health, and the broader gut ecosystem.
The microbiome is one part of the larger gut-brain communication system. Supporting a healthy microbial environment may contribute to the biological foundations involved in stress response, mood regulation, cognitive wellness, and overall mental well-being.
CoreBiotic® is intended to support microbiome and digestive health and should not be viewed as a treatment for a mental health condition.
Supporting the Bigger Wellness Picture During GLP-1 Use
GLP-1 medications can significantly change appetite, food intake, digestion, bowel patterns, and the amount of nutrition someone is able to comfortably consume.
While these medications are managed by the prescribing medical provider, Bryan can help clients look at the larger wellness picture and identify areas that may need additional attention during the process.
These may include:
The Vagal Nerve Vitality Bundle is not a “GLP-1 supplement,” and it is not intended to prevent or treat medication side effects.
However, several of the systems it supports can become especially important areas to pay attention to when appetite, digestion, food intake, and overall energy are changing.
RenewGut Thrive™ supports the gut lining, microbiome balance, digestive environment, and metabolic health.
ATP 360® supports mitochondrial function and cellular energy, which can be relevant when supporting energy, mental stamina, recovery, and overall vitality.
BDNF Essentials® supports cognitive function, neuroplasticity, brain health, and healthy vagal signaling.
Together, they provide support across the gut–brain–mitochondria–vagus connection, allowing Bryan to look at several foundational systems together rather than simply adding an isolated supplement for one concern.
Whether the bundle—or any supplement—is appropriate depends on the individual. It is not necessary or appropriate for every person using a GLP-1 medication.

Why the Quality of a Supplement Matters
Not all nutritional supplements are created the same.
When Bryan incorporates supplementation into a wellness plan, he wants to feel confident not only in what ingredients are included, but also in the research, formulation, sourcing, testing, and quality standards behind the product.
This is one of the reasons we choose to work with Researched Nutritionals.
Research Matters
Researched Nutritionals places a strong emphasis on science and research in the development of its formulas. Several of the company’s finished formulations have also been evaluated through peer-reviewed, published human clinical research.
This gives Bryan another layer of information to consider when evaluating which products may fit into a larger individualized wellness plan.
Knowing What’s Actually in the Product Matters
Supplement quality goes beyond what appears on the front of the bottle.
Researched Nutritionals emphasizes ingredient sourcing and quality assurance throughout the manufacturing process. Product lots undergo testing, and lot-specific Certificates of Analysis are available to provide greater transparency about product quality.
It’s About the Formula — Not Just One Ingredient
Bryan’s approach to wellness is rarely about identifying one isolated issue.
Many Researched Nutritionals formulas combine multiple ingredients selected to support related biological pathways and systems. This systems-based approach aligns with Bryan’s philosophy of looking at how areas such as the gut, brain, mitochondria, nervous system, nutrition, sleep, movement, and lifestyle may influence one another.
Guidance Matters Too
Having access to hundreds of supplements does not necessarily make it easier to know what your body needs.
Researched Nutritionals products are practitioner-directed rather than being offered as unrestricted direct-to-consumer supplements. Patients ordering directly through Researched Nutritionals require practitioner authorization.
We appreciate this model because it encourages people to look beyond simply matching a supplement to a symptom.
Professional guidance can help you better understand why a particular product is being considered, how it fits into the larger wellness picture, and whether other foundational areas should be addressed alongside supplementation.
Supplements Are One Piece of the Wellness Picture
Bryan’s Functional Wellness Coaching is not centered around simply adding more supplements.
His approach looks at the relationship between areas such as:
Sometimes supplementation may be helpful.
Sometimes another area needs attention first.
The goal is to understand the bigger picture and create a wellness plan that makes sense for the individual.
Finding a supplement online is easy.
Knowing whether that supplement actually makes sense for you is different.
Your medications, current supplements, nutrition, health history, digestive health, lifestyle, and wellness goals can all influence which nutritional strategies may or may not be appropriate.
Bryan can help you look at the larger picture and determine which areas of wellness support may be worth exploring.
Researched Nutritionals products are not available as unrestricted direct-to-consumer purchases through the Serenity Wellness website.
Researched Nutritionals sells its products through healthcare professionals, and patients purchasing directly through Researched Nutritionals require practitioner authorization.
If you are interested in a product featured on this page, book a consultation with Bryan or speak with another qualified healthcare provider to determine whether the product may be appropriate for you and to receive ordering information.
Researched Nutritionals products are practitioner-directed. Bryan can meet with you to better understand your wellness goals, discuss whether supplementation may be appropriate, and provide ordering information when indicated.
Functional Wellness Coaching can help you look at areas such as nutrition, gut health, energy, sleep, stress, lifestyle, and supplementation as part of a larger wellness picture. Medical diagnosis, prescription medication management, and treatment decisions remain with the appropriate licensed healthcare provider.
Nutrition, cellular energy, sleep, digestive health, the microbiome, stress physiology, and nervous system regulation can all contribute to overall mental and emotional well-being. Nutritional supplements may support some of these underlying systems but are not substitutes for psychotherapy, psychiatric care, or medical treatment when those services are needed.
Supplements can interact with prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, and other supplements. Always discuss potential interactions with an appropriate healthcare professional or prescribing provider before beginning a new supplement.
Bryan can provide wellness-focused support around areas such as nutrition, protein intake, hydration, movement, strength, digestion, sleep, and appropriate supplementation. Your GLP-1 prescription, dosage, medical monitoring, and medication-related decisions should remain under the direction of your prescribing medical provider.
