Walsh Practitioner
Dr. Pautz is a certified Walsh Practitioner. The Walsh approach has been one of the most remarkable and meaningful discoveries of her medical career.
Dr. William Walsh, PhD, of the Walsh Research Institute, has spent over 30 years studying the biochemical foundations of mental health, working with more than 30,000 patients. His research explores how specific nutrient imbalances—such as in copper, zinc, and methylation status—can influence mood, behavior, and emotional well-being.
Through a careful combination of patient history (“biotyping”) and targeted laboratory testing, the Walsh Method seeks to restore balance to these biochemical systems in conjunction with clinical assessment. This individualized approach can provide a foundation for improving a range of conditions, including:
- Anxiety, depression, and panic attacks
- ADHD and behavioral challenges in children and adults
- Violent behaviour in children
- Oppositional Defiant Disorder
- Bipolar disorder & schizophrenia
- Postpartum depression, anxiety, panic attacks & psychosis
- PTSD and emotional dysregulation
- Early cognitive or memory concerns
Preliminary research also suggests that patients with Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, autism spectrum disorder, or other neurodegenerative illnesses such as ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) and multiple sclerosis may experience benefit from this protocol.
Dr. Walsh’s work has even extended to correctional institutions, where he has helped demonstrate that biochemical balancing can play a role in reducing violent behavior—a reminder of how biology, behavior, and compassion are deeply connected.
While not every patient experiences dramatic changes, many notice meaningful improvements over time. For some, these shifts appear within days or weeks; for others, they may unfold more gradually over several months.
In Dr. Pautz’s clinical experience, this method has brought positive changes in both emotional and physical well-being. For example, adults have reported renewed clarity, calm, and balance after long periods of distress. Teenagers have experienced reduced anxiety and improved focus. Even young children, once prone to outbursts, have found greater emotional steadiness once their underlying biochemical needs were addressed.
These are gentle, individualized interventions designed to support each person’s unique biochemistry—and to help the mind and body move toward greater harmony.
Some patient examples: “My husband said he finally has the woman back he knew from 2 years ago.” 79 year old patient. ADHD and anxiety profoundly improved on Walsh protocol 2 weeks into starting protocol and continues to be much improved 6 months after intervention started. 17 year old patient.
Temper tantrums in a 5 year old diagnosed with autism, significantly improved a couple weeks into stopping the wrong supplement. Reexacerbation of the temper tantrums with accidentally giving him the same supplements again. In my personal experience (this is NOT in the Walsh training): this protocol may improve some of the physical medical issues in some individuals.
