Integrative Inflammation & Immunity Medicine
The Conditions We Treat
Most people who come to Health Atlas MD have been living with their symptoms for years. Some have a diagnosis. Many do not. What they share is the sense that something is driving how they feel and no one has found it yet. Our work begins with mapping the root cause of your symptoms, whether that is chronic inflammation, immune imbalance, or something in between, and building a protocol that addresses every layer of what you are experiencing. This page gives you an honest picture of the conditions and areas we work with and the depth of what that treatment actually looks like
For the Symptoms That Travel Together
Chronic Symptoms
Chronic symptoms rarely arrive alone. Brain fog comes with fatigue. Digestive issues come with mood changes. Allergies come with joint pain and restless sleep. When symptoms cluster together over months or years, it is often because they share a root cause: chronic inflammation, immune dysregulation, or both. Health Atlas MD is built for exactly this kind of complexity. We map the full picture and treat what is driving all of it.

Chronic Inflammation & Immune Imbalance
Inflammation is the body's most fundamental defense mechanism. When it becomes chronic, meaning it does not resolve the way it should, it can quietly drive a wide range of symptoms that feel unrelated: persistent fatigue, joint pain, skin reactions, digestive disruption, mood changes, and more. At Health Atlas MD, we assess the full constellation of inflammatory markers and immune activity to understand where the imbalance is originating and what it is affecting. The protocol that follows is built around what we find.
What this may include:
Full inflammatory marker testing, immune system assessment, targeted supplementation, IV micronutrient therapy, peptide protocols, and Ayurvedic and Eastern approaches integrated with allopathic medicine.
Who this is for:
People living with symptoms that have been explained as within normal range but do not feel that way. People who have been told they have inflammation but have never been given a clear plan for what to do about it.
Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS)
Mast cells are immune cells found throughout the body that respond to perceived threats by releasing chemical mediators, including histamine. When mast cells are overactivated or dysregulated, they can trigger a wide range of symptoms that seem to have no clear pattern: flushing, hives, gastrointestinal cramping, brain fog, fatigue, heart palpitations, and reactions to foods, medications, or environmental exposures. MCAS is frequently misdiagnosed or missed entirely because its symptoms overlap with so many other conditions.
Dr. Mery's fellowship training in mast cell biology at Harvard Medical School gives him a clinical foundation for evaluating, diagnosing, and treating mast cell activation that most physicians do not have. For patients who have cycled through specialists without an explanation for their constellation of symptoms, MCAS is often worth exploring.
What this may include:
Mast cell-specific testing and clinical evaluation, targeted histamine-modulating supplements (including Hista-Aid and quercetin), peptide therapy with BPC-157 and KPV, IV vitamin therapy, and anti-inflammatory protocols calibrated to your response.
Who this is for:
People experiencing unpredictable, multi-system reactions. People with chronic allergy-like symptoms that do not respond to standard antihistamine treatment. People who have been told their labs are normal despite persistent and wide-ranging symptoms.
Allergy, Asthma & Clinical Immunology
As the founder of Hill Country Allergy & Asthma, Dr. Mery has spent decades building one of the most established allergy and immunology practices in Central Texas. Health Atlas MD extends that foundation into integrative and precision care, treating allergy, asthma, and immune conditions in both adults and children with a level of clinical depth that goes beyond standard specialty practice.
Allergic conditions are immune conditions. When the immune system is dysregulated, allergies and asthma worsen. When inflammation is addressed at its root, patients often see improvement in both their allergic symptoms and in how they feel overall.
What this may include:
Allergy and asthma evaluation and management, immunotherapy, breathing treatments, targeted supplementation (including D-Hist, quercetin, bromelain, and Breathe blend), immune-modulating IV therapy, and peptide protocols including Thymosin Alpha 1.
Who this is for:
Adults and children with seasonal allergies, food sensitivities, chronic sinusitis, eczema, asthma, or complex immune conditions. Patients who want more than symptom management and are ready to understand and treat what is driving their reactivity.
Infectious Inflammation
Viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites can all trigger inflammation that does not fully resolve after the infection clears. When the immune response stays activated, or when the pathogen leaves a lasting imprint on immune function, the result is a pattern of chronic inflammation that can persist for months or years. Long COVID is the most visible example of this mechanism, but post-viral, post-bacterial, post-fungal, and post-parasitic inflammatory states share the same underlying pattern: the infection may be gone, but the immune dysregulation it left behind is still driving symptoms.
Dr. Mery's approach addresses the underlying immune dysfunction, persistent inflammation, and mitochondrial disruption directly rather than managing symptoms in isolation. Each protocol is staged and calibrated to how the body is responding, because post-infectious inflammation does not resolve on a fixed timeline.
What this may include:
Nattokinase, NAC/glutathione, curcumin, and resveratrol for anti-inflammatory and antiviral support; IV micronutrient therapy with arginine, B-complex, vitamin C, and glutamine; peptide protocols including BPC-157, KPV, MOTs-C, Thymosin Alpha 1, and exosome therapy for advanced cases.
Who this is for:
People still experiencing symptoms months or years after a viral, bacterial, fungal, or parasitic infection. People who have been told their labs are normal but continue to feel significantly impaired. People ready to move from managing symptoms to treating the immune dysfunction driving them.
Fatigue & Low Energy
Persistent fatigue that does not resolve with rest is almost always rooted in something systemic: mitochondrial dysfunction, nutrient depletion, hormonal shifts, chronic inflammation, or immune burden. Health Atlas MD evaluates fatigue as a clinical signal and builds a protocol around what the testing reveals.
What this may include:
Mitochondrial support with NAD, CoQ10, and MOTs-C; IV and IM vitamin therapy including B-complex, magnesium, carnitine, and taurine; peptide protocols with CJC 1295/Ipamorelin and Sermorelin to support growth hormone release and energy metabolism; red light therapy for mitochondrial ATP production.
Who this is for:
People experiencing chronic, medically unexplained fatigue. People whose energy levels have shifted significantly and do not return to baseline. People looking for a physician-built protocol grounded in clinical data.
Proactive Care for the Decades Ahead
Vitality & Longevity
Not everyone who comes to Health Atlas MD is sick. Many arrive because they are paying attention, tracking how they feel, and ready to be proactive about how they age. Longevity medicine is about preserving the function, clarity, and vitality that make life worth living, and starting early enough for the work to compound. Dr. Mery holds a board in anti-aging and longevity medicine in progress, and his protocols in this area are among the most clinically developed available.

Anti-Aging & Longevity Medicine
Aging is driven by several well-characterized biological processes: telomere shortening, mitochondrial decline, NAD+ depletion, cellular senescence, and chronic low-grade inflammation. Health Atlas MD's longevity protocols target these mechanisms directly, using a staged approach that begins with detailed testing and builds a plan around what your body actually needs. This is physician-built longevity care, not a biohacking supplement stack.
What this may include:
Telomere-supporting supplementation with TA-65; NAD+ and NMN for cellular energy metabolism; C15:0 fatty acids for mitochondrial repair and anti-inflammatory activity; IM and IV therapy with alpha lipoic acid, CoQ10, B-complex, and carnitine; advanced peptide protocols including Epithalon for telomere support and circadian regulation, PE-22-28 for neuroprotection, MOTs-C for mitochondrial optimization, and CJC 1295/Ipamorelin or Sermorelin for growth hormone support; exosome therapy every six months for cellular regeneration.
Who this is for:
People in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond who want to invest proactively in how they age. People whose energy, sleep, body composition, or cognitive sharpness has shifted and who want to understand why and what to do about it.
Brain Clarity, Focus & Cognitive Performance
There is a meaningful difference between treating brain fog as a symptom and optimizing cognitive performance as a goal. Many people who come to Health Atlas MD for longevity care are also interested in protecting and enhancing their mental clarity over time, particularly as they enter midlife and beyond. This work includes neuroprotection, neurogenesis support, and the kind of deep sleep that is required for cognitive repair.
What this may include:
Lion's Mane for neurogenesis and NGF stimulation; NMN for cognitive energy metabolism; magnesium threonate for memory and brain-specific magnesium uptake; Cerebropep and Semax for cognitive performance and BDNF support; DSIP for restorative sleep and hormonal regulation.
Who this is for:
People who want to protect and sustain their cognitive performance over time. People experiencing age-related cognitive shifts who want physician-guided support. People whose sleep quality is affecting their mental clarity and want to address the root cause.
Hormone Changes & Immune Resilience
Hormonal shifts, whether related to aging, stress, or immune burden, affect nearly every system in the body. Changes in growth hormone, cortisol, thyroid function, and sex hormones alter energy levels, body composition, sleep quality, immune resilience, and cognitive function. Health Atlas MD evaluates hormonal status as part of the full clinical picture and builds protocols that support hormonal balance as part of a broader longevity and immune strategy.
What this may include:
Growth hormone secretagogue therapy with CJC 1295/Ipamorelin, Sermorelin, or Tesamorelin; immune-modulating peptides including Thymosin Alpha 1 for immune system support and resilience; NAD and mitochondrial support; full lab evaluation of hormonal and immune markers.
Who this is for:
People experiencing energy, mood, body composition, or sleep changes they associate with hormonal shifts. People who want to support their immune system proactively as they age. People looking for a physician-led approach to hormonal and immune optimization that goes beyond hormone replacement.
When Your Body Needs to Come Back Stronger
Recovery & Repair
Recovery takes specific support. Whether you are healing from surgery, an injury, a period of illness, or years of accumulated physical stress, the body needs targeted help to rebuild effectively. Health Atlas MD's recovery and repair protocols are built around the biological mechanisms of tissue regeneration, inflammation resolution, and structural repair, giving your body what it actually needs to heal well.

Muscle Building & Bone Density
Sarcopenia, the age-related loss of muscle mass, begins earlier than most people realize, and bone density follows a similar trajectory. Both are modifiable with the right clinical support. Health Atlas MD works with patients who want to build and preserve lean muscle and bone mass, whether they are recovering from a period of deconditioning, managing a diagnosis of osteoporosis or osteopenia, or proactively investing in their structural health.
What this may include:
Calcium and vitamin K2 for bone mineralization; vitamin D3 and magnesium for muscle and bone function; IM and IV support with vitamin C, carnitine, and glutamine; growth hormone secretagogue peptides including IGF-1, CJC 1295/Ipamorelin, Follistatin 344, and Sermorelin; BPC-157 and TB4 for tissue repair and recovery; Cartalax for cartilage and connective tissue support.
Who this is for:
People looking to build or preserve muscle mass and bone density. People managing osteopenia, osteoporosis, or sarcopenia. People recovering from physical deconditioning, extended illness, or musculoskeletal injury.
Wound Healing & Post-Surgical Recovery
Wounds that do not heal well, surgical recoveries that plateau, or tissue repair that feels slow are often signs that the body's regenerative capacity is compromised, commonly by chronic inflammation, immune burden, or nutritional deficiencies. Health Atlas MD supports wound healing and post-surgical recovery by addressing the underlying biology directly.
What this may include:
IV and IM support with vitamin C, zinc, glutamine, and L-lysine for collagen synthesis and immune support; peptide protocols including BPC-157 for tissue and blood vessel repair, TB4 for inflammation resolution and regeneration, KPV for antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory support, and LL-37 for immune defense and wound healing; exosome therapy for complex or non-healing cases.
Who this is for:
People recovering from surgery, injury, or a wound that is not healing as expected. People with chronic skin conditions that have a wound-healing component. People who want physician-guided support for post-surgical recovery.
When How You Look Reflects How You Feel Inside
Looking & Feeling Your Best
The way you look and the way you feel move together. Skin health, hair quality, body composition, and energy levels are all downstream of what is happening biologically: inflammation, hormonal balance, nutrient availability, and cellular function. Health Atlas MD treats beauty and aesthetics from the inside out, with physician-built protocols that address the root cause of what you are seeing and feeling.

Skin Health, Acne & Aesthetic Wellness
Skin is one of the body's most visible indicators of internal health. Chronic inflammation, immune imbalance, gut dysbiosis, hormonal shifts, and oxidative stress all show up on the skin in the form of acne, dullness, accelerated aging, eczema, psoriasis, and loss of elasticity. Health Atlas MD treats skin from the inside out, combining systemic anti-inflammatory and regenerative protocols with targeted topical peptide therapy.
What this may include:
Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant foundation with glutathione, curcumin, and vitamin C; IM and IV support with biotin, B-complex, glutathione, and amino acid blends; peptide protocols including GHK-Cu for collagen and elastin production, KPV for inflammatory skin conditions and acne, BPC-157 for tissue repair, and the Glow blend (GHK-Cu, BPC-157, TB500) for full skin regeneration; exosomes for texture, tone, and advanced rejuvenation.
Who this is for:
People dealing with chronic acne, uneven skin tone, or skin conditions that have not resolved with topical treatment alone. People interested in physician-led anti-aging skin protocols. People who want to understand what is driving their skin health and treat it at the source.
Hair Loss & Hair Restoration
Hair loss, whether from hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, chronic inflammation, or stress, is a clinical issue. At Health Atlas MD, we evaluate hair loss as a systemic symptom and build a protocol around what the testing reveals. The goal is to address what is causing the loss and support the conditions for healthy regrowth.
What this may include:
Ashwagandha for stress-related hormonal support; biotin, zinc, and vitamin E for follicle nutrition; IM and IV support with B-complex, amino acid blend, proline, and glutathione; peptide protocols including GHK-Cu for hair follicle stimulation and growth, TB4 for regeneration and hair growth support, and exosome therapy for advanced hair restoration.
Who this is for:
People experiencing hair thinning or loss related to hormonal changes, stress, autoimmune activity, or nutritional deficiency. People who want a physician-built protocol for hair restoration. People whose hair health changed after illness, postpartum, or a period of sustained physiological stress.
Weight Loss & Metabolic Health
Weight that does not respond to diet and exercise alone is often a metabolic and physiological issue, rooted in how the body processes and stores fat. Insulin resistance, hormonal imbalance, chronic inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction all affect metabolic function. Health Atlas MD treats weight loss as a metabolic and physiological issue, building a protocol around what your testing reveals rather than a one-size approach.
What this may include:
Metabolic foundation support with berberine, CaloCurb, and HiPhenolic; lipotropic IV and IM therapy with carnitine, arginine, MIC, and B-complex; GLP-1 and dual GLP-1/GIP peptide therapy including Semaglutide and Tirzepatide for appetite regulation and metabolic function; growth hormone-supporting peptides including CJC 1295/Ipamorelin, Sermorelin, and AOD for fat metabolism; whole-body red light therapy as a metabolic adjunct.
Who this is for:
People whose weight has been resistant to standard interventions. People experiencing metabolic changes related to hormonal shifts or aging. People who want physician-supervised weight loss with a protocol built around what their body actually needs.
Common Questions About Treatment
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Health Atlas MD treat both adults and children?
Yes. Dr. Mery holds double board certification in internal medicine and allergy and immunology, with extensive experience treating both adults and children. Allergy, asthma, and immunology care is available for all ages.
What is mast cell activation syndrome and how is it treated?
Mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) is a condition in which mast cells, immune cells found throughout the body, release chemical mediators inappropriately or in excess. This can cause multi-system symptoms including flushing, hives, gastrointestinal cramping, brain fog, and reactions to foods or environmental exposures. Dr. Mery's fellowship training in mast cell biology at Harvard Medical School gives him specialized diagnostic and treatment expertise in this area. Treatment typically includes targeted supplementation, immune-modulating peptides, and IV therapy calibrated to each patient's response.
Do you treat Long COVID?
Yes. Long COVID is one of Health Atlas MD's core treatment areas. Dr. Mery's approach addresses the underlying immune dysfunction, persistent inflammation, and mitochondrial disruption driving Long COVID symptoms, using a staged protocol that includes anti-inflammatory supplementation, IV micronutrient therapy, and advanced peptide protocols.
What is the difference between treating brain fog and optimizing cognitive performance?
Brain fog is typically a symptom of an underlying condition, such as chronic inflammation, Long COVID, hormonal imbalance, or mitochondrial dysfunction. Cognitive optimization is a proactive goal for people whose baseline function is intact but who want to protect and enhance it over time. Health Atlas MD addresses both. Treatment protocols differ depending on whether the goal is resolution of a clinical symptom or optimization of an already-functioning system.
Is your longevity medicine program only for older adults?
No. Longevity medicine is most effective when started earlier. Many people in their 30s and 40s come to Health Atlas MD for proactive longevity support, including mitochondrial optimization, telomere support, hormonal calibration, and cognitive protection. The earlier the work begins, the more opportunity there is for protocols to compound over time.
What conditions are treated as part of your "Looking & Feeling Your Best" protocols?
This area includes skin health and acne, hair loss and restoration, weight loss and metabolic health, and overall aesthetic wellness. These are treated as internal medicine issues with external expressions, using physician-built protocols that address the root cause of what you are seeing rather than treating surface symptoms alone.
Do you treat hormone-related symptoms?
Yes, in the context of a full clinical picture. Health Atlas MD evaluates hormonal status, including growth hormone, thyroid, cortisol, and sex hormones, as part of the full assessment and builds protocols that support hormonal balance as part of a broader longevity and immune strategy.
