Dr. Alexander Welge

While studying Psychology at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, Dr Welge focused on Biological Psychology and was interested in the psychobiology of stress and coping.  He went on to study Physiology at UW-Madison, he used microbiology techniques to change the structure of potassium channels and then used electrophysiology to examine how this impacted their function and electrical currents.  Side-by-side he volunteered at Camp heartland now called One heartland, where he worked with children affected/infected with HIV/AIDS.  That experience profoundly changed the course of his life, and he experienced a spiritual awakening, and learned more about what's important in life than he ever learned in a textbook.  He decided to apply to medical school and followed that loving vibe, and well, now he's here.  Along the way, he ran a Dual Diagnosis inpatient unit and learned how to treat anxiety, ADHD and insomnia without controlled medications, and that has become his focus.  Recently he was fortunate enough to work with Dr Peter Bongiorno, a world-renowned Functional Medicine provider, with whom Dr Welge was able to see many patients and he learned the importance of the gut microbiome, gut health in general, mineral health, and mitochondrial health.  Dr Welge now provides Integrative Psychiatry, where he marries all these interests to help his patients identify and heal root causes of their symptoms and come to terms with their narrative, and hopes to help his patients live their best life.
