Silvana - Hormone Balancing and Nutritional Supplementation
When Silvana (46) lost her husband to colon cancer at 40, she realized how important it would be to remain healthy and active to be able to care for her two small children. Consultation with an Age Management physician reveled that a borderline low functioning thyroid and hormonal imbalances were the principal reasons she often felt moody, bloated, and fatigued. Balancing her hormones with bioidentical hormones, in addition to thyroid hormones, nutritional supplementation, a diet specific to her needs, and an exercise program have helped her feel great. “I’m not just surviving, I’m thriving”, she says. Here’s her story as she tells it:
Silvana
“For my fortieth birthday I wanted to give myself a gift. I lost my husband in his early forties to colon cancer and I was left behind with two small children. I just really needed to find something to help me prevent aging, rather than fix it.
I came upon Dr. Erika and her team. With a series of extensive blood work we found out that my thyroid needed tweaking and some of my hormones needed tweaking, combined with the right supplements, diet, and exercise.
It’s just a way of life, a way of feeling great and not feeling lethargic or moody or bloated every time of the month, of really feeling good and centered. Now I can deal with my children. I can deal with everyday life. I’m in a wonderful relationship. I’m not just surviving, I’m really thriving.”
