I found BodyLogicMD’s Dr. Jennifer Landa in Orlando, Florida after reading Suzanne Somers’ book Ageless. I started the book without having any idea what it would be about, and finished it convinced that better health was possible at any age with balanced chemistry.

When I first met with Dr. Landa, I was experiencing peri-menopausal symptoms such as insomnia, itchy skin, and weight gain. More importantly than that was the fact that I was sick every eight weeks with a cold and was really feeling run down. I couldn’t get into an exercise routine because I couldn’t stay healthy long enough and that had me feeling very frustrated. If that wasn’t enough, I also had anxiety and panic attacks that were horrible to experience. In short, I was a total wreck and didn’t know how to get better.

I did see my family physician twice and had blood work done with no real diagnosis before seeing Dr. Landa. Through blood work, a salvia test, and a long consultation, Dr. Landa figured out my problem very quickly. I am peri-menopausal, have adrenal fatigue and reactive hypoglycemia. Dr. Landa placed me on bioidentical hormones including progesterone and a few naturally compounded supplements that I have been taking since November 07. She also insisted on some other changes; no soda, minimal caffeine, a diet that is careful about glycemic index, and no Xanex for anxiety.

I have to admit that I had to make changes slowly, but one by one I did what she asked. My symptoms of peri-menopause are gone! I have only been sick once, my sleep issues are fine and I no longer have any anxiety. My energy and enthusiasm for life has come back, and I have been working out regularly since April. I have to admit that the last brick to fall for me is now really focusing on my diet and taking off the weight I want to take off.

However, now I feel good enough to do so. My last visit to Dr. Landa’s Orlando-based BodyogicMD office included more labs that confirmed through chemistry that I am getting better. I think Dr. Landa was so glad, she gave me hug. When has your doctor ever hugged you?
