Physicians Place Prevention at the Top of Their Prescription Pads

BodyLogicMD bioidentical hormone doctors offer insight to new trend that focuses
on helping women and men manage the aging process – as well as the negative effec
ts of poor diet, lack of exercise, environmental toxins and hormone imbalance – th
rough prevention.
Boca Raton, FL, August 20, 2010 -- According the Senate Committee on Health, Ame
rican’s spend a staggering $2.3 trillion annually on health care and 95 percent of
every health care dollar is spent on treating illnesses and conditions after th
ey occur. “We can significantly reduce disease spending if we focus on prevention,”
says Jennifer Landa M.D., bioidentical hormone expert and Chief Medical Officer
of BodyLogicMD.
BodyLogicMD is America’s largest network of highly trained physicians who have com
pleted hundreds of hours of advanced training specifically in preventive and fun
ctional medicine. BodyLogicMD medically supervised programs are focused on lifes
tyle changes; including diet, nutritional supplements supported by medical scien
ce, fitness, stress reduction and the use of bioidentical hormones .
Every BodyLogicMD physician dedicates their practice to helping women and men ma
nage the aging process – as well as the negative effects of poor diet, lack of exe
rcise, environmental toxins and hormone imbalance – through prevention.
“It is important that we recognize the significant role that preventive medicine p
lays in optimizing health – no matter what our age,” says Dr. Landa. “Of course we nee
d the skill and training to diagnose disease and treat it with the most up-to-da
te methods available. But now that we know the best practices for the treatment
of disease, as well as the factors that contribute to the growth of disease, it
makes even more sense to put the focus on prevention and use our knowledge to im
prove the lives of our patients.”
This approach, while closely tied with the new Health Reform, is also directly i
n line with the building trend toward age management through wellness. Preventiv
e medicine makes the most not only of the advanced screening options for the ear
ly detection of disease, but also draws upon a host of innovative and practical
measures.
“Functional medicine looks at the human being as a whole, including all the factor
s that may affect a person and cause disease,” adds Dr. Landa. “It allows us to trea
t patients in a more holistic way, taking into account how the glands are workin
g and how they may affect the nervous and immune systems, something that is not
typical in the traditional practice of medicine. This is they type of medicine m
ost of us dreamed of practicing when we went to medical school.”
