Dr. Eisenheim guided me back to health and set me up to stay well going forward. At age 54, after years of intermittent problems and alternative treatments, I feel that I finally understand what I need to do to take care of myself.
When I first turned to Dr. Eisenheim, my primary complaint was that I'd been experiencing morning exhaustion for a long time. It was difficult to start the day, day after day, with no desire whatsoever to get out of bed. Was I depressed? Was I just getting old? Was this what it was going to be like from now on?
Another, lifelong, problem was food cravings that kept my weight a little higher than I felt comfortable with. The problem was far worse when I was younger, so I tried to be grateful that it had become much more manageable and just deal with it.
Dr. Eisenheim determined that, among other things, I was suffering from moderate adrenal exhaustion. I'd experienced it twice before, and here I was again!
She put me on a program that got my adrenals back in shape. I even held up well as we headed into the dark months of late fall -- a time when I traditionally crash. I feel like myself again.
More than previous practitioners, Dr. Eisenheim helped me understand my vulnerability to adrenal problems and how to avoid future crashes. Because I really get it now, I feel confident that I can plan and do the self-care I need.
As for the food cravings, some concerns about inflammation prompted Dr. Eisenheim to recommend the "TQI" (To Quiet Inflammation) book/eating plan. Now, I've been focused on healthful food all my life. But committing to the TQI regimen for several weeks brought me solidly back to basics long enough to remind me that my body demands a narrow path, food-wise -- and that it's so worth it. The chronic cravings virtually disappeared. I have little desire for foods that put me off-balance. This is huge. And I find myself gradually losing weight despite eating five times a day.
I feel really good about where I am now, and optimistic about the future. I would definitely go back to Dr. Eisenheim ... but I don't think I'll need to! read more
