HEAR WHAT OUR PATIENTS SAY ABOUT
US
Dr. Davis
Please use this letter to inform all potential patients of The Woodlands
Wellness Center that they are not crazy! Yes, these symptoms
are real and it’s not all stress related. There is a bon-a-fide
medical reason for it! Thanks Dr. Davis for helping me to solve what
other doctors could not!
I
have been a flight attendant for the past 20 years and expanded my horizons 7
years ago to become a personal trainer. Excessive weight became a concern
after my hysterectomy in 2004. My energy levels were drastically
dropping, my hair was falling out and my sleep patterns were inconsistent, I
had cold hands and feet, repetitive sinus infections plus I itched all over my
body. I attributed these symptoms to flying and stress of helping an
aging parent.
I
went to several doctors to address these issues. I was told I was very
healthy. They said I had dry skin and my thyroid was in the “
Normal Range”. Their recommendation: work out more and eat
less! I was a trained professional. I was already working out and
eating right. Yet I could not understand why I was gaining weight.
Why was I so sluggish and having major brain fog? Sometimes
completing a sentence or a thought process was difficult. I questioned why the
doctors couldn’t treat me instead of their text books! Then I saw
Dr. Davis’ advertisement in a magazine.
I
immediately read Dr. Hotze’s book “Health, Hormones and
Happiness” and knew I was on the right track, especially after meeting
Dr. Sakina Davis. She spent hours going over every little detail.
She knew me better than my previous doctors. I was diagnosed as having
Hashimoto disease. Dr. Davis started me on Bio-identical hormones and Armor
thyroid. Wow, what a difference! I started losing the excess
weight! I had energy all through the day! Brain fog was gone.
Everything returned to normal. Then I started the yeast free diet and the
itching went away, plus a few more pounds.
I have
since found that Hashimoto’s is hereditary. My 12 year old daughter
is now a patient of Dr. Davis. She also takes Armor Thyroid along with Juice
Plus. Now she sleeps better and doesn’t get her afternoon headache
anymore.
Fortunately through working with Dr. Davis, my daughter will never have to
search for her health questions the way I did. We have found a friend for
life.
Thanks again Dr. Davis.
Sincerely,
Susan and Lauren Himsel

“Pushing 50” seemed to be getting the best
of me. Learning to live with hot flashes, insomnia, migraines, weight
gain, and my inability to concentrate was definitely not fun. When I looked in
the mirror, I didn’t recognize the old woman starting back at me. I was
struggling to keep up with both my job and personal life.
No matter what new diet I tried, by the end of the
week I found myself giving in to my cravings for sugar, bread, and alcohol. My
work includes significant travel, and lots of eating out. I rationalized that
at least I got some exercise running through airports, and that giving up my
comfort foods would just create even more stress.
Early in 2005, I started paying more attention to the
articles about bio-identical hormone treatments, and Dr. Davis’ new
practice. I knew of her, and respected the medical group she had previously
been with. I’m a skeptic, so it took me until May to find myself in her
office.
I halfway expected to hear the same old things about
being “perfectly normal”, and that I just needed to eat less and
start jogging. WOW, was I surprised! Dr. Davis gave me a new perspective
on our body chemistry, and explained how treating “low normal”
levels of thyroid and hormones could make a difference. After that first day, I
had some renewed hope.
The Yeast Free Diet turned out to be easier than I
expected, largely because the focus is on what you CAN eat, not what you are
missing. I had sample menus and an extensive listing of
“good” foods. In the past, I remember being crabby, tired and
hungry as I tried to change my eating habits. This time, there were plenty of
food choices, plus I found my energy level increasing! And by the end of
the first month, I was noticeably losing weight. Losing weight AND feeling
better. As a bonus, the staff turned out to be my own personal support
group.
I also have a skin condition called rosacea, which
often leaves my face looking very flushed. In my consultation with Shane, I
learned that AFT Skin Rejuvenation would likely help even my skin tone. I
had long been searching for something, and opted for the treatments. The
improvement has been dramatic. In addition, the same treatment has
removed many age spots from the back of my hands.
I’ve now been taking my new vitamins and
bio-identical hormones for almost 4 months, and I continue to be amazed. I have
not had a migraine since I started the program. My body continues to
change, plus I have more mental energy than I’ve had in years. After
completing the Yeast-Free portion of the program, I was free to add foods back
into my diet. However, I had another surprise: My strong food cravings had
disappeared! When I realized this, I celebrated by giving away my “fat
clothes”.
And people are noticing: My husband, a bigger skeptic
than I, recently asked if Dr. Davis might be able to help him feel
younger. And a young male colleague whom I had not seen in months
recently announced I looked “awesome”. Little does he know I
also FEEL awesome!
