From Crawling to Running

from Victoria H.

“Six months ago I literally crawled in to Dr. McManus’ office. I’d suffered for a year with anxiety, weight gain, hair loss and hot flashes. I’d previously seen my obstetrician and she was quick to tell me I was peri-menopausal and prescribed birth control pills. Long story short, they didn’t help and my symptoms continued to torment me. After some online research I stumbled upon Dr. McManus’ bio and immediately called for an appointment. I was quick to be seen and shortly thereafter began the yeast free diet and a vitamin and mineral routine specifically tailored to my needs. I was very hesitant to stop the birth control pill because it had become my “crutch” but the day I stopped, I began bio identical hormones and I’ve never felt better. My energy has returned, my menopause symptoms have diminished and on January 15th I ran the Houston half marathon. I’m now in control of my health and forever grateful to The Woodlands Institute of Health and Wellness.”
