Dr. Greer on Wellness

 

For basic HEALTH, don’t forget your fish and flax oil, folic acid, calcium and vitamin D. This alone can help stop inflammation, which reduces the production of cortisol, the fundamental cause of aging and a probable contributor to Alzheimers. These basic nutrients also promote weight reduction, as noted in Dr. Perricone’s new book on weight loss. We now have a new and more affordable fish (tuna) oil from Standard Process.

For WEIGHT LOSS, Dr. Greer’s approach incorporates formulations from BioGenesis, Interplexus and MediHerb. These new products make it easy and less costly to accomplish your weight loss. Of course, we always advise proper diet and exercise as a foundation for weight management and wellness.

 

For BETTER SKIN look to DermaCo, Dermatrophin PMG (new), and new custom-formulated facial and skin creams from Key Pharmacy.

 

For CELLULITE reduction, Burdock Complex, DermaCo and Gotu Kola can be beneficial. (Cellulite is dimpling caused by water trapped under the fat.)

 

For ENERGY, Astragalus Complex, Ashwaganda, Siberian Ginseng (Eleuthro), and Rhodiola & Ginseng Complex help many patients. Rhodiola benefits memory and libido as well.

 

For ADRENAL SUPPORT to block stress-induced cortisol and stubborn belly fat: Adrenalyze (new), BioAdrenal (new), Hepaticlear (new), Licorice, Rhemannia Complex, and Vitamin C are recommended.

 

For HAIR and NAILS, Biotin, Cataplex ACP, Gingko, Trace Minerals and Vitanox are often beneficial.

 

For MEMORY, don’t forget Bacopa Complex and Gingko. It may help you express your stored memory, while Gingko may help you store memory. Seriphos (phosphatidyl serine) nourishes the nerves to help enhance mental function. BioGenesis also has excellent new products for focus and ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder).

 

All herbs Dr. Greer recommends are specially selected for purity, cost, the manufacturer’s reputation, and suitability for vegetarians.  Please note that these claims have not been evaluated by the FDA.

Please know that you may choose to purchase your supplements and herbs from any other source. Even for those products that are made available only to physicians, Dr. Greer can generally help patients replicate the ingredients.
