I went down a huge rabbit hole that started around the beginning of July 2020. I really had the “Covid Blues” trying to keep Thom Underwood Wellness open in the times of uncertainty and stress for everyone. I had to take some time to figure out what I wanted to do and how to focus. My passion for helping people reverse disease in their bodies and change their lives was coming at a cost of my own health and wellbeing.
You Can’t Take Care Of Others Unless You Take Care Of Yourself.
The cost of supporting a business was damaging my financial wellbeing. So, after a few months of weighing out my options, I decided to keep the Rebel Health Coach Podcast and look for a way to still do what I am passionate about.
I found it.
I’m proud to tell you I have taken a position with Body Symmetry MD, here in Atlanta, working with a doctor and doing what I love doing. And here’s the best part—not only could I provide clients what I did before, but the capabilities of Body Symmetry MD have opened the door for so many more options and paths to health and fitness success.
A huge reason for accepting this position is I found that a majority of my past clients needed more than just supplements; they could benefit from deeper analysis with a medical doctor. For example, with hypothyroidism on the rise, many needed thyroid help. I am totally against synthetic forms of thyroid meds like Levothyroxine, Liothyronine, and Liotrix which have many side effects.
Now working with a doctor at Body Symmetry MD, I have immediate access to a desiccated thyroid through our compounding pharmacy, which is formulated to me each client’s specific needs.
More Good Stuff
Some other reasons why my alignment with Body Symmetry MD is paying off for the people I am privileged to help:
- I am now able to get bioidentical hormones replacement therapy without sending my clients somewhere else.
- I have access to peptide therapy, which uses natural compounds to treat a spectrum of diseases and conditions, including autoimmune diseases, diabetes, COVID-19, cancer, sleep issues, weight loss, and so much more.
What is Peptide Therapy? Here’s a great explanation of how it can help you: https://charlestonhealthspan.com/2019/02/peptide-therapy-what-it-is-and-how-it-can-it-help-you/ - Last but most importantly this also gives me an amazing general weight loss program using HCG (Human chorionic gonadotropin) for weight loss…. I have never been a huge fan of HCG clinics mainly because a majority of them limit you to a diet of 500 calories per day, which sets you up for failure from the beginning.
We do HCG differently, using the HCG as a tool to dramatically shifts your metabolism toward burning your own fat. This allows you to create energy from the fat that you are melting away. Also, we put you on a very sustainable diet plan to help even more—and I will be there to guide you every step of the way. You will have access to me through email, text and phone, and we will meet either in person, or by phone or Zoom weekly to discuss you and your progress!
An Interesting Positive Of The COVID Pandemic:
One upbeat element of social distancing is that we’re now using telemedicine more frequently and effectively. It’s more accepted now, and in my opinion, it should always have been an option.
So what that means for you is that I can offer you most of these services remotely, as I have done the past four years, depending on state guidelines.
Thank you for taking this journey with me. I am super excited to now be able to help people at a much higher level than I could ever imagine.
