Dr. Greer is an OB/GYN whose practice has evolved to emphasize hormone regulation and weight management, which are in fact closely related.
Prescribing bio-identical hormones for more than 15 years alerted Dr. Greer to the role of a variety of hormones in the regulation of weight. His parallel, 10-year career as a nationally recognized fashion model has heightened his own awareness of the role of diet, exercise and wellness in maintaining a healthy figure and facial features.
Over time, Dr. Greer realized that many of his patients suffer from stress-related adrenal fatigue and cortisol-related weight gain. As a result, he has come to believe that resolving obesity can be a key strategy for extending life and improving its quality.
Dr. Greer’s weight management protocol incorporates:
- Laboratory testing of adrenal and thyroid hormones
- Vitamins and essential fatty acids
- Selected prescription medications
- Counseling on lifestyle-related health measures
- Herbal preparations
That protocol is made possible by two factors:
1) The practice is cash-based and therefore free of constraints often placed by restrictive insurance policies. (Patients can seek reimbursement for their care, but coverage is often limited.)
2) Dr. Greer spends more than an hour with patients upon their first visit and often 30 minutes or more in their monthly follow-up visits.
Dr. Greer’s approach is rare, if not unique, and the impact on patient health has been remarkable. Patients have dramatically improved their health indicators through careful weight reduction.
