How The Program Started
How this program started:
For many years Dr. Introna dedicated his practice to pain management. He specialized in low back pain, neck Pain, sports injuries, Whiplash and Spinal rehabilitation. Disheartened by most nutritional plans that promoted Bio-identical hormone replacement and little laboratory testing to validate their clinical outcomes, Dr. Introna did not developed that part of his practice. It seemed to him that too many clinicians were pushing large amounts of vitamins on patients without documenting the need or change in need other than going by symptoms. Over the years Dr. Introna noticed that some of his back pain patients where developing symptoms consistent with hormone imbalance but where not getting adequate testing or treatment. As a result of this need He started to study nutrition in great depth. In 2004 Dr. Introna developed a serious G-I tract condition and after medical evaluation was offered no treatment. As his condition worsened he took it upon him self to explore his health in depth with laboratory testing and was able to discover the true nature of his condition and began self treating. After just a few months of treatment his condition was resolved. After this person experience he began intensive study in the field of nutrition attending over 100hrs of continuing education in this field and began recommending treatments to his patients for many different condition. The program consisted of a thorough evaluation using blood work and hormone testing to treat patients holistically not symptomatically. As Dr. Introna had continued success more and more patients sought him out for conditions other than muscle skeletal care. After just a few years Dr. Introna has hundreds of success stories and has enjoyed being able to bring hope to many patients.
