Dr. Lori Gerber

This is the biggest red flag when it comes to your doctor 🚩 They only medical history they ask about is what surgeries and diagnoses you have.

My patients know that I never rely on what previous physicians have diagnosed you with as a full picture of your medical history. And here's why I've adopted that ethos in my practice:

➡️ You wouldn't be continuing to have symptoms if your previous doctor or primary care physician was able to solve your problems. That's a good indicator that the health history they collected wasn't enough to make a good diagnosis.

➡️ I specialize in chronic illness and know that there can be things that are triggering your immune system that blood tests won't pull. I once discovered that a patient of mine was struggling with a chronic bug that was originally linked to her running through corn fields barefoot as a kid. We would have NEVER been able to treat her appropriately without knowing that toxin exposure.

➡️ I believe wholly in our bodies as a system that runs best when all parts are optimized. I'm not going to assume my patients' bodies are functioning as expected in any regard just because they don't recognize it as a problem. For example, a lot of my patients' symptoms are linked with gut health issues, but very few of my patients bring that up as an issue during our first appointment. This is largely because of the normalization of things like IBS and acid reflux.

Some common symptoms of chronic illness include pain, fever, shortness of breath, fatigue, and a long list of other symptoms that are associated with plenty of other illnesses, too.

So, how do you actually know if it's a chronic bug? I use specialized lab panels to tell! By looking at these specialized labs, we can start to understand if a chronic bug has been reactivated and if it has, we can treat it accordingly.

The very first step is getting connected with us and getting your labs drawn! Ready to get started? Schedule an appointment now ➡️ https://loom.ly/49JMonM

If you don't have a doctor in your hometown who actually listens to your problems and tries to solve them, then maybe I should be your doctor. What do you think?

I spent years of my career traveling around to teach about medicine, and in that time, I met SO MANY patients who desperately needed a doctor who could figure out what was going on with them and prescribe treatments that would actually work.

That's what motivated me to open my virtual practice! Since then, I've been seeing clients all around the nation and helping people finally get to the bottom of the issues their primary care doctors had ignored or simply been unable to figure out.

I talk a lot about peptides, but what are these amazing medications, actually? Swipe to unpack it with me ⏩

Gaining weight after quitting a GLP-1 is definitely not a given. And if you maintain the same healthy habits you developed while on the medication, it's actually a great bet that you will never have to worry about that weight gain again.

If you are maintaining healthy habits but still gaining weight after the medication, it's not the norm. And in fact, it's a sign that you should look into other, underlying conditions that may be causing your body to retain or gain excess weight.

That's one of the reasons my weight loss and wellness program isn't just about weight loss. It's about removing the underlying factors that are barriers to your success!

Living with chronic inflammation feels like deep bodily discomfort, inability to sleep, weight gain or trouble losing weight, frequent skin rashes, unexplained fever, and more. And if you're having any of these symptoms, cutting out these hidden causes can go a very long way!

➡️ Alcohol
➡️ Refined carbohydrates
➡️ Added sugar
➡️ Fried food
➡️ Unhealthy fats
➡️ Smoking ci******es
➡️ Excess body fat
➡️ Being stressed
➡️ Irregular sleep

I have helped so many patients beat the symptoms of chronic inflammation by using natural and proven medications paired with smart lifestyle change. Who wants to work with me to beat chronic inflammation together?

Something I tell my patients over and over again is that your gut health is the biggest key to feeling better. Focusing on a healthy gut can help your body fight off infections, function more efficiently, and even reduce the risk of things like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.

Did you know that a headache can be triggered any time there is a fluctuation in estrogen levels, including when there is a dip around the time of your cycle? Hormone headaches are often categorized by throbbing or pulsing head pain, accompanied by light sensitivity and nausea, but luckily, there are a lot of tools you can use to fix this.

A lot of people think that bio-identical hormones are only for women who are aging into menopause or already in menopause, but the truth is, we could ALL benefit from more balanced hormones. The opportunity to solve chronic headaches is just one of the many reasons to take action on this!

If you're interested in learning more about hormone balance, let's connect! I'm a doctor who meets with patients virtually to help them solve hormone balance issues, tackle chronic illness, and more.

A lot of people will talk about ozempic or other weight loss drugs being a way to “cheat” your weight loss journey, but this couldn't be less true!

As a physician who really loves using these medicines to help my patients lose weight, here's a little bit about the science behind these drugs.

Patients who have failed to lose weight before actually need this medication to be able to get healthier in many cases, and the reason why is because for some people, genetics or menopause cause them to manage sugars in an inefficient way.

Drugs like ozempic are amazing for these patients because they regulate how the body manages sugars and insulin. Besides, these medications do NOT actually make you lose weight magically on your own. You still have to improve your diet and exercise to get long lasting results.

No cheating in that!

Signs it's time to stop investing in weight loss programs that don't work ⬇️

✔️ You're constantly logging calories on your phone
✔️ You feel hungry all the time
✔️ You're spending tons of time and energy with nothing to show for it
✔️ You're not even sure what you could change

Here's the thing. Getting healthier should feel GOOD. But for many of us, weight loss feels like a battle. One of the reasons I started prescribing peptides like semaglutide and trizepatide to my patients is because I knew that these medications could help my patients lose weight without feeling like this.

Exercise intolerance is a VERY real thing, and if you've experienced any of these symptoms, you might be exercise intolerant yourself. This phenomenon has a lot of different causes, but a few diagnoses that are commonly behind it are anemia, diabetes, kidney disease, and inflammatory disorders.

For my patients, inflammatory disorders seem to be a really common cause for this because these disorders are the ones that are most commonly overlooked by my patients' primaries. That means that when we do things like eliminate inflammatory foods and start to heal the gut, exercise becomes MUCH, much easier!

Our patients aren't just losing weight - they're gaining skills and tools to live a healthier lifestyle for the rest of their lives! Our program is all about feeling great and boosting longevity because, what's a lighter body worth if you're not really feeling your best?

By running panels that your primary won't, I'll find what's really going on and provide a treatment plan that helps you kick whatever symptoms you're struggling with.

Here, we're saying NO to headaches, night sweats, fatigue, tummy issues, and all the other things your primary care doctor told you they can't fix. Who's ready to get started?

I have had countless patients come to me with issues like post-nasal drip, fatigue, and other issues that they felt bad NOTHING to do with gut health, only for us to realize that the gut was the underlying issue all along.

One example that I like to share about often is my patient who came to me with really persistent post-nasal drip and a bad taste in their mouth that they just could not shake. This patient had been to a ton of ENTs and other specialists and just could not figure out what was going on.

So, here's what I did 👇

✔️ Had them cut out inflammatory foods starting with gluten and dairy to calm down the eczema of the stomach

✔️ Started them on our Gut Calm powder, a really trusty probiotic, pre-biotic

✔️ Took the the immune system down a notch with some colostrum or immunoglobulin

I'm helping patients learn how to understand their gut health and take action to finally get better! Book your appointment with me today if you want to learn more.

As a doctor and as a thyroid patient myself, I would never prescribe Synthroid because it has SO MANY additives that contribute to poor absorption of the medication.

I highly recommend Tirosint Sol instead because it is pure T4 without unnecessary added ingredients. The only other ingredient is glycerin. There is no gluten or sugar like with other thyroid medications!

If you're a thyroid patient who just isn't feeling better, poor absorption might be the source of your troubles. Let's talk about how we can get you better!

It's no secret that I LOVE peptides for helping my patients get better results, and these are just a few reasons why!

✔️ Better Target Specificity

✔️ Higher Potency

✔️ Fewer Side Effects

Peptides are known for their ability to target only certain receptors or enzymes, which is why most people see much better results on the peptides than on medications they may have tried in the past.

What you eat has a significant impact on your ability to get better when you're sick and to fight off disease! The reason is actually pretty simple, too. It's because your immune system sits directly outside of your gut.

When we eat foods that cause poor gut health, we trigger an immune response that distracts our immune system from other things going on in the body. When we put continual stress on our gut by maintaining a poor diet, our immune system gets sort of bogged down in the amount of response it has to do and isn't able to respond as effectively when other, and sometimes more urgent, issues arise.

What I recommend for my patients who are dealing with any type of chronic inflammation or chronic bug is that in order to get better faster, we have to focus on improving gut health first because it will help eliminate distractions from the gut and allow your body to focus on healing and fighting off what's important!

We have a few tests that can help us assess gut health and get to the bottom of what's causing issues for you. Click here if you're ready to get started ➡️ https://drloriintegrativemedicineandaesthetics.as.me/schedule.php?calendarID=9520360

If you're on a ton of medications, still don't feel good, don't have an actual diagnosis, or you're struggling with symptoms that are better but not resolved after an extended period, it's a sign that symptoms are being treated rather than your problems.

The real reason your primary is treating your symptoms rather than your problems is because they're not actually getting to the bottom of what's going on with you.

And as a doctor who treats patients for chronic illnesses very often, I can tell you that the multiple steps involved with getting to the bottom of why you don't feel well are 100% worth it.

My process looks like running a ton of lab tests and making lifestyle changes that aren't always a quick and easy fix, but what all of my patients would tell you is that it WORKS. And it works because I listen to my patients, I trust them, and I believe them. It's as simple as that.

Chronic inflammation can be a HUGE factor in why you haven't been feeling your best, but treating it is simpler than you think. I treat my patients for chronic inflammation without using ineffective pharmaceuticals that come with a laundry list of negative side effects.
