Letter From Dr. Williams
Dear Friend,
Hello, thank you for visiting New Life Physicians website. We are a physician owned practice that specializes in the treatment of Obesity syndrome and hormone imbalances in both women and men. Our patients' ages range from 18-83 years of age, and our goal at New Life Physicians is to offer the most natural and innovative solutions for your needs at this time.
As an Internal Medicine Physician, I have been trained to evaluate many health related illnesses and worked in the primary care medical field for 10 years. I worked in Nashville as a traditional Primary Care Physician in an outpatient office-based private practice until transitioning to a hospital based Internal Medicine position performing inpatient care at Williamson Medical Center from 2004-2007.
I have also studied a different side of medicine...the natural side. More and more people desire to have a natural based solution for their changing lives. Your physical health can change for any number of reasons at almost any age. At New Life Physicians, we are here to give you a chance to restore your health naturally.
Our company originally began in the Autumn of 2005, four years after contracting a viral infection called mononucleosis (mono for short). I was ill for 6 months and often found it difficult to do even the most minimal activity. Normally, infections with mono, forces an individual to be on complete bed rest due to the extreme fatigue and flu-like symptoms. Unfortunately, I had to continue working up to 100 hours per week, and simply never recovered.
Even up to four years later, I suffered from severe fatigue, mood swings, irritability, and low libido. It was embarrassing as a physician when I couldn't remember what I was trying to say and felt as if I was showing symptoms of Alzheimer's dementia. This not only took a toll on me, but also on my family. Desperately, I spent 4 years researching my condition through physician visits and other literature.
Finally, I was introduced to a group of physicians and pharmacists who were using biologically familiar hormone therapy (previously referred to as bio-identical hormone replacement therapy) to help people just like me get their life back. I studied this field by reading books by Dr. John Lee and others who had pioneered the use of biologically familiar hormone replacement therapy (previously referred to as bio-identical hormone therapy) in the form of creams and gels.
In my search to learn how to treat women and men with hormone imbalances; I was introduced to Dr. Gino Tutera, founder of SottoPelle, who had been using hormone pellets under the skin for 15 years. He has trained many physicians to treat hormonally imbalanced women and men with bio-identical estrogen and testosterone pellets. The bio-identical (bio-familiar) pellets are placed painlessly under the skin using a small amount of local anesthesia. The pellets are broken down by enzymes in the blood stream and are released over time to provide the body with optimal levels of hormones. I was intrigued and read his book titled, "You Don't Have to Live with it", and became so excited to finally find some answers that I flew to Arizona the following month to begin my training. At that time, all the pieces of the proverbial health puzzle fell into place, and learned that my symptoms were consistent with low testosterone and progesterone.
Like so many of the patients we see, I kept getting my thyroid checked since I was just positive that hypothyroidism was my problem. But just like everyone else, lab tests always came back "normal". Once lab work confirmed a low testosterone level, I received testosterone supplementation in the form of pellets under the skin. Within 2 months, I began to feel alive again. As my energy and mood improved, I was able to enjoy life like any other healthy 41 year-old female.
As a primary care physician, I saw there were women and men who struggled with the same issues, and many times would send a patient home with no answers. Despite a "happy life", many women and men suffered from debilitating fatigue, muscle aches, headaches, frequent infections, and inability to lose weight. I often used to think to myself, "You know, if I had an answer for you, I would have an answer for me". And finally with the knowledge of bio-familiar hormone replacement therapy the answers are available!
Doesn't it make sense that the hormones our bodies make work the best? The answer is 'yes'! If our bodies would produce their optimal levels of hormones, that would be best. Unfortunately, our bodies are unable to accomplish that task for many reasons and require supplementation in both women and men. At New Life Physicians, we work to get everyone's hormones in "optimal" range...which is not the same as "normal".
See what New Life Physicians can do for you!
