Seminar Description:

The Battle of the Bones
Osteoporosis and Vitamin D Deficiency

Osteoporosis is a disease in which bone is lost faster than the body can replace it. This causes bones to become brittle and more susceptible to fracture. Low vitamin D levels increase the risk of cancer, immune issues and osteoporosis. 

Join Dr. Angela LaSalle for a discussion about osteoporosis, its symptoms and its diagnosis; and, the diseases that are associated with vitamin D deficiency. 

You can use this information to build a foundation of knowledge that supports healthy bones and a healthy lifestyle.

Dr. Angela LaSalle's practice includes treatment and evaluation of hormonal issues related to thyroid, metabolic syndrome and bio-identical hormone replacement. She has a special interest in the biochemistry, physiology, and inflammatory responses that occur in the body, affecting our genes and brain chemicals.

Believing that addressing all of these are necessary to fight illness and disease, Dr. LaSalle places an emphasis on treating the body as a whole and looking for the common thread that leads to numerous degenerative processes.

Looking at the interaction between our genetics and environment, Dr. LaSalle is a strong believer that inflammation is the underlying cause of many diseases. She includes life style, diet, nutritional supplementation and stress management to treat her patients. Her emphasis is on getting to the core issues to slow disease progression, and reversing when possible.

A graduate of Indiana University School of Medicine, Dr. LaSalle is board certified in Family Medicine with a fellowship in Integrative Medicine through the University of Arizona, a program founded by Andrew Weil, M.D.  Dr. LaSalle's focus has been in the field of Endocrinology, with special emphasis on the interplay of hormones, nutrition and lifestyle on the balance of the neurotransmitters and the immune system.
