Product Highlights:  Cortisol Manager™ is a stress-reduction supplement that combines a variety of natural ingredients and cortisol-lowering botanicals with phosphatidylserine.  A 28 day clinical trial found that Cortisol Manager™ produced a dramatic reduction in stress during the course of the study, with more than a 60% drop in cortisol levels after the first dose.  Cortisol is “the stress hormone” produced by your adrenal glands in response to stress.  Cortisol is necessary to assist us in emergency situations, but heightened cortisol levels from chronic stress can lead to changes in body chemistry and physiology, such as elevation of blood sugar or blood pressure.

 Our experience with this product has been dramatic, in that over 75% of our patients who have tried Cortisol Manager™ have experienced improved sleep, felt more relaxed, felt their stress level was reduced, and did not feel “groggy” upon awakening.  Unlike prescription tranquilizers, this product is non-habit forming.

 

 

 

 

 
 

a word to prospective patients

We know that selecting a new doctor is a big decision, and we thank you for inquiring about The Preventive Medicine Center of Gainesville, Inc. The Center was established in March 2000 by Dr. Robert A. Erickson in response to more and more Americans seeking complimentary and alternative therapies to traditional drug therapy alone, while at the same time wanting a trained medical doctor participating in their health care needs.

At the Center we take a nutritional approach to health and healing, rather than prescribing drugs whenever possible. This approach is integrated with the medications a patient is currently taking from other physicians. It has been our experience in some cases medications can eventually be reduced or even eliminated entirely if a patient so desires. The intent of this approach is to elevate one's health through nutrition and life-style changes, rather than just treatment of symptoms with a drug.

We realize this type of approach is not for everyone and does not apply to every health condition. We encourage you to explore this website to get a better idea of our approach to health and wellness.
