What is Anti-Aging and Functional Medicine?
Dr. Susan W. Durham is one of the few physicians that has completed Fellowship training in this exciting new Board Certification Specialty
It’s a new understanding of how and why we age. Anti-Aging, Regenerative and Functional Medicine is the newest specialty and is at the forefront of applying advances in the fields of biochemistry, biology and physiology to preventative health care and medicine.
Dr. Durham also has advanced training in the use of Frequency Specific Microcurrent which uses very low, almost imperceptible levels of electrical energy for relaxation, to enhance healing and in the treatment of painful conditions.
Susan W. Durham MD is a Board Certified Anesthesiologist. She has been working at Womack Army Medical Center since 2006. Dr. Durham is also Fellowship trained, and specializes in Anti-Aging, Functional, and Regenerative Medicine. Carolina Anti-Aging & Wellness Center, PA was opened as a part-time wellness practice in the spring of 2008 as a place to treat non-military patients in this exciting field of medicine. Dr. Durham specializes in nutrition, treating hormone imbalance in both men and women with Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy, and reducing risk factors and weight with the HCG Metabolic diet and lifestyle changes. She also treats Fibromyalgia, pain, and fatigue problems.
Dr. Durham’s patients are having incredible success with the HCG diet by using sublingual HCG and an improved nutritional protocol that is allowing many patients to safely lose a pound a day while they improve their health. The average weight loss in one cycle of 4 weeks is about 20 pounds. On this protocol, over 90% aren’t hungry, most also have improved moods and better energy levels, and while they are trimming pounds and inches, they are also reducing risk factors for diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. It is important to identify and treat those problems that likely lead to, or are caused by, the abnormal weight gain such as hormone imbalance, nutritional deficiencies, adrenal dysfunction, hypothyroidism, fatty liver, intestinal bacterial overgrowth, and hidden food allergies, and helping patients to develop better lifestyle choices. Many patients have stopped snoring, are sleeping better, are having improvement in GERD symptoms, and overall improvement in their quality of life. Many report that they can’t believe how good they feel on this program. They also look younger, their skin improves and they become more active. It is amazing how many have had improvement in chronic pain, including neuropathies, back, and joint pain. Some patients have also been able to stop or reduce some of their medications for high blood pressure and for pain.
Dr. Durham has advanced training and experience with Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) Therapy, as used in the NFL. FSM therapy is FDA approved for pain. It works very quickly on most types of pain, including muscle, tendon, joint, and nerve pain and can improve healing. It also has successful applications for stress, PTSD, shingles, and GI disorders. There are aesthetic programs for improving skin and muscle tone. Studies show a decrease in inflammation and increase in collagen and elastin fibers. The recent use of FSM for vertigo has been very successful. Frequency Specific Microcurrent Therapy is noninvasive, painless, and highly successful. Studies show a decrease in inflammatory markers and an improvement in energy production by 500%, which may help a variety of conditions and improve function.
