Welcome to the
Brandywine Center for Integrative Medicine! At the Brandywine
Center, Dr. Kendall Ritz works with each patient on a personal level to
establish health, vitality, and optimal aging by focusing on weight
management, hormonal balance, and a healthy lifestyle. Dr. Ritz uses
targeted laboratory testing, diet and lifestyle intervention, dietary
supplements, and stress management techniques to help her patients reach
optimal health.
Her medical
background and training in functional medicine provide a comprehensive
approach to the treatment of a broad spectrum of chronic diseases and
health issues, in addition to providing a foundation for improved physical
appearance and positive body image. Dr. Ritz specializes in the management
of chronic illnesses that may be
associated with diet and lifestyle, including:
·
Obesity
·
Hypertension
·
Diabetes
·
CAD
·
GI disorders
·
Hormonal imbalance
·
Chronic fatigue
·
Fibromyalgia
·
Immune dysfunction
In Integrative Medicine, Dr. Ritz
functions as a consultant, not a primary care physician. She will work
with the primary care doctor to address health issues not adequately
managed by traditional approaches. Dr. Ritz may recommend dietary
supplements or prescribe additional medications, but will also work with
the primary care provider to help patients get off any unnecessary
meds. As a Board Certified internist and pediatrician, Dr. Ritz will work
with both adults and children, and she encourages the treatment of the
entire family unit.
