Patient Testimonial
of the Month
From Marti R.
Praises and gratitude for Dr. McManus and her staff! I've been seeing them for 2-3 years now and can only rave about the outstanding job they do @ TWIHW! There's such a Positive Energy in their facility from the moment you walk in the door - everyone's smiling, friendly, competent AND they actually see you on time... The list goes on and on!
My health has improved so much with their innovative treatments (I've seen many doctors for over 20 years without similar results) - I used to have 2-3 migraines per week, and have now had only 2 in the last 7 months!

Losing hair has to be at the top of the list of "scariest things" for a woman. Hair growth has 3 phases: the growth phase, resting phase, and shedding phase. One of the most common causes of hair loss is stress, whether emotional or physical. This can create a vicious cycle since losing hair is so stressful!
A very common phenomenon related to hair loss is called Telogen Effluvium, where a stressor causes more hair than usual to enter the telogen (resting) phase. The shedding phase occurs when the growth phase starts again and pushes out the old 'resting' hairs from the follicles. During the condition of Telogen Effluvium, hair shedding may occur before the new growth starts. Telogen Effluvium typically lasts approximately 6 months, but may last 18 months or longer in some. This type of hair loss will not cause complete balding, and hair thickness usually recovers. The hair loss can start 1 to 6 months after the inciting event, with an average start time of 3 months.
Some causes of Telogen Effluvium include:

One of the most common problems we see with our new patients is nutritional bankruptcy, with a B vitamin deficiency being common and often the cause of several symptoms. B vitamins are not stored very well in the body because they are water-soluble. While a healthy body can produce some of the B vitamins, diet and supplementation are mission critical to good health. Deficiencies can occur fairly easily as a result of dieting, fasting, or a diet of substantially refined and processed food, sugar, or alcohol. Another very common reason for B vitamin deficiencies today is an unhealthy gut. Many of our B vitamins are produced by intestinal bacteria; however, antibiotic use, processed foods, sugar, alcohol, Splenda, stress and a toxic environment have all contributed to the destruction of these favorable bacteria, resulting in vitamin B deficiencies.
B vitamins are often referred to as a complex of vitamins because they usually show up in food and nature together and in many cases need each other to perform the functions they serve in the body. The complex includes thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, pyridoxal, biotin, folic acid, and B-12 (the cobalamins). B Vitamins serve the following purposes in the human body:

Employee of the Month:
Jolie Likens
Every month at The Woodlands Institute for Health & Wellness, we celebrate one member of our awesome team. This month, we are celebrating Jolie Likens and all that she brings to this practice. She's the first person you see when you come through our doors, yet the term "receptionist" greatly understates everything that Jolie does for us! While she is busy remembering and greeting every patient, and fulfilling every request from co-workers, bosses, vendors, delivery personnel and patients alike, she has an uncanny ability to exude a calm and kind spirit. But don't be fooled by this quiet, gracious, gentle person.
