BodyLogicMD’s CMO Dr. Alicia Stanton Welcomes Third Expert Hormone Doctor

Glastonbury, Connecticut – August, 2009 – As a means of satisfying the increasing demand from patients in need of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), BodyLogicMD Chief Medical Officer Dr. Alicia Stanton is proudly announcing the addition of a third physician, Dr. Anita Petruzzelli, to her Connecticut-based bioidentical hormone therapy practice.

Dr. Petruzzelli believes that when a person isn’t distracted by the debilitating symptoms brought on by perimenopause, menopause and andropause - including hot flashes, insomnia, fatigue, mood swings, weight gain and depression - one can begin to nourish the spirit and mind and in turn relinquish the unpleasant effects of aging. Petruzzelli promotes the importance of implementing a balanced regime, consisting of adequate exercise and nutritional value in accord with the support of BHRT in an aim to “live better, longer.”

When asked what influenced her decision to come aboard BodyLogicMD, Dr. Petruzzelli replied, “As an [Obstetrician / Gynecologist] OB/GYN, BodyLogicMD is a natural fit for me. They are the largest national network of the highest trained anti-aging physicians, said Petruzzelli. “I became interested in BHRT while seeking out alternative options for my patients after the controversial findings in the Women’s Health Initiative Study in 2002. I want the ability to offer my patients, evidence-based, safe and natural solutions for the crippling symptomatic changes that many women and men may experience as a result of hormonal imbalance.”

Dr. Anita Petruzzelli has a rather comprehensive background in exercise and fitness – both personally and professionally. She was recognized as ‘Ms. National Collegiate’ in 1986 and also as Ms. Washington, D.C. in 1989. Dr. Petruzzelli states, “As a competitive athlete I learned that what you put into your body equals what you get out. Proper performance in any sport and throughout life in general, requires the proper balance of hormones, nutrition, exercise and above all a positive outlook on life.”
