Verified Patient

“Excellent Doctor - I'm in Hormone Heaven!”

Dr Rosenbloom and his staff initially spent over 2 hours meeting with me. I have never had a more thorough and comprehensive evaluation. I have now been a patient for a few years and I can honestly say, that I feel better than ever!

“I am glad I did.”

As a 50 year old busy Professional, competing Olympic Weightlifter, Powerlifter and overall fitness enthusiast, I started noticing and experiencing aging, overall mood, stamina and energy changes in both body in my mind. Also, not being satisfied with the results or explanations I received from my Medical Doctor and Urologist, and after careful research, I decided it was time to visit Dr. Rosenbloom at LIFEFORCE Medical Institute.
After a comprehensive blood and urine analysis, Dr. Rosenbloom was able to find and determine what I was missing, had too much of or needed to change. Testosterone, HIGH, Vitamins, Minerals, Nutritional Supplements, diet, excersise and general lifestyle to name a few.
I met with Dr. Rosenbloom and his helpful, friendly and knowledgeable staff for about three hours. He prescribed, recommended and suggested supplementation/ therapy, dietary and overall lifestyle changes. I had never in my life had a such a detailed, informative, professional and educated evaluation. It has now been a little over six months and I can honestly see changes. I feel younger, energetic, stronger, more alert, and I am sleeping soundly. I feel I am on my way to an optimal well-being and a nutritionally mindful lifestyle.

“Don't see anyone else!”

Several years ago after continued fatigue and low libido my wife had me see our family doctor for some tests. He diagnosed low testosterone and referred me to a urologist. A quick appointment with the specialist later I was out the door with a Rx for Androgel. A number of years went by with no improvement so I saw another practitioner who specialized in BHRT this past year. She ran tests, said my testosterone was low and my adrenals weren't so great. She gave me the equivalent dose of testosterone I was already using in a the form of a BHRT cream and told me to add Vitamin D and fish oil and the testosterone would help my adrenals. By the end of the year there was still no improvement. My wife did additional research and found Dr. Rosenbloom and after seeing his impressive credentials suggested that maybe seeing someone who is actually an MD specializing in this field made more sense. Everyone seems to be on the biodentical hormone train these days, yet it has become obvious many are lacking in their skill set.

I completed a number of labs before my first appointment and when I came in for my to see him he had already typed a preliminary report on me based on his findings and was prepared to modify it after meeting with me. That impressed me right away. He was clearly able to see where the disconnect was (that other doctors never looked at or missed) and when he explained how the body processes hormones it made perfect sense to me. My testosterone was actually high but my DHEA was so low my body wasn't able to use the testosterone. He supplemented this along with support for my adrenals and I can tell a NOTICEABLE difference already and it's only been a little over a month. My energy levels are up, my sleeping is better, my mind isn't sluggish....all such good things for someone who is a workaholic. He also pointed out that I was pre-diabetic so all those years of being nagged to improve my diet and exercise was changed in a minute. He helped me see the importance of those changes that I ignored before. I actually just saw a knee doctor so I can get that matter taken care of in order to add serious exercise back into my life and my eating habits have changed completely (and it has been easy!).

The bone and muscle density scan was another eye opener.....makes me realize we are all aging without noticing and if we don't notice it now it will be too late! I am osteopenic and must take measures immediately for this. I am being supplemented with good things and under the care of a fantastic physician. Had I not seen him I can honestly saw my future probably would have been much dimmer than I was imagining. Aging is the pits and much of it is silent until it isn't, but his measures WILL change all of that for the better! I am planning on a long and healthy life and with Dr. Rosenbloom I know now that is a reachable goal...and I'm excited! My wife and I have a two year plan to walk the El Camino Santiago (500 mi) and I wouldn't have even had the conversation six months ago....that's how much better I feel!

“Total support, expertly trained and superb insight.”

I have been working with Dr Rosenbloom since December of 2014. Since I am a middle aged woman who has had a history of working outside, he has helped me to combat thyroid issues, adrenal fatigue and related chemical GI issues as well as the hormone imbalances with my age. He does the research to review your history and requires blood and other comprehensive tests as needed to come up with a systematic plan to chart your recovery progress and build a further plan for your optimal health.
Since being under his care I feel 500% better and have a much better outlook and quality of life. He has even worked with me on preventative immunity building and DNA analysis so that I can try to better prevent or combat the historic breast and other cancers in my family. He also helped my friends college aged daughter who had a significant vitamin D deficiency and other dietary and exhaustion problems to develop a course of action that helped guide her toward rebuilding her overall immunity.
Whatever your lifestyle, athletic or not, young, middle aged or older - Dr Rosenbloom is a great advocate to have in your corner, he also takes the time to work with you while educating you about better choices you can make. His Stanford training and patient centered work ethic puts him in a whole different league - he researches and investigates because he wants to help his patients feel better. He goes to seminars all the time so he can investigate the newer technologies and updated research.
Know that not all costs were covered by insurance but I did not care because I wanted to feel better, and I certainly do. He was careful and methodical, but my labs show that in only 1 year I am truly healing and recovering.

“What was I waiting for...”

I put off going to see a hormone specialist for a few year because to be honest I did not want to admit I was having issues. I finally made an appointment with Dr. Rosenbloom and all I can say is I wish I would have done it sooner. His staff was very welcoming and made me feel comfortable. Dr. Rosenbloom spent close to 3 hours with me one on one. He went over my lab results and other test result taking the time to explain everything in a way that I could understand. I have been following his recommendation for about 3 months now and I am starting to feel like the old me. I never knew it would be so easy to get my hormones under control.

“I could speak accolades for days......”

After enduring a severe health crisis brought on by another practitioner (two months completely bedridden, lost 20 lbs and barely functioning for about 4 months) when I returned to Illinois I knew I had to find a specialist to help me (after several attempts with other doctors to no avail). After reviewing Dr. Rosenbloom's credentials he seemed like a safe bet. My contact began with a VERY friendly and helpful staff who lined up all the necessary blood, urine and hormone testing I would need to have done (nice not to waste a trip into the city for that pointless first appointment just so they can tell you what they will need). When I went in for the appointment my labs had already been reviewed by Dr. Rosenbloom and a tentative game plan already in place (wow, that was nice!). I had a muscle and bone density scan (nothing like those results to inspire you to exercise!) then was given a copy of all of my lab work results to review quietly by myself before seeing the doctor (who does this?). Most doctors barely flash it (if at all) so you don't have too much time to think and ask questions. Not Dr. Rosenbloom, he actually encourages you be a participant in your health journey! Nice!

He then spent close to two hours talking to me and shining light on things I had no clue about but made incredible sense when he was done, an amazing awakening! Besides my hormones (which was my main reason for seeing him) he was able to point out things on my blood tests that indicated some potential gene mutations that were negatively affecting my overall health. He suggested Nutrigenomics testing so he could chart MY PERSONAL DNA pattern and tailor a protocol strictly FOR ME based solely on MY BODY.....not the stereotypical one size fits all and "everyone else does fine on 100 mg of this" concept most doctors use. He patiently explained pathways our body's use and what he suspects mine are doing...he would not set me up with a supplement regime until he was able to review my genetics as he said, "What helps one thing can hurt another so I want to be sure of what you need before I prescribe it." Ever heard a doctor say that? No. He is also the only doctor who ever considered the fact that I have mercury toxicity due to 8 amalgam fillings in my mouth...when I researched that when I got home I realized I am 100% symptomatic of that very serious and silent issue. He has put me in touch with a wonderful biological dentist to help with the removal of the mercury fillings and is wiling to help in my chelating process.

Since that day I have begun devouring my own research for better understanding of the things he touched on and when I let myself get wound up over an issue I am trying to understand I send off an email and he himself responds in very short order. Ever heard of a doctor doing that? No. I am over the moon having my health in such capable hands. Conquering the world of your health can create a lot of anxiety and having it in the capable hands of Dr. Rosenbloom is the only thing that calms that fear. I would never consider seeing anyone else.

“Thoughtful, scientific and experienced”

Dr. Rosenbloom and his team (his team supports his findings so that you, the patient, can access his good counsel) have supported my good health for one year. It's been a very positive experience and I believe if you are committed to seeking better health, this team can give you access to that path.
