Paul Glanville, MD

LDN SpecialistThe picture I included is of my wife, La Vonne, and me.  I have been in full time General Practice over 50 years.  I specialize in bio-identical hormone therapy, thyroid function and healthy aging.  I am just now looking into LDN therapy and am very excited!  I first saw The LDN Book about 7 years ago and thought it looked interesting but didn’t go any further.  Then somehow I saw or heard more about 2 months ago and have been wanting to try it for myself and my wife and more and more patients.  Finally decided to really learn about it and heard about the LDN MasterClass.  I decided that was the best way to really learn and get started.  Thank you LDN Research Trust and Linda Elsegood!  My hobbies are scuba diving (over 1900 dives and certified in night diving, nitrox, cavern and cave diving and solo diving), woodworking and playing trumpet.

 

Terry Armstrong, Jr, PMHNP-BC


 

Terry Armstrong, JrI am a DNP Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with an interest in integrative medicine. I enjoy working with complex patients and investigating underlying pathologies that are frequently misdiagnosed. I utilize nutritional psychiatry as a treatment intervention, and approach mental health from a perspective of assessing the person systemically rather than just focusing on mental health symptoms.

For instance, patients with mental health diagnoses frequently have underlying systemic inflammation that could be coming from a variety of conditions like MCAS, Ehler’s Danlos, Histamine Intolerance, or GI problems. Simply treating with mental health medications is only treating the symptoms, not the root cause. 

I have a BS in Exercise Physiology and was a Physical Therapist assistant for over 20 years.
