I came to Dr. Blum after several attempts (and over 10 years) with other doctors to balance my hormones and thyroid issues. I tried everything from diet, to bio-identical hormones, to supplements, to birth control pills. I went to a noted womenʼs clinic that seemed to help temporarily, but then the same symptoms would return. Nothing was working, and the birth control pills I had started due to heavy and continuous bleeding, were actually causing a whole new set of symptoms! I wasnʼt sleeping well, had very heavy bleeding, severe cramping, acne, weight gain, and mood swings with anxiety and depression. The symptoms had gradually become worse, with only a few months of relief at a time, when new doctors had new ideas. Dr. Blum was able to figure out and diagnose my issues that multiple other doctors did not either consider or understand. Through many questions, tests and comprehensive blood work she diagnosed me with Graves Disease and found that I have an elevated, genetic risk for celiacʼs disease. Through other tests she found and explained that I have high levels of mercury and lead in my body which combined with my gluten sensitivity contributes to the auto-immune issues I was experiencing. In addition, through a genetic liver test, she explained that my liver does not break down and detoxify estrogen, pesticides and metals very well. This information, the supplements and the simple changes to my diet that she recommended have changed my life. ALL of my symptoms have gone! I am still figuring out how to void my body of the metals and repair the flora in my gut, but I lost the weight I had gained, I have no mood swings or anxiety or depression, my struggle with acne is gone, and I sleep better than I have in many years! Over 10 years of struggling, and she helped me alleviate my symptoms in less than a year! Dr. Blumʼs functional medicine approach, her intelligent, holistic philosophy and her personal care are absolutely curative. I recommend her center to everyone who needs help with eating healthy, stress relief, and most of all help to feel and live a healthy, long life!
Thank you so much Dr. Blum!

I first met Dr. Susan Blum almost 5 years ago, and today I can’t imagine my life without her. When I first went to see Dr. Blum, I was only 40, but had gone into early menopause. I was frustrated because I had been trying for years to get my hormones under control but no one was able to help me. Under the suggestion of my wonderful Pharmacist Phil Altman, I called Dr. Susan Blum. I left my first meeting with Dr. Blum feeling so confident that I finally found someone who was really going to be able to help me. She has such a positive energy and really takes the time to get to know you and understand your issues. In less than a year, Dr. Blum determined that I had a wheat allergy, which I never knew I had, balanced my hormones, and I was feeling great. Everything was finally working the way it was suppose to. In fact, things were working so well, that we had the unexpected surprise of becoming pregnant. I never thought it was possible. We had to go though so much fertility to have our other two children, that this was truly a “Blum” blessing. I have seen Dr. Blum many times over the last few years for a variety of different health issues that come up. I often describe her as a “Doctor Detective” because when no one else seems to be able to help, or just wants to give you a quick fix, Dr. Blum will not give up until she uncovers the source of your the problem and then gives you healthy solutions to get you feeling great again. She truly is the best doctor I have ever know, and feel so lucky that I found her.
Our son is 2 years old already, and when I say I can’t imagine my life without Dr. Susan Blum…I really can’t!
