Do you feel burnt out, stressed out, and exhausted most of the time?

Many lifestyle issues such as lack of sleep, not eating enough fruits and vegetables and/or eating too much sugar, alcohol, and caffeine greatly affect the adrenal glands. Many people don’t realize when they suffer from adrenal fatigue. If the adrenal glands can’t produce enough cortisol for the body to function well under stress, we feel depressed, anxious, and stressed. Is there any help? Yes!

Lisa Seltzer, Nurse Practitioner

Hi, I’m Lisa Seltzer.Lisa Seltzer I’m incredibly excited to be part of Dr. Leila’s practice! I feel I've
really found a home here that fits with my desire to help and support people in their
quest for beautiful, amazing, robust health. Having recently come from many years in a
hospital setting, I've embarked on a journey of discovery beyond pharmaceuticals to a
world where there is an abundance of natural and healthy alternatives, and there are so
many!  I have been exploring alternatives to pharmaceuticals in managing my own
health with such noticeable and positive results that I am truly inspired. This practice
does not follow a one size fits all kind of model, and for a practitioner like me who loves
to solve puzzles of all kinds, delving into the particulars of each individual's story makes
for such a rewarding partnership between healthcare professional and patient. Together
I have confidence we can solve your individual health puzzle.

Lisa graduated from Ithaca College with her Bachelor of Art in Biology Education in
2006. She became an EMT in 2008, then graduated from Drexel University with her
Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 2011. She moved to Rochester, NY in 2013, where
she worked as a nurse in the medical observation unit at URMC, and obtained her
Masters of Nurse Practitioner in the field of Adult Gerontology in Primary Care. She is
completing training in functional medicine through the University of Functional Medicine.

Patient Testimonials

HCG weight loss testimonial

"I now have more energy, enjoy eating great food and my overall mood is better. The foods I enjoy now are so much different than before, those traditional comfort food cravings are gone. I just became a grandfather and thanks to Dr. Leila and Michelle, I feel physically and mentally better than the day I became a father."

David
HCG weight loss testimonial

"Through Michelle's nutritional knowledge and guidance I have been able to finally lose weight and keep it under my control. It is a wonderful feeling to know that I can comfortably wear ANYTHING in my closet. But now some things are too big!"

Janis W., Lakeville, NY
testimonial alternative medicine

"Dr. Leila has been wonderful. She has worked with me to create a more natural protocol of vitamins and supplements. Those alternatives have done more to help me feel better than any prescription ever did. I wish that I had found her a long time ago, I would not have gone under the knife so many times."
