Have you ever started a diet plan with a friend and they lost weight, and you didn’t? Why, do you wonder?
The answer is probably in your genes! As a female physician who struggles with this very issue, it has been my life’s passion to share my knowledge and personal experience of the often-overlooked multi-step approach to OptimaWeight! Your unique DNA sequences determine what percent of each macronutrient (proteins, fats, and carbohydrates) you are genetically built to metabolize most efficiently. Your DNA is easily obtained by a cheek swab!
This DNA information regarding your brain neurotransmitters, your proper food balance and custom exercise recipe driven by your DNA results begin your personalized program. The DNA answers combined with your thyroid function, sugar ingestion, gut health, food allergies and sensitivities, hormone levels (male and female), and vitamin and amino acid balance direct your unique diet plan. It is an interconnected wheel and each component should be addressed in order to achieve lifetime optimal weight balance.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is an advanced, natural treatment for skin rejuvenation offered at Dr. Burkenstock’s Skin-Body-Health. Our skin is naturally comprised of red blood cells along with serum which contains white blood cells and platelets.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is an extract of your own serum containing 3-5 times more platelets, growth factors, and active proteins. Growth factors in platelets help skin function by increasing collagen and elastin and contributing antioxidant and hydrating properties. All of this helps to promote tissue healing by stimulating cell turnover.
Platelet-Rich Plasma is now being injected into the skin in the same manner as dermal fillers as well as being used topically along with micro-needling. You are an ideal candidate for PRP therapy if you have premature wrinkles, high levels of solar damage, or anyone who wants an even tone and fresher appearance to their skin.
When PRP is placed back into the skin by injection, it initiates a localized stem cell response. Over the weeks and months following treatment, this stem cell response attracts collagen-producing cells called fibroblasts. The fibroblasts replace tissue that has been damaged or lost through the aging process with healthy skin that looks refreshed and rejuvenated.
Scars and Contour Defects
PRP has become a promising method to assist in regenerating and repairing soft tissue that is damaged by trauma or is simply a less desirable characteristic.
Skin Rejuvenation
PRP has also been found to help in removing damaged molecules in the extracellular matrix (ECM) of the skin and in stimulating creation of new collagen to support the structure, elasticity, and function of the skin.
Non-Surgical Facelift
Dr. Burkenstock has studied extensively with Ingrid B. Riedel, MD to perfect her techniques and help rejuvenate your appearance with platelet-rich plasma.
PRP can be used cosmetically to:
Some age-related concerns respond better to cosmetic PRP, while others respond better to hyaluronic acid, fillers, peels, or laser resurfacing techniques. The effects of all these treatments are enhanced by using them together. Women and men can benefit from cosmetic PRP.
Cosmetic PRP is a simple and safe procedure. Because the PRP is extracted from your own blood, there is no risk of disease transmission, allergic reaction, or immune reaction. PRP is an effective and natural way of harnessing the healing power of your own blood to help reverse the signs of aging.
PRP can be repeated, and better results are seen with a total of 2-3 treatments given 3-4 months apart. Patients can expect to see better results as they receive more treatments. With time, the results of PRP get better and better.
It’s nice to layer PRP with traditional fillers. If a patient has volume loss with a lot of fine lines and textural changes, Dr. Burkenstock will use PRP to create a new foundation of collagen and use dermal fillers for the fine lines.
“Dr. Burkenstock is the best doctor in my opinion she has helped me to better understand the internal workings of my body like my thyroid and hormones. My energy level is normal again, thank god! She was able to review my blood lab work and help me adjust my diet and medication to feel youthful after having a baby at almost 40. I felt drained, stressed and dehydrated before coming to Dr. Burkenstock. She’s also done some esthetic work to my face and people often compliment how young I look now, too! Finding a specialist who could help me understand my hormones and blood work has been life-changing. Thank you Dr. Kelly Burkenstock!”
