Have you been recently diagnosed with an autoimmune disease? Or have you been dealing with symptoms of an autoimmune or other chronic condition for a long time? If you believe things can be better and want to take back control of your health, then BodySwitch Amsterdam-Centrum is the right place for you.
My name is Laura Leichtenberg, an orthomolecular physician at BodySwitch Amsterdam-Centrum, and I am here to help you feel healthy and fit again. I do this by using lifestyle as a ‘tool’ to help you overcome your symptoms.
At BodySwitch, we take all complaints seriously and address them at their root, not just the symptoms. Conventional medicine often focuses on alleviating symptoms, whereas I prefer to identify and resolve the underlying cause so I can truly help you.
Once we have identified the cause, we create a personalized treatment plan.

Are you curious about what I can do for you? And would you like to ask some questions about my methods first? Then schedule a no-obligation, brief introductory phone call! Click the button below to make an appointment.
If you prefer to sign up directly for an (online) intake, choose to make an appointment. Before the intake, we will complete a detailed questionnaire. Together, we will then determine your treatment goals and the duration of the program.
For any other questions, you can contact me by email or phone.
My vision:
“Giving patients (with chronic diseases and/or complaints) back control and guiding them toward their optimal health is my passion. In my work, I combine my foundation in conventional medicine with a variety of lifestyle tools and my personal experience as a chronically ill patient.
Finding and addressing the root cause of the problem to achieve a lasting solution — that is what I find most rewarding!”

The specialties of BodySwitch Amsterdam-Centrum are:
As indicated, I focus on finding and resolving the underlying cause of your symptoms. When and what caused imbalance? And what can we do to support your body so that it can function optimally again and stay healthy?
While conventional medicine often works with medications, I use lifestyle ‘tools’ such as nutrition and supplements, exercise, and relaxation (including sleep and stress management) to improve your health in a natural way. This form of medicine requires a tailored approach and therefore a personal plan.
My plan for you:
Step 1: An intake, including an extensive questionnaire
Step 2: If necessary, additional gut and/or blood tests
Step 3: A personalized treatment plan tailored to you
