BodySwitch Gilze-Rijen - Orthomolecular therapist

Getting healthy and fit naturally. Do you want that too?

Welcome to BodySwitch Gilze-Rijen: Orthomolecular physician, specialist in lifestyle medicine and autoimmune diseases

Have you recently been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease? Or have you been walking around with symptoms of an autoimmune or other chronic disease for a long time? And do you believe you can do better and would like to regain control of your health, then BodySwitch Gilze-Rijen is the right place for you.

My name is Laura Leichtenberg, an orthomolecular doctor working at BodySwitch Gilze-Rijen, and I would like to help you feel healthy and fit again. I do this by using lifestyle as a ‘tool’ to help you get rid of your complaints.

At BodySwitch, we take all complaints seriously and treat your complaints from the core, not from symptoms. Mainstream medicine focuses on treating complaints and I prefer to focus on finding and solving the underlying cause so that I can really help you.

Once we have identified the cause, we draw up a personal treatment plan.

If you prefer to sign up directly for an (online) intake, please choose to make an appointment. Prior to the intake, we will complete an extensive questionnaire. Together we will then determine your treatment goals and the duration of the programme.

If you have any other questions, you can contact me by e-mail or telephone.

Orthomolecular Physician: Laura Leichtenberg

My vision:

“Giving patients (with chronic diseases and/or symptoms) back control and helping them on their way to optimal health is my passion. In my work, I combine my foundation from mainstream medicine with a variety of lifestyle tools and my personal experience as a chronically ill patient.

Finding and addressing the cause of the problem, in order to reach a long-term solution, that’s the best thing for me!”

Specialisation BodySwitch Gilze-Rijen

BodySwitch Gilze-Rijen specialises in reducing health complaints and improving your health in a natural and healthy way. Orthomolecular physician Laura Leichtenberg specialises mainly in autoimmune diseases, with a focus on thyroid complaints.

BodySwitch Gilze-Rijen’s specialisms are:

A tailor-made orthomolecular treatment plan

As indicated, I focus on finding-and resolving-the root cause of your symptoms. When and what caused the imbalance? And what can we do to support your body so that it can function optimally again and stay healthy?

Where regular medicine often works with medication, I deploy lifestyle ‘tools’ such as nutrition and supplements, exercise and relaxation (including sleep and stress management) to improve your health naturally. This form of medicine requires customisation and therefore a personalised plan.

My plan for you:
Step 1: An intake, including a comprehensive questionnaire
Step 2: Additional bowel and/or blood tests if necessary
Step 3: A tailor-made personal treatment plan

Anonymous client

“I had been looking for the cause of my abdominal pain and reduced energy for 3 years, with no results. With Laura’s orthomolecular approach, after only 2 months my abdominal pain decreased and my energy increased. Thanks to orthomolecular doctors like Laura Leichtenberg, there is a broader search for causes. And with success.”

Regine Wagenaar

“Laura was the perfect complement for me to my regular hospital appointments. Since childhood, I have had an autoimmune disease whose cause is unknown and no advice/information is given from my treating doctor about the influence of lifestyle and diet on the manifestation of an autoimmune disease. Together with Laura, I looked at what I could do about it. Laura was good at explaining to me what I could improve, but also why. I would recommend anyone, with or without an autoimmune disease, to talk to Laura. After all, I learned a lot from her!”

Lisanne

“Since I started the treatment programme with Laura, I feel much better: I have a lot more energy and feel much fitter! Laura gives fine and expert guidance during the course. In addition, I feel the real cause of the complaints is being addressed. I am very happy with the approach and the result and I can definitely recommend it :)”

“Shortly after my first pregnancy, I was diagnosed with a rapidly functioning thyroid gland (Graves’ disease). As I did not believe in slowing/stopping the thyroid with medication, but wanted to know the cause so I could get back in balance, I ended up with Laura in my search. She helped me very much with the additional investigations and treatment plan. As a result, within six months my T3 and FT4 had dropped within the average. And the antibodies also dropped towards what they should be. With the combination of avoiding those food groups that were fuelling my immune system, as well as the lifestyle adjustment, my body is coming back into balance. Thank you Laura!”

W. Verver, 84 jaar

“The name Bodyswitch appealed to me and Dr Laura proved to be a good listener. My symptoms were understood and treated in a three times three-month treatment schedule. Now I am starting the final three-month phase, but feel much better than six months ago. I crawled out of the valley of losing energy, didn’t feel like doing anything and blamed myself for not getting anything done when there was plenty to do. Only now do I understand how far I had collapsed. My energy level has improved a lot now. I now visit the GP, skin doctor and rheumatologist at the hospital less.”

Maaike Eckhardt

“The contact with Laura has been very nice from the run-up to the first appointment to the aftercare. Laura is empathetic and so understanding. She has a holistic view and therefore includes all aspects in the conversation. She substantiates her opinions and advice and explains everything clearly. I am very happy to be in touch with Laura and to be able to approach her again when needed!”

Frank

“Within a week of starting the diet and supplements, the symptoms I was having (particularly a nagging abdominal pain throughout the day and a fluctuating stool pattern) were gone. Also, my energy has increased a lot since then”

Denise A.

“Since childhood, I have had intestinal problems. For years, my intestinal complaints have been solved with band-aids. With this, only my symptoms were treated, the cause was not investigated and no connections were made. And only now, in treatment with Laura, have I noticed a huge difference. The longer I am treated by her, the more my complaints disappear. Laura looks at the whole picture, all causes, and treats them all. No general solutions, but your own treatment plan. The course I’m on is a complete plan with a head and tail, an end goal! She not only tells you what to do, but also why. She explains and figures everything out super well and knows how to motivate you to break patterns and change. In between consultations, she even checks in, how are you doing now and what are you running into? She has opened my eyes to many things. There is so much online about healthy routines and nutrition, but it is always a bit of a grope in the dark. Laura is very knowledgeable and knows how to talk about it with passion. I am extremely glad I started this. My tummy has never felt so good! Laura looks at the whole picture and makes a complete, personalised treatment plan. My intestinal complaints are finally being tackled at the root cause. I noticed a very big difference very quickly!”

Laura Goedee

“Mainstream medicine often does not meet what I am looking for and often only examines ‘visible’ symptoms. Orthomolecular medicine focuses on the cause. I already feel so much improvement and have learned so much about my body since coming to Laura! Super happy with it and I recommend it to everyone!”

Marianne Peters

“For me, Laura is the dream natural doctor. I experience a lot of expertise with her. At the intake, she recommended a new supplement to me, which had a miraculous effect. As an interlocutor, she is calming, determined and light-hearted at the same time. In short, she inspires a lot of confidence and that is an important prerequisite for the recovery process.”
