Welcome
Dr. Angela LaSalle's practice includes treatment and evaluation of hormonal issues related to thyroid, metabolic syndrome and bio-identical hormone replacement. A strong believer that inflammation is the underlying cause of many diseases, she also incorporates nutritional supplementation and stress management into her treatment arsenal.
Dr. LaSalle recently joined the clinical staff at the Indiana Health Group (IHG) in Carmel, Indiana. Established in 1987, Indiana Health Group has been recognized as one of the premier behavioral healthcare practices in the Midwest. Their highly trained staff of psychiatrists, psychologists, licensed clinical social workers, physician assistants, and advanced practice nurses treat a wide variety of behavioral health issues in children, adolescents, adults, and geriatric patients.
Dr. LaSalle brings a multidisciplinary approach and more comprehensive therapies to patients with mood and concentration issues, hormonal imbalances and metabolic or nutritional issues. "Treatment of mood and concentration problems with the appropriate medications is vital, but we also need to rule out underlying hormonal and metabolic issues to optimize our patient's response to therapy," states Dr. LaSalle. "We cannot underestimate the effect of nutrition and hormones on the brain chemistry. The body cannot make neurotransmitters without the appropriate building blocks".
Dr. Chris Bojrab, president of IHG, is excited about Dr. LaSalle's services. "Over the past five to ten years, we have developed a much greater understanding of the relationship between psychiatric conditions, hormonal activity, inflammation, and immune system function. We are very excited to be able to offer our patients both comprehensive evaluation and cutting-edge, integrated treatment options. We believe that this approach will provide our patients with the best chance of optimizing both their physical and mental health".
A graduate of Indiana University School of Medicine, Dr. LaSalle is board certified in Family Medicine with a fellowship in Integrative Medicine through the University of Arizona, a program founded by Andrew Weil, M.D. Hailing from Fort Wayne, IN, Dr. LaSalle's focus has been in the field of Endocrinology, with special emphasis on the interplay of hormones, nutrition and lifestyle on the balance of the neurotransmitters and the immune system. She is the winner of Fort Wayne Newspaper's 2009 Readers Choice for General Practice Doctor's Office and the 2008 Readers Choice award for Best Physician. Dr. LaSalle brings her practice from Fort Wayne to the Indianapolis metropolitan area to expand the delivery of Integrative Medicine services to Indiana and Midwest residents.
