I meanisn’t that what insurance is all about;making sure you and your family areprotected should an accident occur?

Following in the footsteps of hisfather, Ryan opened GreatFlorida In-surance’s Westchase office as a way tohelp people in his community stayprotected in times of need. Ryan says,“Insurance was something that alwaysinterested me, and I wanted to dosomething that I could have a mentorwith. My dad being in insurance, itwas a natural fit. Insurance is some-thing that protects everything that youown and work hard for and I reallyenjoy helping my clients to understandit better. A lot of people don’t knowwhat their policy means, and I aim tochange that. If I can shed insight and

make things more understandablethan I have done my job.”

Conveniently located in theWestchase Town Center at 9640 WestLinebaugh Avenue in Tampa, Great-Florida Insurance Westchase is yourlocal source for homeowners, auto,boat, motorcycle, renters, commercialand umbrella insurance coverage.

Ryan runs his office alongside in-surance agent Lori Padro, who special-izes in residential coverage. With over20 years of experience as an insuranceagent in the Tampa Bay area, Lori hasa wealth of knowledge when it comesto insurance, helping her to expertlyfind her clients the best possible cover-age at the best rate.

When talking about the safety

and security of both you and yourfamily, having the backing of a rep-utable, well-established company isvery significant, and GreatFlorida In-surance is just that. With hundreds ofoffices statewide, for over 25 yearsGreatFlorida Insurance has helpedtheir customers save money on theirinsurance policies.

I have the support of a hugecompany, while being able to give mycustomers the individualized attentionthey deserve.”

As an insurance broker, Great-

Florida Insurance gives their cus-tomers options. Customers are notstuck going with insurance from a sin-gle company. Instead, Ryan and Lorishop around with multiple companiesin order to find the most suitable cov-erage for your lifestyle and budget.

“We are independent, so we canbroker with as many companies as wewant and the companies that wechoose to do business with are all veryreputable companies,” says Ryan. “Weshop their insurance with multiple

Tampa Rejuvenation - “Your Health Our Passion”By Matthew Selby

Let’s face it, getting older has thisawful little side effect of aging yourbody. As hormones deplete, our skinbegins to sag and wrinkle, our sexdrive declines, we gain unexplainedweight, we have sleep issues, and ourdrive for life lessens. We cannot con-trol time as it passes each day, but withadvancements in technology and med-ical research, we now can slow downthe negative effects of the agingprocess in a safe and very effective way.

Tampa Rejuvenation, with its clos-est of 4 clinics located at 13648 WestHillsborough Ave. in Tampa, separatesthemselves with their integrative ap-proach to medicine. The physicians atTampa Rejuvenation let their work andhappy customer testimonials speak forthemselves.

Patient Nancy H. writes, “TampaRejuvenation helped me lose a veryneeded 30 pounds! My primary doc-tor was very impressed that I am nowmuch healthier and no longer a dia-betic risk. The HCG diet is healthy,safe and fast. The staff is great! Theyare all knowledgeable, courteous andhelpful (the Doctor, the Nutritionist,

medical assistants, counselors, officeadministrators). They monitor every-thing from beginning to end and willhelp at any time. I have also nowlearned how to eat healthier. Betweenthis and the diet, I will be keeping theweight off. I feel so much better,healthier and confident. It was one ofthe best things I've done!”

The staff at Tampa Rejuvenation isdetail-oriented and patient-specific intheir treatment – it’s not cookie cuttermedicine. The science is out there; thetreatment is available; but finding theright physicians for you can make allthe difference in the world.

The physicians at Tampa Rejuve-nation are unique – they left the mod-ern tunnel-vision style of medicinebehind. They understand that manytimes conventional medicine is de-signed by “BIG-PHARMA“ to relievesymptoms and sometimes only masksthose symptoms to make them bear-able. I don’t know about you, but Isure don’t want to settle for just bear-able symptoms of anything.

At Tampa Rejuvenation thephysicians honed in their skills withonly one goal in mind – to fix theproblem, not hide it. While interview-

ing the founder of Tampa Rejuvena-tion, Brett Markowitz, the simplepremise of going to sleep each nightand feeling good about what his teamwas doing is clearly at the forefront ofhis business goals and morals. He andhis staff are passionate about their pa-tients and seeing improvements intheir health. It’s clearly somethingthey refuse to waiver from.

Since each patient is different,with their expertise in this field of in-tegrative medicine of anti-aging, thephysicians not only focus on the lab

work, but they listen to symptoms andfocus on their goals when designing acustomized treatment plan using bioidentical hormones and treatingweight issues.

The physicians at Tampa Rejuve-nation focus more on quality thanquantity; they want a patient commit-ted to their health; not a patient that isjust interested in taking a magic pill andhas unrealistic expectations – that’s afantasy. The reality is it has to be acomplete change in lifestyle. That’swhy the physicians at Tampa Rejuvena-


tion devised their year-long 4-DLongevity Plan (D-Diet “Lose up to20lbs in 30days”, D-Daily Hormones“Focus on speeding up the metabolismand slowing the aging process”, D-Detox “Rid toxins from the body, andfind out what foods are not right foryou”, D-DNA Test “Designed to findwhat diet is best for your body longterm based upon your DNA”).

If you've tried at least three timesto lose weight and struggle to keep itoff, only to find yourself right back to

where youstarted, or ifyou're one ofthose peoplewho exerciseregularly only tofind the samescale readingday in and dayout, you are aperfect candi-date for TampaRejuvenationand their 4-DLongevity Plan.

Tampa Re-juvenation hasmultiple physi-cians, each withtheir ownunique personal-

ity and extensive education and experi-ence. With a number of physicians tochoose from, Tampa Rejuvenation willassign the perfect physician based onthe patient’s needs.

Johanna deVryer M.D. is one ofthe founders and has been around 8years, leading the company’s successfulgrowth because of the number of pa-tients’ lives she has changed. She’sBoard Certified in internal medicineand has her fellowship in anti-aging.Dr. deVryer’s primary offices of care

are the New Tampa and South Tampalocations.

Kent Beams, M.D. is anothertalented doctor at Tampa Rejuvena-tion. He is Board Certified in Anti-Aging/Regenerative Medicine, as wellas Venous and Lymphatic Medicine.He was also trained by “SottoPelle”,which is basically the “Rolls Royce” ofpellet therapy. Dr. Beams brings alongwith him a wealth of information andexperience in the gastro side (gut/stomach) of medicine as well. Hefirmly believes health and healing allstarts in the gut.

Caroline Lomboy D.O., is an-other one of Tampa Rejuvenation’samazing Physicians. She is a Diplomatof Osteopathic National Boards, is aBoard Certified Medical Review Offi-cer and Board Certified in Anti-Aging/Regenerative Medicine. Her holisticbut medical sound approach, com-bined with her soft and genuine heartfor each patient, makes her one of thebest in the Tampa Bay Area.

Tampa Rejuvenation’sNewest Team Member

Natasha Daza Williams is anAdvanced Registered Nurse Practi-tioner and is trained in Anti-Aging /Regenerative Medicine. She is passion-ate about each patient’s experience ateach visit.

4-D Longevity PlanTampa Rejuvenation Wellness

Center’s physicians believe in what theycall a “4D Longevity” plan. The 4 D’sconsist of DIET, DAILY HOR-MONES, your unique DNA, andDETOX. If you follow this plan, you'regoing to be successful. It’s that easy.

The Diet is specially designed foreach patient individually based upontheir DNA. The physicians run bloodwork on the patient to determine whatkind of diet works best for their ge-netic makeup. It’s science at work for

you, and it really is incredible. It takesthe “fad” diets and the guessing out ofthe equation. You finally find out whatfoods you need to eat for your specificbody. You can even find out whatfoods to completely stay away fromdue to allergies and sensitivities youmay not even know you had. Thedaily hormone aspect of this plan issimple. You don’t need to take abunch of pills, injections or topicalmedications anymore. Your hormonetherapy is only once every 3-6 months(depending on whether you are maleor female) via bio-identical hormonepellets inserted into the fat just belowthe skin. It’s virtually painless andtakes only a few minutes.

What are the benefits ofHormone Therapy?

Increase Lean Muscle Mass Decrease Body Fat Increase Sexual Function Reduce WrinklesDecrease Cardiovascular Risk Restore Energy & Vitality Improve Well-Being & Mood

Life causes stress and stress causes,well…..nothing good. No matter whatyour age, if you just don’t feel likeyourself and are looking to run at yourmost optimal level, come in for a no-cost evaluation.
