Hi, I’m Dr. Samantha Durland, founder of Simple. We are a wellness company designed to help people find their best sense of self. I am board certified in anti-aging and regenerative medicine, as well as fellowship-trained in nutritional and metabolic medicine. Today, I’m going to talk about women in perimenopause. When we are born, our hormones are there for us – to maintain us. As we live our hormone values change. Particularly in women over the age of 35, they will start to notice changes as they enter into perimenopause. A lot of us may not realize that hormone changes go on for years before the actual cessation of menstrual flow. Many with these hormone changes experience an alteration in energy level, more issues with sleeping, increase body fat, as well as fatigue. This can greatly affect how one interacts with the world around her. But you can do something about it! You do not have to accept the change in the way that you feel. This is what we do. We take blood work and combine this with a comprehensive interview. We figure out a way to offset the changes your body is experiencing. We continue to monitor these changes as you age, because our body is dynamic. Our goal is always to help you feel like you are living your life – not merely surviving it.

Hi, I’m Dr. Samantha Durland, founder of Simple, a wellness company designed to help people be well. I have board certification in anti-aging and regenerative medicine as well as metabolic and nutritional medicine. And today, I want to talk about relationships. Specifically, I’d like to talk about how the physiology of your body impacts your relationships. Now love- relationships- require energy. Without energy, the love relationships do not flourish. If the pressures, tensions ,or demands of life are such that your energy level drops, then with that you will notice that your love relationship could suffer. The reason that your desire to express love diminishes is because your body is naturally defending you from things that take energy, so that you can survive. It’s actually that simple. Now, we all express love in four basic ways, or languages. There’s time, acts of service, physical touch, and words of affirmation. Now, for example, if an individual perceives physical touch as love, then if your partner stops touching you as much, you may perceive then that person does not love you anymore. But let’s contemplate this for a moment. Perhaps all that’s happening is that your mate is low on energy. The reason for that energy loss may be, for example, hormones, metabolic dysfunction, stress, and even more. One possible solution for this is just ask the body why it’s low on energy, then fix it. The energy is restored. So, here it’s simple. We asked the body, metabolically, what’s going on? We do blood work. We talk about your past life. We talk about your current life, and we listen. From here, we make a picture of how you got here and develop a comprehensive plan to help give the body back energy. And, in turn, restore your relationships. It in fact, can actually be that simple.

Weight Loss

 In the second episode of our new podcast series, Dr. Durland describes her approach to weight loss. Hi, I’m Sam. I’m founder of simple a wellness company that’s designed to help people find their best sense of self. Today, I’d like to talk to you about weight loss. This is a concerned that pretty much the majority of patients that I see come in and want to talk about but I think about it a little differently and I kind of want to walk you through that thought process because I think it really means something and it’s important to me that everyone understands. I want you again to go back and think about our symbol or symbol of the simple 7 which is the flower with you and the center and every Petal on that flower represents a different component of the seven things. So every time. I talk with a patient, I’m always thinking about that particular person as the center of their flower and the Seven Things surrounding them and I listened to their life and how they think and I start putting all of that into those categories and my mind. Now this is very important when you think about weight loss. Because when you think about the body the body is one of the most amazing things in this whole wide world. It has the power of nature inside of it and that body is built to protect the person within from the day. They’re created until the day they die. Now our body has been evolving over thousands of years and nature super amazing at what it does and it’s been refining its process for those thousands of years and it never does anything without purpose. Now nature wants us to be alive before it gives us a good day. That’s another rule of Nature and and if nature believes that then it wants you to survive. Now in nature it’s about if you can have a survival benefit, that’s a good thing and a survival benefit in nature is if you can survive longer with less. Now close your eyes and think about being in the cave where your body evolved with me for a little while. Now if outside all the water leaves all the animals leave and it gets really cold and frosty does it make sense for you to carry a lot of muscle and not have much fat? I would say that that totally makes absolutely no sense. Now the reason it makes no sense is because you will die sooner because you require a lot of calories to be alive. You see muscle burns calories. That doesn’t. Fat is a bank of energy that you can lay there and just kind of pull from everyday. So to Nature, fat is safe muscle is vulnerability. Now, we as human beings love to look in the mirror and see our muscle and reduce fat because it makes us have some sort of identity within ourselves, but nature sometimes is a different language. So to me when I see increased body fat and reduce muscle mass. I know that your beautiful body is trying to tell us something. So what I do is I listen to your story. We kind of run a diagnostic of labs and things so that your beautiful biological body can tell us what it’s doing and then I look back to the simple 7. And I try to figure out where maybe some things are off, but then really what I do is I focus on other areas of the petals of the circle that we could improve on because that is what speaks to your body because if your body thinks there’s a famine outside and we simply starve it and try to move it more. We will never win. To me, that’s why 90% of weight loss plans fail. Why because it’s not speaking what your body wants and guess what your b

New Podcast Series: An Introduction to Dr. Durland

 In the first episode in our new podcast series, Dr. Durland introduces herself and SIMPLE Wellness. Hi, I’m Sam. Sam I Am. I’ve always thought that’s really funny. Green eggs and ham Sam I Am I grew up reading that book and always thought somehow I related to it. But my full name is Samantha Durland and I’m here to talk to you about who I am and the company that we have founded called Simple. It’s a wellness company with many different aspects, but I thought it would be a good starting point for you to know a little bit about me and what our business is about and what the podcasts that are listed are geared towards. So I’m a girl that grew up in Kansas. I went to the University of Kansas as an undergraduate, and then I attended the University of Kansas Medical School and subsequently completed my first two years of residency In Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Iowa in Iowa City. I then had our first son and moved back home to Kansas City where I completed my residency at the University of Kansas. I now reside in Lawrence Kansas. We’ve lived here for over 16 years and for 14 years of it. I wasn’t employed physician and then found that I have a huge passion for wellness. I went back to school and I attained board certification in anti-aging and regenerative medicine and subsequently completed a fellowship in metabolic and nutritional medicine. So basically all those words just mean I’m a girl that loves to go to school. I’m a girl that loves the human body and I love to help people get better. I tell folks the first chapter of my medical career was an Obstetrics and Gynecology while my next chapter is in wellness. And if somebody has a GYN related issue no problem. We got that. I now care for all ages of both men and women focusing on helping the body be well. The business that we’ve created is called Simple. It’s a wellness company with several components because we found that it takes a village to help each individual be their best selves. The wellness answer is not the same for each person, but the variables that help us get there are actually very similar. We help folks put it all together the mental the physical the structural and then the functional aspects of well-being. We strive to help folks at Ain this in the most simple fashion possible. I tell folks all the time life is hard, but your body is actually very easy. After all we evolved in a cave. We Outlet the dinosaurs. Nature has already gotten this figured out. We just have to be mindful and listen to what it’s saying. I hope that as people listen to these podcasts they hear about the varying aspects of our company message. If anyone wants more information, feel free to visit our website, and we also have videos and blogs. What I found is that everyone needs a little something different and so as we talk about the spiritual the functional aspects of the human body. We also include workout tips stress relief tips eating tips and find that the underlying principle and all of this is that we want you to find Wellness in this crazy world in the simplest way possible. Nature is all about energy conservation. If the plan is to complex than it’s super hard to sustain. We believe that when you work in the way that nature works you are even more powerful as a being and so that’s who I am and who my company is in a nutshell. I hope that anyone listening gets a little something from all of us to find a better version of the
