Q. McManus, M.D.
Founder
Dr. McManus was
voted Best Doctor in The Woodlands 2010 and 2011
in the
category of Bariatrics and Weight Control!
Dr.
Mila McManus graduated at the top of
her class from the
University of
Texas Health Science Center in
Houston in 2000, completed her residency
training at
Christus St. Joseph in downtown
Houston in 2003, and is
Board Certified in Family Medicine. Dr. McManus has always had a
special interest in preventive medicine, but it wasn't until her
interest in alternative and complimentary therapies became personal that
she decided to leave her private practice to specialize in the treatment
of hormonal imbalance. She not only began suffering with fatigue,
weight gain, headaches, PMS symptoms, severe allergic symptoms, and
trouble concentrating herself, but also noticed a disturbing trend in
the number of patients presenting to clinic with similar complaints.
Routine exams and bloodwork were failing to reveal an underlying
etiology for her patients' symptoms as well as her own. Dr.
McManus went in search of answers and discovered that there are
simple, practical, and studied ways of treating the underlying causes of
many common health problems. She became certified by the
American Academy
of Biologically Identical Hormone
Therapy in 2004. As she began trying to
incorporate wellness into her traditional medical practice, she realized
that her passion was using hormonal balance and lifestyle changes,
rather than typical and generally ineffective prescription drugs, to
treat problems such as depression, fatigue, weight gain, low libido,
trouble concentrating, PMS, headaches, high cholesterol, fibromyalgia,
and sleep disorders. In January 2005, she made the decision to
focus 100% of her time on
The Woodlands Institute for Health & Wellness.
