About Eagle's Wing Medical

Dr. Paul Glanville has had the privilege of practicing family medicine for over 44 years. He received his medical school degree from University of Wisconsin, Madison in 1972 and did his internship at Medical College of Virginia in Richmond, Virginia in 1972-73. He moved to Colorado in 2006, became board-certified in family practice and was medical director of Basin Clinic in Naturita until 2009.

In 2007 Dr. Glanville realized that he was not “aging” very well and began looking into “healthy aging”, first researching adrenal dysfunction, low thyroid that is commonly missed by traditional Western medicine and toxic metals. Then in 2008 he found out about bio-identical hormones and was astounded at how they helped improve his own health. He started practicing integrative medicine in 2008 and has been in practice in Ridgway since then.

Dr. Glanville is passionate about helping aging people get healthy again and stay healthy to have an active, joyful live and be an important part of the world community again.  He believes too many “elderly” are “put out to pasture” which speeds up the lingering, miserable slow decline of their life that continues for the next 30 years! He believes elderly people can and should have a longer, healthier life past the usual “retirement” time – they can be active leaders in their community, adding back to others’ lives for decades.

A lot of his inspiration comes from his wonderful wife, La Vonne, whom he met in February 2006 and married in November 2006. His other passions are scuba diving (and underwater photography), downhill and cross-country skiing, hiking, Cross-Fit exercise, and woodworking (among other things).

Special Interests of Dr. Glanville:
  • Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy – PMS, menopause, Andropause (“male menopause”).  I aim for optimal levels of when people were in their “prime” – I do NOT give excess hormones like many body-builders or athletes take.  Studies done on people using properly balanced bio-identical hormones show a decreased risk of heart attack, stroke, Alzheimer’s, and most cancers for men and women.
  • Diagnosis and Treatment of Thyroid Disorders where lab tests might be normal – some call this “sub-clinical hypothyroidism.”  There is also something called “Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome” that is some form of low thyroid system function.  I am certified by WTS in the treatment of that disorder.
  • Toxic Metal Assessment and Therapy (mercury, lead, arsenic, aluminum, cadmium, etc.).  One of the most common underlying causes of low hormones (especially growth hormone) is toxic metals.
  • Adrenal Function assessment and therapy.
  • Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) – cessation of breathing during sleep usually from partial obstruction (marked by snoring).  This is extremely dangerous and unhealthy, effecting adrenal glands and normal release of a person’s natural Growth Hormone.
  • Healthy Aging (also sometimes called “preventing the diseases of aging” or “anti-aging medicine”).  The goal of “anti-aging” doctors is to optimize the time in “elder age” of vibrant, active, joyful, productive years.  Typically as people age now, they become more and more ill and less active with a marked decrease in quality lifestyle.
  • Growth Hormone – GH in adults should really be called “immune support” and “body repair” hormone.  I do not in general use injectable GH (it is legal contrary to popular opinion).  The largest normal natural release of GH occurs during stages 3 and 4 of sleep, so I look for problems of sleep including obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep apnea (which is extremely common) and I encourage the kind of exercise that promotes release of GH.  And optimizing testosterone in men and women helps increase levels of GH.
  • Exercise.
  • Medicinal Uses of Marijuana that do not cause “highs” or “buzzes” – the proper use of marijuana to maximize the healthy chemicals available and minimize the unhealthy.
  • Traumatic Brain Injury.  It is now known that even mild concussions can cause mild to profound pituitary dysfunction leading to dysfunction of almost any gland/hormone – the most common deficiency is in growth hormone and optimizing that can help recovery greatly.
  • Patient Education – this is of utmost importance in almost every problem.
