“After being treated over and over again for what I thought was a chronic yeast infection, I finally got referred to Heidi. It turned out that hormone changes of menopause were causing my skin to be much more sensitive. Since starting vaginal estrogen, I am a new woman! Sex doesn’t hurt anymore, and I am just more comfortable. I didn’t realize that it would also help with the incontinence I’ve had since my last baby was born. I am so grateful that I finally got the treatment I needed.” — MARIA M.
“With a family history of breast cancer, I wanted to be sure that I was aware of preventive health strategies even before menopause. I met with Heidi, and she helped to pinpoint specific health risks. Then together we made a plan for ongoing screening, diet, exercise, and even some herbs and supplements that could be helpful. I feel much more confident now that I am being proactive about my health.” — DIANA P.
“I know that some women just sail through menopause, but that was not me. I thought I was going out of my mind. . . hot flashes, night sweats, no sleep. My family didn’t understand why I was so irritable, and neither did I! Heidi helped me understand why I was not feeling like myself and the options I had to help with these changes. Now I am taking bioidentical hormone therapy, and also have supplements that help support my body to make this transition much smoother. I am sleeping so much better now and have more energy for exercise and family.” — LINDSAY M.
“After struggling through menopause for years, I learned that Heidi Biegel, my former midwife from almost 20 years ago, has become a menopause consultant in the next phase of her career in women’s health. I turned to Heidi for advice about Hormone Replacement Therapy and preventive measures to take for bone health due to family history. She provided me with a plethora of excellent resources (podcasts, articles, websites) to educate myself. Like many women, I had very little information before the consultation. She educated me on how to find a good menopause provider in my state, and I now have a doctor who is current on the latest research and with whom I can talk openly about my symptoms. Consulting with Heidi has been a turning point in this phase of life, and I feel so fortunate to have reconnected with her.” — LISA C.
