It is so refreshing and empowering as a woman to see a nonprofit that focuses on the wellness of women through testing, education and understanding your body from the inside out. Knowledge about your body and how hormones effect it should be a right for all women regardless of income. H.E.R. for Women is helping to create the next generation of educated and empowered individuals.
Having access to the right lab tests so I can figure out what is wrong with my health is a game changer. Now I am in control of my health and feel amazing!
After being diagnosed with hypothyroidism at 16 and not getting better with medication and conventional treatments, I started looking for answers. Google searching, reading peer-reviewed journals, and blogs gave me a lot of information that helped me feel better and support my body but didn't completely resolve my issues.
I had gone as far as I could go and needed outside expertise and support. That's where functional testing came in. These tests gave me more information about what was happening in my body and helped me identify the root cause and identify what my body needed so I could feel better.
I finally feel like I am me again and am so grateful I had access to functional tests and the resources I needed.
I wish I had known about this non-profit when I was struggling with my hormone health.
I was swept under the carpet and told I was just aging.
After finding the right the right lab tests I was able to get my thyroid hormones, digestion, sex hormones and insulin hormones under control.
All our hormones are interrelated and having the right lab tests and health coach guide you through the process is life changing.
I am back to having endless energy and living a big, beautiful, active life.

Having access to the right lab tests and resources has changed my life/health as a mom and wife because I finally understood why I was so tired irritable and struggling to think. I finally validated and heard rather than being told I was anxious or "normal' Then it gave me insight into how to help me think, have more energy and be able to better connect with my kids and husband, It also gave the ability to help my physical therapy patients and also start a woman ran small business to help other women fell better to!! The mission of this non for profit is HUGE!! It can change not only a woman's life but also make a huge impact on her family and community!
I'm in full support of this non-profit!!
All too often women just settle for the list of overwhelming symptoms and a feeling of discomfort within their bodies.
This non-profit will encourage women to dig deeper and get the support they deserve to uncover the hidden stressors that are holding them back from optimal health!
This could be a complete game-charger for those that typically couldn't afford these services.

After years of feeling awful, yet being told I was "the picture of health" according to my blood work, i FINALLY found someone to run the right labs, helping me reclaim my life. I balanced my hormones, lost my anxiety and finally increased my energy allowing me to drop some stubborn pounds. The right labs and thinking outside the box, improved my quality of life more than I can express. I am forever grateful.
I had a postpartum hemorrhage immediately after my son was born, resulting in my hormones being disrupted to the extent that without the intervention of holistic/functional approaches I would still be in debilitating pain and constant fatigue. The help of natural and bio-identical hormones has given me my life back and allowed me to be the mom and spouse I’ve always wanted to be. This gift should be available to all women and it is imperative we have better channels of communication to educate and empower women to take control of their health and their hormones.
As a life-long competitive athlete, I ate healthy and exercised regularly. However, I still struggled with fatigue, chronic migraines (3-5x a week), insomnia, and anxiety. I spent years trying different strategies to address these things with only some success. It wasn't until I got my hands on the right functional lab tests did I realize the true root cause of these issues. I finally knew how to address what was going on and in a matter of months, everything changed. I'm 41 years old and I feel exponentially better than I did at 31, I have energy that lasts all day, I sleep well, and I haven't had a migraine in years. Getting access to the right labs has been a game changer.
I struggled for years with well-intentioned nutritionists and health coaches to help me with my health concerns. It wasn’t until I got my hands on the right lab tests that I felt confident that what I was doing was actually working for me. The lab results helped me understand why I felt like something was off. I loved tracking my progress in building health from the inside out and learning how to support my hormones so that I could feel young and energized again! I’m so excited that this organization is focused on educating women and providing them exactly what they need to feel strong and empowered again.
Having access to functional labs is very important. When I ended up with Breast Cancer helped me make some decisions that helped me move forward in my health. I could make better decisions for me
Getting access to the right functional lab tests and resources helped me not only understand my hormones better but completely turned my life around! As I approach 40 and beyond I'm in better health than ever before and I understand my body like never before. This wouldn't have been possible without the types of hormone education and resources that this organization is now on a mission to provide to all women. Women deserve to feel like their best selves.
