I was having a discussion with one of my clients when Wendy's name came up. She came highly recommend as an expert on Women's issues. This piqued my curiosity since over the years I had been having a lot of health issues. Not all at once but gradually over time until one day you just feel like your trapped in a 100 year old body. I was afraid it might be early menopause since it just seemed like I wasn't myself anymore. Lately I had been feeling - dog tired - trouble focusing - COLD all the time (even in the summer in Cali) - lots of body aches (felt like I was falling apart) - still losing my eyebrows and my hair is not a thick as it use to be I have hypothyroidism and was diagnosed 16 years ago.
I have been on medication ever since, but it certainly wasn't treating the cold symptoms that were getting worse. I was wearing sweaters in the summer because I got cold so easily. At the first appt, Wendy did a very thorough background investigation. We spoke for a full hour! I'm so use to 10-15 min appts that a full hour felt like forever. Unbelievable how much history we covered in an hour (but I also had a list of my symptoms because I wanted to make sure we covered them all).
She asked a lot of questions and took a lot of notes. She felt like I may have Hashimoto's and wanted to do some testing to confirm or rule it out. She also ran a lot of other test after telling me about each one and why she wanted to run it. Turns out she was right on the money. I wasn't in pre-menopause. Thank goodness but I did test way out of range for thyroid antibodies which indicates Hashimotos.
She gave me some great resource to read more about it if I was interested and she put me on T3 which has made a MASSIVE difference. My energy is back, I'm no longer freezing all the time (and I was actually able to wear summer cloths this past summer), body aches have diminished (along with not eating anymore gluten which is a trigger for a lot of people with Hashimotos).
Not sure the hair will come back but if it just stops thinning that would be nice. I went from feeling like I was trapped in a 100 year old, to feeling like myself again. I really didn't expect all the issues were from the same disease. I just thought my body was breaking down and much faster then I should have and everything was going wrong.
Thanks so much to Wendy for listening and for running tests that take a deeper dive to find the root cause. I don't like to think about where I would be without her knowledge and experience (I would still be a wreck). And also a special thanks to Michelle (office manager) who is always so warm, friendly and on the ball.

I've been a patient of Wendy's for 14 years and couldn't be happier. I've seen Wendy for accupuncture as well as Women's Health issues. She's pretty much the only medical person I see. When my 39 year old daughter couldn't conceive, I recommended Wendy and within 90 days she was pregnant and had a healthy now 8 year old daughter with no invasive treatments, hormone overload or dangerous side effects or long term health problems which would have been the case with the treatment her traditional Ob recommended. It takes 90 days to get an appt. so call early.
