The interview
What led you to seek out Dr. Beverly Yates?
I went to my cardiologist and did an echocardiogram that showed that I needed to get an aortic valve replacement. And so, I have a team of doctors—my primary, my cardiologist—but I needed a naturopath doctor to complete that team for me. In 2023, echocardiograms showed that it was time to replace it, and that's when I reached out to Dr. Beverly.
How did Dr. Beverly assist you with your surgery?
She was a huge help in helping me to build up my body to get the surgery. And actually my recovery was really, really good. I loved working with her. She was full of great advice, always responsive, always caring, and always ready to help me solve whatever question or problem that I had.
How do you feel now, a year and a half after the procedure?
A year and a half after the surgery and I feel like I'm 100%. You know, I'm grateful to her and all the help that she gave me. It was amazing.
What surprised you most about working with her?
What surprised me the most about Dr. Beverly is her knowledge about heart health. I would send her reports from my cardiologist and she knew what the report was talking about and could educate me more about what it means to me and how I might heal. I really trusted that she knew what she was talking about.
How has your health management changed since working with her?
After working with Dr. Beverly now I really do pay attention to my numbers. My cholesterol numbers, my A1C numbers. And what I really love is that she turned me on to this program. It's a five-day fasting mimicking program where it resets your body at the cellular level. And so that helps to keep all my numbers good and especially my cholesterol numbers.
What is Dr. Beverly's approach to patient education?
She explains it at a level that you're like 'okay, I get it.' She will nurture you, she will guide you, she will explain to you. She will give you what you need as far as supplements and additional information so you can deepen your understanding. She never just gives you something and doesn't tell you what it is, why it is, or how it is.
