“It's like my brain is back. I can count on myself to find a word. I just did an interview, and I was like, 'Hallelujah.'”
“It's night and day from where I was when I went to see her first.”
“She's a fine tuner. She's gonna be like, 'Well, why don't you take a little bit more of this, a little bit less of that, and then we see how you do?'”
The interview
Who are you and what do you do for a living?
My name is Mick Kubiak. I live in California, and I am a psychotherapist, a writer, and a podcaster.
What was your life like before working with Heathar Parisi?
Before working with Heather, I was really a mess, to be honest. Perimenopause had hit. I was not sailing right through it. I was experiencing... the hardest part was losing my grasp on language, and, I mean, I'm a writer and a podcaster and a therapist, so I need my words, and I was really struggling to find words. I was dropping balls left and right around calendaring. I would miss an appointment. That just isn't... I just don't do that. My sex drive was gone. I wasn't sleeping well.
What is Heathar's approach to treatment?
Heather just has a level of experience, knowledge, intelligence, depth, where she really is looking at so many different factors, and she's a fine tuner. She's gonna be like, 'Well, why don't you take a little bit more of this, a little bit less of that, and then we see how you do?'
How does the patient experience at Radiant Health Collaborative compare to traditional medicine?
My doctor is like, I see her once a year, and unless something's dreadfully wrong, that's it. Whereas with Heather, you see her as often as you need to get things where you need them to be. So I feel really comfortable asking her questions, asking her for more. She always spends more than enough time with me in every session. I never feel, like, rushed out.
What are the most significant changes you have noticed since starting the program?
The number one thing that's changed is just this, I feel so much more confident about the aging process and menopause and what's ahead just because she helped me get to where I am now, which again, is just... It's night and day from where I was when I went to see her first. It really is confidence. It's like my brain is back. I can count on myself to find a word. I just did an interview, and I was like, 'Hallelujah,' 'cause there was a little fear, like, what if I can't think of the word? I'm here. I'm back.
Have you seen improvements in other areas like libido?
My sex drive, we're working on that, so that's another one of those things where it's like just feeling this good has meant the world to me. I feel great, but she's like, 'Well, let's recapture that sex drive,' and we're getting there. We're getting there, and I had a moment the other day where I was like, I'd forgotten about this feeling. This is exciting.
What would you say to someone considering Radiant Health Collaborative?
I highly recommend Radiant Health Collective and Heather. If you're feeling like you're just lost out there in the fog, you don't remember who you are anymore... you need to go see Heather. You need to go to Radiant Health Collective and get them to give you this highly individualized program to restore you to your highest functioning self. There's no reason for you not to feel as good as you've ever felt.
