What they doubted first

  • “Diane Gowen and her husband decided the investment was worth it because she desperately needed to feel better. She noted that the specialized testing provided insights she could never have received from a regular doctor.”Diane Gowen
  • “In my practice, before I started really using DesBio to its fullest, I found that I was repeating protocols over and over and over again.”Melissa Olson
  • “What may have prevented me initially is that everything is out of pocket, but I knew that going into it. I said to myself and to Cathy, 'what price do you put on your health?' I've been very happy and I don't mind paying the out of pocket costs.”Gregory and Cathy Bolin

Follow-up questions they answered

Can I improve my energy if I've had Hashimoto's for decades?

How does Dr. Amie Hornaman's coaching work for busy people?
Jennifer found the coaching sessions valuable because she could listen to Dr. Amie answer other participants' 'nitty-gritty' questions via earbuds while doing daily chores like dishes or driving. — Jennifer Sinnamon
Does Radiant Health Collaborative only use conventional medicine for menopause?
No. Jill Chmielewski noted that while she initially expected only conventional medicine, Heathar Parisi provides a holistic view that includes lifestyle changes, herbs, supplements, and Chinese medicine practices. — Jill Chmielewski
What is the patient experience like with Heathar Parisi?

Can Radiant Health Collaborative help with thyroid issues during menopause?
Yes. Jill specifically mentioned that Heathar helped her "dial in" and fine-tune her treatments for hypothyroidism, leading to better overall functioning. — Jill Chmielewski
