Follow-up questions they answered

Can hormone therapy help with perimenopause brain fog and word-finding issues?
Yes, Mick Kubiak reported that before working with Heathar, she was losing her grasp on language and struggling to find words as a writer and podcaster. After starting the program, she stated, 'My brain is back. I can count on myself to find a word.' — Mick Kubiak
How does Radiant Health Collaborative differ from a standard primary care doctor?
Mick noted that while her regular doctor only sees her once a year unless something is 'dreadfully wrong,' Heathar Parisi provides frequent sessions and spends 'more than enough time' to fine-tune protocols based on specific needs. — Mick Kubiak
Is it possible to feel like yourself again during menopause?
Mick Kubiak emphasizes that Radiant Health Collaborative rejects the idea that feeling poorly is just a 'new life' in menopause. She credits the individualized program for restoring her to her 'highest functioning self.' — Mick Kubiak
Can I avoid insulin to keep my pilot's license?
David DeRoos initially tried to avoid insulin to maintain his private pilot's license due to FAA policies at the time. However, after his weight dropped to 140 pounds at 5'11", he realized he needed insulin to stabilize his health. — David DeRoos
What should I do if I have no energy despite managing my diabetes?
When David hit a wall at age 55 with no energy, Dr. Rangi performed advanced testing. She identified and treated underlying low vitamin D, low thyroid, and low testosterone, which David says made him feel like a 'new man' within six months. — David DeRoos
Is it possible to travel internationally with long-term diabetes?
Yes, David DeRoos reports that under Dr. Rangi's care, he has completed 10 annual trips to Kathmandu, Nepal. He maintains the physical capacity to be ambulatory, walk through airports, and carry heavy bags at age 71. — David DeRoos
