Heather Patel
Hormone Coach and FertilityCare Practitioner
My story is not uncommon…
I was in my late twenties, newly married, and trying to get pregnant with no success. I was acutely aware that I had been struggling for a long time with a range of symptoms: acne, PMS, moods, headaches, bloating, crippling fatigue… My symptoms were erratic. My doctor kept prescribing the pill, but our goal as a couple was to get pregnant! No one had any answers, nor did they appear to have any concern over the pain and confusion I was struggling with day-in and day-out.
I was growing tired—desperate even—of struggling through symptom after symptom, and was forced to look beyond the medical system to functional and natural medicine. I had to take a deep, honest look at my lifestyle; how I ate, drank, exercised and slept. I started working hard on areas that I knew I could do better at. Almost immediately I saw changes in my cycle, energy, mood and skin. I searched for trusted health care providers who helped me discover other culprits to my symptoms.
If you are struggling with symptoms like I was…
If you suspect a hormone imbalance or have unexplained symptoms like fatigue, insomnia, weight gain, PMS, mood swings, bloating, anxiety and depression - please know that there are ways to address these symptoms by making better sense of our lifestyle choices. Becoming a certified hormone coach and FertilityCare Practitioner has allowed me to guide other women with similar concerns and help them reach a higher health potential.
A natural antidote to infertility…
My boys were 8 months old when I traveled to California to complete an intensive program to become a Creighton FertilityCare Practitioner - the holistic science-backed method I used to naturally achieve pregnancy. Helping couples overcome their fertility challenges has been extremely rewarding - because it works! But it became clear that the biggest hurdle to them was finding allied doctors who support a holistic method to healing fertility. Many women were coming to me after failed IVF/IUI, or in frustration with the lack of answers when experiencing symptoms like PCOS, PMS, or infertility. By understanding their cycle and fixing their hormone imbalance with NaproTechnology (a natural treatment for balancing hormones), they were getting pregnant within a year or less.
Once they had experienced success with the FertilityCare method, their response was often: "Why wasn't I taught this? Why haven't I learned this before?". I started to look at holistic medicine certifications that best answered the PMS pandemic and how I could do more the help women understand the critical part our lifestyles play in supporting our hormones and overall well-being.
Educating women to prevent symptoms, preserve fertility and restore their hormone health is my passion…
It has become my firm conviction that there is a gap in health education. We need to reach a younger generation of women who also experience symptoms of hormone imbalance and are told it is "normal" to have PMS, pain, and various other symptoms that can be overcome by support for our body’s natural design.
I’ve undertaken the challenge of getting this vital information to young women at the beginning of their health journey, and have started working with high schools, colleges, parishes, and community groups to offer Health Awareness presentations that provide the foundational knowledge needed for men and women to preserve their overall health, hormones and fertility, with a science-backed, age-appropriate, and holistic body-affirming approach.
