Becky’s Story
“I’ve been working in women’s health since I was 23-years-old. I’ve always loved taking care of women, but this passion was bolstered when I had a hysterectomy at the age of 35. I was left with only a small portion of one ovary. This made me truly value the female body, and I wanted to do whatever I could to help every woman protect her body.
I’ve always been an advocate for hormone replacement therapy, and I knew that when it was necessary I would certainly become a patient. At 42 I started having hot flashes and night sweats: I mean 20-a-day take off my clothes hot flashes. I started taking traditional HRT immediately, but I didn’t see the results I expected. I was still tormented with hot flashes, night sweats, decreased energy, insomnia and low motivation. To top it all off, I became extremely anxious — and I’m a naturally calm person. I used traditional pills, patches and creams for 2 years with minimal to no relief.
I needed to try something new; I didn’t even know who I was anymore and neither did my family.
It was around this time that Dr. William West started using a bioidentical hormone therapy called “the pellets.” It was widely used across the mid and west coast, but no one on the east coast was providing the service. I made the trip to visit Dr. West. to try the pellets. He assured me that I would start to see relief, start to see myself in the mirror again. He was right!
In only eight days, my symptoms started to vanish. My hot flashes diminished. I slept through the night and woke feeling ready to start my day. That anxiety, which was never me, completely went away.
With a regained sense of energy and motivation, I took on weight loss (something that I was always very uncomfortable with). With hard work, positive diet changes, exercise, and pellets, I lost 50 pounds over only a year and a half. I don’t think any of it would have been possible without HRT.
I got my life back!
The major changes to my lifestyle inspired me to make a major change to my career. I wanted to focus on perimenopausal and menopausal females. I didn’t want a single woman to suffer the way I did. I gave up OB with a heavy heart, but believed that my new journey was where I was meant to be. I studied with Dr. Gino Tutero, the physician that brought pellets to the forefront for women, and became certified in menopausal therapies and pellet therapy. After that, I studied with Dr. West the man who changed my life in hopes that one day I could change the lives of others.
I am proud and happy to now be a part of Renewed Vitality. I can now not only treat hormonal imbalance but also care for all issues that can be associated with aging. I look forward to continuing my education in an effort to grow my practice for the better of all females struggling.
I still continue my pellet therapy today, 12 years later, and the positive effects never went away.”
