Hormone Therapy Reviews
Welcome to the hormone therapy reviews page, where success stories from valued clients who have experienced transformative journeys with Suzanne’s specialized hormone therapy treatments are shared.
Menopause
Menopause Client in her 50s
“Suzanne saved me! Menopause took me completely by surprise right when I was experiencing stress at work while transitioning to a new and larger role. I also was experiencing stress related to being a parent. I thought my physical and mental discomforts were completely related to my situation with work and home. When I got to Suzanne I was having tremendous anxiety from early in the morning through to early evening and lack of ability to sustain critical thinking. Suzanne was able to quickly assess what was situational and what were issues I was experiencing that were related to menopause. . . Within three weeks my anxiety was significantly reduced, I was able to think clearly, and I stopped waking up early…From there, working with Suzanne has helped me to feel better and better while learning more about how to navigate this change in my life. Today I feel healthy mentally and physically and know that Suzanne is there when needed!”
Menopause Client in her 50s
“I have been working with Suzanne for the past several months. I had been feeling so exhausted and worn out that I knew I needed to improve my health and energy levels. I had some testing done which showed my hormone levels were basically nonexistent ! No wonder I felt so terrible! I was referred to Suzanne and I am so glad that I met her! Over the past several months she has recommended dietary changes and supplements that have increased my energy level. She also recommended and prescribed dhea, pregnenolone and other hormones that have improved my health immensely! My sleep has improved along with my energy level and mood. And…no more brain fog! I look forward to continuing to work with her and feeling even better!! If you have a chance to work with Suzanne go for it!!”
Menopause Client in her 60s
“Suzanne really knows her job and offers a unique treatment. I started working with her at 59 and am now 60. Suzanne has fixed my hormones, including Thyroid, Estrogen and Progesterone, all of which need to be in balance for the treatment to work. Suzanne has helped me optimize my diet and nutrients and I have come to realize how much all these things work in harmony. She has also supported me through some specialized testing I requested and always goes out of her way to help me analyze what’s going on. She is attentive and responsive. I get responses to my emails within an hour typically. The biggest surprise: my hair has stopped shedding! I used get a handful of hair after my daily combing and now, there is almost no hair lost. Pretty amazing stuff. Hormones are powerful things.”
PERIMENOPAUSE
Perimenopause Client in her 40s
“Since I started seeing Suzanne a year ago, my energy, mood, sleep and skin have all improved tremendously! Suzanne treats the whole person, not just the symptom, and gets to the root cause of a problem. With her knowledgeable and compassionate help, I’ve been able to stop using ineffective prescription medications and live a more natural, less toxic lifestyle. I recommend Suzanne to all of my friends, as it’s not hyperbolic to say that she has changed my life!”
Perimenopause Client in her 50s
“Suzanne’s expert, comprehensive, and compassionate consultation informed and energized me to make practical changes to my daily self-care routines. In just three months, I see improved measures around my cholesterol levels and more. Suzanne is trained in Western medical practices as well as other, more global and practical approaches. She’s dedicated to assessing root cause for each individual and developing a treatment plan and options that are customized and all-inclusive. Her stellar listening and questioning skills, and the respect and dignity with which she treats all human beings regardless of age, race, sexual orientation, etc., make her a very rare caregiver. If you seek a true and committed partner in your own healthcare, who will enable your holistic health (e.g. physical, mental, emotional and beyond), I highly recommend Suzanne Elkind, CNM-APRN.”
Perimenopause Client in her 40s
“Suzanne is very thorough and takes the time to explain everything about the process of physiologic restoration therapy. She focuses on much more than just hormone imbalances and has addressed a number of underlying health conditions that I wasn’t aware of. I now have more energy, sleep better, have lost weight (after trying to lose without much success for the last few years), have stable emotions, and just feel overall better and younger!”
Perimenopause Client in her 40s
“She is very knowledgeable and has lots to share. Suzanne accepts feedback and appreciates open lines of communication. I’m grateful to have connected with her!”
Hormone Imbalance
Hormonal Imbalance Client
“Suzanne’s treatment goes beyond HRT, to the whole person. Suzanne knows that to help a person with a chronic illness, you need to look at many different body systems, correcting imbalances and restoring the whole body to optimal function so it can heal itself. I have Long Covid. When I found Suzanne, I was looking for HRT to smooth out hormonal changes that were making my symptoms worse. She helped me find exactly the right treatment to help my symptoms, but she wanted to look beyond that and really understand my illness from a systems perspective, testing blood markers, gut function, nutrition, and more. After months of dealing with specialists, emergency room doctors, and my own pcp, I finally found in Suzanne a professional to watch over my healing in a comprehensive way, put the pieces together and keep track of my care. Even on our first consultation call, I could hear that Suzanne listened to my ideas. Now I feel like I am exploring my mystery condition together with an expert, someone on my side. Her care management program is affordable, convenient over Zoom and easy to access. She is always responsive. When Suzanne felt that I needed help with a body system outside her specialty, she found a practitioner in that field, set up my appointment with them, and communicated about my care with them afterwards. She continues to research my condition, seeking out and sharing with me new information on my illness from a functional medicine perspective. With the help of Suzanne’s treatments and expertise, I have gone from being bed-bound to being able to travel for the holidays to visit my family and pets.”
cherylanne lafrance If anyone is having problems with fatigue, Hyperlipidemia(high cholesterol), Thyroid issues or are thinking about Bioidentical Hormone Therapy Suzanne Elkind APRN knows her stuff. As an RN BSN myself, I also like to know the science behind my issues and Suzanne’s patience and understanding goes above and beyond. Take the time in taking care of yourself and get in touch with her secretary Karen to make a better you. Your Worth It! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amy Heymans Suzanne is kind, interested, and takes the time to really get to know you. She does the testing to understand what’s really going on with your body and makes recommendations to improve your health. Since seeing Suzanne I have more energy, better sleep, and less anxiety and depression. Being in balance helps! Thank you Suzanne! Lynn Ellen Washburn Working with Suzanne these last few months has been wonderful. Suzanne is unbelievably knowledgeable and took time to make sure that our time together was well spent and productive. With natural supplementation, I was able to gain some control of the areas I was wanting to improve upon and I feel wonderful and supported!!! Thank you Suzanne for your kindness, your amazing research and knowledge. Tricia Boland Suzanne is amazing. I was not sleeping, had horrendous night sweats and zero energy for months and months. I was always dismissed with a "it's just hormones" and thought that this was just how I had to live. Suzanne actually listened to me and changed my life. These days I finally understand what people mean when they say they feel well-rested. I cannot say enough good things ! Chris Curran Suzanne is so knowledgeable about women's health. She is the first medical professional to truly help me with menopause, hormones and thyroid issues. She is very easy to talk to and she listens when I share symptoms and concerns while providing me with options on how to approach my health. She is always available to answer questions via email or text and responds on a timely basis. My health has improved greatly over the past year working with Suzanne. I am so glad I found her! Jackie CrawfordRoss FINALLY! A healthcare practitioner that listens! I was discouraged after going to multiple doctors and being told everything is "fine" when they barely spent 5 minutes with me and would not even follow up. Suzanne spends an hour with you, listens fully, and goes to great lengths to make sure you are operating at your best self. I cannot recommend her enough and wish everyone had a healthcare practitioner like Suzanne! Shana Barmoy She is very knowledgeable and has lots to share. Suzanne accepts feedback and appreciates open lines of communication. I'm grateful to have connected with her! Fabio Marcoccia Lifesaver.... this is my story. I found Suzanne after researching high and low online for alternative methods to help with my lupus. I have been dealing with Systemic lupus since I had my second child 15 years now. I knew something hormonally caused this major shift in my body and boom everything went downhill after that point. I had always dealt with thyroid issues since 20 years old (hoshimotos). I started loosing so much hair, exhaustion ruled my life literally, fogginess/forgetfulness became a daily issue. My lupus started getting increasingly worse weeks before my period like clockwork every month. As a Registered Nurse I knew there had to be more out there besides a lupus forum. Something was so wrong so very wrong and I wasn't going to settle for medications as an answer.... because they are not. After a lot of research something made me look into hormonal replacement.... I thought of Suzanne Somers and the book she put out. I researched hormone therapy and came across Suzanne Elkind's page. I reached out to receive a prompt response and I can say 7 months later and alot of work applied I can't believe I lived as long as I did without my current regime from Suzanne. All my friends ask who I see! I've never felt better with Lupus in my entirety of having the disease. I'm beyond grateful I found her and her dedication to my personal life! I am truly blessed. Best move I've have ever made. I have learned so much and look forward to a life long journey with my provider.! Michelle Silbert Suzanne is a very professional, knowledgeable, and personable holistic hormone practitioner. Thank your help zoning in on assessing and interpreting the keys labs that fit with my clinical symptoms and for help me better understand and manage the impact of stress, my diet, my hormones, and genetic factors on my overall health and sense of well-being.
