Heidi is a dual-certified family medicine and adult gerontology acute care nurse practitioner with over two decades of experience in internal medicine, critical care, emergency services and orthopedics. Her extensive background in inpatient management of acute illnesses and injuries, coupled with her volunteer work with emergency medical services and free clinics, has given her a well-rounded perspective on her patients’ health. She also understands how available resources, or their absence, can significantly affect individual wellness in both rural and urban communities.
Heidi’s personal experience with a medical condition that resulted in an endocrine dysfunction drove her to explore other approaches to medical evaluation and management of her condition when specialists couldn’t identify the primary cause of her physical decline. She discovered that her condition was rooted in a deficiency of testosterone and became a Biote patient herself. Normalizing her hormone levels has not only allowed her to regain her previous level of physical function but has also significantly improved her overall quality of life.
Her dedication as a healthcare provider revolves around treating the whole patient, taking into account how their condition or symptoms relate to their physical, mental, and environmental aspects. This commitment is reflected in the name of her clinic: Holos Health and Wellness.
As a provider, Heidi is passionate about assisting others in identifying deficits in their hormones or addressing any other factors negatively impacting their well-being. She offers her patients hormone therapy while guiding them toward the best next steps to maximize their quality of life. Heidi offers medical guidance and support for patients and their primary care providers in partnership. Her recommendations are derived from a blend of eastern and western medicine and vary according to each patient’s unique needs and wellness goals. Heidi’s dedication to holistic care and her personal journey makes her a compassionate and knowledgeable healthcare partner for those seeking improved health and vitality.
