Testimonials

Following my partial hysterectomy in 2003, I spent several years suffering with depresssion, melancholy mood swings, anxiety and extreme lack of mental clarity. Some days I felt suicidal because I could not grasp what had happened to my life, and had no idea how to regain the energetic life loving person I had previously perceived myself to be.  Antidepressents  were not  relieving my symptoms, and in hindsight I believe they might have contributed to the mood swings I was experiencing. I heard about hormone pellet therapy from a girl friend and immediately started researching a doctor in my area that might be able to help me. Once I located Dr. Retzler, and shared my experience with her, she educated me about the possible physiological processes that were likely taking place within my body and helped me understand options for treatment. Following my pellet implants and appropriate dosage of thyroid medication, I felt like I was getting my life back. Within three weeks I  felt like a new person and the improvements in my health have continued . Since beginning the pellet implants over a year and a half ago, my symptoms have been releived. In adiditon, I have a libido again and my skin is healthier. My experience with Dr. Retzler has been entirely positive. Two of my closest friends have now seen Dr. Retzler and they too are feeling wonderful!

"For seven years I set goals to get fit and lose weight only to gain weight and lose endurance. Ironically, the year I gave up on fitness is the year I met Dr. Retzler and began hormone replacement. Two weeks after my first treatment I was working out six days a week. After six months I had lost 20 pounds and turned my fitness clock back 20 years. What I assumed was laziness turned out to be hormones! Now I'm fit, healthier and did not experience my typical winter depression. It's great to work with Dr. Retzler who is knowledgeable and loves her work."

"Shortly after my 42nd birthday, I began to notice some disturbing changes in how I felt and looked. I was sleeping terribly, my hair and skin were drier, and I was getting noticably fatter despite dieting and daily exercise. I experienced frequent hot flashes, felt exhausted much of the time, had trouble focusing and was generally depressed. In short, I looked and felt older than 42. While in the throes of a hot flash, a co-worker suggested I check out a seminar that Dr. Retzler was giving in a couple of weeks. After the seminar, I was tested and found to have a fatigued metabolism and abysmally low levels of testosterone. Once I received a testosterone pellet and began a regime of supplements prescribed by Dr. Retzler, I started to feel better, sleep sounder and more easily focus mentally. At the same time, I began exercising more and adhering to a simpler diet. The result: I lost 15 pounds. I am impressed with how Dr. Retzler seems passionately invested in my well-being. She is interested in far more than just treating my hormone issues; she truly seeks to all my issues. She has help from husband and fellow clinician, hynotherapist Daniel Soule, who is helping me address the tough lifelong mental obstacles that have kept me from reaching my full potential. I am admittedly not at my full potential yet. But as I journey toward physical, mental and spiritual wellness, I am gratified to have Dr. Retzler and Daniel Soule as resources."

"After 5 years of working with my family physician, being told that all tests were within “normal limits” and my only two choices for coping with menopausal symptoms were anti-depressants and birth control pills, Dr. Retzler is my miracle worker. To put it simply: She listened. She combined lab report data with my stated symptoms and offered real answers. I went home knowing I was not crazy and within a week my life began to turn around. I am a newer, better version of myself thanks to Dr. Retzler’s sophisticated hormone knowledge and easy to follow protocols. I’ve made it my personal mission to teach everyone I know the power of hormones and send them to Laurelhurst Integrative Health for the latest strategies in optimal living!"
