Where surgery ends, whole-body care begins.

The gap

When patients stay stuck.

You’ve had the patient whose excision went well — clean pathology, textbook surgery — who is back six months later with the same pain. Or the one who isn’t a surgical candidate and needs more than another script for birth control. That’s where I come in: the inflammatory component, gut-immune interactions, central sensitization, and the hormonal picture — the systemic factors a 15-minute follow-up can’t reach.

I also work with patients before surgery. Optimizing inflammation, hormones, and the nervous system pre-operatively means they go into the OR in better shape — and leave with a plan that addresses recurrence risk from day one.

How I work

Complementary by design.

My role sits alongside surgical care — the inflammatory, hormonal, nervous-system, gut, and pelvic-floor factors that benefit from longitudinal management outside the surgical episode. Nothing here competes with what you do in the OR; it protects it.

I’m glad to share progress updates with patient consent and coordinate care with your team as needed.

Referring a patient

Two ways to hand off.

Warm handoff. Email me at heather@luteal.health with your patient’s first name and state (NY, IL, CO, AZ), and I’ll take it from there — and close the loop with you after the visit, with their consent.

Or they apply directly. No formal referral needed. Every patient starts with a free 15-minute call with me to see if we’re a good fit, then the Endo Deep Dive: a 75-minute visit covering the six systems that contribute to endo pain, $389.

Patients must be located in NY, IL, CO, or AZ at the time of every telehealth visit.
