Endometriosis Telehealth Care in Illinois
Luteal Health is licensed to provide telehealth care to patients physically located in Illinois. Every patient starts with a free 15-minute call with Heather to see if it’s a good fit. The first full visit is the Endo Deep Dive — a 75-minute visit for $389 where you and Heather go through the six systems that contribute to endo pain (hormones, gut, mind & body, nervous system, immune health, and lifestyle), so you leave with a clear idea of what’s still contributing to your pain.
This is care for the chronic, inflammatory, and systemic side of endometriosis — the work mainstream OB-GYN visits don’t have time for. It is not a surgical practice and does not replace your in-person team.
Endometriosis Telehealth for Illinois Patients
If you’re in Illinois and have cycled through OB-GYN visits that ended with “try birth control” or “we’ll do surgery and see,” Luteal Health was built for the part nobody else has time for. Endometriosis is a chronic systemic condition. Inflammation, nervous system regulation, gut function, hormonal signaling, and the somatic patterns the body learns from years of pain all drive how much endo controls your life — and none of them are addressed in a 15-minute appointment.
What This Practice Is — and What It Isn’t
Luteal Health is a telehealth practice focused on the chronic, inflammatory, and somatic drivers of endometriosis. The Endo Deep Dive goes through the six body systems that contribute to endo pain, so you can see what’s still driving yours.
This is not a surgical practice. Heather does not diagnose endometriosis surgically or perform procedures. If surgery is on the table, your in-person surgical team is the right place to make that decision. Luteal Health fits the work that determines how your body heals around it — before surgery, after surgery, or instead of surgery, depending on your case.
Illinois Licensing and Scope
Heather Yoshimura, NP, MSN is licensed through the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) as an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse with prescriptive authority. For Illinois patients, she takes a thorough symptom history, reviews your prior labs and op reports, prescribes medications to any Illinois pharmacy, and builds a personalized chronic-care plan for endometriosis.
Pelvic exams, surgery, definitive surgical diagnosis, and in-person procedures are out of scope and require an in-person provider.

Superbills are available for out-of-network reimbursement from commercial IL insurance plans that include OON benefits. Insurance is not billed directly.
