Patient Story
Laurie Med Matrix Testimonial
Summary
Laurie, a mother of four who works multiple jobs, came to Med Matrix after cycling through multiple primary care doctors and OBGYNs who couldn't agree on or properly manage her hormone balance and gut health. Under Dr. Sasha Rose's care, her gut issues largely resolved within six weeks, her hormones were properly balanced, and her sleep improved significantly, allowing her to wake up energized and active.
Before Med Matrix
- Hormone imbalance (on hormone patches and progesterone with incorrect dosing)
- Poor gut health: bloating, digestive issues, not digesting properly
- Waking up exhausted even after sleep
- Overall fatigue
- Could not get consistent care or answers from multiple providers (primary care and OBGYNs disagreed on treatment)
- Felt unheard and had to advocate strongly for herself
Results
- Gut health largely healed (off the gut medication after approximately 6 weeks)
- Sleeping much better (goes to bed 8:00-8:30 p.m., wakes at 4:30-5:00 a.m. feeling rested)
- Hormones balanced
- Wakes up with energy and walks a couple miles on the treadmill most mornings
- Feels better in her own body
- Opened her perspective to different types of beneficial healthcare

“Just being treated like a whole person. Every system of your body affects another system, plays a part. You guys just look at everybody as a whole person.”
“I would have probably started sooner, but you don't know about something you don't know about.”
