Julia Hannel, age 59
“I feel young again, I dropped 4 sizes. And my arthritis went away. I have my body back!! I enjoy life again, and I was mistaken for being my own daughter. Nobody believes I will be 60 in June.”
Debbie Medvick, age 56
“I’m a confident, educated woman. I’m a wife, mother, mother-in-law, and grandmother. I workout and enjoy life. When menopause came knocking, I realized I couldn’t fit it into my schedule. But it became more persistent. Mood swings, night sweats, decreased libido, and the feeling of needing to “crawl out of my skin” began to consume me. I decided not to give in but was losing my will to fight.
I came upon Dr. Maupin and bioidentical hormones in an article and decided this might be the best treatment for me. One year later, I KNOW this is the treatment for me. And my libido? Let’s just say my husband is pleased and is now a client himself! we are told that menopause is a “normal” phase of life. Well I choose not to be “normal.” I will continue to embrace my new friend – bioidentical hormones – and I thank Dr. Maupin for introducing us!”
Cathy Carney, age 54
“I had tried the bioidentical creams after eight years from having a hysterectomy and nine years after having had breast cancer. However, my oncologist was not supportive of having the progesterone cream. After a year of dealing with the creams, I was introduced to Dr. Maupin through a family friend. What a difference the pellet has made! Not having to mess with the creams two times a day was wonderful! Mood swings leveled out, mental clarity returned and FINALLY a libido! The final benefit, the inches around the stomach melted away! Menopause doesn’t have to be horrible! The pellet brought sanity back into my life!”
D. J., age 60
“Hot flashes—ick!! What more needs to be said! But now they’re all gone. However, there are other wonderful benefits. I’ve lost 25 pounds and have maintained my weight loss with little effort and my sex drive is back like I’m in my 20′s again. My energy level is way up. It feels great to feel great again!”
C.D., age 39
“When I was in my twenties I was having a lot of libido problems, a bonafide issue for a newly married young woman. The problem was a complete lack of any libido at all. I saw a specialist in my early twenties, who gave me monthly injections of some liquid form of testosterone. This did not truly make a difference, at least none thatI was able to feel. After two years of these $60 injections, I quit seeing this doctor due to lack of results.
A few years later, at the prompting of my husband, I saw a sexual therapist for about five sessions. She indicated to me that there may be an actual physical reason for my lack of libido. I located a specialist in St. Louis. After testing, it was revealed that I had comparatively low testosterone. But, I also had endometriosis, so I underwent surgery for that first. After that, I was given specially compounded pills of 10mg testosterone, two per day. I took these for two more years, still with NO results. So I quit taking them.
After more marriage issues due to lack of libido, I talked to a friend of mine who recommended Dr. Maupin. I went to Dr. Maupin, not expecting any results, but after nearly 15 years of fighting this battle and losing every time, it was worth a try. The testing results came back with .6 level of testosterone, while a normal range is 9-11. I was so surprised to find that I wasn’t even registering at a full 1 or 2, but a level below even that! Dr. Maupin assured me that she could help me. So we started the pellets, and by the second treatment, I was seeing a radical difference!
I couldn’t believe all these years wasted at other doctors who never truly even tried to help. I couldn’t believe that normal women feel this way, it had been so long. My libido is now healthy, functional, and I feel like a new woman. I’m sure that I would be divorced by now if Dr. Maupin and her nurses hadn’t been there to save me. Thank you so much Dr. Maupin, and Sandy & Susie!!!!(my husband thanks you too!)”
B.M., age 57
“Hormone pellets allowed me to get my life back. I am stronger, happier and healthier since starting hormone replacement. My friends and family have noticed the difference
in me. I enjoy my old hobbies again and am enjoying new hobbies and a more active life-style.”
Julie B, age 53
“By the time I came to Dr. Maupin, I was a shell of my former self. After unsatisfactory results with other modes of HRT, I opted for pellets. They changed my life. I felt like I was awakening from a long sleep. I’m 53, and I feel better than I did at 35. Not only do I have my life back, but I am now the person I always wanted to be, and I’m living my best life!”
Judy Leist, age 60
“Thank God for pellets! I tried different bioidentical creams for one-and-a-half years and was miserable because my body wouldn’t absorb them. I felt I was losing my memory, gaining weight, depressed for no reason, night sweats, hot flashes, waking up tired, no libido and bone scan just showed Osteopenia. My husband was at his wits end and said I had to get help. Finally Dr. Maupin urged me to try the pellets. OMG. Within two weeks I could tell a difference. I was finally getting my life back. Within a couple months the pellets got rid of all my symptoms. Finally had energy to exercise and realized I wasn’t going crazy. I also noticed it got rid of a few wrinkles in my face. What a bonus that was.
I have been doing the pellets every 4 months for almost 8 years now. Recent bone scan shows only slight bone loss in left hip. Such a significant improvement from bone scan eight years ago. All I can say is “Thank you Dr. Maupin for getting my body back to normal and letting me enjoy life with my family and friends as I continue to age.”
Lynne Beldner, age 66
“In 1997 I had a complete hysterectomy from which followed the worst case of menopause. I really thought my life was over. I experienced everything, lack of sleep, hot flashes, mood changes, headaches, vaginal dryness, memory loss, incontinence, weight gain, no energy, joint pain, chest pain, zero sex drive, difficulty concentrating, and depression.
I went to so many doctors who would treat some of the symptoms but they never fully understood how bad things were for me. This was also during the time when hormone therapy was considered bad for you, plus I have a history of breast cancer in my family, so it was always recommended I should not take anything. I continued to be miserable, trying every natural product I could find, to no avail.
Finally in 2003, my hair dresser, Jason, told me about this gynecologist Dr. Kathy Maupin who treated women like me with these natural bioidentical hormone pellets. Well, what did I have to lose, I made an appointment with her and that was the beginning of getting my life back.
I started the therapy and my symptoms began to disappear. I started to feel whole again. My husband was extremely grateful too. I am 66 now and have been on the pellets for ten years. When questioned why I continue on the pellets I am reminded of what Dr. Maupin asked me the first time I met her, “do you want quantity or quality of life?” I am so thrilled I chose quality! Thank you Dr. Maupin!”
Evie Filla, age 52
”I began using BioBalance pellets about four years ago. I vividly remember driving home after my first pellet insertion. It honestly felt like someone flipped a switch… and my life changed from that moment. Things around me were beautiful and I knew that I was not just going to be okay, but that I was going to be great!
During those four years, I have explored and experienced so many wonderful things that I hadn’t imagined were still in my future prior to pellets. I felt old, tired and hopeless in my pre-pellet years—and those feeling were just getting worse. I now weight-lift, ride my bike as often as the weather allows, and crawl around the house with my 11 month old grandson. I have lost 30 pounds and I am in better shape than I have ever been in all of my 52 years. I have grown in my career as Director of Human Resources and in my marriage of 32 years. I have grown in EVERY aspect of me! I am happy! Pellets have given me a life of quality that I had been lacking for many years. Thank you so much! I will never be without them.”
JoAnn Pomatto, age 50
”My life began again after receiving my BioBalance hormones. Dr. Maupin took my photo on my first visit and then three months after receiving my hormones….I look like my younger sister!! It was and still is quite amazing!!
I felt like a nobody and as if I did not matter. I was lost.
The improvements in my life are numerous. I have energy, enjoy exercise, enjoy my family again, enjoy being with my husband of 28 years. He has definitely reaped the benefits of my hormone replacement!! I have lost 40 pounds and have kept them off for a year. I have muscle definition where I have never had before.
My brain is less foggy and I have a much better memory. I no longer feel like a nobody and I am happy again. I am in better shape both physically and mentally than I was in my thirties. I have also been able to wean myself off the anti-depressants I took for over 18 years. I have been off of these for 3 months and I am doing well.
Thanks to Dr. Maupin and her staff for giving me my life back!!”
A.W., age 55
”I had to have a partial hysterectomy when I was 40 years old (prolapsed uterus). I kept my ovaries and so had some hormones for an indefinite period of time. After about seven years I started having three day blinding migraines every month that were so bad I couldn’t sleep. At the same time I started withdrawing from my husband and children in the evenings with depression-like symptoms. I was tired, slow and irritable and forget about intimate. But the headaches interfered with work and it wasn’t until I mentioned them to a coworker and good friend that was already a pellet patient that I found out the headaches were a symptom of menopause. I hadn’t had (and still haven’t had) a single hot flash. Menopause hadn’t crossed my mind…brain tumor, stroke and various other horrible conclusions had, so I was hopeful and went to speak to Dr. Maupin.
Kathy had helped deliver my first child and it was good to see her again. I discussed all my symptoms, got worked up and it was discovered I had very little estrogen or testosterone.
Within weeks of my first injection, I felt reborn and happy for the first time in months. The headaches were gone, I wanted to live again and my husband was thrilled with the renewed attention. I think that was about seven years ago. I have had several adjustments in that time. Susie is my nurse and pellet injector (and knows all my secrets!) and does the best job of making sure I get the right amount at the right time. I don’t know what I would do without her or Dr. Maupin or my pellets, and my husband says we will never find out. We owe it to ourselves and our families to be healthy and that’s what I feel like now…healthy and happy.”

P.D. from O’Fallon, MO : “I didn’t fully appreciate how much good the pellets were doing me until I recently had to delay my insertion.
