Dr. Corbin literally changed my life. I've spent 5 years trying to get ANY doctor to test my hormone levels because I feel like THEY are the cause of skin issues, headaches, severe fatigue, rage, PMDD, etc. And I have been told "it's normal, you can just expect this until menopause, then there are new issues." I DO NOT accept that. And neither did Dr. Corbin. She sat down with me for 45 Minutes and listened compassionately to my concerns, taking furious notes, and then asked MANY questions about my health and menstrual history.
I've NEVER had a doctor say "what I believe is..." And she basically told me exactly what I experienced ALL my life and what hormones cause that and what imbalance can do, etc. And she suggested a DUTCH TEST. It was $300 but I was ALL in, because I could FINALLY get answers and hopefully some kind of treatment or insight before being told again "there is NOTHING you can do." She said "if it's affecting your quality of life, then we need to see what we can do to better it." Holy hell why is this NOT the standard?!
So my DUTCH TEST came back, and you do this AT home, and mail it...y'all it's EASY!!! It's urine, not blood!!! My levels all were "within range" but I was on the lower end with my progesterone, and my "bad estrogen," was high. Which meant I didn't metabolize it well to get it out of my system.
She put me on an OTC DIM supplement, I chose Thorne for their quality, and bought it on Amazon. And I also get to take oral progesterone from day 14 through bleeding, on my cycle. In two weeks I felt BETTER than I ever have since having kids and my kids are 8 and 10!
I could NOT recommend Dr. Corbin or her compassionate staff any more highly. She is fabulous. And she saved me from shitty medicine. read more
