I first visited Karen Hyden in June of 2010. I had become hopeless about ever feeling good in my life, or ever losing all the extra pounds I was carrying; in short, I was ready to slip on the muumuu, slide into the flipflops, and let my mustache grow back. I was done. Or so I thought.
Karen’s consultation with me was personal, and specific. She ‘got’ me immediately; she read my blood work, explained to me what she was seeing there, and put me on a course that was specifically designed for me.
Within six weeks I was off all prescription allergy meds (which I had taken all my life); I no longer needed my acid reflux prescription (which I had taken for decades); and I had as much energy as I’d had in my twenties.
I have lost all the extra pounds, my thinning hair has returned to its previous state of thickness, my energy levels and libido are where I’d always wished they would be, but never dared hope.
Karen’s is a true ministry; she restores balance that starts in the heart. I am so appreciative of my friend Leslie for recommending that I make that first appointment. It was that choice, and following what Karen prescribed, that have literally changed my life.
Sincerely,
C. DuBois, TN
I have been in the natural health business for many years and have been looking for a holistic health care provider since my integrative doctor closed her practice in 2004. I have sampled several providers who were said to be holistic and was not pleased until I found Karen Hyden. Karen is very knowledgeable and well skilled and focused on a holistic perspective. She listened to me, really heard me, considered symptoms I had concern for that no other doctor or health care provider would consider. She offered a diagnosis that put many of my concerns together in a manner that made sense and now I am able to continue my healing journey with this diagnosis in mind. I am so grateful to have found Karen to help care for me and my family.

I began my weight loss journey before I ever met Karen Hyden. I had only lost about 30 lbs (with ups and downs) in 9 months. With Transitions, I was able to lose 50 more lbs in 4 months! With HCG, I have lost 55 lbs in 5 months! Altogether I've more than tripled the rate of the progress I had on my own. I still have a long way to go, but I can now say with confidence that I will - for the first time in my life - be at a healthy weight within the next 7 months! If you are considering it, please schedule an appointment! It will change your life.

"I thought the stress of my martial problems could only be fixed with medications, I never thought hormones, vitamins, etc could change things the way they have. I'm in love again with my wife, thanks to Karen. I didn't know how bad I felt until I started to feel good again; I have never felt better in my life."
