TESTIMONIALS - Here’s What Other People Think Of Our Service

I am very impressed with my experience with RI Best Self. Sheila really took the time to listen to me about my symptoms, my history, asking all the right questions and coming up with a protocol that made sense. It’s been a journey from where I began - having been to several doctors to sort out my hormonal issues - with no resolution. Not the case at RI Best Self. Sheila has been so caring and thorough; I finally feel like I’m on the right track, at last. When was the last time a doctor called you to check on how you’re feeling after a treatment began? Not too often, I’m sure. That’s the kind of care you can expect from Sheila. Thank you so much for all you do, Sheila.
Gratefully, Christine

An Absolute Miracle Worker

Sheila G. McLaughlin Seyster is an absolute miracle worker! I have been with her for over 5 years from our first visit together until she opened RI Best Self. I have never experienced such attention to detail, genuine patient/client care, dedication to practice and passion of profession. She is constantly researching as to stay current and up to date regarding every service she offers. I learn something new with each appointment. I am in exceptional health, and I attribute this to the time Sheila spends questioning, listening and reviewing my history every time we meet. She is an exceptional woman and I am grateful to have her in my life personally and professionally.

I am more than pleased to be able to write a testimonial for Sheila Seyster at Rhode Island Best Self.

After literally years of horrendous and unyielding menopausal symptoms, I was literally at my wits end. We moved to Portsmouth during the summer of 2018 and it must have been fate because I literally found out about Sheila while walking my dogs in the woods. It was 30 degrees outside and I was in shorts and a t-shirt with my jacket tied around my waist – too hot and uncomfortable to dress like a normal person. A woman noticed me and we began walking together and chatting. She told me that she had some fantastic success after meeting with Sheila. As a matter of fact, the woman said and I quote, “Sheila saved my life – and my marriage!!” That was enough for me. I called and set up an appointment the next day.

My symptoms included hot flashes (day and night), night sweats, inability to sleep, moodiness, low energy and sadly for me (and my new husband), zero libido. My quality of life, shall we say, was BAD. After discussing my problems with my former OB/GYN, she had put me on an anti-depressant because she said she’d had some good results with other patients going through the same thing as me. Unfortunately after trying that for a year, I was still totally miserable. And quite hopeless.

Enter Sheila Seyster. When I called the office, Sheila answered the phone herself and spent probably 20 minutes getting some background info on my situation. When I came in for my initial consultation, Sheila asked me a lot of questions and to my absolute surprise, told me that there was help for me. She could practically guarantee it. I went home and spoke with my husband, looked over the literature, and did a little Googling just for good measure. To be honest, I really did not need to do any of that stuff. I was going to try this pellet because I believed in Sheila, her expertise and at this point, what did I have to lose? The thought of living my life like this indefinitely was enough to bring me to tears.

In a nutshell, I had some labs done and then went over the results with Sheila. She told me about all my levels and gave me a ton of good information on my current physical health. I liked that Sheila spent so much time with me and I felt like suddenly I was not alone anymore. Having the pellet inserted was really no big deal and after a day or two of mild discomfort, I forgot all about it. And then less than two weeks later I was like a new person. It was truly like a miracle.

At this point I can’t remember the last time I had a hot flash. I sleep solidly every night and now that I am rested, I have energy during the day. My mood has improved and I’m not constantly on edge like before. To my complete shock, my libido has returned and I feel like I’m in my 20s again (ok, 30s!) It’s just so good to feel normal again. I have experienced zero negative side effects.

I’d highly recommend anyone dealing with post-menopausal issues to have a consult with Sheila. I’m thankful to that woman I met in the woods who took pity on my and my half-clothed body! Do yourself a favor and make the call. Life does not have to be so difficult. And we all deserve to feel good!

Sheila is a World Changer!

My first experiences with her started 10 years ago just prior to the birth of my second child. Sheila is extremely detail oriented. She spends the time to get to know you and what your symptoms are so she can better determine what course of action needs to be taken. She leaves no leaf unturned and will make sure the proper tests are done in order to optimize all options for the best possible results.

Sheila is caring, kind and loyal. She takes the time to explain everything to the fullest and if she doesn't have the answer, she will direct me to the person who does.

A few years ago I found myself trying to understanding why my body was so tired. This is something I've struggled with for most of my life. I'm the kind of person who is always on the go....Sheila walked me through the process and helped me identify exactly what was causing me to have unnecessary stress and weakness through my body.

Sheila found that my hormones were not at optimal levels for my body to produce what it needed to be strong and to sustain my active life style.

Sheila has watched me closely over the past few years. She developed the plan and then by utilizing bioidentical hormones within a couple of months of treatment..My life changed forever..

I will say whole heartedly Sheila is blessing to anyone who will give her the opportunity to see them through their Journey. She brings light into a very dark world.

There are not enough positive adjectives to describe my experience with Sheila Seyster at RI Best Self. At the young age of 48 I began struggling with vaginal dryness. What made this even more difficult was that I had just gotten married. After seeing doctor after doctor and trying all sorts of things, nothing seemed to work. I had heard about bio-identical hormone replacement from a friend and tried it. Within 2 weeks all painful and embarrassing symptoms had vanished. Additionally, those little body aches and pains went away too – I didn’t even realize how much they were bothering me until they were gone. I am a teacher of young children and sitting on the floor is what I do. A co-worker noticed the change in how I sat down and got up from the floor. Another added bonus what that it improved my complexion. I had never thought of myself as having poor complexion, but days after my first treatment my skin felt better and looked better. The difference was so noticeable, not only friends and family were commenting – complete strangers mentioned it. It's as if the clock has been turned back!
Sheila is a trustworthy confidant - easy to speak with and confide personal details. She takes time and listens – you will never feel rushed out the door. I cannot say enough, or thank her enough for all she has done, and continues to do on my behalf. The words kind, caring, compassionate and sympathetic come to mind, but they do not accurately convey Sheila’s deep commitment and passion for helping others discover their “Best Self”.

The Best

I wanted to let people know how pleased I am that we have an experienced medical professional in the field of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). I have personally and professionally been involved in this field for quite some time and I have never found anyone who is as knowledgeable as Sheila Seyster, APRN. She has been trained specifically in this field and continues to be on the cutting edge of this important therapy. Her integrity and passion for this field is evident. Her follow up is excellent and her individual care is impeccable. She has helped numerous people restore their health and wellness and move into aging feeling better than they have in years. I would highly recommend seeing Sheila to find out how you can live a healthier more vibrant life!
