Where do I start? While I have known Dr. H since we were kids, I am beyond grateful to have her as a friend and vitality advisor. She is 100% on my elite team with whom I have trusted in this realm for 10yrs. I really do not know where I would be without her expansive studies, heart, mind and intuition . Infinitely grateful. ♾️🙏🏻

Dr. Hehmeyer knows how to connect the dots. Her approach is measured and thoughtful and she is excellent at explaining how it all fits together to help you achieve your identified health priorities. This was a big deal for me, as someone who needs to understand the why behind the work. She takes you through a process that leads to lasting change and deeper understanding.

I started working with Dr. H for help navigating a hormonal imbalance, but I've gained so much more than I expected. She's helped me make sustainable changes to my eating habits—focusing on getting enough protein and healthy fats while avoiding sugar crashes—which has given me more consistent energy throughout the day, improved my sleep, and helped regulate my nervous system.The world of functional medicine and supplements can feel incredibly overwhelming, but Dr. H has made the process approachable and personalized. While I'm still on my hormone health journey, I feel confident that I'm on the right path thanks to her thoughtful, knowledgeable, and supportive care. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a root-cause approach to their health.

2026-07-04T18:49:10.238Z

Dr. H is simply the best! Working with her has been one of the best investments I've made in my health. From day one, she really understood what was going on with me and gave me practical, actionable steps I could start putting into practice right away. She’s a wealth of knowledge and I trust her wholeheartedly, I can’t recommend her enough!

2026-06-20T17:59:22.612Z

I loved working with Dr. H. I love the "data-driven" aspect of her work. I came to her with a hunch about something/ a sense/ a feeling. I got really empowered by being more interested in the data, and the data specifically given by my body. More interested in that than what social media is throwing at me, or what my good friends have to say. She is a great partner in the world of "What is actually going to work for me and my body?"

I found Dr. Heymeyer through my integrative doctor. I have a lot of skin issues and wanted to investigate what foods may be causing/aggravating them. She patiently and systematically helped me understand how certain categories of foods affect my gut microbiome and by extension my skin. We tackled it together one step at a time rather than going all in at once which would have been too overwhelming for me. She ordered tests as needed over time and analyzed the results with me, always answering my many questions with patience and support. When progress halted, and sometimes even backtracked, she always had new ideas about what to do next. I learned so much from her. We stopped meeting after 8 months because I was ready to continue on my own, but I have occasionally emailed her with questions and she is always there to still answer them.

2026-06-16T12:47:11.996Z

Dr H really listens and cares. She assists you in adapting your diet and lifestyle to reach the goals you'd like to achieve. The labs are key in determining what supplements you need to take for your optimal health. She is a joy to work with.

2026-06-02T13:44:27.228Z

Dr. Hehmeyer provided clear explanation of my lab results and explained the rationale for supplements recommended. I followed her plan and my follow-up labs showed excellent progress and provided black and white proof that conservative care works!

2026-05-20T02:24:20.003Z

Where do I even begin?! Dr. H has completely transformed my life. From our very first meeting when I shared my situation, I knew she was going to be the life changing support I needed to turn things around. As soon as we began working together, Dr. H ordered the essential tests that quickly identified the major issues my body was facing, and she guided me on a journey to not only break free from unhealthy habits, but also provided me with the tools and knowledge to prioritize my health in the most informed and supportive way possible. Since seeing Dr. H, I've learned how to care for my body and maintain that care all while working and juggling mom life. Over the past six months, my body has undergone remarkable improvements—all of which I owe to Dr. H's expertise and guidance.

Dr. Hehmeyer's contact info came across my desk right when I needed it. I had decided to tackle some digestive issues and started looking into alternative medicine. After an initial call with her I decided to take the leap, albeit with a few concerns. After our first sessions, I felt ready to try a few new things, after our second session, I understood so much more about how my body was working. She translated my bloodwork results in the most helpful way. I gained understanding and that continues to motivate me to maintain the small but effective changes I have made to my lifestyle. I look forward to our sessions where I am always learning something new and leaving motivated and feeling at my healthiest. I appreciate the convenience of Zoom sessions to help my schedule. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a fresh, science-based take on their health.

2026-04-21T19:40:20.079Z

I had been struggling with a series of health issues for years – all different, and all seemingly unrelated. I was running out of hope that I would ever get answers when a colleague recommended Dr Hehmeyer. From our very first conversation, she was able to connect the dots and bring clarity to my health issues. I felt heard, safe, and genuinely cared for in every interaction, and have made great progress in so many areas of my health. Challenges that I have been dealing with for years are disappearing, and I am remembering what it feels like to have energy again! Her approach is thoughtful, supportive, non-judgmental and motivating. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

2026-04-04T15:14:46.424Z

Working with Dr. H has completely shifted my relationship with food. It wasn’t just about improving my health (read bloodwork) in the short term; it was about gaining the tools to sustain those changes for the rest of my life. She provides much more than nutritional advice—she provides a roadmap for a healthier future. Choosing to work with her was the best investment I’ve made in myself.

2025-11-15T20:18:35.264Z

I cannot recommend Dr. Hehmeyer highly enough. She is one of the most patient, knowledgeable, and compassionate doctors I’ve ever worked with. What sets her apart is her dedication to getting to the root cause of health concerns rather than just treating symptoms.Dr. Hehmeyer takes the time to thoroughly analyze bloodwork, listen to her clients’ symptoms, and understand their lifestyle and diet. She has an incredible ability to identify the right nutritional adjustments and targeted supplements that make a real difference. Every recommendation feels thoughtful, personalized, and backed by a deep understanding of functional medicine.Working with her has been truly transformative. She approaches health from a whole-body perspective and helps restore balance, energy, and overall well-being. If you’re looking for a functional health doctor who genuinely cares and will partner with you on your health journey, Dr. Hehmeyer is an absolute treasure.

A Life-Changing Experience with Dr. Jessica Hehmeyer – Functional Medicine at Its BestAfter hitting dead ends with traditional medicine, I found Dr. H through an online search for local functional medicine practitioners. I loved that she offered a free 30-minute consultation. By the end of that conversation, I knew she was going to be able to help me.I had previously seen both a gastroenterologist and a rheumatologist for symptoms like bloating, incomplete digestion, inconsistent food sensitivities, poor sleep, low motivation, and daily fatigue. Despite numerous appointments and tests, I was told I didn’t have celiac or an autoimmune disease—yet no further answers were offered. I left those visits feeling frustrated, dismissed, and still very unwell.Dr. H was a completely different experience. Not only were our sessions virtual (a huge plus for my schedule), but she also went deep into understanding my full health picture—not just the digestive symptoms, but my energy levels, sleep quality, and diet. She ordered a comprehensive blood panel and a microbiome analysis, both of which revealed critical information that standard tests had missed.Dr. H has an incredible depth of knowledge, particularly when it comes to interpreting lab results beyond just what’s "normal" by conventional standards. For instance, while my vitamin B levels technically fell within a standard range, she identified that they were still too low for me to function optimally—and that deficiency was likely contributing to my fatigue. The microbiome test revealed I had a parasite, which was disrupting my gut health and overall well-being. I couldn’t help but wonder why the GI specialist hadn’t tested for this years ago.Dr. H prescribed targeted supplements to address the deficiencies and eliminate the parasite—vitamin B, magnesium, and fish oil among them. She truly tailors treatment to each individual, and her guidance has made a profound difference in how I feel day to day.Though this type of care typically isn’t covered by insurance, I would absolutely invest in it again. The clarity, relief, and improvement I’ve experienced are worth every penny. I finally feel like someone truly listened, dug deeper, and helped me get to the root of my symptoms. I’m so grateful to have found her!

2025-06-03T15:32:55.463Z

About 15 years ago, I was having trouble swallowing and felt like something was in my throat. I had made appointments with my general practitioner, had X-rays done and even went to ER once but no one could diagnose anything. When I was having trouble getting pregnant, my friend Dr Jessica Hehmeyer offered to do blood work to see if anything was off and she discovered my underactive, swollen thyroid. This was something that my GP missed. I appreciate Dr Hehmeyer identifying the issue and getting me on a path to manage the situation.

2025-05-20T00:16:44.330Z

Transformed my health and beauty -- both inside and out! I’ve been blown away by the functional medicine work I've done with Dr. Jessie Hehmeyer at Well Empowered over the past year. Her combination of scientific expertise, warmth and care, and focus on helping clients approach their health from a place of self-love have raised my standards for medical professionals.I came in with a particular women’s health issue that other doctors didn’t take the care to solve. Dr. H immediately had lab test suggestions, AND suggested other specialty tests as well, helping me discover many nutritional deficiencies that could easily be addressed. Through her engaging handouts and worksheets, I’ve also learned about my health from a biological perspective without being bored to tears!What truly makes Dr. H stand out to me, however, is her focus on helping clients approach their health from a place of devotion (as opposed to forcefulness). Dr. H operates her practice from a belief that health is sacred, and that mentality shows in all aspects of her work. For many years, I approached my health with shame and coercion, but Dr. H helped me find a way to build sustainable, healthy habits from a place of self-love.

2025-02-28T19:11:14.061Z

When I first contacted Jessica almost two years ago, I knew I needed a true paradigm shift in my relationship with food—not just another program to get me to a specific number on the scale. I wanted to develop lasting habits that would serve me for the rest of my life. As a woman in my mid-50s at the time, the rollercoaster of losing and gaining 25 pounds over and over was taking a toll on me emotionally and was negatively impacting my health. I didn’t reach out because the timing was perfect or the stars aligned. In many ways, I came to this process kicking and screaming. I didn’t want to work hard or make big changes, but I also knew I couldn’t keep going the way I had been.The fairytale version of this story would be that everything was easy and I never think about food anymore—but I don’t know if that’s true for anyone. What I have now is a different story. The story of someone who feels empowered when I make time to chop veggies for a yummy one-dish dinner and knows there’s support when the fear kicks in and old habits threaten to resurface. I needed a lot of support in those initial months. I was frustrated and sometimes angry. Change is hard. My brain kept telling me I wasn’t going to be able to do this. “You’ve failed before…this is too hard!” So much fear. My relationship with food wasn’t serving me, but I couldn’t construct a new one on my own. Jessica patiently met me where I was with personalized guidance and support, keeping me moving toward my own version of health and vitality. While I still need the occasional “tune-up,” I can wholeheartedly say I am much more comfortable in my body and my relationship with food is now kinder and healthier. I am grateful and excited to see what the future holds!

2025-02-26T23:01:10.070Z

I initially started meeting with Dr. H to address gut issues. Not only did my gut health improve but I’m more motivated than ever to strive in all areas of my health! This is by far the best long term investment you can make.

2025-02-07T01:03:12.279Z

Working with Dr. H has been truly transformative. After years of maintaining a healthy lifestyle but still struggling with an array of persistent health and skin issues—and feeling unheard by other doctors—I finally feel seen and understood. She takes a thoughtful, holistic approach, looking at every detail to connect the dots and offer solutions that are both practical and effective. No symptom is ever dismissed or treated as something I just have to live with. I’m making real progress and feeling better than I have in years. I’m so grateful for her care and expertise—working with Dr. H has been one of the best investments I have ever made and I would highly recommend working with her!

2025-01-28T00:57:38.741Z

I can't believe it took me so long to write this review. Without exaggeration, working with Dr. H has been one of the best investments I’ve ever made on myself. It has completely transformed my health, my body, and my LIFE for the long haul. I’ve always struggled to sustain lasting health changes, and I also have a tendency to show up more for others, then revert to my old ways when that external accountability is not there. But it's just over a month on my own, with the "training wheels off," so to speak, I’m still maintaining my healthy lifestyle, continuing to lose weight, gain muscle, and most importantly feel SO much more confident!Dr. H designed the program in way that ensures you're truly absorbing the content and building on a foundation of self-love so the accountability is to yourself! The person you are becoming—not to Dr. H (though her support and deep knowledge is certainly *invaluable*).

2025-01-02T18:48:52.774Z

Dr. H has been an incredible guide on my wellness journey. Together, we explored what my body truly needs in terms of nourishment, supplements, and lifestyle adjustments. Thanks to her support, I’ve experienced noticeable health improvements, particularly in my mood. I deeply value her as both a mentor and a friend and wholeheartedly recommend her!

2024-10-13T19:38:27.437Z

I am incredibly grateful for Dr. H's expertise and care as a functional medicine doctor. Her dedication to optimizing health is truly remarkable. From the moment I met her, Dr. H listened attentively, guiding me on a journey to better health. Her holistic approach and commitment to understanding my unique needs have resulted in amazing outcomes. I'm thrilled with the positive changes in my lab numbers and feel empowered to live a fuller, healthier life. Thank you, Dr. H, for your compassionate care and unwavering support!

2024-09-30T11:13:17.745Z

I found Dr. H from my own online search early this year after months of unbearable eczema flairs all over my face. I really did not know what to expect but I was desperate for relief and guidance. I have suffered with eczema off and on for the past 30 years and figured this would be a good time to finally get to the root of the cause. When I reached out to her for the initial consultation, I also mentioned that my digestion didn't feel great and I always felt fatigued. I honestly did not know or think that it all could be connected. She was very clear, upfront and non judgmental which felt very safe to me. She explained how we would work together and exactly what all the costs would be, including the lab work to identify the root causes. I cannot recommend Dr. H highly enough. Seven months later, and my skin is clear, I have more energy and my digestion feels great. I am still avoiding lots of triggers like dairy and gluten and I still feel like I am constantly on guard for another flair, but I feel like I finally understand what my body responds to, positively and negatively. What impressed me the most with Dr. H is her steadiness and tenacity to get to the root of the problem. To be clear, the past 7 months were a roller coaster of flairs and clear skin and we had to continually narrow down various triggers. The latest triggers we discovered were emulsifiers like xanthan gum and tapioca starch. I can confidently say that I would never have figured that out on my own. I realize that traditional medicine would have prescribed me a topical steroid and that the "recovery" would have been a lot faster but I also truly don't believe that I would have discovered any root causes in order to make more informed choices in the years ahead. Dr. H's approach was longer but her positive impact is more profound and longer lasting. I know that with her I always have someone in my corner with whom I can reach out to should any other issue arise. And that for me, is priceless.

2024-06-17T15:05:26.498Z

I have worked with Dr. Hehmeyer for many years now. She has changed my life in so many positive ways. I came to her looking for a way to lose weight, but I found so much more... I found how to love myself, how to get to the root of my emotional eating, how to finally conquer my emotional crutches of alcohol and cigarettes, how to set healthy boundaries with food/relationships/work. and thats not ALL....She also has a very data based approach to labs and prescribing natural supplements and nutriiton that work for your body. I could not recommend working with her more!

2024-03-26T12:16:23.964Z

This review is SO overdue. I began working with Dr. H in 2022. It’s been two years since I started working with her and the habits she taught me have stuck — truly the way I feel when I wake up every day (clear, happy, empowered, etc) are all thanks to her. I learned so much about how to nurture my body and treat it well, my mind is clear, and I just feel so good. Dr. H’s customized approach to getting to the root cause of your issues is second to none, and she explains everything in a way that’s understandable. Dr. H is also the only medical professional I’ve ever had that doesn’t gaslight and truly hears what you are saying and is committed to finding solutions. Her approach really allows you to form habits that stick and she supports you the entire way with encouragement and no judgement. I can not possibly recommend Dr. H more highly — she has entirely changed my life, my relationship with food and wellness, and my outlook for the future.

2023-10-22T14:35:38.130Z

Over the past year I have reached out to Dr. Hehmeyer twice and both times she helped me to develop a plan that has had a significant impact on my health. She listened closely, was very supportive of the changes I wanted to make and guided me towards changes in my nutrition and targeted use of supplements. In the first case diet changes helped me significantly reduce my cholesterol. The second case was more complicated. After a trip overseas I developed constant stomach burning sensation and then tested positive for H Pylori. My MD wanted me to do the traditional course of two weeks on 2 antibiotics. I was concerned about the adverse effects of a heavy course of antibiotics. Jessie did some research, shared the data with me and offered an alternative path. It involved 2-3 weeks on a combination of probiotics and other supplements. At 14 pills/day it was daunting and as someone who never took so many supplements, I was skeptical. Though my MD did not have experience with supplements, he supported the plan with the idea that I could always come back to the antibiotics. After 2.5 weeks my pain finally cleared up. I returned to the MD a few weeks ago and tested negative for H Pylori. The treatment worked and I am so grateful for Jessie's skills and help.

2023-10-06T19:54:57.541Z

I have struggled with digestion issues and bloating for years not to mention always thinking about what I’m eating (ie. How many calories, carbs, fats, protein, sweets, etc.). Initially, I thought my digestion was normal for my body because it was what I was accustomed to, but after doing some research I realized it wasn’t normal. I contacted Dr. Hehmeyer in hopes that she could help with regulate my digestion, figure out why I was always bloated and help me spend less time and energy revolved around food.After Dr. Hehmeyer reviewed my blood work, I learned where my body was deficient from a digestion standpoint and Dr. Hehmeyer started me on a supplement regime along with tracking what I ate to figure out what was causing me to be bloated. This was in addition to zoom sessions we had a few times a month. My sessions with Dr. Hehmeyer were not only informative but therapeutic. She helped me change the way I thought about food without ever making me feel like I had to but by simply suggesting alternative ways to think about food. She made tracking my food intake very easy and worked with me to ensure it wouldn’t make my obsession about food thoughts worse.After a year of working with Dr. Hehmeyer, I have been able to regulate my digestion and I have learned what foods trigger my bloating. An added bonus, which came as a huge welcome surprise, is that I am no longer addicted to sugar! I do still have the occasional dessert (without guilt) but I don’t crave it like I used to and that feeling is amazing! I have also managed to stay 99.9% gluten and dairy free since working with Dr. Hehmeyer where as before it was more like 85% and this is great for my Hashimoto’s.All in all, I am so grateful to Dr. Hehmeyer for everything she has taught me and for her patience and willingness to guide and help me! I will continue to check-in with Dr. Hehmeyer a few times a year to ensure I’m still on track with my digestion and to review my supplements and modify them accordingly, if necessary.I encourage anyone struggling with digestion, weight, food addictions, bloating, etc. to work with Dr. Hehmeyer. You will not be disappointed!

2023-09-18T16:38:03.902Z

Dr. Jessica Hehmeyer has helped me change my health for the better. I came to Dr. H five months ago feeling hopeless about my health. I was doing everything in the book to be healthier and I continued to gain weight. After a month working with Dr. H, I was able to create a lifestyle plan that was attainable and worked for me. I immediately saw results and have continued to see results since. She is incredible to work with, understanding, and listens to my concerns. I highly recommend Dr. Jessica Hehmeyer if you are looking to seek guidance outside of western medicine.

2023-08-08T00:37:12.063Z

Over the years I have worked with several dieticians and/or nutritionists with limited success. I am grateful that I was referred to Dr. Hehmeyer. Her approach is science based. I have experienced great improvement not only in achieving my weight loss goals but also successfully addressing other diet related health issues. She is very professional, knowledgeable and personable. I highly recommend!
