Testimonials

“For over five years, my husband and I have walked the long and winding road of infertility. We saw doctors across multiple cities and tried nearly every protocol the large clinics had to offer—medicated cycles, IUI, IVF, and more. Each time, we steadied ourselves and dared to hope this round would be different. Yet each time, we heard the same disheartening lines: “We’ve exhausted every standard procedure,” or “Y’all have done more than most—have you considered a donor egg or adoption?”

It was only after diving deep into infertility research on our own that we discovered NaProTechnology, which led us to Dr. Hilgers. From our very first meeting, we sensed this would be different. Gone was the familiar routine of one-size-fits-all protocols and the impersonal care we’d grown so accustomed to at large hospital systems and IVF clinics. For the first time, we found ourselves talking about real diagnostics and the underlying causes standing between us and the family we longed for. More than that, Dr. Hilgers was the first physician who truly grasped the toll this journey takes—not only on a person emotionally and physically, but on a marriage as well.

He had read our entire medical history before we even sat down—and ours read like an encyclopedia. In that first conversation, he recommended something no one had ever suggested: an exploratory laparoscopy for endometriosis. The procedure revealed stage IV endometriosis affecting both ovaries. Suddenly, years of unanswered questions made sense.

Our journey isn’t over, but for the first time we feel we have a true partner—someone devoted to healing the whole person and the root of our infertility, not just chasing symptoms. Dr. Hilgers’s personalized approach has included a food elimination and detox program, comprehensive hormonal bloodwork for both of us, ongoing hormone monitoring, stress management (and I sure do need this!), Creighton Model cycle tracking, and ultrasound series testing to evaluate ovulation. He checks in constantly and with genuine intention, always mindful of how we’re doing mentally, physically, and emotionally.

This is one of the hardest “clubs” anyone can find themselves in and my deepest hope is that our story offers other aspiring parents faith in the family that may still lie ahead. Through his patience, his steady optimism, and his unwavering care, Dr. Hilgers has given us something we had nearly lost along the way: hope.

The level of attention, compassion, and care that Dr. Hilgers provides is unlike anything I have experienced.

“For decades I knew something was off but doctors said I was too young to have hormone issues. Fast forward to 13 years of trying for a baby, then we finally found our doctor. By then I just wanted answers and good health. Dr Hilgers was the first doctor that cared to find the root cause of my health issues. We are so grateful for him.

Then True Health Matters started and we joined. The curriculum breakdown and application/approach is very practical, with educational videos that are short and easy to digest. We felt very well supported as we also had coaches.

After three months my hormones were the best I’ve had in ages, almost normal! I never thought it would happen after years of needing up to 600mg of progesterone at one point.

Other results have included improved menstrual cycle, eliminating gut inflammation, better restful sleep, improved lifestyle (especially in our eating habits), improved mental clarity, elimination of joint pain and inflammation, regular seasonal allergy symptoms also gone, and that’s to mention a few. Our bodies are made to heal! We just need to support it.

The program also helped my husband and I connect differently in this journey to trying to conceive. He says it was doing the educational program together and our consults together with Dr. Hilgers that made a difference in this journey.

What a blessing to get healthier as we wait for our child!”

The decision to work with Dr. Hilgers has been one of the best decisions I have made for my health. What sets Dr. Hilgers apart from other physicians is his understanding of the importance of addressing the root cause.

He approached my infertility issues, specifically, my PMOS, with the confidence and the knowledge that it can be cured. That mentality drove every decision he made as my doctor. By the end of the 4-month program, my cycles had become regular, my labs were within normal range, and I felt more energy than I’ve felt in years. Dr. Hilgers’ program proved to me that our bodies have an incredible ability to heal itself – which was all made evident to me because Dr. Hilgers addressed the root cause and understands the importance of what true health is in women’s fertility.
