• Dr. Sharon Stills, NMD, primary care professional who offers therapeutic and diagnostic services to women and founded one of the largest and most successful naturopathic clinics in the country.

Approach and work philosophy

The company advocates a root-cause approach to addressing hormonal imbalances, rather than merely treating symptoms. It maintains that many women experience symptoms of hormonal imbalance starting in their 30s, although the average age of menopause is 51, and that these symptoms can appear at any time between puberty and menopause. According to its experience, many everyday health problems can improve through high-quality supplementation, targeted nutrition, low-impact exercise, and stress management.

WHN clarifies that it does not practice medicine and that it recommends keeping regular medical check-ups with a healthcare professional. It offers free consultations with wellness advisors through its phone line. It also states that its products may be used by anyone over the age of 16, although women are more susceptible to hormonal imbalances and represent 80% of autoimmune dysfunction cases.

Track record and community

The company states it has been helping women for over 23 years and has a community of tens of thousands of people. Its offering includes free phone customer support based in Maine and a money-back guarantee. The site includes testimonials from customers who mention years of product use and improvements in their symptoms.
