Kathy Maupin, MD
Dr. Kathy Maupin is the founder and Medical Director of BioBalance® Health and the most experienced bio-identical hormone replacement doctor in the Midwest. She specializes in replacing testosterone and estradiol with pellets, and providing preventive medicine to women and men over 40. Before dedicating all of her time to BioBalance® Health, she practiced for more than 30 years in Obstetrics and Gynecology. In 1986 she began treating her menopausal patients with testosterone in the form of transdermal delivery systems and vaginal tabs; all during a time when the overwhelming majority of physicians refused to even consider that women needed testosterone.
Dr. Maupin created BioBalance® Health in 2002 to formalize her treatment techniques utilizing bioidentical non-micronized hormone pellet treatments. This natural and preventive therapy helps alleviate the symptoms and diseases of aging. Since 2009, she has devoted 100% of her time to her BioBalance® Health pellet practice and has never looked back.
For Dr. Maupin, helping women and men renew their health and passion for life is not merely a professional goal - it is a personal quest. Dr. Maupin had a hysterectomy at the age of 47 and immediately began to experience symptoms of listlessness, fatigue, loss of focus and concentration, and irritability. She felt like her brain had been removed with her ovaries! As a last resort, she began treatment with bioidentical testosterone hormone pellet replacement therapy from Dr. Gino Tutera, MD. Dr. Maupin quickly regained her own energy and health. She was then trained by Dr. Tutera and now, she can successfully say, that she has brought countless women and men back to vibrant health with testosterone and estradiol pellet therapy. BioBalance® Health has treated patients from 46 states and 9 foreign countries. Dr. Maupin’s practice is truly known worldwide!
Realizing that pellet hormone replacement is the foundation for healthy aging, but not the only factor that needed attention to promote healthy aging, Dr. Maupin expanded her practice. BioBalance® Health is a preventive medicine/longevity practice which includes preventive treatment for diabetes, heart disease, nutritional deficits, obesity, dementia and other diseases of aging. Her long-term patients tell her, and anyone else who will listen, that she gave them their life and youth back.
Dr. Maupin has been Board-Certified by the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology since 1989. She is currently working on her Certification from AMMG and the Longevity Physician Organization. In 2016 she opened her own medical spa, BioBalance® Skin, to partner with BioBalance® Health. She has created both practices to be a place where she would enjoy being a patient. BioBalance® Skin is where Dr.
Maupin goes for esthetic treatments to help her look as good as she feels on BioBalance® Health’s estradiol and testosterone pellets.
To further spread the word to women over 40 about testosterone replacement with bio-identical non-micronized pellets, in 2006 she began to air a weekly healthcast and blog. This is featured on YouTube, Podcast channels, and her website www.BioBalancehealth.com. Her hope is to educate the public about the most effective hormone treatment to delay the aging process, and she also addresses other important medical topics that will help her listeners make the right medical decisions to promote their health as they age. Dr. Maupin has written and produced more than 650 healthcasts and blogs that parallel the weekly videos.
Dr. Maupin is also politically active in womens’ health issues. With her lawyer husband, John, she helped lead the effort that resulted in Missouri’s passage of a law protecting women’s rights to receive care from OB/GYNs without a referral, and for insurance to cover mammograms, bone density testing, reconstructive surgery after breast cancer, and coverage for birth control pills. She is also the founder of St. Louis’ Medical Society's Political Action Committee, “Physicians for Sound Healthcare Policy”.
Dr. Maupin’s daughter, Rachel Maupin Sullivan DO, joined her as her partner in BioBalance® Health and BioBalance® Skin in 2015 after she finished her training in Family Medicine. Their women owned practice employs 5 NPs, 4 RNs, an esthetician and many wonderful staff members who take care of their patients at BioBalance® Health and BioBalance® Skin the way she would like to be taken care of herself. The success of their medical practice is due in part to every person on their staff.
Now that Dr. Maupin is 70 years old, and healthier than when she was 47 when she started her own estradiol and testosterone pellet therapy, she tells everyone that she is just getting started!
