Community Highlights: Meet Stephanie Rodriguez of SheMedConsult

Today we’d like to introduce you to Stephanie Rodriguez

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I’m a small-town girl from Amado, AZ, and my passion for health started early. Growing up with a parent who battled illness, both physically and mentally, I saw firsthand how important proper care and support are. That experience shaped my path in the medical field, where I’ve now been for 16 years. I started out working with chiropractors and then moved into integrated practices that combined medical care, chiropractic, nutrition, and exercise. I launched my first company, The Health Bar LA 2019, focusing on nutritional counseling, pre-operative clearances, and peptide therapy. From there, in 2022 I transitioned to working with Under Pressure Hyperbarics, integrating my services while also assisting with marketing and business development. Most recently, I’ve started a collaboration with Calicia Care, where we’ll be working closely with clients to support them both before and after surgery. Helping others feel their best has always been my passion, and I love being able to make a difference in people’s lives

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road. Starting a business right before a pandemic was a huge challenge—we had to work hard to build clientele and keep momentum going with so much uncertainty. But we kept pushing forward, adapting as needed, and learning along the way.

Before the pandemic, working with peptides was much more straightforward. But now, with so much misinformation on social media, it has become more challenging to educate clients and clear up misconceptions. A big part of my work is helping people navigate the best path to optimal health. I utilize lab work to take a personalized approach, ensuring each client gets the right guidance and treatments to optimize their health effectively

We’ve been impressed with SheMedConsult, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I created SheMedConsult, short for ‘Sheila Medical Consulting,’ because I love connecting the dots between businesses and medical professionals. With my extensive background in the medical field, I use my experience to bring services that I believe in—ones I’ve personally seen work firsthand.

I have knowledge in all areas of a medical practice, from business operations and medical billing to marketing and consulting. Currently, I focus on consulting for nutrition and peptide therapy while also handling sales and marketing at Under Pressure Hyperbarics.

What sets me apart is that I come from a place of personal experience. I’ve struggled with body dysmorphia, and throughout my journey, I’ve often been misguided and treated as just another number rather than an individual with unique needs. That experience has given me a deep understanding of how important it is to feel seen, heard, and supported. I take pride in using my own struggles to help others become happy and healthy. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to wellness, and I help people find the path that works best for them.

By utilizing all of our different longevity services—including Comprehensive lab lab panels, peptide therapy, HBOT therapy, STYKU body scanning, red light therapy, and IV therapy—I help guide clients onto the right path while providing visual findings to track their progress along the way. Everything we do is physician-monitored, and we use only medical-grade products to ensure the highest level of safety, effectiveness, and care for our clients

Any big plans?
My plans for the future are to continue expanding my collaborations and knowledge. I love working with others to not only help businesses succeed but also to improve human health. Growth and education are at the core of everything I do, and I’m always looking for new ways to bring innovative, effective solutions to more people.

I’m hoping to expand into other states and, when the time is right, take my work international. That’s the ultimate goal—to make a meaningful impact on a larger scale while continuing to provide high-quality, physician-monitored care and medical-grade services
