APRN — Core Memberships · Humanaut Health
Core Membership APRN at Grove ATX, blending UCSF primary-care training with functional medicine, hormones, peptides, and women's health
About
Heather Yoshimura, APRN is the Core Membership clinician at Humanaut Health Austin. She trained as an Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner at UCSF, worked in medical research at Function Health under Mark Hyman, MD, and joined Humanaut as one of its founding clinicians alongside Amy Killen, MD. Her training stack includes IFM's AFMCP, A4M peptide certification, WorldLink Medical bioidentical-hormone training, pain reprocessing therapy, sexual-health education, and culinary medicine.
What to Know
Signature approach
Yoshimura is the quarter-to-quarter clinician for Austin Core/Path members. Her work centers on reading Humanaut's 700+ biomarker baseline, adjusting hormone, peptide, GLP-1, gut, sleep, and lifestyle protocols, and helping members make the plan usable between visits. Her separate Luteal Health practice gives her a deeper women's-health and endometriosis lens, but the Humanaut role is broader adult longevity care.
What sets them apart
- Founding clinician. She helped build Humanaut's early health-optimization programs rather than joining after the model was fully formed.
- Function Health research background. Her work under Mark Hyman, MD connects lab interpretation and functional-medicine protocols to a consumer-health model.
- Heavy educational footprint. She has authored 300+ Rupa Health articles and wrote The Endo Dilemma.
- Women's-health depth. Luteal Health adds endometriosis, pelvic pain, hormone, and nervous-system context to her longevity work.
Before You Book
- Core/Path track. Austin Core members work with Yoshimura; Premium/Bond members are routed differently.
- In-person Humanaut care. Humanaut is clinic-based, with messaging and prescription management between visits.
- Separate practice. Luteal Health is her independent endometriosis-focused telehealth practice and is distinct from Humanaut membership.
- Confirm supervision. She practices within Humanaut PLLC under the company's physician leadership structure.
