I really Get it!

As a Nurse Practitioner who has struggled with weight all my life I watched the coming of GLP-1 medications for weight loss with great interest. I work in clinical research and have worked on several studies using these medications.  I learned how to dose, manage side effects, and about lifestyle changes that can maximize weight loss. I watched patients successfully lose weight and keep it off and I realized the life changing effect these medications could have for me too. I tried to get it covered by my insurance only to be told I didn't qualify because I wasn't diabetic. Unfortunately, there was no way I could afford $1200 a month for the cash price. Yet, I new I was on my way to diabetes and other health problems despite my best efforts to lose weight. Then, I heard that GLP-1's were being made at specialized compounding pharmacies that were much less expensive. 

I started GLP-1's at a health clinic and was thrilled with the results! However, none of the nurses or doctors there had ever struggled with weight and didn't really understand the science of overweight/obesity and what it was like to struggle with weight. Honestly, I felt they were greedily charging too much, and weren't particularly good at managing the medication. As I continued to lose weight I had several friends approach me for help. I soon realized that I could help myself and them for less, and do a better job because of my clinical and personal experience. It grew from there and now I have my own business with a goal to offer understanding, expertise, and low cost for my patients.  

Join me on this journey to better health and well being!
