🌸 October is Women’s Small Business Month! 🌸
🌸 Why I Started County NP 🌸
When I first began, this was just a side hustle. I believed — and still believe — that GLP-1 medications are transforming the way we approach obesity, disease prevention, and weight loss. I wanted to be part of that change, offering people a more affordable and realistic option than what’s out there.
But what started as “just weight loss” quickly grew into something much bigger.
✨ I dove into the science of peptides and found real answers for patients who wanted to prevent disease instead of waiting until it had already arrived.
✨ I expanded into learning more about nutrition, hormones, and true wellness — because they’re all connected.
✨ I discovered how transformative hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can be — for both men and women — and how much it impacts energy, mood, and quality of life.
✨ And I became passionate about supporting sexual health and vitality, because health is about thriving, not just surviving.
County NP has grown into more than a clinic. It’s a space built on the belief that prevention, affordability, and empowerment belong in medicine.
So during Women’s Small Business Month, I want to say thank you — for trusting me, for choosing a local, woman-owned business, and for supporting this mission. When you walk through our doors, you’re not just coming to a clinic…you’re joining a movement for health, healing, and hope. 💙
