You’ve probably heard the buzz about GLP-1 medications…
But what exactly do they do?

Think of GLP-1s as helpers that work with your body’s natural rhythm.
These medications mimic a hormone your body already makes, and can:

✔️ Balance blood sugar
✔️ Slow digestion—so you feel fuller, longer
✔️ Support healthy weight management

Originally developed for diabetes care, GLP-1s are now helping many people reach their health goals in safe, sustainable ways.

Like any treatment, GLP-1s aren’t for everyone—but under a doctor’s guidance, they can be a powerful tool for the right person.

At Blossom Family Medicine, we believe in personalized, compassionate care. If you’re curious about whether GLP-1s may be right for you, we’re here to walk alongside you—every step of the way

Blossom vs. Traditional Care: What’s the Difference?

7-minute visits? Endless waiting rooms? Feeling like just a number?
That’s not Blossom.

It’s healthcare designed around you—and my patients say it’s a true game-changer.

👀 What’s hiding in your medicine cabinet?

Expired or unused meds don’t just take up space—they can be unsafe.
Here’s when it’s time to let go:
✔️ Expired date
✔️Pills look or smell “off”
✔️Can’t remember what it’s for
✔️Dose or medication has changed

Safe disposal options:
• Pharmacy take-back programs (best!)
• Disposal pouches from your pharmacy
• Mix with coffee grounds/kitty litter, seal & toss
• Flush only if the label says it’s safe

A quick cleanup = safer home + healthier environment.
Together, we’ll Blossom.

Labs won’t tell you that you’re in perimenopause… symptoms do.

Move over menopause—let’s talk perimenopause.

We now know menopause is more than just hot flashes and the end of periods. The hormone shifts of perimenopause (which can last 4–7 years) often bring many of the same symptoms, including:
✨ Sleep disturbances
✨ Mood or memory changes
✨ Urinary urgency or bowel changes
✨ Body composition changes

And while cycles can become heavier or irregular, pregnancy is still possible—so don’t forget about contraception until menopause is confirmed.

Perimenopause is divided into early and late phases. A hallmark of late perimenopause? When cycles space out by more than 2 months (without birth control).

This season can be confusing, but you don’t have to go through it alone.

Only 250 Patients. That’s It.

At Blossom, it’s not about volume.
It’s about you.

We intentionally keep Dr. Marabella’s panel small (around 250–300 patients) so she can give more time, more access, and more meaningful care.

Spots are limited—because your health deserves more than a rushed visit. Sign up today!
