With her mothers permission we are able to share this sweet girls testimony! After seeing other doctors, even specialists in houston, with not much improvement, she struggled severely with her skin. We started her on the detox and she is much better today! Heres what her mother had to say…

These photos are 7 years apart… but they feel like a lifetime…

Peyton’s eczema began at just 3 weeks old. From that moment on, our lives were filled with steroids, antibiotics, specialists, sleepless nights, and watching our baby suffer in ways no child should have to endure.

We tried everything. And still, the flare-ups kept coming.

But we made her a promise—we would never stop fighting for her healing!

After being led to NP Hanks by a former patient’s testimony, we nervously began our CellCore journey. After a few weeks, everything began to change. For the first time in her life, we watched her skin clear.

Today, she is happy. She is comfortable. She is free!

The only words I can use to describe it is LIFE CHANGING!

If you’re in the middle of the fight for yourself or your child, don’t give up! There is hope and NP Hanks and her entire team will do everything they can to help you get there! 🩷

If you had an appointment scheduled for Monday then we have already tried to contact you to reschedule. We will have our phones on and be available as long as we have electricity and service.

We’re growing! 🌿 Help us welcome our new peptide advisor! We are so excited to have her passion and knowledge join our team!

Hi, my name is Dolly Weldon. I am the new Peptide Advisor at Hanks Health & Wellness. I am from DeRidder where I live with my husband of 30yrs, Mark Weldon. I have battled an autoimmune disease called hashimotos for 26 years. I’ve tried all the treatments, diets, medications… and continued getting worse year by year. I have been a patient of Shannon’s for almost 4 years now, and between getting my hormones & thyroid under control and detox, things were finally improving. In the past year I have added peptides to my treatment regimen and through extensive research have managed to finally get a handle on this disease. My journey with autoimmune challenges has equipped me with a unique perspective and a deep understanding of the healing process. I am committed to utilizing my experience and knowledge as the Peptide Advisor at Hanks Health and Wellness to support others in their pursuit of health and wellness. Together, we can explore innovative therapies and personalized approaches to achieve optimal well-being.

Hello everyone,

I want to first apologize for the lack of post. I earnestly should be making more post and spreading this knowledge more thoroughly than I have. I can only claim life and growth has been insane.
As you all know, I went to Dallas this week for training. I am super excited about the knowledge God has blessed me with.
From the beginning of this journey, God has led all knowledge. Everything we do is God given, God driven.
He has shown me how to begin the health journey starting with hormones as the workers. Then, He brought in the thyroid as the boss. Later, He brought in how to reclaim and heal the gut. Now, He has brought in maintenance and repair at a microcellular level.
Each step, has grown and enlightened on how to heal the body thoroughly from head to toe. I can honestly say this has been amazing and frustrating all at the same time. He allowed me to experience the worst case scenarios so that I could experience those patients that still have roadblocks; the ones that aren’t an easy fix.
I have managed to perfect my hormones, perfect my thyroid for the first time in 20 years, and heal my gut. I am down 75 lbs. I feel amazing. But, I could still feel inflammation at a cellular level. God has been speaking to me about peptides, but I always had an excuse for time. He finally pushed hard enough. We made the journey to Dallas, and I am so grateful. So many things that I was hesitant or confused on, made so much sense now. I have no shame in stating I don’t know it all and that I will always be learning and growing.
The next step of this phase is for everyone but especially those who have hit road blocks with weight, poor sleep, poor stress, continued anxiety, and continued gut issues despite detoxification. This next step will focus on healing stress levels, evaluating cortisol levels, healing insulin resistance, and repairing and maintaining leaky gut.
In the following weeks we will introduce new staff to help us accomplish these goals, and each week we will introduce new products and peptides.
We still have great surprises and more new beginnings coming in this new year. We look forward to our journey together.

PS: We recently came across several glitches in our billing system and have taken the time to figure them out. You may be receiving bills in the mail for the first time. Please feel free to contact the office at any time with questions or concerns. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
