You try to get back on track, do well for a while, life gets busy, your body does not respond the way you hoped, and suddenly you’re back to blaming yourself for not having enough discipline.

We see this all the time, and most of the time, the answer is not that you need to be harder on yourself. You probably need better information, medical guidance, and a plan that can adjust with you instead of falling apart the second life gets messy. We want to grow old with you, not hand you a plan once and send you on your way.

Your plan might change at every visit because your life changes between every visit. Your health changes. Your stress changes. Your schedule changes. Your needs change.

Oh, and because this matters a lot: WE TAKE INSURANCE!

Have you ever felt like you know what to do, you’re trying to do it, and it still is not working the way it should? That can be one of the most frustrating parts of struggling with weight.

Most people are taught to believe it all comes down to eating less and moving more. But stress, anxiety, depression, poor sleep, hormones, trauma, and medications can all influence appetite, energy, cravings, routines, and weight.

Sometimes the issue is not lack of effort. Sometimes the picture is bigger than people realize.

Our newest provider, Payton Piatz, DNP has a strong background in mental health and a passion for helping patients feel better physically and emotionally.

She wrote a blog about the connection between mental health and weight, and why understanding both matters.

Happy 4️⃣0️⃣th birthday Cody!! 🎉 The man who was prescribing GLP-1s in 2018 while the rest of the world didn’t even know how to pronounce semaglutide.

Hopefully you’re getting some time at the golf sim today at birdiesathleticclub because this snow said absolutely not to any outdoor courses.

Fueled by dietcoke and alaninutrition energy drinks and hopefully eating a juicy and bloody burger 🍔

Go and wish this man a happy 40th in the comments! 🥳

This is your sign to stop overthinking dinner 📣

4 ingredients, 20 minutes, done.

•protein pasta
•turkey meatballs
•pasta sauce
•cottage cheese

Blend the whole tub of cottage cheese with the sauce with a food processor or blender. It turns into a creamy sauce and you won’t even know it’s in there, but you get the protein and makes about 7 servings.

Each serving is about:
• 40g protein
• 8g fiber

Cost breakdown:
• meatballs $9
• pasta $3.50
• cottage cheese $3.29
• sauce $2.50

Total: $18.29
That’s about $2.60 per serving.

If you’re trying to stay consistent daily:
•aim for at least 100g protein
•aim for 25 to 35g fiber

Would you try this or does cottage cheese in pasta scare you a little 😅

Phone and messaging access is limited while work is being done at the clinic today.

Scheduled telehealth visits are still happening as planned.

We will be back to normal operations March 19 at 8:00 AM and will return messages as soon as we can.

Thanks for your patience while we improve the clinic.

A little humor for the things our patients deal with all the time. And our marketing manager may have had a little too much fun making these.

If you’ve ever had to deal with health insurance, been told GLP-1s are “the easy way out,” or had someone with internet access and no medical degree give unsolicited prescription advice to you, you get it.

Which one of these made you feel seen?
