✨ Meet Bea! ✨
Bea (aka Diana) joined our team this past summer as one of our Patient Care Coordinators. She describes herself as kind, empathetic, and funny, which shines through in the way she connects with patients.

A fun fact about Bea: she once worked as a CNN Radio Correspondent, where she was often the go to for just how cold it was outside.

Outside of work, Bea enjoys creating projects like paper crafts and sweet treats to share with friends. She also dreams of visiting Paris to take in the art, fashion, and food. 🇫🇷

✈️ Show Bea some love and let us know if you hopped on a plane tomorrow, where would you go?

Today Cody and Stephanie had the chance to advocate for GLP-1 coverage at Blue Cross Blue Shield of ND, bringing their perspective as obesity specialists.

Coverage changes are unfortunately a reality, but we’ll always 🤜 keep fighting the good fight 🤛 so patients can continue getting the treatment they deserve.

Now is the time to ask your employer about any coverage changes coming in 2026. If you’re losing access to your medication, let your Progress provider know and we’ll work with you on a transition plan that makes sense for your health and goals.

If there was one thing we could prescribe, it would be for everyone to strength train 💪

From GGS Academy Founder :⁠
⁠
"Remember: It’s NEVER too late to start lifting weights. 🏋️‍♀️⁠
⁠
If you sit in a chair, you squat.⁠
If you pick up a box, you deadlift.⁠
If you put something on a high shelf, you overhead press.⁠
⁠
Don't let the idea that you have to lift super heavy weights intimidate you or keep you from starting.⁠
⁠
Even lifting weights twice a week for 20-30 minutes can build:⁠
⁠
✅ Strength⁠
✅ Muscle mass⁠
✅ Bone density⁠
✅ Confidence & self-efficacy⁠
✅ And reduce frailty⁠
⁠
The best time to start was years ago. The second best time? RIGHT NOW. 🤗⁠"⁠
⁠
This is your reminder that it's never too late. You are never too old. 💪

✨ Meet Alayna! ✨
She’s one of our Patient Care Coordinators and one of the first to welcome you at Progress.

Alayna joined our team in November 2024 and quickly became such a positive part of our clinic family.

She’s also a full-time NDSU student working toward her master’s in Nutrition Science with a minor in psychology.

When she’s not helping patients or studying, you can usually find her on the pickleball court, hiking a new trail, or sipping coffee at a local shop.

Fun fact: Alayna is a Leap Day baby, so she only gets a real birthday every four years! 🎂

Drop a 💚 in the comments to show Alayna some love and let us know if you’re a fellow pickleball fan or Leap Day twin!
