:📣 New Blog Post Alert! 📣

Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs): What are they and why do they matter?

Most people think CGMs are just for type 1 diabetics or type 2 diabetics who use insulin—but there’s more to the story. In our latest blog post, we break down the basics of CGMs, their traditional role in diabetes management, and the exciting ways they can also help people without diabetes gain insight into their daily habits, food choices, sleep, and stress.

If you’ve ever wondered how your lifestyle really impacts your blood sugar, a CGM might give you the answers.

Zach’s making the looooooong 13-hour trek back to school this week 🚗💨… and we started debating the most essential road trip snack. 🍫🥨☕ What’s your ride-or-die travel snack?

Dr Garland, you’re never ever ever ever allowed to leave me ever again. 👯

Big changes at the front desk—one goodbye, one warm hello!

In what feels like no time at all, Zach has traded answering phones for chasing soccer balls! He’s headed back to Pennsylvania to start his junior year and gear up for the collegiate soccer season ⚽️. We suppose higher education is a pretty good excuse for leaving us.

Thankfully, our front desk is now in great hands with Nyla—fresh from graduating at UNC Chapel Hill and already working toward her goal of becoming a Physician Assistant (PA… not Pennsylvania, we’ve had enough of that 😉).

We’re wishing Zach all the best on the field and in the classroom, and we’re so excited to have Nyla as the new friendly face to welcome you when you visit!

“But what if I can’t?”
That was the voice in my head when I left the “security” of traditional healthcare in 2020.

I never doubted my decision to leave—
I knew the system was broken, and I couldn’t keep practicing in it.
I only feared the unknown.

Now? Thriving practice. Amazing team. Dream physician partner. Second location coming soon.

“But what if I can?”
Turns out… I could.
