L.A. Endocrine Care

We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our beloved Nancy Perley, a dedicated Nurse Practitioner. Her unwavering commitment to patient care touched countless lives throughout her dedicated career. Nancy's compassionate spirit and clinical acumen were truly special. She approached her work with profound empathy and a genuine desire to make a difference. Her absence will be keenly felt by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

A tough year of trying to get so much in. I had to retake my boards and it was so tough, I studied so much but still felt like it wasn't enough. I was so worried about having to do again. So many people sacrificed for me, including my patients. I wouldn't of been able to do this feat without my beautiful staff at LA Endocrine Care, my family, my dad who is my biggest cheerleader. Thank you all for the positive comments and praying for me. Thank you🙏. 2026 is going to be a year of growth for LA Endocrine Care. We will be a force to reckon with in Los Angeles and I will start my journey of teaching the next generation.

Enriching our minds at Endocrine Society Meeting 2025, in San Francisco. Learning the latest information to bring back to our patients. Also had some much needed fun.

Another great group of medical students rotating through L.A. Endocrine Care! They're all going to make great doctors meeting the needs of our communities. Thank you to our patients who help our students grow into being great doctors.

An update on our Long Beach Office: one of our Nurse Practitioners, Gary, has departed to pursue other opportunities. We extend our best wishes to him. We are actively seeking a replacement and, in the interim, are making every effort to accommodate his patients. Dr. Echeverry-Franck has assumed care for many of his patients, with support from our experienced Nurse Practitioner, Nancy Perley, who brings over 30 years of expertise to our team. Additionally, our clinical pharmacist, who is bilingual and highly invested in diabetes care, will also contribute to patient care under Dr. Echeverry's supervision. One of Dr. Echeverry-Franck's objectives is to undertake a comprehensive update on all Endocrinology topics through attendance at multiple conferences and reviews this year. We appreciate the patience and understanding of our current patients. We are committed to maintaining the high standards of our practice and are confident that even better developments are forthcoming.

Another reason to do triathlons!!

Woohoo good for my brain!

Triathlon training can protect against Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, dementia, and age-related cognitive decline. A Neuroscientist explains.

I always tell my patients that you need to move in addition to exercise to lose weight, an example I always bring up is how children when they're little especially when they're thin, all they do is move, and they can't sit still, for example, they're walking down the street and they're skipping or doing cartwheels. As we get older, we stop moving as much. And we start gaining weight. No, I'm not saying let's do cart wheels as we walk down the street, but let's get up and move. Any extra activity we do during the day counts towards our health, especially improving our cardiovascular health. This gives us an edge on weight loss. So adding steps to your day, sitting and standing more.....all counts to improved health.

Pondering the question ‘what is non-exercise activity thermogenesis?’ We reveal everything you need to know, including how many calories it burns and how to increase your NEAT
