📞“Can you take care of this?”- The alternative was a 6-hour ER wait. 🏥

This was a phone call I got this Sunday afternoon.

My answer? Yes. I’ll meet you at the clinic.

I love walking into this space every day. I play music. I have a diffuser going. Almost everyone comments on how calm it feels — and it makes me smile every time, because it’s intentional. 💕

In moments like tonight, calm matters.

I got there ahead of them and got everything ready. By the time they arrived, the room was set.

There were nerves at first — understandably. It had already been a long day. But we slowed it down. Step by step.

We chatted the whole time. Laughed. Shared stories. Didn’t rush.

Five stitches later, it felt like friends hanging out.

Weird, right?

I don’t mean that in a sappy way. I mean it in a human way. When no one is rushing, when there’s space to breathe, care feels different.

It didn’t become a scary core memory. It became… manageable.

This is one of the things I love most about Direct Primary Care

Not just access.
Not just convenience.

But the way care feels. 🦁💛

Want to get a feel for what Lionheart is all about before making a decision? 🦁💛

✨ We’re launching a Discovery Visit — a 1:1 conversation to learn how our model works, ask your questions, and see if we’re the right fit for your family.

The best part? You can schedule directly from our website https://lionheartdpc.com by clicking “non member visits”

That same link is also the place to book InBody body composition analysis and ear piercing appointments, both open to the entire community.

We’ve been growing steadily, and it’s been encouraging to see how quickly families are embracing this model of care. If Lionheart has been on your mind, now is a really good time to explore it and learn more. 💕

And stay tuned — we have two new services launching in the coming weeks that we’ve been working hard behind the scenes to bring to you. We’re beyond excited to share more soon. ☺️

Healthcare, the way it should be. 🧡

💤 💊Why I’m cautious about long-term melatonin use in kids…

Melatonin isn’t just a sleep vitamin - it’s a hormone.

Most OTC doses are 3–10 mg, while physiologic levels are closer to 0.1–0.5 mg. That’s a meaningful difference.

Good sleep quality is crucial for everyone — but especially for developing brains. And let’s be honest… for parental sanity too. 😅

Short-term reset? reasonable.
Nightly long-term use? I’m cautious.

Watch the video for why. ⏯️ 🦁🧡

Have you struggled with bedtime and sleep in your house? We did! And sticking to routines paid off !!!

🌙 Why am I standing outside the clinic on a Saturday night?

Because one of my Lionheart families needed me.

Here’s how it went down:

Mom texted me directly through our app and sent a video. The issue was evident — and I knew that without intervention, this child would likely end up in the ER.

We discussed a couple of safe, reasonable things to try at home first. When it was clear we needed more, we met at the office.

We tested for a few things.
We gave a couple of medications.

From first text to leaving our office? Under 90 minutes. ⏱️

Cost? $28 for the medications.

The visit? Included.
After-hours messaging directly with her child’s doctor? Included.
Testing? Included.

Now contrast that with a typical Saturday night issue:
• Call an after-hours service line → “Go to the ER.”
• Sit in a waiting room for hours with a sick child.
• Leave with a bill that can easily run into the thousands.

This isn’t about criticizing ERs — they are essential and lifesaving.

It’s about having another layer of care. A pediatrician who knows your child. Who can triage in real time. Who can step in early when appropriate.

Direct Primary Care means access.
It means continuity.
It means options before panic sets in.

In the few months we’ve been open, we’ve already had several moments like this — quiet saves. They may go unnoticed by many, but not by the families involved. And that’s what matters.

Every single one reinforces exactly why we do this. 🦁💛

It’s healthcare made simple - the way healthcare should be.

This week, Amy from Amy's Flowers surprised us with a beautiful arrangement — completely unexpected and simply kind!! 🥹

For years, she’s been my go-to when I want to send a little love for a celebration, a hard season, or just because.

She puts great care into every piece she creates, and she’s quietly been a part of so many of our own big moments — when we welcomed our babies, flowers my husband sent after long days at work, anniversaries, Mother’s Day, and even the opening of Lionheart 🦁🧡

Amy, my dear friend — you’ve been here through all of it. 🩷

Our community is lucky to have people like Amy who bless others daily with their gifts. 💐

Thank you. It truly meant a lot.

🧪❌ Ever open a lab result and feel your heart skip when you see “abnormal”?

Transparency matters. But access to viewing your labs alone doesn’t bring peace of mind — understanding does.

A single flagged number rarely tells the whole story. What families truly need is context: how those results fit together, what’s actually meaningful, and what’s not.

Reassurance doesn’t come from data alone. It comes from conversation. 👩🏼‍⚕️🧡

One of the things families appreciate about Direct Primary Care is how easy it becomes to talk through issues with your clinician - no middlemen, no delays

Because no parent should sit alone with something that worries them.

When it comes to labs, are you:
A — Check instantly 🏃🏽‍♀️‍➡️
B — Resist the urge 🦸🏻‍♀️
C — What labs? 😅

If eye drop time turns your sweet child into a tiny UFC fighter… this one’s for you 👀👇

When giving eye drops, pull the lower lid down — not the upper lid up. It’s easier, gentler, and more likely to allow you to sink those 💦 in

I know I’ve had to put my kids in head locks from time to time 😅. How about you???

Good luck out there fellow parents!!! 🐊🤼

Am I the only hard-core millennial that finds this gen Z heart shape way harder?! 😅

Also, note the side part - because middle parts are not even an option for me!

Happy V- Day, no matter your 🩷 shape choices! 😜

When something isn’t working for us, we can stay where we are—or we can choose a different approach⏭️ 🦁🧡

Direct Primary Care isn’t for everyone, and that’s okay. But it is a choice—just like so many others we make in service of our health and peace of mind.

Choosing the traditional system often means accepting its structure, limits, and delays.
⛔️ Waiting weeks for an appointment—sometimes only to be rescheduled.
⛔️ Seeing a rotation of providers instead of someone who truly knows you.
⛔️Calling after hours and reaching an answering service, then waiting until the next business day.

That system works for many people. And for others, it simply doesn’t.

Choosing DPC means choosing something that may sound different at first—and it is—because once you experience it, it feels VERY different… in the very BEST way.
✅ It allows time to be thorough.
✅ It makes space for real relationships.
✅ Care becomes intentional, reliable, and EASY—almost surprisingly so.

Neither path is wrong. They’re simply different.

If you’ve been feeling like traditional healthcare isn’t quite working for you, this is just a reminder: you have options.

✨ Choose the care that fits your life.✨

We’re different—because we choose to be.🦁🧡

🥛 This Surprises a Lot of Families

One of the most common nutrition conversations I have in clinic is about cow’s milk—and how too much of it can quietly contribute to iron deficiency anemia in toddlers.

This is exactly why we screen for anemia at certain well visits. It’s not rare, it’s preventable, and it often comes down to balance and diet variety during a critical stage of development.

This is what preventive care should look like: simple, proactive conversations that help families understand the why behind recommendations and support long-term health—not just treat problems later.

Watch the video to see what we discuss with our families! 🦁💛
