Little secret…we already had the best price around but now it’s even better!

💉 Immunity Shot: Glutathione + Vitamin C + Zinc
•Glutathione is your body’s “master antioxidant” – it helps manage oxidative stress and fine-tunes immune responses at the cellular level so your immune system can stay sharp, not fried.
•Vitamin C supports white blood cells and has been shown in multiple trials to slightly shorten the duration and severity of common colds when used regularly.
•Zinc is essential for normal immune function and helps your immune cells communicate and respond more effectively.

💊 Oral Zinc Bisglycinate
We pair the shot with highly absorbed zinc bisglycinate, a gentle, well-absorbed form of zinc that supports:
• Immune health
• Skin and tissue repair
• Healthy inflammation balance

🔎 A quick nerd note
Research suggests:
• Regular vitamin C can modestly reduce how long colds last in many people. 
• Zinc plays a key “gatekeeper” role in immune cell function and signaling. 
• Zinc taken at the right dose and form has been associated with shorter cold duration in some randomized trials. 
• Glutathione is a critical antioxidant that helps regulate immune responses; oral glutathione has been shown to increase body stores in healthy adults. 

🧩 Supplements are just ONE piece of the immunity puzzle
For a truly resilient system, don’t skip the basics:
• 💤 7–9 hours of high-quality sleep
• 🥗 Protein + colorful plants at each meal
• 🚶‍♀️ Daily movement (even 10–20 mins counts)
• 🧼 Handwashing + not sharing drinks/utensils
• 😌 Stress care: breathwork, prayer, journaling, time outside

📲 call the clinic to schedule your immunity shot - you do not need to be a member to participate.

This is general educational info, not personal medical advice. Always check with your healthcare provider if you’re pregnant, nursing, on medications, or have chronic health conditions before starting new supplements. Long term oral zinc should not be done without copper or further medical recommendations.

Afternoon crashes aren’t normal! Everyone talks about cravings, weight gain, or belly fat…
but one of the earliest and most overlooked signs of insulin resistance is:

👉 The 2–4pm crash.

If you:
• suddenly get exhausted
• feel foggy or irritable
• crave sugar or salt
• need caffeine to push through
• feel shaky, moody, or ‘off’
…your blood sugar and insulin are likely talking to you.

Here’s what’s happening inside your body ⤵️
When insulin surges too high after meals, your blood sugar tanks afterward.
Your brain freaks out.
Your energy plummets.
Your body screams for quick fuel.

And THIS is often the first red flag long before labs become abnormal.

The good news?
Insulin resistance is reversible with the right strategy — nutrition, muscle, sleep, stress, and targeted care.

If this hit home, you’re not alone. And you’re not broken.

You just need a plan and a bit of discipline to get you out of this.

For starters…when is the last time you had your insulin checked or even discussed this with your doc? What did you learn?

I am accepting patients and we focus heavily on metabolic health at Resolute Integrative Health where we do things much different.

Share with someone who could use a helping hand. Like and follow for more useful health education that makes sense.

You will find us in Rogue River serving the greater southern Oregon area.

There’s something you deserve to know about weight loss medications like Wegovy®, Ozempic®, Zepbound®, Mounjaro®

Many people have been paying WAY more than they need to — not because the meds are just a big investment, but because some clinics roll everything (coaching, visits, injections, overhead) into one giant price and present it as “just the medication.”

Here’s the real story 👇

💊 As of recent updates and costs, Brand-name Wegovy® this week announced 199 monthly price and Zepbound® in the last few months lowered to $500/month self-pay.

That’s dramatically more affordable than what many boutique/“premium” weight-loss clinics have been charging.

🧪 Branded meds are also more predictable — you know exactly what you’re getting.
Compounded GLP-1s absolutely have their place (especially for slow titrations, twice-weekly dosing, intolerance, or shortages), and I still use them when they’re clinically appropriate…
But patients should always know WHAT they’re paying for and WHY.

🤝 If a clinic includes coaching, expertise, support, or medical oversight in their fee — that’s valid and valuable.
But it should be transparent.
You deserve to know what portion is the medication vs. what portion is the treatment.

This is why I speak up.
This is why I opened Resolute Integrative Health.
Integrity matters.
Transparency matters.
Your trust matters.

If you’re confused about what you’re paying for — or want help navigating the safest, most cost-effective weight loss plan — DM me “GLP-1” and I’ll walk you through your options.

We are accepting patients and currently growing our business owner and employer group options for primary care here in Rogue River. Share with your friends who are looking.

If you have high blood pressure, I bet that you asked this question, “will I be on meds forever? “

Here’s the truth on what you’re dealing with and what needs to happen in order for you to not be on it forever.

1️⃣ your blood pressure is a pattern, not a single number in time. One high reading doesn’t mean you have actual hypertension. Many things affect these numbers that are temporary. Addressing those corrects the issue.

2️⃣ Many people can eventually reduce or STOP their meds.

This happens when we address the real contributors:
✔ unmanaged stress
✔ nutrient deficiencies
✔ sleep apnea
✔ hormone imbalance (men & women!)
✔ chronic inflammation
✔ sedentary desk-life
✔ insulin resistance
✔ alcohol habits
✔ poor BP cuff technique
✔ dehydration

When those pieces improve, many patients gradually need less medication — some come off entirely.

But “cold turkey” is never the answer.
We taper safely and watch how your numbers respond.

3️⃣ My philosophy at Resolute Integrative Health:

Medication is a bridge, not a life sentence.
Sometimes we need it.
Sometimes we don’t.
Sometimes we use it short-term to keep you safe while your body heals.

But I will never put you on something “just because.”
My job is to figure out what your body is trying to say and help you get healthier, stronger, and more in control.

4️⃣ sadly, I often see people delaying care for years because they were worried about the long-term treatment plan. This is what causes the damage which makes it harder for me to only treat in the short term. Real damage occurs with delay that is lifelong.

High blood pressure doesn’t have to be scary.
You just need a plan, a guide, and someone who actually listens.

do you or someone you love have high blood pressure? Do you think they’re getting good care? I’m taking patients and we are changing the way healthcare is done in southern Oregon. Call to set up your first appointment

High blood pressure is one of the sneakiest conditions I treat ➡️especially in business owners and high performers who are often pushing through symptoms they think are “just stress,” “just fatigue,” or “just part of the grind.”

But here’s the truth:

Your blood vessels don’t care how busy you are.

And while you’re out here running a business, leading teams, or building your legacy, your vessels might be turning into the biological version of that old garden hose you forgot outside in Oregon weather.

Let’s breakdown the symptoms busy people overlook but definitely matter.

💥 Fatigue and Morning headaches
💥 Brain fog
💥 Breathlessness
💥 Floaters
💥 Cold hands/feet
💥 Ringing ears
💥 Nosebleeds
💥 Anxiety that isn’t “just anxiety”
💥 Night wakings
…aka: symptoms you push through because you’re used to powering through everything.

Here’s your reminder:
You can run your company and still be a high performer.
But your heart is running YOU.

And it needs support just as much as your business or next project does.

If this hit you a little too close to home, you’re not alone. Leaders and business owners consistently show higher rates of hypertension, more stress reactivity, and more masked BP than the general population.

The good news?
You can fix this with the right approach and primary care provider who understands high performance + high stress physiology.

👉 DM me if you’re a business owner who wants your BP checked and a real plan, not a rushed visit.
👉 Follow for more medical education explained in a way that actually makes sense
👉 Share this with the business owner in your life who needs the reminder.

Your business and team deserves a healthy leader.
And your health deserves attention even on the days you’re busy saving everyone else.

Think your blood pressure is “no big deal”?
Let’s break it down in a way you’ll actually remember.
Because once you understand what’s happening inside your blood vessels, you’ll never look at your BP the same way again.

👉 Imagine your arteries as a brand-new, flexible garden hose.
Soft, bendy, and able to handle different pressures with ease.

Now imagine leaving that hose outside…
in the sun, rain, cold, and heat…
for years.

What happens?
It gets stiff.
Less flexible.
More brittle.
It doesn’t expand and contract as easily — and when pressure builds, it strains.

That’s exactly what happens inside your blood vessels with uncontrolled high blood pressure.

Here’s the science made simple:

💥 1. The pressure inside your vessels increases.

Every heartbeat sends blood through your arteries with more force than your vessel walls are designed for.

💥 2. Your vessels respond by thickening and stiffening.

Just like that weathered hose, your arteries lose elasticity.
They can’t expand or relax normally.

💥 3. Your heart has to work harder.

Imagine trying to push water through a rigid tube — it takes more effort.
Your heart feels that strain daily.

💥 4. Micro-damage happens quietly.

You won’t feel pain.
You won’t feel symptoms.
But your brain, heart, kidneys, and eyes experience the fallout over time.

This is why high blood pressure is called the silent killer — not because it sounds dramatic, but because it’s true.

Here’s the good news:
You can bend this curve in the right direction.
Blood vessels can become healthier, more flexible, and less inflamed with the right interventions.

Not extreme diets.
Not fear tactics.
Just a clear understanding of what your body needs.

And that’s exactly what we focus on at my clinic — education + individualized care that actually makes sense.
