✨ IPL Hair Removal: Start Now ✨

IPL hair removal works best as a series of treatments, timed with your hair growth cycle. That’s why starting now matters.

Over time, IPL helps hair grow back slower, finer, and more sparse, with smoother skin and less irritation between visits.

✔ Face
✔ Underarms
✔ Bikini line

Results aren’t overnight—but they are consistent and science-based.
$150 per session for face or bikini area. $175 per session for underarms or $225 per session for Brazilian. Package pricing is available.

Your GLP-1 journey needs a head coach — not autopilot.

Anyone can hand you a medication.
But real results come from having a physician who coaches the whole game.

🏈 Think of your GLP-1 doctor like an NFL head coach:

• They don’t just call one play and walk away
• They watch how your body responds week by week
• They adjust the strategy when something isn’t working
• They manage side effects, plateaus, labs, hormones, and nutrition
• They’re focused on long-term wins — not quick highlights

You wouldn’t want an NFL team run by someone who hands out a playbook and disappears.
Why trust your metabolism to anyone who does the same?

At Vulcan, your GLP-1 is physician-managed, customized, and actively coached — every step of the season.

📅 Book with a doctor who manages the whole team: your body, your results.

🚨 Pausing my usual January weight-loss and nutrition content to talk about the new food guide pyramid released yesterday.

Like most nutrition updates, this one comes with both pros and cons.

The positives:
I’m glad to see healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, and canola oil back on the pyramid. These fats play an important role in hormone health, satiety, and overall nutrition—and they deserve a seat at the table.
I’m also pleased to see added sugars clearly highlighted as something that should be reduced or removed from our diets. This is long overdue and an important step toward improving metabolic health.

The concerns:
I’m disappointed to see saturated fats labeled as “okay” and a very high protein recommendation presented without enough context.

Protein needs are not one-size-fits-all and should not be based solely on total body weight. If someone weighs 300 lbs but has an ideal body weight of 180 lbs, protein intake should be calculated closer to that ideal weight—not to support excess fat mass.

Additionally, recommendations around 1.6 g/kg are excessive for most adults who are fully grown and not training intensely. Older teens and highly active young adults may fall toward the higher end of this range, while sedentary adults in their 30s will be on the lower end. Perimenopausal women typically fall somewhere in the low-to-mid range depending on activity level and whether they are on hormone replacement therapy.

More protein is not always better. Overdoing it doesn’t equal better health or better weight loss—it can mean unnecessary strain on the kidneys, higher grocery bills, and a larger environmental impact.

Nutrition guidance should be personalized, practical, and grounded in physiology—not trends.

More to come—but this needed to be addressed first.
