It’s 2026….we need to stop fearing estrogen and start embracing it. 🥰🥰

We are fighting battles beyond a traditional lifespan 150 years ago….osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s, cardiovascular disease etc…. All prefaced by declining estrogen!

There’s a lot of rhetoric about GLP therapy in the social media air. We think this is a great time to make a discussion panel about it. Questions and comments are welcome. Ask away!

It’s NOT
❌for 5-10lbs of weight loss
❌for vanity
❌for those who only want a quick fix

It IS
✅ for those clinically overweight with a BMI >25 and co-morbidities such as hypertension
✅ for those with metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance leading to issues like PCOS and prediabetes
✅ for those with uncontrolled inflammation, cravings or addictions
✅ for those wanting help to change their lifestyle habits

The infographic is powerful. And reminds us that doing nothing has negative outcomes. And adding GLP peptides can be a functional tool for those striving or struggling to lose. It’s not just about being overweight. It’s more than just caloric deficit and working out harder. The world has a metabolic health problem. And losing weight by diet and exercise alone doesn’t always work. Obesity is one of the greatest threats to humanities health.

Always a nerd for New HRT information!

This study is on hip fracture related to those on testosterone therapy for both men and women. It showed a significant reduction by 1.9 times in the aging population of hip fracture for those who are on testosterone.

This is a huge groundbreaking publication. While HRT-literate physicians like our clinic already knew this information, It is always great collaboration to see it studied, researched and show positive benefits!

No one wants to end up in a nursing home with a broken hip! Sarcopenia ( muscle loss wasting) and hip fractures have a mortality rate of 20% in one year and increases up to over 85% in five years!!

When nurses say most don’t survive it fractures it’s because of this particular reason right here. And knowing this information, we can alleviate a large portion in the aging population. Not only reducing the impact to the patient, but also on a heavily affected overloaded healthcare system.

⭐️We’re starting something fresh and positive⭐️

As a Washingtonian and a childhood Unionite, we want to showcase local businesses that we visit and promote their hard work and services. They’re are so many local gems — if we visit it and love it, we’ll share it.

Feel free to comment and give them a shout out. POSITIVE VIBES only though.
There’s enough negativity in this world as it is so let’s share some good.

First Up…

The Competitive Edge - 24/7 Fitness & Training

I am practicing what I preach and what we teach our patients about lifestyle and health improvement! I have been attending personal training sessions at Competitive Edge Gym for the last few months. Walking into the gym with a goal is one thing, but having someone there to guide you, push you, and hold you accountable changes everything. Evan has helped me focus on real strength, better form, and steady progress, reminding me that growth doesn’t happen overnight—it happens through consistency and showing up for yourself day after day. And yes, I could still certainly improve! Some days would be easy to throw in the gym towel. Too busy, too hard, too this, too that….But we can’t. We push through.

The journey has been humbling, motivating, and empowering all at once. If you’re thinking about working on yourself, building strength, and becoming a better version of who you were yesterday, there’s no better place to start than stepping into the Competitve Edge and committing to the process.

I feel compelled to share some spoiler tea about the industry of HRT medicine…

Did you know in today’s world, to open a “health clinic” or “hormone clinic” you need zero training, certification or licensure in medicine. All you need is a business acumen and a checkbook. 
Hire a medical director from afar, stick an RN in an office and throw some generic protocols down and suddenly you have a “clinic”. Scary right?

A polished logo, a leased suite, a virtual medical director who never sees a patient, a nurse with a weekend certification that creates the appearance of expertise and AI generated testimonials circulating on every platform to solidify their brand.

The space can look beautiful.
The branding can feel elevated.
The Instagram can look convincing.

Don’t be fooled.
Hormones are not “esthetic medicine”!!!!
And while we all love a beautiful atmosphere….hormones are powerful and not chosen because the IG picture was performative…
They are not one size fits all. And can be dangerous if not prescribed correctly.

They are powerful physiologic drivers that affect the brain, heart, metabolism, immune system, and longevity. They’re not cute and hip, nor trendy. They are medicinal. And should be treated as such.

Prescribing them without deep endocrine knowledge, lab interpretation skill, and clinical experience isn’t cutting-edge — it’s risky.

True hormone optimization requires understanding pathways, metabolism, feedback loops, inflammatory drivers, and individualized dosing — not cookie-cutter fixes or trendy protocols. Pretty does not equal proficient. Performance does.

In a world where pop-up salons and “health centers” are becoming a trend. They are also becoming massively unregulated and unsafe.

We follow data backed research with IN-HOUSE physicians and nurse practitioners, all of whom have been trained through some subset of didactic and clinical hands on education…including but not limited to A4M, Biote, DUTCH and functional medicine.

We are proudly recognized as a Legacy Partner for Biote, a recognition given to very few clinics and earned by patient satisfaction and success.
We are ranked #5 out of 88 clinics in our Midwest region and will strive daily to be #1 !
When you thrive, we thrive.

You don’t have to come to us, but who you go to is a big decision. Don’t be persuaded by aesthetic allure.

And for obvious reasons, you should NEVER be getting your hormones in the same place where you’re getting health and beauty done as an all-in-one. If there’s ever a question….just ask the clinic if their medical director is in house to see patients. That will tell you all the information you need to know.
