Meet Teal 🩵
After being diagnosed with long COVID, Teal came to Top Deck with several health concerns, including depression, weight management, hypertension, sleep apnea, prediabetes, PCOS, and elevated cholesterol.
Together, we came up with a plan.
✨ PCOS & Metabolic Health
Addressing previously untreated PCOS and metabolic concerns has been an important part of Teal’s care. As her health improved, she was able to discontinue some blood pressure medications under medical supervision.
✨ Weight Management
Her treatment plan has incorporated GLP-1 therapy, metformin, nutrition, exercise, and ongoing lifestyle changes. I mean, look at those muscles! 💪 We didn’t rely on one thing, we focused on creating sustainable habits and addressing the factors influencing her metabolic health.
✨ Mental Health
We incorporated GeneSight pharmacogenomic testing as one tool to help us make medication decisions. Through thoughtful adjustments to her treatment plan, we’ve been able to continue supporting her mental health while considering her overall wellness and weight-management goals.
✨ Improving Health Markers
We’ve seen significant improvements, the biggest including her cholesterol and blood sugar levels. We continue to monitor her progress and adjust her treatment plan as her health evolves.
More importantly, this is what Teal has to say:
“It’s been life changing. It’s not just GLP-1. It’s listening & working together. I’ve been able to cliff jump, ride rides, meet my teenage kids where they are, and move. I feel so solid and so balanced. Nate and I both feel like we’re in a great place.”
Teal’s story is a powerful example of what can happen when we look beyond a single diagnosis or medication and instead focus on the whole person. This is what consistency, trust, and a strong patient-provider partnership can look like. ✨
We’re so proud of you, Teal 🩵
If Teal’s story resonates with you at all, we invite you to our first Healthy Habits Social on August 12th at 6pm at our Butte Clinic.
