Direct care labs are 90 percent cheaper.

Reminder: insurance often will not cover certain labs...for example vitamin D

The above example was shared with me, and I asked for permission from Atlas to share it here. And the answer is: Hell yes, labs are cheaper at a DPC office. Now, in my office, we used to round up s…

PSA for Medicare "beneficiaries"

Be aware that Medicare supplemental insurance will encourage you to allow a nurse to visit your house for an "exam" that you likely do NOT need, and other providers (particularly audiologists) will call you to schedule a hearing screening & message us for a referral.

We can meet your preventive screening needs here at no extra cost (reasonable labs as well as referrals for additional screening), but we will NOT do a referral prompted by another provider. We will refer you as recommended by our providers only.

Unfortunately, Medicare payments are seen as an "opportunity" for providers and plans to bill for services. These extra exams and screenings are rarely in the patient's best interest.

Many of you have heard us say "we don't care about your cholesterol." That is an exaggeration, but there are much better markers to predict cardiovascular risk, including fasting insulin.

This documentary focuses on the therapeutic value of a ketogenic diet and presents a study of "lean mass hyper-responders," people who present with very high LDL on keto (Dr. Molly Rutherford for example).

If you want more info on cardiovascular risk markers, we can help! Dr. Rutherford has been educating people on keto, low carb diets, and fasting for almost 10 years and has watched several people reduce risk while tapering off medications.

The benefits of keto for mental health are also well documented in the scientific literature.

Parents, please consider a zero tolerance for underage drinking.

There’s a reason the legal drinking age is 21. Early drinking carries risks no matter where it happens. Simply saying no isn’t enough. Talk with your child about why alcohol can be harmful and help them understand the consequences. These conversations give them the confidence to handle peer pressure and make choices that protect their health and future.
