Greetings from GetRight Healthcare,

We’re excited to announce that we are now accepting insurance with our family nurse practitioner. Currently, we accept BCBS, AETNA, CIGNA, and Arizona Medicaid.

You should reach out to your insurance carrier to see if they cover GLP medications. Not all insurance companies will cover GLP medications.

Please let us know how we can best meet your healthcare needs.

Hello everyone, hope you’re all doing well!

I wanted to share a quick update for those of you taking GLP-1 medications. It’s important not only to stay focused on the lifestyle changes we discussed during your initial consult but also to prioritize preserving muscle mass while using these medications.

We are not affiliated with any pharmacy and don't sell medications. We only prescribe. That being said, we wanted to let you know that the compounding pharmacy now offers tirzepatide tablets. Additionally, for those on Medicare, GLP-1 medications may be covered if you have Medicare Part D and meet certain BMI requirements or have specific comorbidity risk factors.

There was some confusion about an email sent out a week or two ago regarding labs for those on these meds. It’s crucial to keep everything monitored to ensure your body is responding well. Labs from your P*P are perfectly fine; we just need to make sure they’re done every six to twelve months.

Many people get excited about rapid weight loss, which is great, but it’s easy to overlook that you might be losing muscle mass along with fat. GLP-1 medications may not always send the right signals to your brain, leading to loss of both fat and muscle.

Here are some key points to help preserve your muscle mass while on GLP-1 medications:

- Protein intake: As we discussed during your consultation, getting enough protein is essential. Aim for about 0.5 to 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight per day. Women generally benefit from the lower end of that range, men from the higher. Protein provides amino acids—the building blocks your body needs to maintain and build muscle—and supports brain health.

- Strength training: You don’t need to be a bodybuilder, but your muscles need regular challenge. Whether it’s weight machines, free weights, resistance bands, lunges, squats, or leg presses, resistance training signals your brain and body to preserve muscle tissue. Aim for 30 to 45 minutes of strength training two to three times per week.

- Hormone balance: For those on testosterone or hormone replacement therapy, hormones play a major role in maintaining and growing muscle. Proper hormone balance helps your body send the right signals to keep lean muscle mass. Building muscle can be a bit more challenging while on GLP-1 meds, so having optimized hormone levels can really help. Testosterone and other hormones are important for body composition in both men and women.

We will share more soon, but these are the key things to focus on right now. Keep up the great work, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you have questions!

Take care, and have a safe and happy 4th of July.

Greetings,

We hope you are doing well.

This is a mass email going out to everyone. We had planned to launch some educational videos about GLP medications and peptides, but unfortunately, social media platforms flagged our content for violating community standards and placed our account under restricted status. So, we’ll be moving forward with YouTube videos instead.

Here are answers to some frequently asked questions:

First, we are able to prescribe controlled substances only within Arizona, in compliance with DEA regulations. There’s no way around this.

Second, we primarily prescribe Wegovy (semaglutide) and Zepbound (tirzepatide). Our compounding pharmacy carries sublingual drops of semaglutide and tirzepatide, while commercial pharmacies carry the pill forms.

Retatrutide is still in clinical trials and has NOT been approved by the FDA. People obtaining this medication are receiving research-grade products, which we do NOT recommend.

For those who have been seeing us for more than a year, it’s time to update your labs. These can be labs obtained through your primary care provider—we just need to update our records. If you have recent labs, please email them to [email protected].

Please let us know if there’s anything else we can do to help. We’re happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have.

Thank you,
The GetRight Healthcare Team

Greetings from GetRight Healthcare,

We want to inform you that, effective immediately, our Family Nurse Practitioner, Jeffrey, will be taking a medical leave to focus on some health issues.

If you currently have orders pending, please rest assured they will be fulfilled. This primarily affects the weight-loss side of our practice, and we do not anticipate this being a permanent situation.

We will also honor any refunds pending, as well as those affected by delays related to our previous billing issues, and fulfill orders as discussed. For patients currently taking medication for ongoing health concerns, we will continue to fill those prescriptions during this time.

Please note that we will not be accepting any new patients, except those who are already scheduled.

We appreciate your understanding as Jeffrey takes the time needed to focus on his health. Should you have any questions regarding your care, we are happy to assist you.

Thank you for your continued support. This does not affect our Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner client care at all. We will let you all know of a time frame for his return once a few things are sorted out. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Sincerely,

GetRight Healthcare Team

Today, we will discuss the peptide known as BPC – 157. The information contained this video is purely informational, and it is not intended replace or change your current regimen, set forth by you and your healthcare practitioner. As always, you should consult your healthcare practitioner prior to starting any supplementation. As I mentioned the video, this has shown promising studies in animal trials, however, human studies are still very limited. This makes the topics somewhat controversial, but due to the high demand of request for information regarding peptides, we went ahead and released this video. Let us know what you think. Give us a like and follow. You can follow us on YouTube .

When Rekha Desai had a stroke, her son, Dr. Dhaval Desai, reacted in doctor mode and got her quick care. But throughout her recovery he was in son mode, which proved to be eye-opening.

After her stroke, Rekha had trouble with her peripheral vision and was unstable walking. After five days, Rekha was strong enough to go home from the hospital. She needed help bathing and dressing. Thanks to therapy, she’s fully recovered.

“It was frightening and stressful being on ‘the other side,” Dhaval said.

During her recovery, Rekha had another devoted family caregiver, her 6-year-old granddaughter, Kaiya. “She was always there,” Rekha said. “She wanted to make sure I was safe.”

I’m not too little to help,” Kaiya said more than once. She bought a word search book to help Rekha, her dida, with her letters.

Kaiya wrote a book about her grandmother’s stroke that she shared with her classmates. “I want people to see how I solved my problems. Maybe this can help them or give them ideas on how to solve their own problem.” Caregivers hold it all together, but they also need support.

Good evening from GetRight Healthcare!

We wanted to take a moment to answer a few common questions we’ve received lately regarding GLP-1 medications.

Nutrition and Exercise:
We recommend that you aim for at least 1,000 to 1,250 calories per day and incorporate some resistance training into your weekly routine. While GLP-1 medications are effective for weight loss, it’s important to maintain adequate nutrition to prevent muscle loss. Using resistance bands or weights can help preserve muscle mass during your weight loss journey.

Dosing Guidelines:
We do our best to keep you at the lowest effective dose as long as you’re seeing results. If you hit a plateau, we may recommend increasing your dose. For those on Ozempic/Wegovy (semaglutide), the maximum recommended dose is 50 units per week (2.4 mg). For Mounjaro/Zepbound (tirzepatide), the highest dose is 140 units (14.0 mg) per week.

If you have missed your medication for any period of time, we recommend restarting at a lower dose and gradually titrating up to help reduce side effects such as nausea, vomiting, or constipation.

Follow-Up and Labs:
If it’s been some time since your last check-in, we recommend scheduling a follow-up and repeating labs to ensure your safety. Our provider will be reaching out for these appointments.

Payment Policy:
We know we repeat this often, but payment is due at the time of service unless other arrangements have been made. If you need to delay your payment, please let us know. We understand that things happen. However, if invoices are ignored after repeated requests, this will result in delays with your prescriptions or possible dismissal from our practice.

We appreciate your cooperation and understanding. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to us at 623-755-5123.

Thank you,
Your GetRight Healthcare Team

We are very saddened to hear the news for the firefighters who lost their lives in the Timber Mesa Fire Medical. Another person also lost their life in the other vehicle. Our thoughts are with the victims families and their fire department family.
