A1c tells us your average blood sugar over the last 3 months.

But insulin resistance often starts years before blood sugar becomes abnormal.

Your body simply makes more insulin to keep glucose looking “normal.”

Meanwhile, elevated insulin may contribute to:
• Weight gain (especially belly fat)
• Increased cravings and hunger
• Fatigue after meals
• Difficulty losing weight
• PCOS and hormone imbalance
• Increased inflammation
• Higher cardiovascular risk

That’s why we often look beyond A1c and check fasting insulin to get a more complete picture of metabolic health.

✨ Want to check yours?

For less than $20, we can check:
✔️ Fasting Insulin
✔️ Blood Sugar (Glucose)

No membership required.
No need to be an established patient.

Simply schedule a lab draw with Dan and get a better understanding of what your metabolism is actually doing.

Janae Wilson is out of the office this week exploring the West…Montana, Yellowstone, and Grand Teton National Park… wherever else her road trip takes her with her family & friends!

PLEASE REACH OUT IF YOU NEED ANYTHING.

She is still available via text or message when service allows, but if you need something more immediate, please contact the office at (219) 777-2670. Due to limited cell service, responses may be delayed.

Dan is happy to assist with questions, review labs, and help with your care while Janae is away. If needed, we can also schedule follow-up appointments with Janae upon her return.

Janae is currently accepting new patients, but appointments are booking a few weeks out. If you've been thinking about establishing care, now is a great time to get on the schedule!

Most people think estrogen is only about hot flashes and periods.

But estrogen does a lot more than that.

🧠 It helps support brain health, memory, focus, and mood.

🦴 It also helps protect your bones and plays a major role in preventing osteoporosis as we age.

When estrogen levels start to decline, some women notice brain fog, memory changes, and an increased risk of bone loss.

The good news? Understanding your hormones is the first step toward taking control of your health.

🎥 Check out Dan’s video to learn more, and be sure to read our latest blog post for a deeper dive into how estrogen impacts your brain, bones, and overall wellness.

Questions about hormone testing or optimization? Send us a message—we’re happy to help. PSA We have affordable cash labs for hormones AND lab draws available as soon as next week.

One of the biggest misconceptions in health is that obesity is ONLY caused by hormone imbalance.

The truth?It can also CREATE hormone imbalance.

Fat tissue is not “inactive storage.”It acts like an endocrine organ and directly affects hormones, inflammation, insulin resistance, and metabolism.

More visceral fat often means:• More aromatase activity• More testosterone converting into estrogen• Lower muscle mass• More fatigue• More cravings• More inflammation

And then the cycle repeats itself.

This is why sustainable weight loss is about SO much more than eating less.

At Maple Leaf, we focus on:✔️ Hormones✔️ Nutrition✔️ Muscle mass✔️ Inflammation✔️ Sleep✔️ Lifestyle habits✔️ Long-term maintenance

Because breaking the cycle changes everything. 🌱
