Letter from Tyler Poe:

To My Patients,
After much reflection, I have made the difficult decision to leave Taylorville Family Medicine. My last day with the practice will be August 5, 2026. Writing this letter is one of the hardest things I have had to do. While I am excited for the opportunities that lie ahead, leaving the privilege of caring for each of you is incredibly
difficult. When I accepted my first position as a Nurse Practitioner, I hoped I would be able to make a difference in the lives of my patients. What I never expected was just how much
my patients would change my life.

Thank you for trusting me with your care. Thank you for allowing me to celebrate your victories, support you through difficult diagnoses, listen to your concerns, laugh with you,
and sometimes simply sit with you during life's hardest moments. Being invited into those moments is a privilege I have never taken for granted. Many of you came to know me as a brand-new Nurse Practitioner. You extended me grace, patience, and trust while I grew into this profession. Together we celebrated healthier blood pressures, improved A1Cs, recovered illnesses, new babies, graduations, retirements, and countless other moments that made each day meaningful.

We also faced heartbreak, uncertainty, and loss together. Through every visit, you reminded me why I chose healthcare. You have taught me lessons that no classroom ever could. You taught me resilience in the face of illness, courage during uncertainty, humor when life felt overwhelming, and the importance of treating every person with dignity and compassion. I hope that in some
small way I was able to give back a fraction of what each of you gave to me.

As your provider, I always tried to remember that I wasn't simply treating numbers on a chart... I was caring for mothers and fathers, grandparents, children, spouses, friends, veterans, teachers, laborers, and neighbors. Every person who walked through the door brought a story, and it has been one of the greatest honors of my life to be entrusted with a small part of those stories.
Although I will no longer be practicing at Taylorville Family Medicine, I have every confidence that the team will continue to provide you with compassionate, high-quality care. I encourage you to continue prioritizing your health, keeping your appointments,
asking questions, and advocating for yourself. Your health matters, and you deserve providers who will listen and partner with you in your care.

As I begin this next chapter, I will carry the memories of our time together with me. I will remember your smiles, your determination, your stories, and the trust you placed in me. Those memories will continue to remind me why I chose this profession and will inspire
the kind of provider I strive to be every day.

Thank you for allowing me the extraordinary privilege of being your Nurse Practitioner. Caring for you has been far more than my job, it has been one of the greatest honors of my life.
I wish you and your families continued health, peace, and happiness in the years ahead.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Tyler Poe, MSN, CRNP, FNP-BC

💙 A Little Update from Taylorville Family Medicine

We are happy to share an update with our patients and our community!

For the time being, Taylorville Family Medicine and Bear Creek Weight Loss will both be located at Taylorville Family Medicine while Bear Creek Wellness prepares for its move to its permanent home.

We know that changes like this can bring questions, so we want you to know one important thing:

Your care continues.❤️

Our team will continue to be here for you, and Bear Creek Weight Loss will continue serving our patients from our TFM location during this transition!

As Bear Creek Weight Loss gets closer to moving into their permanent location, we’ll keep you informed every step of the way.

Thank you for trusting us with your care and for being such an important part of the Taylorville Family Medicine family. We truly appreciate you!

Here’s to new beginnings, continued care, and a strong future for our community!

There have been some rumors circulating, and we want to clear them up.

Taylorville Family Medicine is NOT closing.

While we are saddened that Dr. Burdette has decided to leave our practice, we wish her nothing but the very best in her future endeavors. As we get closer to the transition, we will introduce the physician(s) who will be joining our team.

We are also excited to welcome several outstanding new nurse practitioners to our practice. And for those who have asked—Brandi is not leaving us.

As Walt Disney once said:

"Times and conditions change so rapidly that we must keep our aim constantly focused on the future."

That is exactly what we are doing.

In the coming months, Taylorville Family Medicine will be expanding our services, adding new providers, and growing our laboratory with licensed medical laboratory scientists to better serve our patients. Bear Creek Weight Loss will be giving weight loss injections staffed by a different group of providers. These providers will extend the same care and compassion as our tfm providers have done for many years. We hope to be able to announce new services to Bear Creek Weight Loss in the next couple of months.

We are excited about these changes and remain committed to providing exceptional care. Thank you for trusting us with your healthcare. We look forward to serving the Tuscaloosa community for many more years—continuing the tradition we've proudly upheld for the past 26 years.

Eating disorders aren’t just about food—they’re often rooted in deeper pain, perfectionism, or a need for control. Whether it looks like restriction, binging, over-exercising, or constant body shame, you deserve support that sees beyond the symptoms.

Healing is possible. And you don’t have to do it alone. Therapy can help you rebuild your relationship with food, your body, and yourself.

Healthy habits don’t always come from willpower—they come from strategy. “Temptation bundling” is a proven way to pair something you want with something you need, making behavior change feel more enjoyable and sustainable.
Whether it’s walking while listening to your favorite podcast or prepping meals with a friend, small changes make a big impact.
At Bear Creek, we combine these behavior strategies with a medically guided GLP-1 approach to help you stay on track—without burnout.

🥗 Weight loss isn’t just about willpower—it’s also about chemistry.
When hormones, appetite signals, or metabolism are off, it can feel impossible to make progress. That’s why we offer GLP-1 medications designed to help you feel full longer, reduce cravings, and rebalance your biology.

Starting at $25 and $40 per injection, these treatments are helping real people make real progress. We even offer a pill option for those who prefer it.

You’re eating healthy. You’re trying to stay active. But the scale won’t budge—and you’re more tired than ever. Sound familiar? You could be dealing with elevated cortisol, the “stress hormone” that makes weight loss significantly harder.

What Cortisol Does to Your Body:
- Increases belly fat storage
- Makes you crave sugar and salt
- Slows metabolism
- Disrupts sleep, which makes cravings worse

Here’s How to Lower Cortisol Naturally:
🧘‍♀️ Breathwork & Mindfulness: Just 5 minutes a day can help
😴 Sleep Hygiene: Go to bed and wake up at consistent times
🥗 Stable Blood Sugar: Avoid skipping meals and eat enough protein
🏃‍♀️ Movement, Not Exhaustion: Gentle exercise (like walking or yoga) lowers cortisol better than high-intensity workouts if you’re already stressed

At Bear Creek, we see the whole picture. Weight gain isn’t just about calories—it’s about your lifestyle, stress levels, and recovery. Let’s build a plan, including GLP-1 support that works for every part of you.
