There are A LOT of diets, dieting programs and quick solutions in dieting! Would you believe me that dieting is far more complicated and harder than just taking a drug? Yes it can work, but 75% of the people gain the weight right back, and if you go back on the drugs, they are not as effective.

Are you weak and fatigued, overweight and looking for answers? This is the place. I have not mentioned this before now, but I own an IV vitamin therapy business that also prescribes weight loss peptides (semaglutide and tirzepatide). Also, I have worked in primary care and have counseled many people on weight loss, tried many different medication combos to help people lose weight and have seen many diets attempted, some succeeded and some failed. In this discussion group I am going to give tips and tricks to weight loss as well as finding what works for other people.

What is your go to concoction for treating a cold with symptoms of cough, runny nose, congestion, sore throat and body aches?

In this community I am going to share common illnesses that I see in the Urgent Care and some of the discussions that I have had with my patients. I hope that they will resonate with you and you will be able to see how, once you understand your body, most problems can be taken care of at home. Also, and more importantly, when you need to go to the doctor. When you understand what your body is telling you, you understand what to tell the doctor and the guess work drastically decreases and so does your bill as you will be doing far less unnecessary tests trying to find an answer! So Please, introduce yourself, where you are from and wins that you have had with your health!

I want to get a feel for where people feel their health IQ is. I see patients everyday, I talk to friends and family. I have a pretty good idea where most people stand. So, where do you stand? (Legend: Illnesses = coughs, colds, stomach bugs injuries etc. Health = diet, dieting, exercise etc)
