"Normal" said she was fine. We said she could thrive. ๐Ÿ’™

There's a difference between normal and optimal, and your child deserves optimal.

"Your labs look normal."

But normal just means you're within a standard range. It doesn't mean you're energized, focused, or thriving.

At Illuminate, we dig deeper. We're not looking for disease, we're looking for you at your best. This month we're unpacking the difference between normal and optimal, and what it actually takes to get there. Follow along.

We can find your optimal. โ†’ www.illuminatemed.com

FICTION...Listen as Dr Jennifer Franklin, MD teaches us the the real term of intestinal hyperpermeability, and it is well documented in the medical world.

The intestinal wall is lined with tight junctions that act as gatekeepers. When these junctions break down, toxins, pathogens, undigested food particles, and bacteria slip into the bloodstream and can show up as autoimmune conditions, food sensitivities, chronic inflammation, and more.

We see this all the time. And the good news is it is very treatable.
Think this might be part of your story? We would love to help. Schedule an appointment and let's take a closer look.

Fact or Fiction: In-person appointments are always better than telemedicine.

FICTION...and we'll even make the case that telemedicine wins.
Comfortable. Convenient. And just as thorough as sitting across from us in person.

No appointment anxiety. No sitting in a waiting room. No extra time off work or long drives to our office.
You can join from your couch, your car, your office, or even on vacation. Wherever life has you that day, we can meet you there!

And if your child is the patient? They can pop on for a few minutes, answer our questions, then go right back to playing at home instead of sitting bored in an appointment wondering when it will be over.

Comfortable. Convenient. And just as thorough as sitting across from us in person.

Telemedicine is not a compromise. For a lot of our patients it is actually the better choice.

Fact or Fiction: Women just need to eat less and move more to lose weight.

FICTION...and this is a conversation we have every day.

So many of the women we see have tried that approach, done everything right, and still felt stuck. That is not a willpower problem. We want women to fuel their bodies well, not restrict them. To have the energy to show up for every hat they wear.

And GLP-1s? They may have a place in your story. But the right time, the right dose, done the right way starts with a conversation with one of our providers. Come sit with us.

From our Illuminate family to yours, Happy Mother's Day!

FACT: connection is one of the most powerful drivers of your health.

The relationships that love and sustain us matter more than we often give them credit for.

Today we celebrate every kind of mom โ€” the ones who raised us, the ones who chose us, and the ones who show up in ways that matter.

We also hold space for those for whom today is hard. You are seen today too.

In the comments, tell us one word that describes your mom.

Fact or Fiction: GLP-1 is for everyone.

The truth? It's neither and Dr. Keegan Ziemba, MD says it best.

GLP-1s have been game changing for certain patients. Life changing, even. But they aren't a one-size-fits-all solution and at Illuminate, we never treat them that way.

Dr. Ziemba considers them less a weight loss medication and more a metabolic medication. And before we ever go there, we want to understand how someone got there in the first place.

Every conversation is personalized to the patient in front of us. Always.
