At Elite Integrative MediSun, we believe your healthcare provider should never stop learning.

For Leslie Stock, CRNP, continuing education isn’t just about earning another certification—it’s about providing the highest level of care possible for every patient who walks through our doors.

Already certified in multiple areas of functional medicine, hormone optimization, and advanced patient care, Leslie continues to invest in her education because healthcare is always evolving. She recently successfully completed a 95-hour course that includes pediatrics—adding yet another level of expertise to better serve her patients.

This advanced training focuses on:

✔️ Root-cause analysis instead of simply treating symptoms
✔️ Comprehensive lab interpretation
✔️ Gut health and the microbiome
✔️ Hormone optimization
✔️ Metabolic dysfunction
✔️ Chronic disease management
✔️ Advanced diagnostic testing

Leslie believes education is one of the most powerful tools for improving health—not only for providers, but for patients as well.

She practices many of these principles in her own life because she believes the best healthcare begins with understanding your body, making informed decisions, and building sustainable habits that support long-term wellness.

Our goal isn’t simply to help you feel better today. It’s to help you understand *why* your body is responding the way it is so you can take an active role in your health for years to come.

Because your health journey deserves a provider who is just as committed to learning as she is to caring.

To learn more about Leslie’s services, visit www.elite-medisun.com. You can also schedule a personalized consultation by booking online, sending us a direct message, or calling/texting 724-422-4810. We look forward to partnering with you on your wellness journey.

Not all hormone replacement therapy is delivered the same way—and the delivery method matters.

Many people are surprised to learn that bioidentical hormones can be prescribed in several different forms, each with its own advantages and considerations.

✔️ Transdermal (patches or gels)
• Easy to adjust as your needs change
• Consistent hormone delivery
• Strong safety data for many women in menopause

✔️ Oral medications
• Convenient and familiar
• May be appropriate for some patients depending on their health history

✔️ Injections
• Reliable absorption
• Doses can be adjusted over time based on symptoms and lab work

✔️ Hormone pellets
• Convenient—typically last 3–6 months
• Provide continuous hormone release without daily dosing
• However, once inserted, the dose cannot be easily adjusted. If hormone levels are too high or side effects develop, treatment cannot simply be stopped until the pellet naturally wears off.

At Elite Integrative MediSun, we believe hormone therapy should be personalized—not one-size-fits-all. We carefully consider your symptoms, lab results, medical history, lifestyle, and treatment goals to determine which option is most appropriate for you.

The "best" hormone therapy isn't about choosing the newest or most convenient option—it's about choosing the one that allows us to safely optimize your health while making adjustments as your body changes.

🥗 12-WEEK PLASTIC DETOX SERIES — WEEK 8: REDUCE PROCESSED FOOD PACKAGING

If you're working to reduce your toxic burden, one of the easiest places to start is by looking at how your food is packaged.

Many packaged and highly processed foods spend months in contact with plastics, wrappers, coatings, and can liners before they ever reach your plate. While convenience has its place, reducing reliance on heavily packaged foods can help lower everyday exposure to unwanted chemicals.

This week's focus:
Choosing more fresh, minimally processed foods and reducing exposure to food-packaging materials. 🌿

🚫 THIS WEEK, TRY TO REDUCE:
• Fast food packaging
• Canned foods with liners
• Individually wrapped snacks
• Heavily processed foods

✔ CHOOSE MORE OF:
• Fresh fruits and vegetables
• Farmer's market produce
• Whole-food ingredients
• Bulk foods stored in glass when possible
• Home-prepared meals and snacks

💡 WHY THIS MATTERS:
Food packaging can be a source of:
• Microplastics
• BPA/BPS and similar compounds
• PFAS ("forever chemicals")
• Other food-contact chemicals

By choosing fresher, less processed options, you may also support:
• Gut health
• Hormone balance
• Metabolic health
• Reduced inflammatory burden

✨ SIMPLE SWAPS TO START:
• Shop the perimeter of the grocery store more often
• Choose fresh produce over prepackaged alternatives
• Bring reusable bags and containers when possible
• Store foods in glass containers at home
• Read ingredient labels and choose foods with fewer ingredients

Remember:
Detoxification isn't about a cleanse or quick fix. It's about creating a healthier environment for your body through small, sustainable choices made consistently over time.

Every swap matters. Every step counts. 🧬

Sometimes Less is MORE: What Is Microdosing?

You may have heard about traditional weight wellness protocols — but a different, more individualized approach is gaining attention: microdosing.

Rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol, microdosing uses smaller, carefully calibrated doses tailored to each patient's response, goals, and tolerance. The idea isn't to do "less" — it's to do what's right for your body.

At Elite Integrative MediSun, we follow the science as it evolves and believe in giving our patients an honest, current picture of what's known (and what's still being studied).

Curious whether a personalized microdosing approach could support your health goals? Read the full breakdown on our blog (link in bio), and book your consultation to start the conversation. 🔗

☀️ Introducing Rise & Stride: The Elite Community Wellness Challenge ☀️

At Elite Integrative MediSun, we believe better health doesn't happen overnight—it starts with the small choices we make every day.

That's why we're excited to launch Rise & Stride, a community challenge designed to help you build one simple, healthy habit: move a little more every day.

This July, we're challenging our community to walk 5,000 steps each day. Whether you're just beginning your wellness journey or already living an active lifestyle, this challenge is for everyone.

As part of the challenge, you'll receive a Rise & Stride silicone wristband when you register at either Elite Integrative MediSun location.

It isn't just a wristband—it's your daily reminder.

Every time you notice it on your wrist…
🚶 Take a short walk.
🚶 Park a little farther away.
🚶 Choose the stairs.
🚶 Walk during your lunch break.
🚶 Keep moving.

Small, consistent choices become lasting healthy habits.

We're also proud to dedicate this year's challenge to supporting Leslie Stock as she prepares to compete in the USA Triathlon National Championships in Milwaukee this August. While Leslie trains for an Olympic-distance triathlon, our goal is much simpler: inspire our community to take one step toward better health each day.

How to Participate:
✅ Register at either Elite Integrative MediSun location.
✅ Pick up your FREE Rise & Stride wristband.
✅ Walk at least 5,000 steps each day in July.
✅ Submit your weekly step totals by texting a screenshot to Lisa at 724-422-4810.

At the end of July, everyone who successfully completes the challenge will be entered into a drawing for one of two YETI® tumblers. (In the event of a tie, winners will be selected by random drawing.)

This isn't about being the fastest.
It isn't about perfection.
It's about creating momentum—one step, one day, and one healthy habit at a time.

🌅 Rise & Stride begins July 1. Are you in?

🥬 12-WEEK PLASTIC DETOX SERIES — WEEK 7: NUTRITION FOR DETOX SUPPORT

Detox isn’t just about removing exposures — it’s also about supporting the body’s built-in systems that process and eliminate toxins every single day.

Your liver, gut, kidneys, and lymphatic system already do this work constantly.

This week’s focus:
Nourishing those pathways so they can function at their best. 🧬

🍽️ THIS WEEK, INCREASE:
• Cruciferous vegetables
• Fiber-rich foods
• Hydration
• High-quality protein
• Mineral-rich foods
• Antioxidant-rich foods

🥗 HELPFUL FOODS TO ADD:
• Broccoli sprouts
• Garlic
• Cilantro
• Lemon
• Beets
• Berries
• Green tea

💡 WHY THIS MATTERS:
These nutrients help support:
• Liver detoxification pathways
• Bowel elimination and regularity
• Antioxidant defenses
• Cellular repair processes
• Overall metabolic balance

✨ SIMPLE DAILY SUPPORT STRATEGIES:
• Add greens or cruciferous veggies to at least one meal daily
• Start the day with lemon water
• Include a protein source with each meal
• Focus on colorful, whole foods throughout the day
• Stay consistent with hydration to support elimination pathways

When the body is well-nourished, it is better equipped to handle everyday environmental exposures.

The goal isn’t perfection — it’s steady support over time.

Small daily choices can meaningfully support hormone balance, energy, digestion, and long-term wellness. 🌿

Did you know inflammation and metabolic health may be more connected than once thought? ☀️

For years, GLP-1 medications were known mainly for blood sugar control and weight management.
