Don’t be an a***e to your patients.** 🤷🏼‍♀️
You can be honest with someone about their health without making them feel like crap.
Instead of: “You need to lose weight. Your numbers are getting worse. You need to exercise more.”
Try:
“How many days this week do you feel like you made healthy choices? Okay—what if we added just THREE more healthy choices next week?”
“Did you prioritize your sleep?”
“Were you consistent with the things we talked about?”
“Give me 90 days of really good effort. Not perfection—EFFORT. Let’s see what happens to these numbers.”
Because constructive feedback doesn't have to feel like criticism.
Every person sitting across from me is a human being doing the best they can with whatever life is handing them right now.
Maybe they're going through a breakup.
Maybe they lost their job.
Maybe their back hurts every single day.
Maybe they're taking care of everyone except themselves.
Maybe they just lost someone they love.
Maybe they're simply exhausted.
People often come to healthcare providers when they already feel frustrated, scared, embarrassed, or desperate for help.
Why would I meet them there with judgment?
My job isn't to shame someone into being healthier. It's to figure out where they are, meet them there, and help them make realistic changes that move them forward.
You can hold people accountable and be kind.
You can give constructive feedback and maintain a healthy, trusting relationship.
You can tell someone they need to make changes without making them feel like they've failed.
Sometimes people don't need another lecture.
They need someone in their corner saying:
“Okay. This is where we are. Now let's figure out what we can do next.” 🤍
That’s the kind of healthcare relationship I want with my patients.

Have you ever left a healthcare appointment feeling like you weren’t really heard?

At Lerdal Health & Wellness, we believe women’s stories matter. Your symptoms matter. Your concerns matter. And you deserve a provider who takes the time to actually listen.

We’re a women-led practice, backed by a team of women who understand how frustrating it can be to navigate a healthcare system that hasn’t always been designed with women’s experiences in mind.

No dismissing. No rushing. No “it’s probably nothing.”

Just thoughtful, personalized care that starts with listening. 🤍

🚨 Don’t get mad at the ER for the bill—know when you actually need the ER.

Emergency rooms are there for emergencies. But when something feels off and you’re not sure what’s going on, your primary care provider can often be the best place to start.

At Lerdal Health & Wellness, we take the time to listen, evaluate your symptoms, and order the appropriate labs, imaging, or testing to get to the root of what’s going on—without automatically taking on the added cost of an ER visit.

Your primary care provider isn’t just there for annual checkups. We’re here to help you get the right workup, at the right place, at the right time. 🩺

Of course, true emergencies should always be evaluated in the ER.

Start with primary care when you can. Your health—and your wallet—may thank you.

I don’t just want to live longer—I want to AGE WELL.
As a Nurse Practitioner, a mom, and a woman approaching 40, my expectations for myself are pretty high. I want to feel good. I want to look good. I want energy. I want to think clearly, stay active, perform at a high level, and still be doing all of those things decades from now.
I want to be the thriving 70-year-old who is traveling, exercising, keeping up with family, and living independently. And I think most of us want that.
That’s one reason I find the evolving science surrounding peptides and regenerative medicine so interesting.
You may have heard about peptides such as BPC-157 being studied for areas ranging from gastrointestinal health to muscle, tendon, and tissue repair. Other peptide therapies are being investigated for metabolic health, inflammation, body composition, recovery, and healthy aging.
For me, the bigger picture is healthspan—not just lifespan.
Maintaining a healthy weight, staying physically active, protecting muscle, improving metabolic health, and addressing chronic inflammation can all play a role in reducing our long-term risk factors for cardiovascular disease, joint and back problems, metabolic disease, and loss of mobility as we age.
But "new" doesn't automatically mean "safe," and "natural" doesn't automatically mean harmless. That applies to supplements, hormones, peptides, and medications alike.
That's why I believe these conversations belong in a medical setting—where we can talk about what has good evidence, what's still experimental, what is FDA-approved versus unapproved, what the potential risks are, and whether something actually makes sense for you.
At Lerdal Health & Wellness, we're excited about advances in longevity and regenerative medicine, but we're equally committed to thoughtful, individualized care.
If aging well, improving your healthspan, or learning more about peptide therapy has been on your mind, come talk with us.
You don't have to try everything that's new.
But you should be able to ask about it, understand the science, and make an informed decision about your health.

✨ The Future of Wellness is Here ✨

At Lerdal Health & Wellness, we’re excited to offer cutting-edge peptide therapies designed to support your body’s natural healing, recovery, and overall wellness.

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules in the body, helping regulate a variety of biological processes. Depending on the specific peptide and your individual health goals, peptide therapy may support:

🌙 Healthy sleep and circadian rhythm
❤️ Sexual wellness and libido
⚡ Energy levels and metabolic health
💪 Recovery from injuries and exercise
🧬 Healthy aging and cellular wellness

Treatment plans are personalized after a comprehensive medical evaluation to determine what’s appropriate for your unique needs. Most therapies are administered as small injections throughout the week and can be easily incorporated into your wellness routine.

We currently offer consultations for therapies including:
✔️ Circadian rhythm and sleep support peptides
✔️ Epitalon (Epithalon) wellness protocols*
✔️ MOTS-c metabolic support*
✔️ BPC-157 recovery protocols*

Our goal isn’t simply to address symptoms—it’s to help optimize your health, improve quality of life, and support long-term wellness.

If you’d like to learn more about peptide therapy and the science behind it, there’s a fantastic YouTube episode that provides an in-depth overview of what peptides are, how they work, and the areas they’re being studied for.

And if you’re in the Phoenix, Arizona area, I’d love to help guide you through your options and determine whether peptide therapy is an appropriate part of your wellness journey.

Have you ever heard the phrase, “Trust your gut?”

I don’t think it’s just a saying.

As a Nurse Practitioner, I’ve found that many women are incredibly in tune with their bodies. They notice when something feels “off”—even before they can explain exactly what it is. That instinct is often what prompts them to finally schedule an appointment, and more often than not, there’s a reason they listened.

Women also carry a unique mental and physical load. Many are managing careers, raising children, caring for aging parents, running households, and somehow trying to take care of themselves in between. When you’re the heartbeat of your family, feeling “just okay” isn’t enough. You deserve to feel your best.

That doesn’t mean men don’t need healthcare less. In fact, men often delay care, ignore warning signs, or skip routine checkups altogether. Different doesn’t mean less important—it simply highlights that each person’s healthcare journey is unique.

Women’s health can be more complex because of hormonal changes, pregnancy, menopause, routine screenings, and conditions that are unique to women. Men’s health comes with its own challenges too. The goal isn’t to compare—it’s to recognize that everyone deserves preventive care and a provider who listens.

At Lerdal Health & Wellness, we welcome women, men, and transgender individuals who are looking for a long-term primary care provider. Whether you’re dealing with a new symptom, managing a chronic condition, or simply want to stay healthy, we’re here to partner with you throughout your health journey.

✨ Listen to your body.
✨ Don’t ignore the subtle changes.
✨ Trust yourself enough to ask questions.

Sometimes your body whispers before it has to scream.

Packing my supplements for the week and it always makes me think...
People always ask me, "Do you really take all of those?" The answer is yes. Every single day.
As a nurse practitioner, I spend a lot of time talking about prevention, and I try to practice what I preach. Consistency matters. Not because I think supplements are magic, but because I know supporting my body today gives me the best chance of feeling good tomorrow.
I'm 39, and honestly...there are days I already feel older than I'd like. 😂 Would I probably feel even worse if I wasn't supporting my hormones, keeping inflammation in check, supporting my liver, prioritizing heart health, collagen production, and filling in nutritional gaps? I think so.
Will I take these forever? Probably.
Because I'm not getting any younger, and my goal isn't just to live a long life—it's to age well. I want to hike, travel, lift weights, play with future grandkids, and hopefully avoid unnecessary aches and limitations for as long as possible.
Your health isn't something you suddenly start caring about in your 50s or 60s. The choices you make in your 20s, 30s, and 40s are what help shape how you'll feel decades from now.
Consistency beats perfection. Every. Single. Time. 💛
What are you doing today that your 70-year-old self will thank you for?

As a nurse practitioner, I spend my days reminding my patients to prioritize their health and well-being. The truth is...sometimes I need the same reminder. 💛

Self-care isn't selfish, and it isn't always about bubble baths. Sometimes it's carving out a little time to get your hair done, refresh your skin, or simply do something that makes you feel confident. When you feel your best, you show up as your best—for yourself, your family, and your patients.

Taking care of everyone else starts with taking care of yourself, too. ✨

Poor posture might seem like a small daily habit, but over time it can have a big impact on your spine.

Those little “zingers.” Tingling in your shoulders or fingers. Pain between your shoulder blades. Tension headaches. Upper trap muscles that feel like hard knots after a long day at your desk.

While everyone’s symptoms can look a little different, the root cause is often the same.

Hours of poor posture and less-than-ideal desk ergonomics can lead to tight muscles in the front of the neck and chest, weakness through the shoulder blades and back of the neck, and changes in your spinal alignment over time—including cervical spine reversal, increased kyphosis (“hunchback”), and other postural imbalances.

Your spine is what supports you through every stage of life. The health of your spine can play a major role in maintaining your mobility, independence, and quality of life as you age.

Don’t ignore the warning signs. Your body is trying to tell you something. The earlier you address the problem, the easier it is to prevent it from becoming a chronic one.

Nothing means more than knowing our patients feel heard, cared for, and supported. 💙 Thank you to everyone who has taken...
