Peptide Facts......

Have you been following the 2 recent reported deaths with Retatrutide? One death was a patient that was given or persuaded to take the drug by a "nurse" and told it was safe.

We get multiple messages and calls asking us if we prescribe this, and the answer is no, but I know plenty of people that are illegally handing out this medication without a license, nurses included, because I hear it from my patients every day when I ask them where they are getting it. I also get asked to prescribe bac water for patients that are getting peptides from "nurses" that are ordering them peptides online and distributing them to patients but not providing the bac water to mix the peptides with. I will not do this either because I will not be responsible for what you are administering off the black market.

I know everyone does this, I see it, and hear about it daily, but I always caution against it.

Anything that comes from my office is compounded and made by one of my legitimate compounding pharmacies, and I know they are all good, safe compounds.

I have personally seen patients in my office with "cardiac" complaints related to injecting black market peptides, or they will come in sick as a result of improperly injecting due to being misinformed by a "nurse" on a wrong dosage.

The problem is, what was in it? Where did it come from? And the answer is who knows.....

Medically supervised weight loss and peptide administration is always the best option, just because someone has a "nurses" license, doesn't mean they know how to prescribe, or should prescribe medicine. Most nurses have a two year associates degree, if they are an RN, and a nurse practitioner, PA, or physician has far more than that. These are the only people that have prescriptive authority.

I read these words today posted by physician, and I could not agree more when it comes to our health and practicing wellness medicine. Addiction is something that hits very close to home for me.

Advice I would give if I would not hurt your feelings

1. These is no safe amount of alcohol, it is the only drug we make socially acceptable and cheer other people on for using, until it destroys their lives and their family.

2. Addiction does not care who you are, it only cares that you keep coming back.

3. Kids don't learn healthy habits from lectures, they learn it from watching you.

Thoughts from today's sermon....

Today's sermon was so fitting, it is always funny how God puts exactly what you need in front of you at the very moment you need it.

Continuing in the Book of Acts.......

When Peter stood before the Jewish council (Sanhedrin) in Jerusalem after healing a man who had been lame, the same men that called for Jesus to be crucified. He spoke these words.

Acts 4:10-14
Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.

This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.

And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.

This message tells us that as Christians we are to stand and speak the truth in love, even when others find it offensive, we have a call to be bold and brave, this is not a time to stand in sinful silence.

Stand in the face of sin and boldly declare your faith, your moral clarity, and your Biblical convictions.

It may cost you to follow Jesus, he tells us, "pick up your cross and follow me."

It may cost you your job, your approval, your friends, your position, your power........

When you stand for Jesus they will mock you, shame you, and try to silence you.

Always remember, you will never be successful in life until you get over living for the approval of other men, Jesus Christ is the only approval anyone needs. ✝

Be a Peter !!!!!!

"Im just a nobody trying to tell anybody about a somebody who will save anybody" and his name is Jesus ❤️

Best Primary Care Provider
In 2025, we were runner up, and this year we were voted #1

Wellness medicine focuses on improving overall functioning, quality of life, and disease prevention rather than just treating acute symptoms. It's not that wellness medicine is "better" than traditional medicine, the two models serve very different purposes and work best when combined and practiced together.

Yes, we provide primary care medicine, but we also........

Specialize and are certified in hormone replacement, we are the top Evexipel provider serving East Texas. We consistently do over 100 pellet procedures every month.

How do we do that?
Our patients get the results they have been looking for !

We strive to provide excellent healthcare here in our community, and beyond. If you are looking for a provider that cares about your health, and wants to take a proactive approach, rather than just a reactive approach, give our office a call today.

"The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the prevention of disease." Thomas Edison

Thought for the week........

Sometimes I struggle with this, I think we all do at times.

Stop defending yourself to people who were never interested in hearing the truth. God already knows the whole story, he knows our heart ❤️

You may want to explain yourself, expose what happened, and make everyone understand your side. But you don’t have to spend your life correcting every false story told about you.

God knows what people don’t know. He saw what happened when nobody else was watching.

Stay honest. Stay kind. Keep your heart clean. Don’t let someone else’s behavior turn you into someone you’re not.

Let God handle the vindication. Let Him bring truth to light in His time. Your responsibility is not to control what everyone thinks about you—it’s to remain faithful to who God has called you to be.

You don’t need to be loud to be heard by God. He already knows the full story.

“The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.” — Exodus 14:14 🙏🏻 ✝️

It's that time of year ladies !!!!!

Did you know that 1 in 8 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime? In 2026, an estimated 321,910 women and 2,670 men will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer, and an additional 59,080 new cases of non-invasive (in situ) breast cancer will be diagnosed. Chances are, you know at least one person who has been personally affected by breast cancer.

When caught in its earliest, localized stages, the 5-year relative survival rate is 99%. Advances in early detection and treatment methods have significantly increased breast cancer survival rates in recent years, and there are currently over 4 million breast cancer survivors in the United States.

Statistics by age

The average age of U.S. women diagnosed with breast cancer is 62 years old.

Half of U.S. women who develop breast cancer are 62 years of age or younger when they are diagnosed.

About 9% of all new breast cancer cases in the U.S. are diagnosed in women younger than 45 years old.

Younger people, particularly those under age 35 at the time of their original breast cancer diagnosis, face a higher risk of breast cancer recurrence.

Statistics by Ethnicity

The average age of Black women diagnosed with breast cancer is 60 years old, compared to an average age of 62 for white women.

Black women are 40% more likely to die from breast cancer than white women.

Black women have the lowest 5-year relative breast cancer survival rate of any racial or ethnic group.

1 in 5 Black women with breast cancer are diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer, which is harder to treat. This is higher than any other racial or ethnic group.

Hispanics

Overall, Hispanic women have a 20% lower incidence rate of breast cancer than other groups.

Hispanic women are more likely than white women to be diagnosed with breast cancer at later stages when it is more difficult to treat.

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death for Hispanic women.

Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in U.S. women, behind lung cancer. The chance that a woman will die from breast cancer is 1 in 39, or about 2.5%.

In 2025, an estimated 42,170 women died from breast cancer in the U.S.

Women who receive regular screenings for breast cancer have a 26% lower breast cancer death rate than women who do not receive screenings.
