🎄🎅 GLP-1: ELF ON THE SHELF EDITION

🎄We walked into work this morning and found "Jonesy" lounging dramatically in Exam Room 1, one candy cane away from a medical intervention. 😮

💬 He said — and we quote:

“Look, I’ve got a family history of diabetes and heart disease… 🫀
and this BELLY SITUATION is out of control!
I can’t even bend down to tie my elf shoes anymore.” 😩

😳 SAME, JONESY. SAME.

So now he’s on our MEDICALLY SUPERVISED GLP-1 PLAN at METABOLIC & LONGEVITY CLINIC OF LOUISIANA — because this elf is DONE with marshmallow madness! 🤪

🌟AT OUR CLINIC, EVERY GLP-1 TREATMENT PLAN INCLUDES:

🩺 Full medical history on every patient
🩸 Diagnostic lab work
💉 PERSONALIZED GLP-1 dosing
📋 Program supervised by Dr. Gary Jones, cardiovascular surgeon

🌟 THIS ISN’T A QUICK FIX.
IT’S A REAL METABOLIC RESET.

🎅 If an elf can do it, you can too!

👇 TREAT YOURSELF to our GLP-1 program at Metabolic & Longevity Clinic of Louisiana - and TAG A FRIEND “WHOSE ELF” NEEDS A METABOLIC RESET. 😉

🎄📞Our office elf, Jonesy, has officially gone ROGUE!

Last night he snuck in, brewed a pot of caffeinated chaos, and took over our voicemail system. 😳

🎧 You’ve just GOTTA hear his MESSAGE! 😂

💬We want to hear from YOU!

👇 Drop a comment and tell us:
What kind of trouble has YOUR Elf on the Shelf been getting into?
(Extra points for pics. We love evidence. 😂)

🎁 TUESDAY TIP

Remember those 1980s TV messages with Tom Brokaw and the shooting star?💫📺
“The more you know…”

🎁 This holiday season, give yourself something priceless: KNOWLEDGE. CONFIDENCE. A HEALTHIER FUTURE.

💡Learn something new about your heart, your blood sugar, your circulation, your medications, your risks, and your options.

You don’t need to be tech-savvy. Start with ONE question:

• What does my A1c really mean?
• What is peripheral artery disease and what are the warning signs?
• How does blood pressure affect my heart?
• What foods can help lower inflammation?

If you don’t know where to start (or don’t know how to navigate the internet), that’s okay:
📞 CALL US. WE CAN HELP! (318) 442-0106

🎄💚 December is here — which means temptation season has officially begun.
Gingerbread everything, candy canes everywhere, and snacks that mysteriously multiply overnight. 😂

✨How about going into the holidays guilt-free? Try sipping a GREEN GRINCH SMOOTHIE - Healthy, festive, and zero sugar shock.
Now that’s a holiday mood even the Grinch couldn’t steal. ❤️💚

“Maybe Christmas (he thought) doesn’t need to be sweet. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means something HEALTHY to eat!” 💚

Happy December from Dr. Gary Jones & the team at LACVT + Diabetes Relief of Louisiana!
