Besides MiraLAX:

I recommend making small, slow changes to your diet.

LOWER the grains and fiber.
INCREASE the real foods like meat, eggs, high-fat dairy (if you can tolerate it), veggies.

Most doctors have their own set methods for helping someone manage constipation, and that’s going to differ from doctor to doctor. This is what has worked for me and my patients, for a long time.

If you have your own doctor, please consult them first on what they recommend for you.

Mucinex is great for loosening mucus in the lungs. But please don't use it for your stuffy nose because it won't help.

Hi everyone, let me reintroduce myself for those who are new here.

I'm Dr. Josh Leavitt, board-certified family physician, and I run Independent Family Doctors. But I didn't start here.

I used to work in a big hospital system, seeing 20-30 patients a day. That gave me about 12 minutes per person.

𝟏𝟐 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡.

So in 2017, I did what you do when something doesn't work: I built something better. I opened my own clinic in Nampa (now we have a second location in Boise too). Two incredible women, Jane and Andrea, help make it all happen.

🎯 Our goal is to provide affordable and accessible primary care to individuals, families, and businesses.

𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐮𝐬:
You pay a flat monthly membership—no insurance, no surprise bills. That means I can spend 30-60 minutes with you, not 12. You can text me directly. You get same-day or next-day appointments. And I actually get to know you.

𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬:
Urgent care, preventative care, chronic conditions, pediatrics, women's and men's health, mental health, CDL exams, school physicals and even an in-house pharmacy so your prescriptions cost less.

We want to be your one-stop shop for all primary care needs.

𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐥𝐲 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 (𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐟𝐥𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐞, 𝐮𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞):
Ages 0-18 (with enrolled adult): $30/mo
Ages 0-18 (without): $50/mo
Ages 19-24: $60/mo
Ages 25-39: $90/mo
Ages 40-64: $110/mo
Ages 65+: $130/mo

No visit fees. No co-pays. Just care when you need it.

You deserve a doctor who has time for you. If you're looking for one, I'd be glad to help.

Don’t mind me. Just filling your feed with all this adorableness! Baby Charlotte is growing up too fast (trying to catch up to her 3 older sisters!).
I hope everyone had a blessed and delicious Thanksgiving!

Thank you, Chip! We appreciate your kind words and review!

They couldn't afford traditional insurance (up to $7,000/month) for their small team. Then they signed up with us - saving roughly 75%. We've been their primary care provider for six years now and we love working with this team. Michelle and Theresa, you're the best!

Thank you Treasure Valley Plumbing & Drain for working with us.

Team spotlight: Andrea! You may know her as the "tattoo lady" but did you know THIS about our Andrea?

1. I love history, especially anything from the Tudor Dynasty.
2. I collect old books and vinyl.
3. I’m always reading at least 3 books.
4. I love to collect sticks, rocks, flowers from nature and make dried flower arrangements and wreaths.
5. I love classic rock and folk music. And by classic I mean from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. Not the fricken 90’s.
6. I hate wearing shoes but I love buying shoes.
7. I have 2 wonderful children and 3 even more wonderful dogs 🙂
