A Public Statement from Your 24/7 Doctor (Apparently Also a Stunt Driver)

Dear Patients,

If you hear rumors that your primary care provider briefly achieved liftoff in a blue, rusty pickup truck today… please know the following:
1. Your prescriptions were still sent on time.
2. No medical advice was delayed during takeoff.
3. Yes, the truck did, in fact, come off all four wheels.

Now let me explain.

It was supposed to be a “quick test drive.” That’s how these things always start. One minute you’re discussing cholesterol management, the next you’re strapping on a helmet that looks like it belongs in a 1970s Evel Knievel tribute show.

The truck—affectionately known as Gloria—had two speeds: “Not Sure” and “Hold On.”

My racing partner said, “I bet she’s still got it.”

She did.

Unfortunately, what she “had” was lift.

When that truck launched into the air like a patriotic toaster, I had exactly three thoughts:
1. I hope my patients appreciate commitment.
2. I should have stretched.
3. This is going to be in the group text.

For a brief moment, we were airborne. Suspended between heaven and a questionable suspension system.

My buddy yelled, “WE’RE FLYING!”

I calmly replied, “Technically this is unplanned altitude.”

We landed with the grace of a dropped filing cabinet. The dust cloud could be seen from three parishes away.

And what did I do immediately after?

Answered a patient call.

Because while Gloria may leave the ground… your doctor does not.

If you’ve ever wondered whether I’m truly available 24/7, just know this:
• I will respond to your message.
• I will refill your medication.
• I will discuss your lab results.
• I may or may not be wearing a star-spangled helmet at the time.

Rest assured:
Your blood pressure will be managed.
Your diabetes will be monitored.
And your doctor will probably stay inside the truck next time.

Probably.

Warm regards,
Your slightly airborne, always available physician 🚑🏁

Let’s Talk About Gut Health… And, Rename a National Day…

Okay, we saw the calendar. While we appreciate a day that breaks the 'bathroom taboo,' as your Direct Primary Care team, we’re all about prevention and education.

So, we’re proposing a new name: Fiber Day!

Why? Because what you put in is the single biggest factor in what you get out. Celebrating fiber is a celebration of:
✅ Heart Health (Perfect for American Heart Month!)
✅ Gut Microbiome Diversity
✅ Stable Blood Sugar
✅ And, yes, regularity (let's just call it 'smooth sailing').

Fiber is the unsung hero of preventative medicine, and most of us aren't getting enough.

Don't worry, need ideas on how to get more fiber in your diet?
Check our comment section below! 👇 We've dropped some of our favorite tips to get you started.

If your family’s health insurance premiums feel like a black hole in your budget, this equation is for you.

$1,000+ (Traditional Insurance Premiums)
– $350 (Typical DPC Family Membership)
= $650 Monthly Savings

What if you could put $650 more in your pocket every month, while getting more from your primary care?
Imagine: longer visits, zero co-pays, and direct access to your doctor.

MIRA believes your healthcare should be transparent, affordable, and personal. Just what your family needs, along with no surprise medical expenses.

You know the feeling. You powered through the workday with a scratchy throat and a growing ache. But on the drive home, it crashes over you like a wave: the chills, the pounding head, the realization that this isn't just "a cold."

You think It’s the flu. And that makes sense because it’s everywhere, right now.

In that moment, you need a help, not a waiting room. You need advice, not an indefinite hold time. You need someone who knows you and can help now.

This is why MIRA Direct Primary Care exists.

Mira members can, forget the frantic search for an urgent care with hours-long waits. With MIRA, your provider is just a text or call away. Imagine being able to reach out to your physician on that very drive home to get trusted advice, a prescription sent to your pharmacy, and a plan to feel better, sooner.
