"Betcha can't eat just one"

Snack foods are designed to be the optimal formula of addictive to keep us coming back for more.

Did you know that 1/2 bag of chips is the same amount of calories as a 12oz steak? Which one makes you feel more full?

Next time you reach into the cupboard for that irresistible craving, remember- it's designed to be addictive, doesn’t nourish, and doesn’t fix hunger.
Ask yourself, am I eating because I'm truly hungry or am I eating because I'm bored, sad, stressed, or having irresistible cravings?

Understanding the "why" behind your eating habits is the first step towards making healthier choices!

From day one, we’ve built this practice around one thing: quality care over everything else.

Not volume. Not insurance metrics. Not corporate greed.

Because of that, our doctors intentionally keep smaller patient panels so every patient gets the time, access, and attention they deserve.

The good news?
Patients love it.

The challenge?
We keep filling up. Fast.

So… we’re growing again and we're VERY excited to welcome our next doc!

👩‍⚕️ If you’re a great physician who wants to practice medicine the way it was meant to be — where patients and your sanity come before profits — we’d love to talk. We’re hiring.

Recycling an old blog post circa 2021...still valid today.

In light of my recent decision to leave my practice in a big health network and transition to a new, better delivery model of healthcare (direct primary care), I recently decided to take inventory of how my time was spent in the “fee-for-service” realm of medicine while I still had the chance. F...

✈️ This photo says more than a scale ever could.

Meet “Cindy” (name changed to protect privacy). One year ago, buckling an airplane seatbelt was stressful and uncomfortable. Today? Extra slack. 💙

In just one year at Simplicity Health, Cindy has lost 55 pounds. But this wasn’t a straight line or a quick fix. There were tough visits. Setbacks. Real life. And real conversations.

What made the difference wasn’t shaming, scolding, or the tired advice of “just put the cookie down.” Weight loss is not a willpower problem. It’s often a complex mix of psychology, stress, habits, environment, and dopamine—our powerful, addictive “feel-good” hormone.

Our model allows true partnership. Time to understand the "why" behind harmful eating patterns. Space to work through stress eating, emotional eating, and overwhelm—without blame or guilt. When that partnership exists, teamwork replaces shame, and progress becomes sustainable.

This photo is a quiet victory, but a very POWERFUL one.

👏 Congrats, "Cindy," on all of your hard work. We’re proud of you.

This is Dr. Opperman posting. Not very often do I get to control our social media page...But I feel this documentary is very important to watch if you want to understand why our healthcare system is broken.

Check out the comment the section for the full length video. Would love to hear your comments too!

🍪🍨That snack in your cupboard didn’t become irresistible by accident.

Teams of food scientists are paid to design foods that trigger dopamine release and keep you coming back for more. They’ll tell you it’s not “addictive”...the preferred term is "highly craveable."🍟🥨

If you're struggling with food addiction, this piece of awareness may be a good first step towards cleaner eating and health in 2026! 👈

This holiday season, we’re feeling so bright,
Thanks to our patients, you make it just right!
No crowded waiting rooms, no rushed-through care,
Just real conversations and doctors who care.

From texts at odd hours to visits that last,
We’re here when you need us (not stuck in the past).
You’re not just a chart or a number on file,
You’re part of our family and that makes us smile.

We're changing the things we cannot accept in healthcare!

❤️Wishing you health, laughter, and plenty of cheer.

Happy Holidays from your Simplicity Health crew!❤️

Last night we had our annual Christmas party. Our activity for the evening was a private party at Painting with a Twist. Not only did we have a ton of fun with our gracious host Nora, but we also got a unique glimpse into each team member's personality!

🌟Who did it Best?🌟

We've attached the studio example of the painting and each team member's final product. Drop an emoji on your top 3 choices! We'll reveal our best artists later this week.

Today, we celebrated a staff birthday lunch today at Anatolian Grill Mediterranean Cuisine and it just so happened to be their grand opening!

From the moment we sat down, we felt completely spoiled. The bread was incredibly fresh and soft, every dish was flavorful and clearly made with care, and our entire staff couldn’t stop talking about the gyro meat. And the baklava? Unanimously declared the best any of us have ever had.

From all of us at Simplicity Health, we highly encourage you to check them out and show some love to this fantastic new local spot. You won’t be disappointed!
