If you know me, you know I love my fur babies.

On March 3rd, my heart shattered as we lost our 5 yr old and my baby girl, Scout. 💔 We thought she has scratched her eye as the night of 3/2 she seemed like if you touched near her right eye it hurt her. The next morning she wouldn’t get up off our bed or open her eyes. My husband carried her downstairs and put her in the back of my car. I knew something was horribly wrong. We dropped the kids off at school. She had a horrible seizure in the back of my car. The day was a blur. Thank goodness for the earth angels at Port City Vet Hospital. 💓 By 4:00 pm she stopped breathing. They intubated her and kept hand-bagging her to keep her breathing until I could get there to say goodbye.

Anyone who knew Scout knew she was pure joy. A “here I am!”, kind of girl! 🌼

We have had a hard almost 2 weeks. It’s very soon, but our oldest dog (Timber) seemed lost without his sunshine sibling. We brought home this little lady to keep Timber on his toes and keep him company.

We will always love and miss you, Scout! ❤️‍🩹 Thank you for reminding us to find joy in the little things, tell people you love them and to live and enjoy the present.

I’m convinced you sent us “Junie” from your side of the Rainbow Bridge. We feel so lucky! 🍀 🌈

Thank you to everyone who has called/texted/send cards and gifts as we navigate Scout’s loss. 🫶 It has meant the world!

Still can’t believe it 🙌

My husband and I never took a honeymoon. We had barely enough money after paying for our wedding that we got a Groupon deal at a cheap motel in Jackson, NH in 2012.

We didn’t grow up with much. First time ever having passports. First trip without the kids.

✨ Pinch me! ✨

Looking forward to all the things being in sunny Mexico has to offer! 😍

See you all next year! 🗓️

Merry Christmas to you! 🎄✨

This year was a hard year, but today I am focusing on love and health. 🫶

Thankful for those who showed up and didn’t give up. 😘

Your kind words of “you’ve changed my life” or “I haven’t felt this good in a long time”, keep me going when the workload feels heavy. 🙌

May the 1st of the year be a feeling of relief and a new sense of wonder! 🗓️

Thank you for being here! YOU matter! 😘

Love,
Deena and the fam

World’s cheesiest smile 😚

But really I’m cheesing so hard because I’m so thankful.

Thankful people reach out and truly trust me when they are often at their worst, both physically and mentally.

I see men and women go from being flat, reserved and in emotional (and physical) pain, to feeling better than they have in years and start living the life they deserve.

I saw a patient this morning. When I first met her, she wore only black and lost her spark. She was in a total funk. A year later, she wears all the fun colors, gives me the biggest hugs and tells me she hasn’t felt this good in years. She’s post menopausal and was so happy to tell me she’s up at 6:30 am taking care of her chickens. And that my friends, is what this is all about! 🙌

It’s not about a number on the scale, a pant size, or your hormone labs compared to someone else’s.

It’s about living your best life while you’re here. Because tomorrow is never promised. It’s about reducing your risk of diabetes, heart disease, stroke, osteoporosis…and oh if you enjoy seggs more now too- you are welcome! 😘

I’ll call it radical healthcare 👩‍⚕️💓

You tell me, and I believe you.


I pick up subtleties and we make a plan.


You heal and get to live to your fullest potential.


It’s the greatest gift in my 20 years of nursing and nearly 10 as an NP. Thank you for believing in my legacy and being a part of this community! 🫶

20 years as a nurse. More than 20 years ago I learned about primary prevention. Let’s prevent disease before it actually develops! 🙌 Amen! 👩‍⚕️

Secondary prevention aims to prevent worsening or progression of already established diseases.

When people (like myself) see their insurance covers GLP-1s for heart disease reduction- we think prevention. Yes. My Dad had triple bypass in his early 50’s and his sister dropped dead of a heart attack around that age too. I don’t want to be a statistic because of my genetics! And I don’t want this for my patients either! 🫀

Whelp. The reality is insurance comes back with “we won’t cover GLP-1s for “weight loss alone”. And when you fire back to them about this persons horrible metabolic dysfunction and genetics they ask- “Have they had a stroke?” and “Have they had a heart attack or have established cardiovascular disease?”

To which my response is “NO and I don’t want them to have one because they have major risk factors for heart disease and stroke!”

And insurance still denies it. ⚠️‼️

The reality is insurance wants us to be sick. They will get their 💰 when we are sick and in the hospital. They don’t give a rats ass about you or your health.

Your angry NP,
Deena
