NOT an April Fool's post.

Help us find the right Doctor and Medical Assistant to join our practice.

Physician:
We are seeking a passionate physician who is ready to practice medicine the way it was meant to be practiced.

Board-certified in Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, or Pediatrics.
Certified in Obesity Medicine (or interested in pursuing certification).

A doctor who genuinely loves connecting with patients. The ideal candidate will be someone who recognizes the failings of the current health system and challenges the status quo—someone who thinks outside the box. Whether he/she is already feeling burnt out on the traditional healthcare treadmill, or simply knows that there's a more fulfilling way to provide care, we want to hear from him/her.

What We Offer:
Enjoy spending time with your patients again.
Medical decisions are made by you, the physician—not by insurance companies or administrators.
Enjoy a quality lifestyle free from the nonsense of the fee-for-service model. No more ridiculous administrative oversight, coding headaches, or arbitrary metrics that do nothing to improve actual patient care.
A highly supportive clinical staff and a flexible schedule that respects your time and well-being.

Clinical Support: CMA or LPN
We are also searching for a dedicated Certified Medical Assistant (CMA) or Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) to be the true heartbeat of the patient experience here at Revitalize Metabolic Health.

Active CMA or LPN certification with excellent phlebotomy skills.

A proactive, detail-oriented problem-solver with a "no task is too small" attitude. They should be deeply passionate about metabolic and preventative health, and eager to move away from the traditional healthcare model toward a truly relationship-driven approach.

This is a versatile, dynamic role that blends hands-on clinical care (rooming, taking vitals, drawing blood, assisting with procedures) with concierge-level front-office hospitality (scheduling, navigating the EHR, and patient education).

If you know any great candidates for either position, please have them reach out to us at Clinic@RevitalizeMetabolicHealth.com.

Thank you!

What is GLP 3? Let’s talk about the evolution from GLP-1 to the myth of the "GLP-3." Medications like Retatrutide are incredibly exciting for metabolic health, but the terminology can get confusing. It’s a triple agonist (hitting GLP-1, GIP, and Glucagon receptors), not a new "GLP-3" pathway!

Your doctor doesn’t even talk about the biggest threat to your health . . .

Visceral Fat – The Hidden Killer. Unlike subcutaneous fat (the jiggly fat we can pinch), visceral fat wraps around your vital organs like your heart, liver, and intestines. It is metabolically active and constantly secretes dangerous inflammatory signals.

Having high levels of visceral fat drastically increases your risk for type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and even some cancers -- even if you appear otherwise fit on the outside. It truly is the biometric that matters most.

Join me Saturday, March 21, at 9 AM for our next Walk with a Doc on the Cushman Trail. We’re going to discuss practical, evidence-based solutions for actively reducing this specific, dangerous fat.

Take charge of your health. See you on the trail!

The Details:
• When: Saturday, March 21 | 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM
• Where: Grandview Trailhead (Wollochet Dr. exit) of the Cushman Trail, Gig Harbor
• Cost: 100% Free. All welcome. Bring family, friends, kids, and well-behaved dogs! No registration required.

Let’s have a candid conversation about the reality of modern medicine.

If you want insurance to pay for your health care, you're not going to like what you get. When insurance companies hold the purse strings, they also get to pull the strings on your treatment plan—dictating which medications you can take, which specialists you can see, and how much time your doctor can actually spend with you.

You know when your doctors say they won't order certain tests? It's because it's not worth fighting the insurance companies to approve reimbursement. The endless red tape, prior authorizations, and outright denials exhaust the system and compromise your care.

That’s exactly why we operate as a Direct Care practice. At Revitalize Metabolic Health, we removed the middlemen so we can focus entirely on YOU. We answer to our patients, not to an insurance adjuster in a boardroom.

Your health decisions should be made between you and your doctor. Period.

Feeling tired today? Blame your clock.

Daylight Saving Time started this past Sunday, which means brighter evenings—but also a temporary adjustment for our bodies.

Most people aren’t fans of the twice-yearly clock change. Polls show many would prefer Daylight Saving Time year-round, while others favor Standard Time. Changing it nationwide would require Congress to agree on one system… so we may be waiting a while.

Even though it’s just a one-hour shift, studies have linked the transition to:
• Decreased alertness
• Up to a 30% increase in fatal traffic accidents
• More workplace injuries
• Higher rates of heart attacks
• Increased pregnancy and childbirth complications
• Immune and digestive issues
• Increased mental health concerns related to substance use

The bright side? More daylight.

Longer evenings mean more opportunities to get outside and move your body:
• Take a walk
• Do some yard work
• Play golf
• Try pickleball
• Anything that gets you moving

Until the time change eventually disappears, consider this your reminder for a healthy reset. Take advantage of the extra daylight and invest in your health.

If fat loss were about discipline, everyone would be lean by now.

Most people struggling with weight aren’t failing — their physiology is fighting them.

Sleep deprivation.
Chronic stress.
Muscle loss from dieting.
Inefficient exercise.
Constant eating.
Medications.
Inflammation.

These are biological signals that push your body toward fat storage.

And no — the solution isn’t another supplement, hormone hack, or medication layered on top of a broken system.

Fat loss improves when you:
• Fix sleep and stress
• Build metabolically active muscle
• Train intelligently
• Eat nutrient-dense food
• Restore metabolic flexibility

Supplements and medications may have a role in specific cases — but they are adjuncts, not foundations.

Your body doesn’t respond to shame or shortcuts.
It responds to physiology.

The official new Dietary Guidelines have been released -- the archaic, fat-phobic food pyramid has been turned upside down!

It's a welcome change, finally prioritizing nutrient-dense foods -- quality proteins --instead of energy-dense, nutrient-poor foods -- carbs/grains.

The document is still not where it needs to be, to address the epidemic of chronic disease. The power of these Dietary Guidelines is underappreciated -- these guidelines impact not only the US but many other countries around the world.

The changes are slow, but finally heading in the right direction.

People believe that their health insurance is giving them the best prices on medical services including prescription medication.

Not so, at all.

Here's one of many examples of how Direct Primary Care (DPC) can help you save big on health care.

We purchase medications at wholesale prices and pass the savings on to our patients. That's one of many benefits that our patients enjoy at Revitalize Metabolic Health.

Quit throwing money away on health insurance -- insurance companies profit by NOT paying for your health care.
