Hahn Health PLLC

Hahn Health offers Concierge Primary Care Services in the comfort of your own home. Let your provider spend time getting to know you as a whole person.

Let us customize your care with a focus on what matters most to you. For over a decade, I have worked within the traditional primary care system as a Nurse Practitioner, but felt the limitations of rushed appointments and impersonal care. I witnessed the impact of burnout and stress on both my patients and myself, and knew there had to be a better way. In 2023, I founded Hahn Health to create a practice centered on trust, time, and genuine patient connection. Through in-home primary care in the Lakes Region, and personalized coaching for women seeking freedom from food struggles, I now provide the attentive care I believe everyone deserves. As a resident of the beautiful Lakes Region, alongside my husband and two children, I understand the importance of a balanced, thriving lifestyle. Whether you need trusted medical care or guidance on your wellness journey, I'm here to help you take the next step towards lasting health.

𝑺𝒕𝒐𝒑 𝒕𝒓𝒚𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 "𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒅" 𝒂𝒏 𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒓. 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒂𝒍 5 𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒖𝒕𝒆𝒔. ⏱️

We have an "All-or-Nothing" mindset about fitness (thanks, Dr. Burns, for pointing that out!).
We think: "I’m too busy to go to the gym, so I’ll do nothing."
But as a Nurse Practitioner, I want to introduce you to the concept of "𝑬𝒙𝒆𝒓𝒄𝒊𝒔𝒆 𝑺𝒏𝒂𝒄𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈."

Research suggests that short bursts of movement (exercise snacks) spread throughout the day can be just as effective for metabolic health as one long session.

Why?
When you move your muscles even just doing overhead presses with water bottles while sitting on the couch your muscles act like sponges. They soak up the glucose (sugar) in your blood stream to use as fuel.
This lowers your insulin. This clears the "fog."

My Current Reality:
I can’t run. I can’t walk for cardio.
So, I am becoming the Queen of the "Arm Workout" between documenting patient charts.

The Challenge:
Do not overcomplicate this.
While your coffee brews? Do 20 squats (or arm circles).
While you brush your teeth? Do calf raises (on your good leg!).
On a Zoom call? Flex your abs.

👇 MOVEMENT CHECK:
What is one "Exercise Snack" you can eat today?

𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑶𝒍𝒚𝒎𝒑𝒊𝒄 𝑺𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕 𝒏𝒐𝒃𝒐𝒅𝒚 𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒔 𝒇𝒐𝒓.🏅

If you need me, I’ll just be here in my kitchen, trying to figure out the physics of getting caffeine into my body without use of my hands or my right leg.

𝑪𝒖𝒓𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒔: 90% Flamingo, 10% Nurse Practitioner.

Why am I sharing this (besides for your entertainment)?
Because Recovery and Health is messy.
We want the journey to look like a polished montage where we eat the salad and smile.
In reality?
It looks like sliding a coffee mug across a counter because you can’t walk.
It looks like meal prepping while sitting on a stool because your back hurts.
It looks like ordering the burger without the bun and having to explain it to the waiter.
𝑱𝒂𝒎𝒆𝒔 𝑾𝒆𝒅𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒔𝒂𝒚𝒔: "We don't need it to be perfect; we just need it to get done."

I didn't look graceful getting my coffee this morning. But I got the coffee.
And that counts as a win.

𝑰 𝒕𝒐𝒐𝒌 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒎𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒅. 🕰️

I found this photo in my camera roll today.
At the time, I remember criticizing myself. I probably thought I looked tired, or I wished I was 5 pounds lighter, or I was stressed about a deadline.
Looking at it now from the perspective of someone recovering from a fractured fibula and torn ligament I just want to shake that woman.

I want to say:
"Do you see that? You are standing. You are walking without pain. Your body is carrying you through the world effortlessly. Stop critiquing it and start thanking it."
We do this with our Metabolic Health, too.
We spend so much time angry at our bodies.
😡 "Why is my metabolism so slow?"
😡 "Why can't I lose the weight faster?"

We treat our bodies like enemies.
But your body is fighting for you every single second. Even when it’s insulin resistant, it is trying to protect you. Even when it’s inflamed, it is trying to heal you.

The Shift:
You cannot heal a body you hate.
Today, I am looking back at this photo not with sadness, but with a promise:
When I am back on two feet, I will never curse my legs for being "too thick" or "too slow" again. I will just be grateful they can move.

👇 THURSDAY GRATITUDE:
Don't wait until you are injured to appreciate what you have.
Name ONE thing your body allows you to do today.

(Can you drive? Can you hug your kids? Can you taste your coffee?)

𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒕 𝒇𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒅. 🧾

We often look at our habits and ask: "Why can't I stop?"
Dr. David Burns teaches us a different question: "What is the Cost-Benefit Analysis?"
Last week (Day 3), we admitted the Benefits: Sugar soothes us. It’s reliable. It’s quick comfort.

But as the CEO of your own health, you have to look at the Costs.
If we continue to use food to treat our feelings, we have to pay the invoice.
When I look at Metabolic Syndrome, the "price tag" for that nightly sugar hit usually includes:
❌ The Physical Cost: Inflammation that makes my broken leg hurt more.
❌ The Energy Cost: That heavy, sluggish feeling that hits 20 minutes after the sugar high.
❌ The Mental Cost: The shame cycle that starts the moment the plate is empty.

The Paradox:
The thing that comforts you is also the thing hurting you.
I’m not telling you to diet today. I am inviting you to do a simple audit.

👇 THE QUESTION:
Look at your current struggle. Is the "comfort" you get from the food worth the "price" you are paying in your health?
If the price is getting too high, drop a "💸" below.

𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒎 𝒊𝒔𝒏'𝒕 𝒃𝒓𝒐𝒌𝒆𝒏. 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒍𝒐𝒄𝒌 𝒊𝒔 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒋𝒂𝒎𝒎𝒆𝒅. 🔐

If you constantly struggle with:
Mid-afternoon fatigue (The Crash)
Cravings for sweets right after eating
Weight accumulating around your belly

You do not have a willpower problem. You likely have Insulin Resistance.

Let’s break down the science simply:

Think of your body’s cells like a house.
To keep the lights on and the house warm, you need fuel (Glucose/Food) to get inside.
Insulin is the KEY that opens the front door to let that fuel in.

✅ In a healthy metabolism:
You eat ➡️ Insulin unlocks the door ➡️ Fuel goes in ➡️ You feel energized.

❌ In Insulin Resistance:
You’ve been ringing the doorbell so many times (eating sugar/frequent snacking) that the lock has become "jammed" or resistant.

You eat ➡️ Insulin tries to use the key, but the lock is stuck ➡️ Fuel stays stuck in your blood (High Blood Sugar) ➡️ Your cells starve.

The Result?
Your blood is full of sugar (toxic), but your cells are starving for energy (fatigue).
So your brain screams: "EAT MORE SUGAR!" trying to get energy in.
It’s a vicious cycle. You aren't greedy. Your cells are starving because the door is stuck.

The Fix:
We have to clean out the lock. This happens when we lower insulin levels (through fasting, low-carb nutrition, or movement) to let the sensitivity return.

👇 CHECK IN:
Does this analogy make sense? Drop a "🔑" if you’ve ever felt like you just ate but your body is still screaming for energy.

How many times have you eaten way too much on a Sunday night because "The Diet Starts Monday"?

We treat Monday like a judge who is going to sentence us to prison (a diet). So, we treat the weekend like a frantic party before the jail cell closes.

This is a trap.

As a Nurse Practitioner, I see the biological cost of this mindset.
Those Sunday binges spike your insulin and inflammation so high that by Monday morning, you are chemically craving more sugar. You are setting yourself up to fail before the week even begins.
The "Business By Design" Mindset Shift:
A CEO doesn't wait for "next week" to fix a bleeding bank account. They fix it the moment they see it.
Your metabolic health is the same.
There is no magic in Monday.
There is no glory in a "perfect start."
The Antidote:
The best time to reset your metabolism was 10 years ago.
The second best time is your very next bite.
Not tomorrow. Not Monday. Next bite.

👇 COMMITMENT:
Drop the word "NOW" below if you are willing to break the "Monday" cycle and just make a good choice today.

𝑯𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒐 𝑾𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒖𝒕𝒕𝒐𝒏? 🔴

It’s Sunday. Let’s do a little thought experiment.

Imagine I came to your house today with a Magic Button.
I tell you: "If you press this button, your sugar cravings will vanish instantly. You will wake up tomorrow only wanting grilled chicken and vegetables. You will never desire a cookie, a glass of wine, or a bagel again."
𝑫𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒊𝒕?

Most people immediately say: "YES! Give me the button!"

But Dr. David Burns, the father of the CBT techniques I use, says we need to pause.

If you press that button, you lose the "comfort" of the cookie.
You lose the ritual of the wine at 5 PM.
You lose the "celebration" of the birthday cake.
𝑰𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒉𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒕... 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒂 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝒔𝒂𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒃𝒖𝒕𝒕𝒐𝒏?

That sadness? That is your Resistance.
And that is the real reason we struggle to stick to a plan. We aren't fighting the food; we are grieving the loss of the comfort it brings.
To reverse Metabolic Syndrome, we can't just rely on willpower. We have to negotiate with that part of us that is afraid to press the button.

👇 TELL ME BELOW:
Be honest. Would you press it immediately? Or would you hesitate because you’d miss your favorite treats?

𝑫𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒓𝒖𝒏 𝒂 𝒎𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒏. 𝑱𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒘𝒊𝒈𝒈𝒍𝒆 𝒂 𝒕𝒐𝒆. 🦶

We have this toxic belief in the fitness world:
"Go Big or Go Home."
As a Nurse Practitioner and currently as a patient recovering from a broken fibula I am telling you to ignore that.

"Going Big" is often what leads to burnout and injury.
"Going Small" is what leads to sustainable change.
In this video, I’m doing my Physical Therapy. It doesn't look like much. I’m not sweating buckets. I’m not breaking records.
But I am signaling to my body that we are healing.
If you are dealing with Metabolic Syndrome, you might feel overwhelmed by the mountain you have to climb.

You might think, "I can't go to the gym, so I'll do nothing."
𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝑨𝒍𝒍-𝒐𝒓-𝑵𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈. And it keeps you stuck.

Dr. David Burns teaches us to break the inertia by making the task so small you can't say no.
❌ Can't walk 3 miles?
✅ Walk to the mailbox.
❌ Can't do 20 pushups?
✅ Do 5 wall presses while your coffee brews.
In a month, those small movements compound. You will be in a completely different place than you are today.

👇 SATURDAY CHALLENGE:
Pick one TINY movement today.
Walk around the block? Stretch for 2 minutes? Dance to one song?
Tell me what your "1%" is below.

𝑰 𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒕 40 𝒅𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂 10-𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒖𝒕𝒆 𝒕𝒂𝒔𝒌. 🚿

If you saw my video last week, you know the saga of "The Shower."
Since fracturing my fibula, taking a shower felt like climbing Everest. It was terrifying. It was painful. So, I avoided it.

My brain whispered: "It’s too hard. You aren't ready. Just wait."
This is what Dr. David Burns calls "Emotional Reasoning."
We mistake our feelings for facts.
Because I felt scared, I assumed the shower was dangerous.
But once I actually got in? It was fine. In fact, it was healing. The fear was a liar.

I see this in Metabolic Health every single day.

You know you need to change your diet. You know you need to cut the sugar.
But your brain whispers:
"It’s going to be too hard."
"I’ll be miserable."
"I can’t do it."
So you don't start. You stay in the "comfort zone" which, ironically, isn't very comfortable at all (just like sponge baths weren't comfortable for me!).

𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒕𝒉 𝒊𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒂 𝒔𝒐𝒍𝒐 𝒔𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕. 🤝

I used to think that being "strong" meant doing everything myself.
Running the business.
Managing the kids' schedules.
Handling the meals.
But since fracturing my fibula, that "Superwoman" cape has been forcibly removed. And honestly? It’s been a lesson I didn't know I needed.

I recorded this video to publicly thank the village that has stepped up.
To the moms in my hood walking my kids to the bus stop...
To the friends driving my kids to hockey practice...
Thank you.
Here is the connection to your health:
Isolation is inflammatory.
Trying to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders spikes your cortisol, which wreaks havoc on your blood sugar and metabolism.
We often overeat because we are lonely, overwhelmed, or unsupported.

So, part of my recovery strategy and yours isn't just about what's on your plate. It's about who is in your corner.

𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝑰’𝒎 𝒓𝒆𝒇𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝒉𝒆𝒍𝒑 𝒚𝒐𝒖 "𝒇𝒊𝒙" 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒅𝒊𝒆𝒕 𝒕𝒐𝒅𝒂𝒚. 🛑

We are taught that to get healthy, we have to fight our bodies and hate our habits. We look at overeating or sugar addiction as a sign of weakness or a "defect" that needs to be surgically removed.

But since diving into Dr. David Burns' TEAM-CBT approach, I’ve realized we have it backward.

𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒉𝒂𝒃𝒊𝒕 𝒊𝒔𝒏'𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒃𝒍𝒆𝒎. 𝑰𝒕’𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒐𝒍𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏.

If you are dealing with Metabolic Syndrome, or just feeling stuck, let's be honest about the BENEFITS of staying exactly where you are:

1. 𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒕: Food is a hug that doesn't ask questions.
2. 𝑹𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒂𝒃𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚: When the day goes wrong (like breaking a fibula 🙋‍♀️), sugar is there.
3. 𝑨𝒏𝒙𝒊𝒆𝒕𝒚 𝑴𝒂𝒏𝒂𝒈𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕: It actually works to sedate those racing thoughts for a few minutes.

If I tried to rip that "coping mechanism" away from you right now, I’d be taking away your best friend.

𝑺𝒐, 𝒍𝒆𝒕’𝒔 𝒕𝒓𝒚 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒅𝒊𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒕.

I’m not asking you to stop. I’m asking you to acknowledge why it works. We cannot change what we do not understand.

👇 𝑻𝑬𝑳𝑳 𝑴𝑬: What is the #1 benefit you get from your favorite comfort food? Does it help you relax? Does it help you celebrate?

Let’s validate it before we try to change it.

𝑺𝒕𝒐𝒑 𝒏𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒛𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒄𝒓𝒂𝒑. 🛑

We tell ourselves little lies as we hit midlife:
"I'm just getting older."
"I'm just a tired mom."
"My metabolism has slowed down."

But as a Nurse Practitioner, I look at the data. And often, what you call "aging" is actually Metabolic Syndrome.

Swipe through ➡️ to see the 3 sneaky signs that your metabolic health needs attention.

Here is the science: When your cells stop responding to insulin (the key that unlocks energy), your body goes into storage mode.

1. You store fat in the belly.
2. Your energy crashes because fuel can't get in .
3. Your brain gets foggy.

This isn't a life sentence. It is a signal. And signals can be turned off.
