Before & After.
Same daughter. Different mother.
Hello Perfect Patients and Future Perfect Patients, it’s Lakesha, Director of Marketing and Patient Experience for Mango Medical DPC.
You know how Facebook sends you those reminders? It showed me a memory of my daughter’s high school graduation, and I couldn’t help but compare it to her college graduation just a few weeks ago.
The first photo is her high school graduation.
The second is her college graduation celebration.
What changed isn’t just time.
Between these two moments, I learned what it truly means to take care of myself. I learned that inflammation, not just weight, shows up in the body. I learned how poor sleep, blood sugar swings, hormonal shifts, nutrient depletion, and constant go mode quietly drive inflammation. I also learned how inflammatory foods can keep that cycle going even when you think you are doing everything right.
Highly processed foods, excess sugar, refined flours, seed oils, alcohol, and foods your body is sensitive to can all contribute to ongoing inflammation. Food can either calm inflammation or fuel it.
I didn’t just age.
I carried businesses, people, responsibility, loss, joy, pressure, and purpose all at once.
What changed is that I stopped normalizing go mode.
I stopped ignoring symptoms.
I stopped believing that this is just how it is.
This is why Mango Medical DPC exists.
Because health is not just about prescriptions.
It’s about having a doctor who sees the whole picture, understands the season you are in, and knows that health is not just about the number on a scale. It’s about being well. It’s about testing, not guessing, and having someone walk with you through the process.
Same proud mother.
Same brilliant daughter.
A very different relationship with my own health.
