Integra Direct Primary Care PLLC

Integra Direct Primary Care PLLC We are a Direct Primary Care (DPC) internal medicine practice that delivers high-quality, affordable care.

DPC practices do not participate with or bill insurance and removes the middlemen from the medical decision making process. Instead it uses a monthly membership model that puts the patient back in control of their healthcare. The monthly membership covers all of your visits as well as: improved access to your doctor, being seen by only your doctor, same day or next day availability of appointments, different platforms for the appointments, improved face to face time with your doctor, longer visits, less computer/EMR distraction as well as financial savings through transparent, heavily discounted lab work, imaging and point of care testing. There are no co-payments, hidden visit fees or facility fees. The DPC model offers cost effective alternatives especially for those who are uninsured, have high deductibles or no secondary insurance. DPC practices have smaller patient panels so that more time can be provided to each patient. Integra DPC is an innovative medical practice that empowers members to make wellness a priority in all aspects of their lives, while creating a healthy work-life balance. We live out our core values - respect, integrity, healing, and excellence - as we serve our members, making each person a priority and approaching each encounter with compassion and dignity.

🌱 Lifestyle Medicine Pillar: Stress Reduction

Support Your Nervous System — One Gentle Moment at a Time

Stress isn’t just a feeling — it’s a physiological state that shapes your hormones, sleep, digestion, inflammation, and long-term health.

The goal isn’t to eliminate stress. It’s to help your body shift out of “fight or flight” and back into calm, steady, rest-and-digest. ✨

Why Stress Reduction Matters:
🧠 Calms the amygdala (your alarm center)
💓 Lowers cortisol + inflammation
😴 Improves sleep depth
🌬️ Supports heart rate variability
🫁 Improves digestion and immune function
💛 Strengthens emotional resilience

Simple Ways to Reduce Stress Today:
➡️ 5 slow breaths (inhale 4 sec, exhale 6 sec)
➡️ Step outside for 2 minutes of natural light
➡️ Set your phone down for a quiet moment
➡️ Take a 10-minute walk after a meal
➡️ Put one hand on your heart + breathe
➡️ Create a “no screen” window before bed

Your nervous system is not a problem —it’s a messenger.
Even tiny moments of calm can move you toward healing. 🤍

🌱 Lifestyle Medicine Pillar: Movement

Move Your Body — Gently, Consistently, Intentionally 🏃‍♀️

Movement doesn’t have to mean workouts, sweat, or perfection. It simply means using your body in ways that feel doable and kind.

Small, steady movement is one of the most powerful tools we have for healing. 🌿✨

Why Movement Matters:
💓 Improves heart and metabolic health
🧠 Boosts mood and sharpens focus
🔥 Reduces inflammation
🦴 Strengthens bones and joints
😴 Improves sleep quality
🌬️ Supports stress regulation + nervous system balance

Simple Ways to Move Today:
➡️ Take a 10-minute walk after a meal
➡️ Stretch for 5 minutes before bed
➡️ Stand and move every hour
➡️ Do gentle mobility while watching TV
➡️ Park a little farther away
➡️ Try a slow, mindful movement practice (yoga, tai chi, MELT, walking meditation)

Remember:
You don’t need a gym membership.
You don’t need intensity.
You just need movement that meets your life where it is.
Your body was made to move — even in small, meaningful ways. 💛

🩺💬 Friday Ask Dr. ?

Q: What’s the simplest way to reduce inflammation naturally?
A: If I had to choose one place to start, it would be this: support your nervous system and stabilize your blood sugar. 🌿

Inflammation isn’t just about joints or digestion — it's about how your entire body responds to stress, food, sleep, and daily habits.

Here’s why this works:
🧠 Calming the nervous system lowers cortisol, which reduces inflammatory signaling.
🍽️ Steady blood sugar prevents the spikes that drive inflammation, fatigue, and cravings.
💤 Better sleep directly decreases inflammatory markers.
🌬️ Deep breathing activates the vagus nerve, shifting you into rest-and-digest.
🥑 Nutrient-dense foods like berries, leafy greens, olive oil, and salmon calm inflammation from the inside out.

Try These Today:
➡️ Add protein + healthy fat to your breakfast
➡️ Take a 5–10 minute walk after meals
➡️ Sip water throughout the day
➡️ Practice 5 slow breaths when you feel tense
➡️ Prioritize 7–8 hours of restorative sleep

Small, consistent choices have powerful anti-inflammatory results. 💜

🌱 Lifestyle Medicine Pillar: Nutrition

Move One Step Closer to a WFPB Lifestyle

You don’t need to overhaul your entire diet overnight... you don’t need perfection, you just need one step in the direction of whole, nourishing, real foods. ✨

Whole-food, plant-based (WFPB) eating simply means:
🥦 more plants
🍎 fewer ultra-processed foods
🌾 more fiber
🫘 more nutrients
💧 more hydration
🍠 more color

It’s about adding life to your plate — one small shift at a time.

Try Moving One Step Closer Today:
➡️ Add a serving of veggies to one meal
➡️ Swap chips for fruit or nuts
➡️ Try a meatless meal once this week
➡️ Choose whole grains over refined ones
➡️ Fill half your plate with plants

Small changes create real momentum.

Every step toward WFPB eating reduces inflammation, improves gut health, boosts energy, and supports long-term healing. 🌿💛

You don’t have to do it all…you just have to begin gently.

🩺💬 Friday Ask Dr. ?

Q: What are signs my adrenals need support?
A: Your adrenals help regulate energy, stress response, blood pressure, hormones, and inflammation. When they’re under strain, your body sends signals — often subtle at first. 🌿

Common Signs Your Adrenals Need Support:
😴 Fatigue that isn’t fixed by sleep
☕ Craving caffeine or sugar to get through the day
🧠 Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
😣 Increased anxiety or feeling “wired but tired”
🌀 Lightheadedness when standing
💤 Poor sleep or waking up at 2–3 AM
🥺 Feeling overwhelmed by things that used to feel manageable
🔥 More inflammation, joint pain, or slowed digestion
💙 Low resilience — stress feels harder to bounce back from

Simple Ways to Support Your Adrenals:
➡️ Eat balanced meals with protein at each meal
➡️ Keep mornings calm + avoid screen overload
➡️ Add gentle movement (not excessive exercise)
➡️ Prioritize consistent sleep + earlier bedtimes
➡️ Use deep breathing to lower cortisol
➡️ Hydrate well, especially in the morning

Your adrenal system is incredibly adaptable — and even small shifts can improve energy, sleep, and mood. 💜

✨ Happy New Year ✨

There is something sacred about the first day of a new year — a quiet pause, a deep breath, a moment to remember what matters most. 🌟🤍

Today isn’t about pressure or perfection.

It’s about showing up for yourself in the small ways that matter:
🤍 with grace,
🤍 with kindness,
🤍 with mercy,
🤍 and with the patience to begin again, even if you’ve started over before.

As you step into this new year, may you give yourself permission to:
💛 rest without guilt
🌱 grow at your own pace
🤍 speak gently to yourself
🌙 release what no longer supports you
✨ choose what brings peace to your mind and body

You deserve a year filled with compassion — especially the kind you offer to yourself. 🌿

🩺💬 Friday Ask Dr. ?

Q: What’s the biggest misconception about preventive care?
A: That preventive care is only about yearly labs and screenings.

While those are important, true prevention starts with your daily habits and your nervous system. 🌿

What Preventive Care Really Includes:
🧠 Stress regulation — chronic stress accelerates aging + inflammation.
😴 Consistent, restorative sleep — one of the strongest predictors of long-term health.
🌞 Light exposure + movement — supports your metabolism and hormone balance.
🥗 Nutrient-dense meals — shape blood sugar, mood, and immune health.
💧 Hydration — small but powerful for digestion, energy, and cognition.
🫁 Breathing and vagus nerve support — regulates heart rate, mood, and inflammation.
💬 Relationship-based care — early conversations catch issues before they become problems.

Why This Matters:
Preventive care isn’t a checklist — It’s a partnership between you and your physician,
and the simple, daily choices that keep your body balanced and resilient. 💜

Try This Today:
➡️ Take a 5-minute walk after a meal
➡️ Go to bed 20 minutes earlier
➡️ Drink a glass of water before your coffee
➡️ Take 3–5 slow breaths before starting your day

Small habits lead to long-term health protection.

🔍 Myth Buster Monday 🔍

Myth: “Supplements are always safe because they’re natural.”
Fact: Natural doesn’t automatically mean safe.

Herbs and supplements are harmless, right? Not always!

Many herbs and supplements can:
⚠️ Interact with medications
💊 Affect blood pressure, heart rate, or liver function
🩺 Alter lab results
🧠 Impact the nervous system
🫀 Thin the blood or raise bleeding risk

Your body is wonderfully complex — and even natural products can have strong effects in unexpected ways.

What to Do Instead:
➡️ Choose supplements intentionally
➡️ Read labels carefully
➡️ Watch for side effects
➡️ Talk with your physician before starting something new

Wisdom is greater than assumptions.
Natural is not always risk-free. Choose wisely. ✨
