Hi everyone! I hope you all had wonderful holidays.
I wanted to share a quick update with everyone who has been following along 🤍

I am diligently working behind the scenes on the opening of my Direct Primary Care (DPC) practice, with an anticipated opening in late summer/early fall 2026.

While the original plan was to open in Parrish, I am also actively exploring some exciting availability just outside the Parrish area in Bradenton / Lakewood Ranch. I’ll be sure to share updates as plans continue to take shape.

Thank you so much for all of the questions, encouragement, and genuine interest—it truly means the world to me. I will continue to keep this page updated as news comes in, and I can’t wait to meet you all soon!

Here’s a pic of my Charlie girl to make you smile!

🐾 Pets & Primary Care: Why Having a Dog (or Any Pet) Is Good for Your Health

Did you know that owning a dog or another pet can have real health benefits? Beyond companionship, studies show that pets can improve both physical and mental health:

✅ Lower stress & blood pressure – Petting a dog or cat can calm the nervous system and reduce cortisol.
✅ Encourage activity – Daily walks and playtime keep both you and your pet moving.
✅ Boost mood – Pets offer unconditional love, which can help reduce loneliness and symptoms of depression.
✅ Strengthen immunity – Early exposure to pets may help kids build stronger immune systems.
✅ Heart health – Pet owners are often at lower risk of heart disease.

At our Direct Primary Care practice, we focus on the whole person—that means considering the simple, joyful things in life that help you stay well. Sometimes, the best medicine really does come with four paws and a wagging tail. 🐕🐾

Do you have a pet that’s made a difference in your health? Share your story with us—we’d love to hear it!

Seabreeze Health DPC is proud to represent at the Manatee County Medical Society Gala 2025!

Happy Labor Day Weekend!
Here is some food for thought from your friendly neighborhood family and lifestyle medicine doc! Let me know what questions you have!

🌿 What Can the World’s Healthiest People Teach Us?

In certain corners of the globe—called Blue Zones—people live longer, healthier, and happier lives. These communities have unusually high numbers of people living past 100, with remarkably low rates of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and dementia.

So what’s their secret?
Researchers have identified five key lifestyle pillars that these populations share:

1️⃣ Move Naturally – They don’t rely on gyms; their lives are filled with natural movement like walking, gardening, and using their bodies throughout the day.

2️⃣ Eat Mostly Plants – Their diets are rich in vegetables, beans, whole grains, and healthy fats, with meat in small amounts and minimal processed foods.

3️⃣ Purpose & Mindset – They wake up with a sense of purpose, which protects mental health and lowers stress.

4️⃣ Connection & Community – Strong social ties and supportive relationships keep them active, engaged, and emotionally fulfilled.

5️⃣ Rest & Stress Reduction – Regular rest, spiritual practice, and mindful living help reduce chronic inflammation and protect long-term health.

💡 These principles line up perfectly with Lifestyle Medicine—a science-backed approach to preventing and even reversing chronic diseases by focusing on healthy habits, not just prescriptions

🌿 Let’s Talk Lifestyle Medicine! 🩺✨

Did you know that 80% of chronic diseases can be prevented or improved through simple lifestyle changes? That’s the heart of Lifestyle Medicine — treating the root cause, not just the symptoms. 🙌

Here are 6 powerful (and doable!) tips to start healing from the inside out:

✅ Eat more plants – Add more veggies, fruits, legumes, and whole grains to your plate. Start with one plant-based meal per day!

🛏️ Prioritize sleep – Aim for 7–9 hours a night. Wind down with screens off and lights dimmed 30 minutes before bed.

🏃‍♂️ Move daily – You don’t need a gym! A brisk walk, a dance break, or a quick stretch session counts.

🧘 Manage stress – Deep breathing, journaling, prayer, meditation… whatever helps you feel grounded.

❤️ Build strong connections – Call a friend, eat dinner with family, or join a local group. Social health is health.

🚭 Avoid risky substances – Limit alcohol, quit to***co, and avoid other harmful substances.

These aren’t “extras” — they’re the foundation of better health, more energy, and a longer, fuller life. 🌟

Lifestyle medicine isn’t about perfection — it’s about progress. One small step at a time. 👣

🌊 SeaBreeze Health DPC: Your Questions Answered!

I’m often asked about Direct Primary Care (DPC)—what it is, how it works, and how it can benefit YOU. Here are some of the top questions I get about my upcoming practice, SeaBreeze Health DPC:

💬 What is Direct Primary Care (DPC)?
👉 It’s a membership-based model where you pay a low monthly fee for direct access to your own doctor—with no insurance middlemen. It’s healthcare that’s personal, affordable, and accessible.

💬 Is DPC insurance?
👉 No—it’s not insurance. You’ll still want insurance for things like hospitalizations or specialist care, but your everyday healthcare, wellness, and urgent needs can be managed through your DPC membership.

💬 What’s included in the membership?
👉 Unlimited office visits, virtual visits (text, phone, video), longer appointment times, annual physicals, basic in-office procedures, and deeply discounted labs & medications.

💬 How much will it cost?
👉 The monthly fee will likely average around $90 per month, though this is not yet finalized and may adjust slightly based on the cost of running the clinic. I promise to always maintain full transparency when it comes to pricing and care.

💬 Do I still need health insurance?
👉 Yes, I recommend you keep some form of insurance for emergencies, but DPC can significantly lower your overall healthcare costs by reducing reliance on insurance for routine care.

💬 Why should I choose SeaBreeze Health DPC?
👉 You’ll have one-on-one care from me, your physician, with a focus on lifestyle changes, prevention, and wellness—and medications when needed. No rushed visits. No surprise bills. Just care that puts you first.

✨ Opening in 2026!
I’ll be sharing updates, healthy living tips, and more throughout the year.

🌿 Hi friends! I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and share a little about who I am—both personally and professionally.

I’m a doctor who believes in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. My passion lies in lifestyle medicine, focusing on nutrition, movement, stress management, and working to uncover the root causes of illness. I believe in combining lifestyle changes with medication when needed to create a balanced, personalized approach to care—because true healing often requires both.

In my own life, I try to practice what I preach:
🥦 I’m passionate about healthy eating and finding balance.
🏃‍♀️ I make time for exercise and staying active.
👨‍👩‍👧 Family time keeps me grounded and brings me so much joy.
🐶 And I’m a lifelong dog lover—they’re a daily reminder to slow down and appreciate the little things.

I’m also incredibly excited to share that I’ll be the sole physician running my own practice, SeaBreeze Health DPC, which will officially open in about one year! It’s been a dream of mine to create a space where patients are truly heard, cared for as individuals, and supported in achieving their best possible health.

In the meantime, I’ll be sharing updates and simple lifestyle tips over the next year to help you feel your best, even before the doors officially open.

Thank you for following along—I can’t wait to serve this community and help others live well inside and out. 💙

🌟 What is Direct Primary Care?

Simple. Personal. Affordable.

✅ No Insurance Hassles
You pay a flat monthly fee — like a gym membership — for unlimited access to your doctor.

✅ More Time with Your Doctor
Appointments are longer, unrushed, and focused entirely on you. Text, call, or video chat your doctor anytime.

✅ Transparent Pricing
No surprise bills. No copays. Discounts on labs, imaging, and medications.

✅ Comprehensive Care
Annual checkups, sick visits, chronic disease management, and wellness — all included.

⸻

In short:
DPC puts the doctor-patient relationship first — not the insurance company.
It’s healthcare the way it should be: simple, direct, and built around you.
