Flow Wellness Medical Director Kevin Jones, MD discusses GLP-1 medication on Central Oregon Daily News
BEND, Ore. – Nearly two decades after GLP-1 receptor agonists were first approved to treat Type 2 diabetes, the drugs have surged in popularity as a weight-loss tool, drawing millions of users worldwide — and stirring both praise and controversy. While some patients say medications like Ozempic and Wegovy are life-changing, it comes with some controversy, from misconceptions to lawsuits.
After struggling with her health for years, Jennifer Burnett of Redmond was tired of trying things that didn’t work.
“I've already tried those things, and not just short-term. I'm talking I invested years on different processes,” Burnett said. “It's really tough when the specialists don't have answers of why the pounds aren't coming off."
Burnett said GLP-1s were a last resort. She has been on Ozempic for three months now. In the first month, she lost 15 pounds.
She said one of the hardest challenges is facing the misconceptions that come with taking the weight loss medication.
“I like to be outdoors and be active, but being overweight, people assume that's not what I'm all about,” Burnett said.
Kevin Jones, owner and medical director of Flow Wellness in Bend, says some people feel guilty about going on GLP-1s.
“We're in this culture where we're eating unhealthy food and we're not as active as we used to be and your body has this set point that can eventually develop and it can be really hard to overcome that,” Jones said.
Jones said the medication works by activating the enzyme that tells your body that it's full. The medication is developed from the venom of a Gila monster, which is a giant lizard that only has to eat every several months.
“People call it food noise or food cravings, and GLP-1s really calm that food noise down,” Jones said.
But the medication isn’t without its side effects. One of the most common side effects is gastrointestinal problems, with loss of
Your best years don’t have to be behind you. Support makes all the difference.

Hair Loss During Weight Loss?
Noticing more hair shedding since starting your weight-loss medication? Don’t panic — it’s actually common, and most importantly, temporary.
When your body is losing weight, it’s under stress and shifting energy toward essential systems. This can cause a brief phase called telogen effluvium, where hair follicles rest — leading to more strands in the brush.
At Flow Wellness, we help patients protect and restore healthy hair growth while on GLP-1 medications like semaglutide or tirzepatide.
Our top recommendations:
• Get enough protein (about 0.8–1g per pound of ideal body weight)
• Take a daily multivitamin with biotin and zinc
• Prioritize sleep and stress recovery
• Ask your provider about supportive nutrients for hair, skin, and nail health
With the right support, new hair growth almost always returns stronger and healthier.
✨ Feel confident knowing your wellness plan supports every part of you — inside and out.

Constipation with tirzepatide or semaglutide?
Let’s talk about one of the most common (and least fun) GLP-1 side effects — constipation.
If you’re taking semaglutide or tirzepatide, your digestive system naturally slows down as your body adjusts. The good news? You can get things moving again with a few simple habits:
💧 Stay hydrated — water keeps everything flowing.
🌿 Add daily fiber — psyllium, Metamucil, or fiber gummies all help.
🏃♀️ Keep moving — even a short walk supports digestion.
💊 For extra support — try senna or Miralax, and if it’s still tough, magnesium citrate can help reset things.
Remember: constipation is common and temporary—a sign your body is adapting, not failing. If you’re feeling uncomfortable, we can help you fine-tune your plan.
✨ Progress should feel good inside and out.

Back to school isn’t just for the kids.
It’s the first quiet morning you’ve had in months.
The first deep breath. The first real moment to ask:
What about me?
If you’re feeling tired, heavy, foggy, or just off, you’re not alone.
After 40, our bodies change. Hormones shift. Stress builds. Sleep gets weird.
And weight? It doesn’t move the way it used to.
We get it. And we treat it differently.
At Flow Wellness, we take a root-cause approach to hormone and metabolic health because surface fixes don’t last.
This fall, make space for the version of you that feels vibrant, clear, and truly well.

Sometimes you’ve been feeling a certain way for so long… it starts to feel normal.
But deep down, you know something’s off.
Maybe it’s the brain fog. The endless to-do list you can’t seem to finish. The workouts that used to feel good but now feel impossible. The way joy feels just out of reach.
And then, the fog starts to lift.
You find yourself moving with ease again.
Finishing what you start.
Feeling clear.
Feeling you.
That kind of shift doesn’t come from a quick fix. It comes from looking deeper. From finding and treating the root of what’s really going on, not just putting a bandaid on symptoms that need real attention.
At Flow Wellness, we’re here for the version of you that’s been waiting to come back.
Welcome home.

Why do I pee when I laugh?” 😳
If that sounds familiar, or if you’ve had a little dribbling while bouncing on a trampoline, singing at a concert, or even just sneezing, you’re so not alone.
This isn’t just a “getting older” thing or something you have to live with. It’s often a sign that your estrogen is low, especially during perimenopause or postmenopause.
Low estrogen can lead to thinner, less elastic vaginal and urinary tissues, which affects bladder control. But here’s the good news: vaginal estrogen therapy is a low-dose, localized treatment that helps restore skin health, elasticity, and support to the tissues that help you stay dry and confident.
It’s safe, effective, and often life-changing.
Because yes, keeping your whole body healthy includes your vagina.
Contact us today to learn more if low dose estrogen is right for you.

Testosterone isn’t just for men, women need it too.
If you’ve been feeling like something’s off, it could be low testosterone. For women, optimized testosterone levels can help:
Improve sexual function and libido
Increase energy and stamina
Support healthy weight management
Strengthen bones and muscle tone
Boost mood and mental clarity
In short, it can help you feel more like you again.
If this sounds like something you’re experiencing, we’re here to help. At Flow Wellness, we take your symptoms seriously and personalize care based on your goals and lifestyle.

Feeling off lately? It could be your testosterone.
As men age, testosterone levels naturally decline and that shift can quietly impact almost every system in your body.
You might notice:
Slower recovery after workouts
Decreased muscle mass and strength
Lower energy and motivation
Reduced sexual function
Loss of bone density
Just not feeling like yourself
Testosterone plays a key role in how your body burns energy, builds strength, supports mental focus, and maintains overall vitality.
This isn’t just “getting older.” It’s something you can address and Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) may be part of the solution.
TRT is a medically guided treatment that restores testosterone to healthy levels, often helping men regain energy, clarity, confidence, and drive. At Flow Wellness, we take it further, combining TRT with a full-body, root-cause approach that supports your sleep, stress, gut health, and overall wellness.
