Life IV Weight Loss

02/26/2026

✨ Team Spotlight: Sherrie L. ✨

Sherrie has been part of the Life IV family almost since the very beginning! Joining our team in July 2023, just months after we opened our doors in January 2023, she has truly been here through our growth and evolution. 💛

As our Housekeeping superstar, Sherrie holds an incredibly high standard of cleanliness throughout our offices. Because of her dedication and consistency, our patients and team walk into a space every day that feels fresh, safe, and welcoming.

She’s also always willing to jump in and lend a hand wherever she’s needed. That team-first attitude and reliability are a big part of what has helped shape the culture at Life IV from early on.

Sherrie genuinely enjoys working at Life IV and connecting with our team, providers, and patients — and we’re so grateful for the care she pours into our space and our people.

Outside of work, she loves spending time babysitting her grandson — a role she absolutely cherishes. 💙

We are so thankful you’ve been with us almost since day one, Sherrie!

They say medical weight loss providers “just push meds.” 👀

Let’s clear that up.

Obesity is a chronic disease — not a willpower problem. And while medications like GLP-1s can be powerful tools, they’re just ONE part of a complete, evidence-based program that includes nutrition, calorie awareness, accountability, and medical supervision. 💪

So when do medications become first-line treatment?
✔️ When BMI criteria are met
✔️ When health risks are rising
✔️ When science shows they work better than lifestyle alone

That’s not “pushing meds.”
That’s practicing modern medicine. 🩺

If you’ve ever wondered whether medical weight loss is more than just shots… this one’s for you.

A happier, healthier you is just a consultation away. 💙

Think medical weight loss just pushes meds? Learn when and why medications become first-line treatment, backed by science and expert care.

She believes weight loss is more than just numbers on a scale — it’s about encouragement, accountability, and real relationships.

Patients have been raving about her warmth, positivity, and genuine care. And when you visit the office, you’ll probably hear her infectious laugh echoing down the hallway before you even see her! 😊

🔥 “Your metabolism is broken.”

If you’ve been on TikTok lately, you’ve probably heard that phrase more times than you can count.

But here’s the truth 👇

Yes, metabolism can adapt.
Yes, medical conditions can affect it.
But a truly “broken” metabolism is FAR more serious than just struggling to lose weight.

Most of the time, it’s not a damaged body…
It’s a strategy problem — not a metabolism problem.

Before you spend money on a “metabolism reset” tea, detox, or influencer program, read this 👇

We break down:
✅ What metabolism actually is
✅ When medical issues should be considered
✅ Why “starvation mode” is misunderstood
✅ What actually works to break a plateau

No fear-mongering. Just real, clinical truth.

A happier, healthier you is just a consultation away 💚

Social media says your metabolism is broken. Here’s the truth about metabolism, weight loss, and what’s really holding you back.

🚨 MYTH: GLP-1 medications are “too new” or “dangerous.”
✅ FACT: They’ve been used in clinical medicine for nearly 20 years.

GLP-1 medications didn’t just appear overnight — they’ve been studied, prescribed, and refined since 2005. What’s new is the attention, not the science.

If you’ve been hesitant because of something you heard online, this one’s worth the read 👇

Science > fear. Always.
