About County NP

After having my last two children and reaching 255 lbs, I knew my body and life were changing in ways that were hard to accept. Even before my pregnancies, I had been gaining weight due to stress, compounded by thyroid disease, which I’ve been managing for over 20 years. Following partial thyroid removal, I’ve been on lifelong medication to balance my thyroid levels, yet weight loss still felt impossible. Despite trying every diet and exercise program, I found myself at 237 lbs as a nurse practitioner—frustrated and emotionally drained.

What I hadn’t fully understood at the time was how deeply my thyroid issues, stress, and constant hunger were affecting my ability to shed the weight. I felt defeated. I obsessed over food, calories, and weight loss plans, but nothing seemed to work. Every step felt like an uphill battle, and I couldn’t understand why I wasn’t losing weight like I had before.

Then, last year, I decided to take control in a new way. I couldn’t afford the $1,000/month treatments offered by pharmacies, but I discovered compounded medications that were both affordable and effective. After researching and validating the products, I took the leap and started seeing real results. Today, I’m down to 170 lbs, with a goal to lose 100 lbs total while focusing on strength and conditioning. I feel a freedom I hadn’t experienced in years—I can move again, breathe easily, and bend without pain.

I didn’t just lose weight; I gained control of my life, my health, and my happiness. This journey taught me that weight loss isn’t just about the physical—it’s about mental and emotional well-being, too. And I want to help my patients find that same opportunity. I know firsthand how challenging it can be, especially with underlying conditions like thyroid disease, but you don’t have to face it alone.

If you’re struggling, let’s talk. I’ve been there, and I believe you deserve the same opportunity to feel healthy, strong, and in control of your life. Together, we can find a path forward that works for you, just like I found mine. You deserve to live a life where you love yourself and feel empowered in your body!
