What I love about being a Nurse Practitioner/ Philosophy of Care
I love the need to continually learn and the opportunity to use my knowledge to serve individuals looking for answers to their health problems. My patients challenge me. I like to find the cause of problems a patient has rather than treat symptoms with a band aid. I enjoy de-prescribing medications when appropriate and simplifying medical treatment. I subscribe to the Whole Person Theory by Anna Vaughn. I don’t see my patients as a disease to be treated (i.e. just a physical body), but persons with a heart and soul whose health is shaped by the well being of their bodies, as well as their relationship with their self, others and God.
Hobbies: Anna lives in Colorado and loves the Rocky Mountains. She enjoys spending time with her daughters; pursuing business growth; reading, writing, hiking, swimming and baking

Medication Options
The Right Medication for You — Not the Only One We Offer
Your provider reviews your history, prior treatments, and goals, then recommends a medication class instead of defaulting to one drug for everyone.
GLP-1 medications
Medications like semaglutide that support appetite regulation and steady, sustainable weight loss.
GIP / dual-agonist medications
Medications like tirzepatide, combining GIP and GLP-1 action for patients who may benefit from a dual approach.
Non-GLP-1 options
For patients who can't tolerate or would prefer not to use a GLP-1, we offer alternative medical weight loss approaches.
Flexible on How You Fill It
- Insurance and retail pharmacy: we submit and manage prior authorizations so you're not stuck on hold with your insurer.
- Cash pay: access to Lilly Direct's self-pay discount program if you're paying out of pocket.
- Compounded options: we work only with reputable, licensed compounding pharmacies, with optional additions like B12, B6, glycine, or L-carnitine built into your compound.
Comprehensive Care — Four Optional Layers
Some patients want medication to lose weight and nothing else. Others want to understand what's happening below the surface. We build a complete plan around your goals — every layer below is optional, and none of it is required to start.
Option 1 — Medication Only
Start your plan with medication alone. If you have recent labs from a previous provider, we'll review those as part of your care.
Option 2 — Metabolic Labs
We order metabolic labs so you have a clear baseline — and can compare where you started to where you are at the 6-month mark.
Option 3 — Hormone Optimization (Simultaneous or After 6 Months)
We evaluate and optimize hormones to treat an underlying layer of weight gain. This improves your overall health and makes maintaining your results much easier.
Option 4 — Nutritional Labs (Simultaneous or After 6 Months)
Since hormones are built from micronutrients, this peels back an even deeper layer — taking your health further and making maintenance easier still.
Your Plan — The Journey
A Real 6-month Plan, Then Quarterly Care to Keep It
01 — Months 1–6: Active Care
Regular visits with your provider, medication started and titrated, metabolic labs ordered and reviewed, and your plan adjusted as you go — on your schedule of booked visits, on-demand chat, or both.
02 — Quarterly Check-ins After That
Once you're established, care shifts to a quarterly rhythm — checking labs, reviewing your medication and dose, and making sure your results hold.
03 — Support in Between, Any Time
Quarterly doesn't mean out of reach. On-demand chat visits are there whenever you need your care team between check-ins.

FAQs
Struggling with weight is hard—physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Everyone’s journey shares common threads with others, yet each person’s experience is also uniquely personal. When I was in high school, nutrition labels started appearing on food packaging, and the “fat-free” craze took off. So I adopted this way of eating. As an avid competitive swimmer, I was eager to “be healthy.” Looking back, I realize that was probably the worst diet advice I could have received.
I was tall, thin, athletic, with a super-fast metabolism and high metabolic needs, yet I also had a sensitive stomach. Adopting the fat-free diet left me hungry all the time, bloated, suffering from blood sugar swings, and preoccupied with food. But I didn’t understand why. I didn’t realize it was the result of this “new way” of eating. This diet was widely adopted and accepted, and I was too young to see the bigger picture or connect the dots. This struggle lasted for years.
I developed an unhealthy relationship with food that plagued me despite my efforts to mend it. My relationship with my body and nutrition suffered. I felt like my body was unpredictable, and I didn’t know how to meet its needs. Public nutrition advice only made things worse—it seemed contradictory and unhelpful, leaving me even more confused. It wasn’t until around 2017–2018 that I came across what was then considered “radical” advice: that fat was actually good, and carbohydrates might be the cause of many of my dietary troubles.
Over the next few years, I adopted a high-fat, low-carb diet. My body began to heal, my mood swings dramatically improved, and I developed a much calmer, healthier relationship with food. My blood sugar levels stabilized, and for the first time, I could perceive what my body truly needed.
While this story is simplified, it reflects some of the struggles I’ve faced over the years with eating, choosing a diet, and caring for my body. I haven’t arrived at a perfect solution, and I still face my own health issues, but I have come a long way. These decades of difficulty and heartache have fostered deep compassion in me for those who struggle with food, weight, and diet—whether overweight, underweight, or somewhere in between.
