Introduction
Getting healthy can be hard work and bewildering. The mission of The Practitioner’s Pen is both to guide you to health and wellness so that you feel better and to make it fun. With over ten years of experience in primary care, Kimberly Stephens, MSN FNP-BC APRN, brings her expertise to address your personal needs. Every person is unique, and care should be too. The Practitioner’s Pen has partnered with 502 Health to deliver telehealth services for testosterone replacement therapy and weight loss for men and women. By partnering with Sesame, we can offer primary care as well. All services are provided via telehealth, therefore you can see your medical provider when convenient for your schedule. You meet one-on-one with Kim for all your medical visits using video and audio on a smartphone or computer.
Helping people feel better is our duty
Going to the doctor can be confusing, intimidating, and leave you with more questions than answers. We cut through the medical confusion and simplify what you can do to be healthier and feel better. Explaining and educating are the foundation of partnering with The Practitioner’s Pen for your health. The more you understand, the less stressful your health will be. We break down the information so that everyone understands their health, medication, diagnoses, as well as what they can do to help themselves. You will feel empowered and in control of your health and well-being, which will take away worry and stress. Life is too short to be miserable or not feel like yourself. Let’s change that.
Testosterone Replacement Therapy
Men and women naturally make the hormone testosterone. These levels decrease with age, stress, and eating certain foods. When these levels are low, symptoms you feel include fatigue, joint pain, weight gain, lack of interest, loss of muscle mass, and generally a feeling of “not yourself” sets in. Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is a way to reverse this. By prescribing correctly, none of the negative side-effects you may have heard about will happen. After starting TRT, Kim’s hundreds of clients report that their lives are 180 degrees different. TRT is part of the mission of The Practitioner’s Pen to help people feel better.
Weight Loss Solutions
The statement, “We are what we eat,” is true. What we eat causes or worsens about 90% of the medical conditions and issues people deal with daily. We all love food. However, there is a way to enjoy the food we love but still lose and maintain a healthy weight. Medications are tools that can help, although they only work with food changes. There is a way to get to the weight you want that is easy and fun, while not having to eat like a rabbit, I promise. Food and our weight is the foundation of our health. The weight loss program offered by The Practitioner’s Pen serves its mission by helping you achieve health and wellness to feel better using our safe, low-cost alternative medications.
Primary Care
The heart of Kim’s practice has always been primary care. Understanding the multiple parts of each patient’s medical and personal history helps create a true partnership. Part of our mission is to help you be in control of your body and your health and reach your wellness goals.
Medications are Tools
Medicine tries to fix everything by adding a pill or medication. Most people are on more medications that they need, although some may be required. Sometimes, all those medications are making people feel worse than the condition they are treating. By gaining knowledge about how to improve health, it is possible to get off many medications. Kim focuses every interaction on sharing this knowledge and guiding you through diagnoses, medications, and the changes that will help decrease medication use and help you feel better.
Our responsibility is to get you feeling better together
The Practitioner’s Pen offers customized personal weight loss and testosterone replacement therapy for men and women. Insurance does not usually cover these services. Many medical providers do not understand TRT and do not prescribe it. When they have them in stock, pharmacies can charge high prices for weight loss medication. We remove these roadblocks and provide these services on a monthly subscription plan that makes it easy to budget. No surprises and no interruption to treatment because a medication is out of stock. Primary care services are available at an affordable flat rate per visit for those without insurance or who prefer to pay out of pocket. We have partnered with 502 Health and Sesame to provide these telehealth services.
