What Are the Risks and Side Effects of Using Semaglutide or Tirzapetide?
Some people experience gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, constipation, diarrhea, vomiting, or abdominal pain. If experienced, symptoms generally improve over time.

What Is the Best Form of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)?

Bio-identical hormones are made from plants and are identical to the hormones your body naturally makes. Connected Care NP prefers bio-identical formulations for this reason.

Yes, both medications have been extensively clinically tested and shown to be safe and effective for weight loss. However, both require close medical observation to ensure it's the right fit for you.
Are Compounded Medications Safe?
Compounded medications are customized according to the prescriber's instructions. Connected Care NP partners with FDA-registered, state licensed pharmacies that comply with USP standards for sterile compounding.
What Is Direct Primary Care?
A model of health care delivery that eliminates the middleman. This model charges a set monthly, quarterly, or annual fee. This fee covers most primary care services, including clinical services, consultative services, care coordination, and comprehensive care management. This model allows the medical provider to care for the whole person while reducing disincentives associated with fee-for-service third-party-payer billing and instead focus on wellness.
