What makes Dynamic NP Functional Wellness different?

I don’t believe in quick fixes or one-size-fits-all programs. As a board-certified Nurse Practitioner trained in functional and metabolic medicine, I use advanced labs to identify insulin resistance, inflammation, and hormone imbalances — and create a personalized plan to help you lose weight, balance hormones, and prevent chronic disease long-term.

 

Do you accept insurance?

At this time, Dynamic NP Functional Wellness is a self-pay practice. This allows me to spend more time with you, offer advanced testing, and provide highly personalized care that traditional insurance-based practices often cannot. Some labs or prescriptions may still be covered by your insurance.

 

Do you offer telehealth?

Yes. All visits are conducted virtually, and I currently serve patients in Pennsylvania and Delaware. You can receive expert hormone and metabolic care from the comfort of your home.

 

Are GLP-1 medications safe?

When prescribed and monitored appropriately, GLP-1 medications such as semaglutide and tirzepatide are safe and highly effective. Beyond weight loss, they help improve insulin resistance, reduce inflammation, lower A1c, and decrease the risk of chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease.

 

Will I regain the weight after stopping GLP-1s?

Not when done correctly. My programs focus on healing insulin resistance, improving metabolism, optimizing hormones, and building sustainable habits — so your results last even after medication is reduced or discontinued.

 

Do you treat pre-diabetes and insulin resistance?

Absolutely. This is one of my specialties. Many patients come to me with “normal” labs but underlying insulin resistance and inflammation. We address this early to prevent progression to diabetes and long-term complications.

 

Do you offer hormone replacement therapy (HRT)?

Yes. I specialize in bioidentical hormone optimization for women in perimenopause and menopause, as well as testosterone optimization when appropriate. Balancing hormones often improves weight loss, sleep, mood, libido, and energy.

 

What kind of labs do you order?

Depending on your goals, I may order metabolic labs, insulin markers, A1c, lipid panels, thyroid labs, vitamin levels, inflammatory markers, and comprehensive hormone testing to uncover the true root cause of your symptoms.

 

How quickly will I see results?

Many patients notice reduced cravings, improved energy, and better blood sugar control within the first few weeks. Weight loss and hormone improvements typically continue steadily over the first 8–12 weeks.

 

Do you provide supplements?

Yes. I recommend high-quality, clinically proven supplements to support metabolism, insulin sensitivity, inflammation, gut health, and hormone balance — only when they are truly needed.
