🎶🎤 What song/band is this from? “You spin me like a record baby, right round, round round…”. If I get braver I’ll actually try to sing these!

I’ve lost 13 pounds in the least 3.5 weeks! This is Part 4 of our Insulin Resistance series! 🎥✨

Join me on this journey. I’ve eliminated most all carbohydrates and am limiting myself to less than 15 grams per day by focusing on lean protein and healthy fats. The first week was challenging but I’m no longer craving unhealthy food and I’m not as hungry as you’d think because I eat a TON of protein!

Aside from the weight loss I feel incredible and I have a strong feeling it is because I don’t have nearly the amount of sugar and inflammation in my body. Join me!

Business ownership takes an emotional, physical, and personal toll. There are certainly rewards, but entrepreneurship is not for the faint of heart. The stress of finances, staffing, decision-making, and constant industry changes has a way of following you home and keeping you up at night.

But one of the personal costs I’ve felt the most over this past year is missing little moments like this.

It had been close to a year since I was last able to take my daughter to one of her weekly horse lessons. Much of that time has been spent building out our new pharmacy in Anacortes, and while I believe deeply in what we are creating, it has come with sacrifice.

This wonderful little soul absolutely loves horses. I find them majestic, but I’ll admit, they intimidate me. They are large, powerful animals, and I am in awe watching her climb up, take the reins, and learn to guide them.

I know she is at least a little scared. But what makes me so proud is that she faces that fear and does it anyway. She is learning something that many adults are still working on: courage isn’t the absence of fear. It is doing what needs to be done even when fear is present.

Every time she finishes a lesson, she walks away with a little more confidence, a little more independence, and a little more pep in her step. I am so thankful we can give her this opportunity to grow into a strong, capable young woman.
I was incredibly grateful to be there this past week and see it again for myself. I hope that sometime soon, I can make it a regular part of my week again.

I know we are building something beautiful in Anacortes. I know the hard work matters. But I am also very aware of the toll that building something can take on you and the people you love most.

So if you know a business owner who makes it look easy, remember they may be like the proverbial duck on the pond: calm and unflappable above the surface, but paddling like crazy underneath just to keep moving forward.

Next time you see a business owner, give them a pat on the back. Chances are, they could use it.

Just a reminder that the pharmacies are closed today, but coffee is still rocking!

🌊 We’re hiring a part-time pharmacist! ⚕️
Schaffner Pharmacy & Compounding in Anacortes is looking for a pharmacist to join our growing team.
Compounding experience is preferred, but not required. More importantly, we’re looking for someone who is curious, patient-focused, and interested in learning more about personalized medicine, hormone replacement therapy, dermatology, veterinary compounding, pain management, and other areas of custom pharmacy care.
This is a unique opportunity to practice pharmacy at the top of your license, spend meaningful time solving patient problems, and make a tremendous impact in the community — all in a more relaxed, supportive, independent pharmacy environment.
If you’re a pharmacist who wants to do more than simply check prescriptions, we’d love to hear from you.

Part 4!! What can we do to improve insulin resistance? 🤔
There’s no single magic fix, but there are several powerful levers we can pull:
💪 Build or preserve muscle
🚶‍♂️ Move after meals
⚖️ Reduce excess body fat, especially visceral fat
🥩 Prioritize protein, fiber, and whole foods
🥖 Reduce refined carbs and added sugar
😴 Improve sleep and manage stress
There are also tools that may help some people:
🌿 Berberine — a supplement with some evidence for helping lower blood sugar, but it can interact with medications and is not risk-free.
💊 Metformin — a prescription medication that has been used for decades and helps reduce excess glucose production from the liver.
Insulin resistance usually develops over time — and improving it usually takes consistent changes over time too.
Lifestyle is the foundation, but supplements and medications may have a role when used safely and appropriately.
Soon I’ll start sharing what I’m seeing on my own CGM and what changes I’m personally trying. 📈
