Finding the Balance with Loni and Christine
Loni and Christine are physician assistants (PA) with backgrounds in Emergency Medicine and Primary Care who currently work as professors in higher education. Loni, seeing the end of the wellness line in the ER, and Christine, trying to prevent it in the office, have joined forces in discussing the topics of disease prevention and what it means to be well. Far beyond the bounds of a medical office, we are passionate about improving health literacy and increasing awareness of the daily changes we can make to maximize the quality of our lives. Finding the balance between the "coulds," "shoulds," and "woulds" of life is a quest worth embarking on. We do not have all the answers, but life is about the journey, and we look forward to sharing ours with you.

We explore the science behind GLP-1 medications, their impact on metabolic health, and their growing popularity beyond diabetes treatment. However, it's not all smooth sailing; side effects, accessibility, and long-term outcomes are part of the conversation, too.
