At Coronado Health Direct Primary Care, your health, comfort, and peace of mind always guide us. That’s why we are excited to now offer self-collection vaginal sample testing for high-risk HPV (human papillomavirus). This means you can collect the sample yourself—privately, comfortably, with dignity, and in a setting you trust—without needing the traditional pelvic exam to begin cervical cancer screening.

Here’s everything you need to know about this service, why it matters, and why we’re proud to offer it to our patients.

Understanding HPV and Cervical Cancer Risk

• HPV is common, especially among sexually active individuals; most people will be exposed to it in their lifetime. While most infections clear on their own, certain high-risk types of HPV (like types 16, 18, 31, etc.) are strongly linked to cervical cancer. womens-health-solutions.bd.com
  
• Detecting these high-risk HPV types early gives us a powerful way to prevent cervical cancer, by identifying changes before they develop into something more serious.
  

What Is Self-Collection HPV Testing?

• Self-collection means you gently collect a vaginal sample, in the privacy of a room, using a swab provided by our clinic.
  
• This sample is then analyzed using the BD Onclarity™ HPV Assay, an FDA-approved test designed to detect high-risk HPV types—and it’s the first FDA-approved test with extended genotyping that allows for self-collection in a healthcare setting. womens-health-solutions.bd.com
  
• Extended genotyping means the test doesn’t just say “yes/no” for HPV; it can specify which high-risk types are present, allowing for more precise risk assessment and follow-up recommendations. womens-health-solutions.bd.com
  

Why This Matters

1. Comparable Accuracy to Clinician-Collected Samples

• Research shows self-collected vaginal samples are as accurate as those collected by clinicians when using sensitive HPV assays like BD Onclarity™.
  
• This means you don’t lose effectiveness in screening by choosing self-collection.
  

2. More Comfortable, Less Invasive

• The traditional method requires a speculum exam; many patients find it uncomfortable, embarrassing, or anxiety-inducing.
  
• With self-collection, you avoid the speculum, reducing discomfort and psychological stress while still getting the screening you need.
  

3. Empowers Choice and Control

• Self-collection gives you more control over your care. You know your body best, and this method lets you participate actively in screening in a way that suits you.
  
• Studies report that patients appreciate privacy, autonomy, and convenience when offered self-collection options. PMC+1
  

4. More Accessible, Especially for Underserved Groups

• Around 1 in 4 eligible women in the U.S. are not up to date with cervical cancer screening, often due to barriers such as limited clinic access, transportation, or past negative experiences.
  
• Self-collection in a healthcare setting (like our clinic, a mobile unit, or a pharmacy) lowers logistical, cultural, and emotional barriers and expands access—especially for underserved, rural, or minority populations. CDC+1
  
• Communities facing higher rates of cervical cancer, including Black, Hispanic, and American Indian women, may especially benefit from this option.
  

How It Works with Coronado Health DPC

1. At Your Visit
   When you come in for your well-woman exam or anytime you’re due for cervical cancer screening, we’ll offer self-collection as an option.
   
2. Private, Supported Collection
   You’ll receive instructions and the self-collection kit. You can go to the bathroom and collect the sample yourself. If you have questions, our staff will be ready to help.
   
3. Accurate Testing with Extended Genotyping
   The sample is sent to a lab using the BD Onclarity™ HPV Assay, which will tell us if any high-risk HPV types are detected and specify which ones—giving us the most detailed, actionable information available.
   
4. Follow-Up as Needed
   If results are negative, we’ll guide you on when the next screening is due, based on current guidelines. If results are positive, especially for high-risk genotypes, we’ll recommend appropriate next steps tailored to your results.
   

Why We Chose to Offer This Now

• FDA Approval: In May 2024, the FDA approved vaginal self-collection with BD Onclarity™ in healthcare settings—making it a legitimate, regulated, and approved method. womens-health-solutions.bd.com
  
• Public Health Momentum: Major health organizations and guidelines—including the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and American Cancer Society—recognize the importance of HPV testing for cervical cancer prevention. Self-collection increases reach and effectiveness. Prevent Cancer Foundation+1
  

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is self-collection less accurate than clinician-collected samples?
No. When done with sensitive assays like BD Onclarity™, self-collection in a healthcare setting is comparably accurate for detecting high-risk HPV types. womens-health-solutions.bd.com+1

Q: Is this just at home?
Currently, the self-collection option is only approved in healthcare settings—so you’ll collect the sample here, under guidance or privacy, but not at home. Future developments may expand access further. Prevent Cancer Foundation+1

Q: Could I still get a Pap smear instead?
Absolutely. Self-collection is an alternative—not a replacement—for traditional methods. Depending on your risk factors and preferences, we can perform Pap, HPV co-testing, or self-collection.

Q: What if I get a positive result?
A positive high-risk HPV result does not mean you have cancer. It means we need to monitor more closely or perform further evaluation, like colposcopy. We’ll guide you through every step.

Q: Is this covered by insurance?
Because HPV primary testing is part of current screening recommendations, this test is generally covered by insurance when done as part of cervical cancer screening. If you don’t have insurance, the self-pay rate of the test is just $100.

Final Thoughts

Cervical cancer is largely preventable when we screen early and consistently. Self-collection HPV testing gives you a more private, less invasive, and equally accurate option to take control of your reproductive health.

At Coronado Health Direct Primary Care, we believe in care that adapts to you—your comfort, your needs, and your life. If you’ve been delaying screening, avoid pelvic exams, or have faced obstacles, self-collection might be a great way to get back on track.

A Milestone in Liver Health by Coronado Health Direct Primary Care

Wegovy® (semaglutide), originally recognized for its roles in weight loss and cardiovascular benefits, has just been FDA-approved to treat metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), a serious form of fatty liver disease. This new indication broadens the therapeutic horizons for patients suffering from MASH with moderate-to-advanced liver fibrosis. At Coronado Health Direct Primary Care, we’re here to explain what this means for patients, healthcare providers, and the evolving landscape of metabolic and liver disease management.

Understanding MASH: A Growing Health Concern

MASH (formerly known as NASH) stands for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis, a condition where fat buildup in the liver leads to inflammation and progressive scarring (fibrosis). This disease affects millions of Americans and can result in serious outcomes like cirrhosis, liver cancer, or the need for a liver transplant as it advances. https://www.statnews.com/2025/08/15/wegovy-mash-novo-nordisk 

FDA Approval: What’s New for Wegovy®

On August 15, 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted accelerated approval to Wegovy® (semaglutide 2.4 mg injection) for treating adults with noncirrhotic MASH and moderate-to-advanced liver fibrosis (stages F2–F3). https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/wegovy-approved-by-fda-for-the-treatment-of-adults-with-noncirrhotic-mash-with-moderate-to-advanced-liver-fibrosis-302531394.html

This approval is based on compelling Phase 3 ESSENCE trial data. Results showed that 63% of patients treated with Wegovy achieved resolution of steatohepatitis without worsening fibrosis, compared to 34% in the placebo group—a statistically significant difference of 29% (95% CI, 21–36). The FDA has indicated that continued approval will depend on the results of confirmatory trials. https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2025/215256s024lbl.pdf 

Why This Matters: Benefits of Wegovy for Liver Disease

First GLP-1 Agent Approved for MASH

Wegovy is now the only glucagon-like peptide‑1 (GLP‑1) receptor agonist FDA-approved for treating moderate-to-advanced liver fibrosis in MASH patients.

Dual Benefit: Liver Health + Metabolic Effects

Unlike the earlier MASH treatment, Rezdiffra (resmetirom), which focuses solely on liver fat and damage, Wegovy offers broader metabolic benefits. It promotes substantial weight loss, improves insulin sensitivity, and may reduce cardiovascular risk—all while addressing liver disease.

Accelerated Access for Patients

Accelerated approval enables patients to access this powerful therapy sooner, though long-term clinical benefit must still be confirmed.

Clinical Insight: The ESSENCE Trial Highlights

The ESSENCE trial, pivotal for Wegovy’s new indication, involved once-weekly injections of semaglutide (2.4 mg) over 72 weeks. Key findings include:

• 63% achieved MASH resolution without fibrosis worsening.
  
• 29% absolute improvement over placebo (no further decline in liver health).
  
• Patient group: adults with MASH and moderate-to-advanced fibrosis—not including cirrhosis.
  

These results are already shaping how clinicians approach MASH treatment strategies.

Clinical Implications & Patient Guidance at Coronado Health DPC

Patient Eligibility & Evaluation

• Ideal candidates: Adults diagnosed with noncirrhotic MASH and F2–F3 fibrosis.
  
• Not eligible: Patients with cirrhosis or those on other GLP‑1 therapies in combination with Wegovy, due to risk of crossing mechanisms.
  

Integrating Wegovy Into Care Plans

• Lifestyle remains paramount: Wegovy must be paired with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
  
• Continue routine monitoring: Watch for potential adverse effects and track liver function and fibrosis progression.
  

Managing Expectations

• Long-term study pending: Final confirmation trials are ongoing; full regulatory approval hinges on long-term outcomes.
  
• Patient counseling: Set realistic expectations around outcomes and reinforce sustained lifestyle adherence.
  

Looking Ahead: Future Directions in MASH Care

Ongoing Confirmatory Trials

Long-term outcomes are under review to verify Wegovy’s clinical benefit and solidify its approval status.

Exploring Combination Therapies

Emerging research may evaluate Wegovy alongside liver-specific agents like Rezdiffra for additive benefits in MASH management.

Expanding Access & Coverage

With its expanded indication, insurance coverage, including Medicare, may shift to support use beyond weight management—potentially increasing access for MASH patients.

At Coronado Health Direct Primary Care, we’re thrilled to bring this vital update to our patients and peers: Wegovy® is now FDA-approved for treating noncirrhotic MASH with moderate-to-advanced fibrosis—a critical expansion of its therapeutic role. This development offers patients a chance not only to alleviate progressive liver disease but also to pursue meaningful metabolic improvements under the guidance of primary care.

If you’d like to discuss how Wegovy may fit into your treatment plan or want help exploring the implications of this approval, our team is ready to assist. Contact Coronado Health DPC today for expert care, clarity, and the latest in metabolic and liver health.

By Coronado Health Direct Primary Care

Every year, flu season arrives and reminds us of the importance of staying proactive with our health. The influenza virus spreads quickly and can lead to serious illness, missed workdays, and even hospitalizations. One of the simplest and most effective ways to protect yourself and your loved ones is by getting a flu shot. But the common question remains: when is the best time to get vaccinated?

Why Timing Matters

The flu shot is designed to protect you against the strains of influenza expected to circulate during the season. Once you receive the vaccine, it takes about two weeks for your body to develop protective antibodies. That means timing your shot correctly ensures you are fully protected when flu activity peaks.

Flu season in the United States typically begins in October, increases through the winter, and can last as late as May. The height of flu activity often occurs between December and February. By getting your shot before the season ramps up, you give your body the time it needs to build immunity before flu viruses are widespread.

The Ideal Time to Get Vaccinated

Health experts recommend getting your flu shot by the end of October. Vaccinating early in the fall helps you get ahead of the virus and ensures strong protection during the busiest months of flu season. However, if you miss this window, it is still valuable to get vaccinated later. Even receiving the vaccine in January or February can offer important protection, especially since the season can linger into the spring.

Who Should Get the Flu Shot

Almost everyone over the age of six months is encouraged to receive a flu shot each year. It is especially important for people who are at higher risk of complications, including:

• Adults 65 and older
  
• Young children
  
• Pregnant women
  
• Individuals with chronic health conditions such as asthma, diabetes, or heart disease
  
• Caregivers and healthcare workers who may be exposed to flu viruses frequently
  

By getting vaccinated, not only do you protect yourself, but you also help reduce the spread of flu in your community. This is especially vital for protecting people who may be more vulnerable.

Common Concerns About the Flu Shot

Some people worry that the flu vaccine can cause the flu, but this is a common misconception. The flu shot uses an inactivated virus or a small protein from the virus, which cannot give you influenza. Side effects are usually mild and short-lived, such as soreness at the injection site, low-grade fever, or mild fatigue.

Another concern is whether the vaccine is effective if the flu strains change. While the vaccine may not be a perfect match every year, it still significantly reduces the severity of illness if you do catch the flu. That can make the difference between a mild sickness at home and a serious case requiring hospitalization.

Where to Get Your Flu Shot

Flu vaccines are widely available. At Coronado Health Direct Primary Care, we make it easy for our members to stay on top of preventive care, including flu shots. You can also find vaccines at pharmacies, clinics, and through community health programs. The key is to schedule your vaccination before flu season is in full swing.

Takeaway: Protect Yourself and Your Community

The flu shot is a simple step with big benefits. By getting vaccinated early in the season, ideally by the end of October, you help ensure your body is ready when flu activity spikes. If you miss that window, it is never too late. Protecting yourself means protecting your family, coworkers, and neighbors.

At Coronado Health Direct Primary Care, we are committed to keeping our community healthy year-round. Talk to us today about scheduling your flu shot and other preventive care services.

As a busy professional, it’s easy to put your health on the back burner. Between meetings, deadlines, and the constant juggling of personal and professional responsibilities, it can feel nearly impossible to find time for a doctor’s appointment. Traditional healthcare often adds to this burden, with long wait times, limited office hours, and complicated scheduling processes that make it difficult to prioritize your health.

Direct Primary Care (DPC) offers a solution that’s designed with busy professionals in mind. This innovative healthcare model is centered around patient convenience, personalized care, and flexibility. In this blog, I’ll explore why DPC is the ideal choice for professionals who need healthcare that fits their fast-paced lifestyles.

Flexible Hours for Your Busy Schedule

One of the biggest barriers to getting healthcare is finding the time to visit a doctor. Traditional healthcare practices often have strict office hours, typically during the workday, making it difficult to schedule appointments that don’t interfere with your job.

DPC, on the other hand, is built to offer flexible scheduling options. At Coronado Health, we understand that your time is valuable. That’s why we offer extended hours, including early mornings, evenings, and weekends, to accommodate your schedule. With more available appointment times, you won’t have to worry about taking time off from work or missing important meetings.

Minimal Wait Times for Appointments

For busy professionals, one of the most frustrating aspects of traditional healthcare is the waiting game. You schedule an appointment, only to sit in a crowded waiting room for 30 minutes or more before seeing the doctor. This can throw off your entire day and leave you feeling frustrated and stressed.

With DPC, wait times are significantly reduced. Because the patient load is lower, your doctor is able to dedicate more time to each patient and give you the attention you deserve. You won’t have to wait in long lines or crowded waiting rooms. At Coronado Health, we pride ourselves on respecting your time by offering shorter wait times and more personalized care during your visits.

Quick Responses and Easy Access to Your Doctor

When you need to ask a health question or get a prescription refilled, you don’t want to spend hours on hold or leave a message only to hear back days later. In the fast-paced world of business, quick responses are essential. DPC allows you to have direct access to your primary care doctor whenever you need it.

At Coronado Health, we make communication easy with text, email, and phone access to your doctor. If you have a question or concern, you can reach out and receive a timely response. This level of access means that you don’t have to wait for days to get answers, and you can keep your health on track without disruption to your professional life.

Same-Day Appointments for Urgent Issues

In the fast-moving world of work, urgent health issues can pop up unexpectedly. Whether it’s a sudden illness, a flare-up of a chronic condition, or an injury, waiting days for an appointment can be a major inconvenience. DPC offers the benefit of same-day appointments, allowing you to see your doctor right away when you need urgent care.

At Coronado Health, we prioritize your time and health by offering same-day appointments. This means that when something comes up, you don’t have to rearrange your entire week to fit in a visit. You can take care of your health without sacrificing your work commitments.

Preventive Care Focus to Keep You Healthy and Productive

In addition to providing convenient access to care, DPC places a strong emphasis on preventive health. When you’re a busy professional, it can be easy to focus only on treatment when something goes wrong, but preventive care is key to maintaining long-term health and productivity.

DPC doctors take the time to get to know you as an individual and create a personalized health plan that addresses your specific needs. This proactive approach helps prevent health issues from arising in the first place, ensuring that you stay in good health and remain at the top of your game professionally. Whether it’s annual screenings, wellness checks, or lifestyle counseling, DPC helps keep you healthy so that you can stay focused and productive at work.

A More Personal Relationship with Your Doctor

Another key benefit of DPC is the opportunity to build a stronger, more personal relationship with your doctor. In traditional healthcare models, you might see a different doctor each time you visit, and the focus is often on treating symptoms rather than addressing the root causes of health issues. DPC fosters a more collaborative relationship, where your doctor gets to know you, your health goals, and your unique lifestyle.

This continuity of care means that your doctor is better able to provide tailored health advice and preventative strategies that work for your specific needs. A doctor who understands your professional and personal life can offer better guidance to ensure your health supports your career success.

Affordable and Transparent Pricing

One common concern for professionals seeking healthcare is the cost. Traditional healthcare systems often involve high deductibles, co-pays, and unexpected bills that can be difficult to navigate. With DPC, the pricing is simple and transparent. There are no hidden fees or surprise costs. Instead, you pay a monthly membership fee, which covers a wide range of services, including office visits, lab work, and consultations.

For busy professionals, the fixed, predictable cost of DPC makes it easier to manage healthcare expenses without the stress of unexpected bills. This allows you to focus on your health and career without worrying about fluctuating medical costs.

Coronado Health Direct Primary Care is Henderson’s #1 Direct Primary Care Provider!

Direct Primary Care is an ideal healthcare model for busy professionals who need flexible hours, quick responses, and minimal wait times. With DPC, you can access personalized, high-quality care that fits seamlessly into your hectic lifestyle. Whether it’s same-day appointments, easy communication with your doctor, or a focus on preventive care, DPC is the solution that allows you to prioritize your health while staying productive at work.At Coronado Health, we’re dedicated to providing healthcare that works for you.

By Coronado Health Direct Primary Care

Coronado Health Direct Primary Care is excited to announce a better alternative to Cologuard for colorectal cancer screening—Shield. Developed by Guardant Health, Shield is an FDA‑approved blood test that detects colorectal cancer (CRC)‑derived cell‑free DNA in the bloodstream for average‑risk individuals aged forty‑five and older. This innovative test is designed to reduce barriers to screening, improve adherence, and help detect more cancers at an earlier stage. Read on to learn who should get screened for colon cancer, why screening matters, and how Shield compares to existing options.

Why colon cancer screening matters

Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer‑related death in the United States, claiming over fifty‑three thousand lives annually. The American Cancer Society estimates that more than one hundred fifty thousand new CRC cases will be diagnosed in 2024. Thankfully, when colon cancer is detected early, the five‑year relative survival rate reaches 91 percent, while it plummets to just 14 percent once the cancer spreads to distant organs.

Despite these statistics, only about 59 percent of eligible adults in the U.S. complete colorectal cancer screening. That leaves more than 50 million individuals without up‑to‑date screening, resulting in a deadly gap. Many decline colonoscopy because it can be invasive, time consuming, and requires preparation. Others dislike the process of handling stool samples for tests like Cologuard or FIT (fecal immunochemical test) Verywell Health. Screening is most effective when people actually complete it. As noted by Dr Howard Hochster, the best screening test is the one that gets done. 

Who should get colon cancer screening

General guidelines

Health bodies such as the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and the American Cancer Society recommend that individuals aged forty‑five and older at average risk for colorectal cancer undergo regular screening FDA Access Data. The typical screening options include:

• Colonoscopy every ten years
  
• Stool‑based tests such as FIT every year
  
• Stool DNA tests like Cologuard every three years
  

Average‑risk individuals

Average‑risk adults are those who:

• Have no personal or family history of colorectal cancer
  
• Do not have inflammatory bowel disease or genetic cancer syndromes
  
• Are not experiencing symptoms such as bleeding, abdominal pain, or changes in bowel habits.
  

Shield is approved for these average‑risk individuals aged forty‑five or older.

Who may need different screening

Other groups are considered higher risk and should follow a different screening plan:

• Personal history of CRC or polyps
  
• Inflammatory bowel disease such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn disease
  
• Family history of CRC or hereditary cancer syndromes
  
• Symptoms suggestive of CRC
  

Shield should not be used for these higher‑risk individuals. They may require diagnostic or surveillance colonoscopies instead.

What is Shield and how it works

Shield is a qualitative blood test that looks for cancer-associated fragments of cell‑free DNA (cfDNA) released into the bloodstream from colorectal tumors. Shield can be ordered during a routine primary care visit, with no need for preparation, fasting, or collecting stool samples. Early data from the randomized ECLIPSE trial of over twenty thousand people validated Shield’s performance.

Shield versus Cologuard and other options

Comparing sensitivities

• Colonoscopy: considered the gold standard, with highest sensitivity for both cancer and precancer
  
• Cologuard (stool DNA): 92 to 95 percent sensitivity
  
• Shield: 83 percent sensitivity for cancer, comparable to stool tests
  
• FIT: around 74 percent sensitivity
  
• Epi proColon (other blood test): about 50 percent sensitivity
  

Comfort and convenience

Shield offers clear advantages in comfort and convenience:

• No bowel prep needed
  
• No dietary restrictions
  
• No handling of stool
  
• Easily done during a routine blood draw
  
• Encourages higher adherence for those reluctant to undergo colonoscopy or stool tests
  

Limitations of Shield

Shield has lower sensitivity for early‑stage cancers and precancerous adenomas:

• 55‑65 percent detection of stage I cancer
  
• Only 13 percent detection of advanced adenomas
  

That means it cannot replace colonoscopy when prevention is the primary goal. Polyps are best detected and removed during colonoscopy. Shield is best considered complementary to colonoscopy: a more acceptable screening option for those avoiding traditional methods. But a positive result must be followed by colonoscopy.

Coverage and access

Shield is FDA approved as a primary CRC screening test for individuals aged forty‑five and older at average risk. It meets U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services coverage criteria.

• Medicare Fee‑for‑Service: shield is covered at zero out‑of‑pocket
  
• Medicare Advantage: copay or deductible may apply
  
• Veterans Affairs & TRICARE: covered
  
• Commercial insurance: insurers are expected to include Shield due to FDA approval

How Coronado Health Direct Primary Care integrates Shield

At Coronado Health, we want to make colon cancer screening as accessible, comfortable, and effective as possible:

1. Offer Shield at routine visits – simple blood draw during regular check‑ups
   
2. Identify ideal candidates – average‑risk adults age forty‑five and older
   
3. Provide education – explain how Shield works, benefits, and limitations
   
4. Facilitate follow‑up – ensure that patients with positive Shield results get timely colonoscopy
   
5. Track adherence – our data team monitors who completes screening and follows through
   

By integrating Shield, we help overcome the adherence gap and detect more cancers early—possibly saving lives.

Is Shield right for you?

Shield should be considered by individuals who:

• Are forty‑five years of age or older
  
• Are at average risk for colorectal cancer
  
• Prefer blood testing over colonoscopy or stool sampling
  
• Want a test with high sensitivity for cancer (83%) and excellent specificity (90%)
  

Shield may not be the best choice if you:

• Have a family or personal history of CRC or polyps
  
• Have inflammatory bowel disease or hereditary cancer risk
  
• Are experiencing symptoms like bleeding or abdominal pain
  
• Want maximal prevention through polyp detection
  

In these cases, colonoscopy remains the most effective option.

Next steps and recommendations

• Age forty‑five? Talk to us about Shield during your next visit
  
• Not up‑to‑date on screening? Shield offers a practical first step
  
• Positive Shield result? We will arrange a colonoscopy follow‑up
  
• Not eligible for Shield? We will guide you to appropriate screening like colonoscopy or Cologuard
  

Regular colorectal cancer screening is crucial. Shield provides a convenient, patient‑friendly option without sacrificing accuracy for cancer detection.

At Coronado Health Direct Primary Care, we are committed to helping our patients look and feel their best from the inside out. That is why we are thrilled to announce our new partnership with Image Skincare, a globally recognized skincare brand known for medical-grade, results-driven products. This partnership allows us to offer our patients access to some of the most advanced and effective skincare products on the market today—available right in our office.

Whether you are focused on prevention, correction, or supporting your skin during medical treatments such as GLP-1 weight loss therapy, we now carry several expertly formulated lines from Image Skincare to meet your needs. These include:

• Vital C: A hydrating antioxidant-rich Vitamin C line
  
• Daily Prevention: A broad-spectrum SPF sunscreen line
  
• Ageless +: A Retinol-powered line for resurfacing and firming
  
• Volulift: A revolutionary new product targeting volume loss due to GLP-1 medications
  

Let’s take a deeper look at what each line offers and why this addition is such an exciting development for our patients.

Why Skincare Matters in Primary Care

As a Direct Primary Care clinic, we offer personalized care that supports total wellness—not just illness management. That includes understanding the side effects of popular medical treatments like GLP-1 receptor agonists, which are used for weight loss and diabetes management.

While GLP-1 medications have revolutionized weight loss for many people, rapid fat loss can contribute to visible changes in skin elasticity and facial volume. This can include hollowing under the eyes, sagging, and a tired appearance. For patients who are thrilled with their weight loss but concerned about these aesthetic changes, we now offer skincare solutions that work with your medical journey—not against it.

Introducing Volulift: A Game-Changer for Patients on GLP-1s

Volulift by Image Skincare is one of the first topical products designed specifically to combat facial volume loss caused by GLP-1 medications. This innovative product helps restore fullness and firm skin while supporting collagen and muscle tone. It works by targeting two key factors:

1. Muscle Deflation: GLP-1s can affect facial muscles. Volulift includes peptides and plant stem cells to help strengthen and tone underlying tissue.
   
2. Collagen Depletion: Rapid weight loss often leads to sagging. Volulift stimulates collagen production and deeply hydrates to plump and lift the skin.
   

The result is visibly firmer, fuller, and more youthful-looking skin. Volulift is a must-have if you are on GLP-1s and want to protect your skin during your transformation.

This product is now available in-office at Coronado Health DPC, and we are already seeing incredible feedback from our patients.

Vital C: For Hydration, Redness, and Radiance

The Vital C line is one of Image Skincare’s most popular collections and for good reason. Packed with stabilized Vitamin C, this line is ideal for:

• Dry or dehydrated skin
  
• Rosacea or redness-prone skin
  
• Dull or uneven skin tone
  
• Post-procedure skin needing gentle care
  

Vitamin C is one of the most powerful antioxidants in skincare. It protects your skin from environmental damage, supports collagen production, and gives you that healthy glow. For patients in dry desert climates like Las Vegas or those with sensitive skin, Vital C delivers soothing hydration and lasting radiance.

Products in this line include cleansers, serums, hydrating masks, and rich moisturizers that calm and brighten skin from the very first use.

Daily Prevention: Your New Favorite Sunscreen

Sunscreen is not just a beach-day essential. It is one of the most important steps in your everyday skincare routine. Image Skincare’s Daily Prevention line offers next-level protection with broad-spectrum SPF formulas that also nourish your skin.

Key features of this line include:

• Lightweight, non-greasy formulas
  
• Tinted and untinted options
  
• Added antioxidants to fight free radicals
  
• Blue light protection from screens and devices
  

Whether you prefer a mineral sunscreen or a sheer moisturizer with SPF, we have options that make it easy to protect your skin from sun damage and premature aging.

And yes, they work beautifully under makeup.

Ageless +: Resurface, Firm, and Brighten

If you are ready to take your skincare to the next level, the Ageless + line features clinical-strength ingredients including Retinol, Glycolic Acid, and peptides that:

• Smooth fine lines and wrinkles
  
• Improve skin tone and texture
  
• Reduce signs of sun damage
  
• Stimulate collagen for firmer skin
  

This line is ideal for mature skin, but it is also a favorite for patients in their 30s and 40s who want to be proactive about aging. Retinol is one of the most researched anti-aging ingredients, and Image Skincare has created formulas that deliver visible results without excessive irritation.

Our team can help guide you through the best way to introduce Ageless + into your routine so that your skin adjusts comfortably and your results build over time.

Why We Chose Image Skincare

We only recommend products that we truly believe in and that align with our mission of holistic, patient-centered care. Image Skincare stood out to us for several reasons:

• Founded by a medical esthetician and formulated with input from physicians
  
• Clean clinical formulas with proven ingredients
  
• No parabens, phthalates, mineral oils, or artificial fragrances
  
• Cruelty-free and made in the USA
  
• Excellent results in both clinical studies and real-world patients
  

This is skincare you can feel good about using, and we are excited to bring it to our patients.

As summer temperatures rise across the Las Vegas valley, so does the risk of heat-related illnesses. While sunny days bring opportunities for outdoor fun and increased physical activity, they also pose serious health challenges if you are not properly prepared. At Coronado Health Direct Primary Care, we are committed to helping you and your family stay safe, healthy, and informed throughout the warmest months of the year.

In this blog, we will explore the signs of heat exhaustion, how it differs from heatstroke, the importance of hydration, and practical steps you can take to protect your body from overheating in the Nevada sun.

Understanding Heat Exhaustion

Heat exhaustion occurs when your body overheats due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures, especially when combined with physical activity and inadequate fluid intake. It is part of a spectrum of heat-related illnesses, starting with heat cramps and potentially progressing to heatstroke, which is a medical emergency.

Common Symptoms of Heat Exhaustion:

• Heavy sweating
  
• Cold, pale, or clammy skin
  
• Weakness or fatigue
  
• Dizziness or fainting
  
• Nausea or vomiting
  
• Muscle cramps
  
• Rapid pulse
  
• Headache
  

If left untreated, heat exhaustion can progress to heatstroke, which can damage the brain, heart, kidneys, and muscles. Heatstroke requires immediate medical attention.

Who Is at Risk?

While anyone can develop heat exhaustion, certain individuals are more vulnerable, including:

• Older adults (especially over age 65)
  
• Children and infants
  
• People with chronic illnesses (such as heart disease, diabetes, or obesity)
  
• Outdoor workers or athletes engaging in prolonged physical activity
  
• Those taking certain medications, including diuretics, beta-blockers, and antihistamines
  

Understanding your personal risk factors is a key part of staying well during the summer. Our team at Coronado Health Direct Primary Care can help you review your medications, chronic conditions, and lifestyle to make sure you are prepared.

What To Do If You Experience Heat Exhaustion

If you or someone near you is showing signs of heat exhaustion, it is important to act quickly:

1. Move to a cooler location – Get out of the sun and into a shaded or air-conditioned space.
   
2. Loosen clothing – Remove or loosen tight or heavy clothing.
   
3. Apply cool cloths – Place wet, cool cloths on the skin or take a cool shower or bath.
   
4. Hydrate – Sip water slowly. Avoid caffeine and alcohol, which can worsen dehydration.
   
5. Rest – Stop physical activity and allow the body to cool down.
   

If symptoms do not improve within an hour, or if they worsen, seek medical care immediately. Heat exhaustion can escalate quickly, and early intervention is key.

The Importance of Hydration

Staying hydrated is one of the most effective ways to prevent heat exhaustion. Your body depends on water to regulate temperature, remove waste, lubricate joints, and keep cells functioning.

During summer months, especially in desert climates like Henderson and Las Vegas, your body loses more water through sweat. Replacing that lost fluid is critical.

Signs of Dehydration:

• Thirst
  
• Dry mouth or lips
  
• Dark yellow urine or infrequent urination
  
• Fatigue
  
• Dizziness or confusion
  
• Headaches
  
• Dry skin
  

If you notice these symptoms, increase your fluid intake and rest in a cool environment.

How Much Water Do You Really Need?

While recommendations vary based on age, weight, activity level, and climate, a general rule of thumb is to aim for:

• Women: About 9 cups (2.2 liters) of fluids daily
  
• Men: About 13 cups (3 liters) of fluids daily
  

However, in extreme heat or with increased physical activity, you may need significantly more.

Pro tip: Do not wait until you are thirsty. By the time thirst kicks in, you may already be mildly dehydrated. Instead, sip water consistently throughout the day.

Hydration Tips That Work

1. Carry a water bottle with you everywhere. Make it a habit to sip regularly.
   
2. Flavor your water with lemon, cucumber, or mint to make it more appealing.
   
3. Eat water-rich foods like watermelon, cucumber, oranges, and strawberries.
   
4. Avoid sugary drinks, sodas, and energy drinks. These can dehydrate rather than hydrate.
   
5. Monitor urine color as a simple hydration gauge. Pale yellow means you are likely hydrated.
   

At Coronado Health, we encourage all our patients to make hydration a conscious daily habit—just like brushing your teeth or taking medications.

Sun Safety Beyond Hydration

In addition to drinking water, follow these steps to protect your body from overheating:

Time Your Activities

Plan outdoor activities for early morning or late evening, when temperatures are cooler. Avoid strenuous activities between 10 AM and 4 PM, which is when the sun is strongest.

Dress for the Heat

Choose lightweight, loose-fitting, and light-colored clothing. Breathable fabrics like cotton or moisture-wicking athletic wear can help keep your body cool.

Use Sunscreen

Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every two hours, and after sweating or swimming. Sunburn reduces your body’s ability to cool itself and increases the risk of dehydration.

Seek Shade

Whenever possible, stay in shaded areas. Umbrellas, wide-brimmed hats, and sunglasses offer extra protection.

Cool Down Periodically

If you are outdoors for extended periods, take breaks in air-conditioned spaces or use cooling towels and portable fans.

Special Considerations for Children and Older Adults

Children’s bodies heat up faster and cool down more slowly than adults, putting them at higher risk. Make sure they drink water frequently and take breaks from play.

Older adults may not feel thirsty or notice signs of dehydration as quickly. Encourage regular water intake and check in on elderly loved ones frequently during heat waves.

The Role of Direct Primary Care in Summer Wellness

One of the benefits of being a Coronado Health Direct Primary Care member is that you have easy access to your provider when health concerns arise—even when they are heat-related.

Whether you are experiencing symptoms of dehydration, need medication guidance, or want to develop a personalized summer wellness plan, our team is here to support you.

We also offer in-office and virtual visits, making it convenient to get care whether you are home or traveling this summer.

Takeaway: Summer Should Be Enjoyable, Not Risky

The desert heat in Southern Nevada is no joke. With temperatures regularly exceeding 100 degrees, the risks of heat exhaustion and dehydration are real. But with the right habits and awareness, you can enjoy the sunshine safely.

Quick Recap:

• Know the signs of heat exhaustion and act fast.
  
• Stay consistently hydrated, even when you are not thirsty.
  
• Plan your day around the sun and take breaks in cool environments.
  
• Check on vulnerable loved ones.
  
• Reach out to your Coronado Health provider if something feels off.
  

Summer is a time for connection, relaxation, and exploration. Don’t let a preventable illness put a pause on your plans. Take care of your body, and let us help you stay on track with your health goals all year long!

NAD therapy is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about wellness treatments in the world of regenerative medicine and functional healthcare. Whether delivered as an intravenous (IV) infusion or intramuscular injection, NAD therapy is showing promising results in energy enhancement, cellular repair, cognitive support, and even addiction recovery.

At Coronado Health Direct Primary Care in Henderson, Nevada, we are committed to offering our patients innovative treatments that go beyond symptom management and promote long-term vitality. That is why we are excited to soon introduce NAD injection therapy as part of our growing list of wellness services.

In this article, we’ll explore what NAD is, how it works, who it is best suited for, and why it may be a beneficial addition to your wellness or recovery plan.

What is NAD?

NAD stands for Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide. It is a coenzyme found in every single cell in your body and plays a critical role in energy production, DNA repair, cellular function, and aging. Simply put, without NAD, your body wouldn’t be able to function.

NAD exists in two forms:

• NAD+ (the oxidized form)
  
• NADH (the reduced form)
  

These forms are responsible for transferring electrons in metabolic processes. One of NAD’s most important jobs is to fuel the mitochondria, which are the “powerhouses” of your cells. Mitochondria rely on NAD+ to convert the food you eat into usable energy (ATP).

As we age, NAD levels naturally decline, contributing to fatigue, cognitive decline, decreased physical performance, and slower recovery. Lifestyle factors like poor diet, stress, alcohol use, and exposure to toxins can further deplete NAD.

This is where NAD therapy comes in. By replenishing NAD levels through IV or intramuscular delivery, patients can experience improved cellular health, enhanced energy, and a sharper mind.

What is NAD IV Therapy?

NAD IV therapy involves administering a carefully dosed solution of NAD+ directly into the bloodstream through an intravenous drip. Because it bypasses the digestive system, IV therapy allows for 100 percent absorption, making it especially effective for those who need immediate results or higher doses.

A typical NAD IV session can last anywhere from 60 to 120 minutes depending on the dosage. The slow, controlled drip allows the body to absorb and utilize NAD efficiently without overwhelming the system.

Many patients report feeling mentally clearer, more energized, and more focused even after the first treatment. For best results, NAD IV is often administered in a series of treatments followed by maintenance sessions.

What are NAD Injections?

For patients who prefer a quicker option, NAD injections offer an alternative method of delivery. These are administered as intramuscular shots, usually in the arm or glute, and take only a few minutes to complete.

While NAD injections may not deliver the same volume as IV therapy, they are still highly effective for maintenance, energy support, and convenience. Many patients at Coronado Health choose injections as part of their weekly or monthly wellness routine.

Who Can Benefit from NAD Therapy?

NAD therapy is a versatile and powerful treatment that benefits a wide range of individuals. Here are some of the most common groups who may benefit from regular NAD IV or injections:

Individuals with Fatigue or Low Energy

If you constantly feel sluggish or tired despite getting enough sleep, you may be suffering from mitochondrial dysfunction or NAD depletion. NAD therapy can help restore optimal energy levels by boosting mitochondrial performance.

People with Brain Fog or Cognitive Decline

NAD plays a crucial role in neuroprotection and brain health. Patients experiencing mental fatigue, memory issues, or decreased focus often find NAD therapy helpful for improving clarity and concentration.

Athletes and Active Individuals

Whether you are a professional athlete or someone who enjoys staying fit, NAD can help you recover faster, reduce inflammation, and support muscle repair. It also helps maintain endurance and stamina.

Patients Battling Chronic Illness

Conditions like fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, Lyme disease, and autoimmune disorders are often associated with cellular dysfunction and low NAD levels. NAD therapy may offer supportive benefits for symptom management and energy recovery.

People Going Through Detox or Addiction Recovery

NAD IV has gained recognition in the addiction treatment community for its ability to reduce withdrawal symptoms, improve mood, and restore neurological balance. It supports detoxification and may lessen the dependence on medications during recovery.

Those Interested in Anti-Aging and Longevity

NAD is essential for DNA repair and cellular regeneration. Regular therapy may slow down age-related degeneration, reduce oxidative stress, and promote overall longevity.

High-Stress Professionals or Entrepreneurs

If you’re constantly in overdrive and burning the candle at both ends, your NAD stores are likely being depleted faster than your body can replenish them. NAD therapy may help you bounce back faster and stay mentally sharp.

When Will NAD Be Available at Coronado Health DPC?

We are excited to announce that NAD injection therapy will be available at Coronado Health Direct Primary Care starting Fall 2025. Our team is finalizing training, sourcing pharmaceutical-grade NAD, and preparing a comfortable space for injections.

If you are interested in trying NAD therapy for yourself, take the first step to Become a Patient with Coronado Health Direct Primary Care. Our members will be the first to receive notification when NAD Injection therapy becomes available at our office.

Why Choose Coronado Health for NAD Therapy?

By adding NAD therapy to our offerings, we continue our commitment to helping our patients thrive at every stage of life. Whether you are struggling with burnout, dealing with chronic illness, or simply want to invest in long-term vitality, NAD therapy could be the missing piece.

At Coronado Health Direct Primary Care, we believe that exceptional care starts with exceptional people just like you! We’re thrilled to introduce two new members of our team who bring energy, experience, and a whole lot of heart to our clinic: Sierra, our new Clinical Operations Manager, and her lovable Mini Goldendoodle, Cooper.

A Leader with a Heart for Patient-Centered Care

Sierra joins our team with more than a decade of hands-on healthcare experience and a passion for delivering patient-centered care. As Clinical Operations Manager, she brings a well-rounded perspective shaped by diverse roles across the healthcare landscape. From her beginnings as a Medical Assistant and New Patient Coordinator, to her time as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) in Med-Surg and Stroke units, and her experience as a Registered Pharmacy Technician… Sierra has done it all.

Her background gives her a deep understanding of clinical workflows, staff coordination, and what it takes to create a smooth, supportive, and caring experience for our patients and our team.

But her journey doesn’t stop there. Sierra is currently completing prerequisite coursework as she prepares to pursue nursing or Physician Assistant (PA) school—a testament to her dedication to continuous learning and clinical excellence.

Empowering the Team, Enhancing the Patient Experience

Sierra is already making a meaningful impact by leading with empathy, building team cohesion, and streamlining clinical processes. She’s committed to fostering a culture where both staff and patients feel seen, heard, and supported.

Her strengths lie not only in operational know-how but also in her natural leadership, communication skills, and ability to inspire those around her. Whether it’s refining our workflows or helping patients feel at ease during a visit, Sierra is someone who leads with both skill and heart.

Life Outside the Clinic

When she’s not at the clinic, Sierra is a proud and devoted mom to her energetic 6-year-old son, and enjoys an active home life with her fiancé and their furry companion, Cooper. You’ll often find her unwinding through powerlifting sessions or Commit Dance Fitness—both of which reflect her vibrant energy and dedication to health and wellness.

And Now… Meet Cooper!

We’d be remiss if we didn’t introduce the newest (and possibly most popular) member of our Coronado Health team: Cooper, Sierra’s Mini Goldendoodle and our official office dog! Cooper is more than just adorable, he’s a comforting presence for both staff and patients alike.

With his friendly demeanor, soft curls, and wagging tail, Cooper brings a smile to everyone who walks through our doors. While he’s not involved in patient care, his role as a “wellness ambassador” definitely boosts morale and adds a special charm to our patient experience.

We’re So Glad You’re Here, Sierra and Cooper!

Please join us in giving a warm welcome to Sierra and Cooper. Their presence is already making a positive difference at Coronado Health Direct Primary Care, and we’re excited for the continued growth, compassion, and care they bring to our community!

Hormonal changes affect nearly every part of your life from how you sleep to how you think, feel, and perform. If you’ve been struggling with fatigue, mood swings, weight gain, or low libido, it might not be “just stress” or aging. It could be a sign that your hormones are out of balance.

At Coronado Health Direct Primary Care, located in Henderson, Nevada, we offer HRT therapy to help patients from across the Las Vegas Valley restore balance, improve quality of life, and feel like themselves again. In this post, we’ll break down what hormone replacement therapy is, how it works, and when it may be right for you.

What Is HRT Therapy?

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a medical treatment that supplements or balances hormones that your body is no longer producing in optimal amounts. This therapy is often used to relieve symptoms associated with menopause, perimenopause, low testosterone (Low T), thyroid dysfunction, or other hormonal imbalances.

HRT therapy can involve the replacement of:

• Estrogen and progesterone (primarily for women)
  
• Testosterone (for both men and women)
  
• Thyroid hormones, if clinically necessary
  

At Coronado Health Direct Primary Care, we provide customized hormone therapy plans tailored to your body’s unique needs, using lab testing and thorough consultations to guide every decision.

Why Do Hormones Matter?

Hormones are your body’s internal messengers. They regulate:

• Sleep cycles
  
• Energy levels
  
• Mood and memory
  
• Metabolism
  
• Muscle mass and bone density
  
• Sexual function
  
• Menstrual cycles and fertility
  

When hormones become imbalanced, even slightly, it can affect your entire well-being. That’s why HRT therapy in Henderson, NV, isn’t just about symptom relief—it’s about restoring balance and vitality to your everyday life.

Signs You Might Need HRT Therapy

Hormonal imbalances can look different depending on your age, gender, and health history. Below are common signs we see in patients throughout Las Vegas and Henderson who benefit from hormone replacement therapy.

For Women:

• Hot flashes or night sweats
  
• Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
  
• Vaginal dryness or discomfort
  
• Mood swings, anxiety, or depression
  
• Irregular or absent menstrual cycles
  
• Weight gain, especially around the abdomen
  
• Low libido
  
• Fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest
  
• Sleep disturbances
  

For Men:

• Low libido or erectile dysfunction
  
• Fatigue and reduced stamina
  
• Loss of muscle mass or increased body fat
  
• Mood changes or irritability
  
• Difficulty focusing
  
• Hair thinning
  
• Sleep issues
  
• Lack of motivation
  

If any of these symptoms sound familiar, HRT therapy at Coronado Health Direct Primary Care may be worth exploring.

When to Consider Hormone Replacement Therapy

Hormone replacement therapy is not one-size-fits-all. We help patients decide whether HRT is appropriate based on lab results, symptoms, and overall health goals. Here are some common scenarios where HRT is recommended:

1. Menopause and Perimenopause

Women entering perimenopause or menopause often experience rapid shifts in estrogen and progesterone levels. HRT can dramatically reduce symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, and sleep disturbances.

2. Low Testosterone in Men (Andropause)

Testosterone levels in men tend to decline with age, starting as early as the 30s. Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is a form of HRT that helps restore energy, libido, mental clarity, and muscle strength.

3. Post-Surgical Hormone Loss

Women who have undergone hysterectomy or oophorectomy (removal of ovaries) may experience immediate hormonal drops. HRT can help maintain bone health, mood stability, and sexual function.

4. Thyroid Hormone Deficiency

Though technically separate from estrogen or testosterone therapy, thyroid hormone replacement is a vital part of full-body hormonal balance. Symptoms of low thyroid often include fatigue, cold intolerance, brain fog, and weight changes.

5. Premature Menopause or Hormonal Imbalance at a Young Age

Some women experience early menopause or primary ovarian insufficiency before age 40. For these patients, HRT can help prevent long-term complications like osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease.

Is HRT Therapy Safe?

One of the most common questions we hear at Coronado Health Direct Primary Care is whether hormone replacement therapy is safe.

Research shows that for most patients under age 60—or within 10 years of menopause—HRT is both safe and highly effective. As with any medical treatment, risks depend on personal and family history, lifestyle, and the type of hormones used.

We offer bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) for many patients, which uses hormones chemically identical to those your body naturally produces. This approach may reduce the risk of side effects for some individuals.

Our team takes a conservative, science-backed approach to dosing and monitoring, ensuring that your HRT plan is as safe as it is effective.

What to Expect at Coronado Health Direct Primary Care

Here’s how we approach hormone therapy for our patients across Las Vegas, Henderson, and surrounding areas:

Comprehensive Consultation

We take time to understand your full health history, current symptoms, and long-term goals.

Lab Testing

We run detailed hormone panels to measure levels of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, DHEA, and cortisol.

Personalized Plan

If hormone imbalance is confirmed, we create a personalized HRT plan using your preferred method—whether oral, topical, injectable, or pellet-based therapy.

Ongoing Support

Hormone therapy requires fine-tuning. We regularly monitor your levels and symptoms, adjusting as needed to keep you feeling your best.

Complementary Approaches to HRT Therapy

Hormone therapy works best when combined with healthy lifestyle habits. At Coronado Health in Henderson, we coach patients on how to support hormone health naturally through:

• Nutrition counseling
  
• Stress management
  
• Sleep optimization
  
• Targeted supplements
  
• Regular movement and strength training
  

These changes often enhance the effectiveness of HRT therapy and help patients see more lasting results.

You Don’t Have to “Push Through It”

If you’ve been told your symptoms are just part of getting older—or if you’re tired of feeling like a shell of your former self—know that HRT therapy may help you feel vibrant, strong, and balanced again.

At Coronado Health Direct Primary Care, we’re proud to support patients from all over the Las Vegas Valley, including Henderson, Summerlin, Green Valley, North Las Vegas, and beyond. We believe in listening to your story, using evidence-based care, and walking with you through every step of your wellness journey.
