Mary J. Jordan , Certified Family Nurse Practitioner (CNP), has dedicated her practice to identifying the root cause of health issues, not just treating the symptoms. Life is a journey, and your health and quality of life are her priority. Many chronic health issues that occur as we age are related to the deficiency in hormones. Encompass Wellness offers a safe and effective treatment of hormone replacement with Biote. Biote is an all-natural form of hormone replacement of testosterone for men and testosterone and estradiol for women in the form of a pellet that is placed into the subcutaneous fat of the upper buttocks. Once the

hormones are optimized, many patients report feeling like themselves again. Women with menopausal symptoms are finding relief. Men mainly notice an improvement with sleep, joint pain, ED, and gaining muscle mass. Weight gain is another issue that can cause serious health issues. Being overweight or obese can lead to diabetes, high blood pressure, and unhealthy cholesterol levels, which increases the risk of heart disease and stroke. Encompass Wellness offers a weight loss program with semaglutide also known as Ozempic or Wegovy and tirzepatide also known as Mounjaro or Zepbound. Weight loss is made effortless with semaglutide and

tirzepatide, a once-a-week subcutaneous injection that increases insulin sensitivity, slows gastric emptying, and suppresses appetite and cravings. Many patients express their gratitude for feeling the best they have in years and being able to enjoy doing simple things in life like walking long distances, fitting into rides/chairs, keeping up with kids and grandkids, and feeling desirable again.
