Paradigm Family Health

TRUE. 💙

Most people diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes have no family history of the disease.

Neither did Dr. Benson’s daughter.

This little wave was from a hospital bed shortly after T1D suddenly became part of her family’s story.

For many families, the first warning of Type 1 diabetes is when a child becomes sick — sometimes critically sick. But T1D can actually be detected before symptoms begin by screening for islet autoantibodies.

And the conversation around screening is changing.

New international consensus guidance supported by Breakthrough T1D recommends moving toward screening children in the general population — not just children considered “high risk” because of family history. Experts recommend beginning screening around ages 2–4, with repeat screening later in childhood. Early detection can significantly reduce the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) at diagnosis and give families time to prepare. (Breakthrough T1D)

As family physicians — and in Dr. Benson’s case, now as a T1D parent — this one hits close to home.

“It doesn’t run in our family” doesn’t mean your child isn’t at risk.

Awareness matters. Screening matters. And hopefully, fewer families will have to learn about Type 1 diabetes for the first time from a hospital room. 💙

🧪 A little hocus pocus for your skin… but the science is the real magic. ✨

Meet exosomes — one of the most exciting developments in regenerative skincare.

Exosome-based topical products contain cell-signaling components designed to support the skin’s natural repair and renewal processes. When paired with treatments like microneedling or laser resurfacing, they may help support:

✨ Smoother-looking texture
✨ Brighter, more even-looking skin
✨ Improved appearance of fine lines
✨ Post-procedure recovery
✨ Healthier-looking, more radiant skin

Think of it less like adding another moisturizer to your routine and more like leveling up what we put on your skin when it’s primed to receive it.

And no, despite what this bubbling cauldron suggests, we are not brewing these in the back room. 😂

Curious whether exosomes belong in your skincare plan?

Schedule a skincare consultation at Paradigm Family Health and let’s build a treatment plan for your skin—not TikTok’s.

🔮 Your skin’s future is looking pretty good.

If this photo feels nostalgic instead of vintage… we need to talk. 😂

Your mixtapes may be gone. Your Aqua Net may have retired. But unfortunately, preventive healthcare is still totally rad.

So consider this your friendly reminder to:

📼 Schedule the mammogram.
🕹️ Get the colonoscopy.
☎️ Check the blood pressure.
🛼 Know your cholesterol.
💿 And maybe finally find a P*P you actually like.

At Paradigm Family Health, we do primary care a little differently: more time, better access, and a physician who actually knows you.

No waiting until something goes wrong. No 7-minute visits. No feeling like a number.

Different on purpose. Better by design.

👉 Check us out, meet our physicians, and choose the Paradigm membership that fits you.

Because getting older is inevitable.

Getting better healthcare is a choice.

🥼We weren’t trying to start a revolution.

We were trying to practice medicine.

To have enough time to listen.

To know our patients.

To make decisions based on what they needed—not what an insurance company would reimburse.

To build practices where physicians could love medicine again.

Ten years ago, Direct Primary Care was still something most people had never heard of.

Today, physicians across the country are building practices around a remarkably simple idea:

The relationship between a patient and their physician should be at the center of healthcare.

There is still a lot of work to do.

But maybe the future of healthcare isn’t another complicated system.

Maybe it’s returning to something we should never have lost.

Relationship. Access. Trust.

And we’re just getting started. 🎬

POV: you bend over in scrubs and accidentally empty your entire mobile office onto the floor. 😂

Pens. Phone. Gloves. Lip balm. Random medical supplies. Probably a snack. Possibly something we forgot was even in there.

Scrub pockets aren’t pockets. They’re healthcare junk drawers you wear on your body.

Follow Paradigm Family Health for better healthcare, questionable workplace behavior, and apparently… pocket inventory management. 😂

“But I have really good insurance.”

Somehow, we built a healthcare system where you can have insurance and still struggle to find a doctor.

Wait weeks for an appointment.

Spend hours in urgent care.

See someone who has never met you.

Repeat your entire story.

Get another bill.

And start over the next time you’re sick.

We decided healthcare could look different.

At Paradigm, our patients join a primary care practice—not just a waiting list. We get to know you, your history, your family and what matters to you.

That’s Direct Primary Care.

Healthcare didn’t need another workaround.

It needed a different design.

Different on purpose. Better by design.
