A Journey to Health: Support Through Mental & Physical Struggles
How One Woman Overcame Challenges with Her Doctor’s Support
“I faced several challenges with my mental and physical health, and I knew something had to change,” Samantha said. Depression and anxiety were overwhelming me, leading to sleep problems, irritability, constant headaches, and a sense of lost purpose. On top of that, being overweight was impacting my physical health. “I felt tired and unmotivated all the time,” she stated.
Everything changed when Samantha attended a welcome visit at Hy-Vee Health Exemplar Care, following my company providing membership as one of their employee benefits through Aplos Health Plans. During my visit, Elli Vore, PA, took the time to evaluate my health and guide me toward making positive changes in my daily routine.
“Elli recommended a medication that specifically addressed my depression and anxiety. I was shocked by the improvements I experienced after starting it—it’s like I found myself again!” Samantha shared. She also helped me set weight loss goals, and she is thrilled to share that “I’ve lost about 20 pounds in just two months—much better than I ever expected!” Samantha noted.
Now, she feels so much healthier. “I feel so much better,” Samantha stated. Her mental health has improved significantly, and her physical health has followed suit. “I have more energy and alertness, and many of the issues that once plagued me have disappeared,” Samantha explained. She has become more active and is making healthier food choices.
“If you’re considering making changes in your life but haven’t taken the plunge yet, don’t wait any longer.” Samantha urged. If your mind and body are signaling that something isn’t right, it’s important to listen.
