“You can do this.” The first words you speak to a patient plant the seed of possibility or doubt that will follow them through their entire health journey. While the obvious fears about starting a new health journey are easy to address, it’s the quiet inner critic—the sneaky voice that whispers “this isn’t for you”—that paralyzes patients at the starting line. Your reassurance helps silence that voice; and more importantly, gives patients the courage to believe in themselves to make it to the finish line. What patients need to feel, and messages you can share to support: - Seen and understood: 'Your struggles are real, and so is your strength to overcome them' - Capable of change: 'You have everything within you to succeed—we're here to help you discover it' - Supported, not alone: 'This journey has challenges, but you'll never face them without guidance' - Worthy of success: 'You deserve to feel healthy and confident in your own skin' Confident in progress: 'Every small step forward is proof you're on the right path'" At Akina, we’ve seen patients rise above their own expectations again and again. With the right support, those quiet doubts don’t stand a chance. #PatientEmpowerment #HealthJourney #YouCanDoThis #CourageToBegin #AchievableGoals

The biggest predictor of weight management success? Having people by your side. Support is indispensable to the process. Community provides: Encouragement during setbacks Accountability for consistent action Shared celebration of achievements Understanding from others on similar journeys Fresh perspective when progress stalls As providers, you can actively help patients build their support networks. Connect them with others, encourage family involvement, facilitate group experiences. At Akina, we know healing happens in relationships. Whether it's our team supporting providers or providers supporting patients, community is the catalyst for progress. #CommunitySupport #WeightManagement #PatientSupport

After her breast cancer treatment at age 23, Chloe Harrouche was left wondering: “Now what?” The answer became her mission. She co-founded The Lanby, a concierge medicine practice focused on prevention, long-term support, and treating patients like people—not case numbers. Her experience is personal. Her care model is personal. And at Akina, that hits home. Like Chloe, we believe in healthcare that listens, adapts, and makes it personal.

When a pharmacy does its job right, the whole community feels it. At Akina, we believe great pharmacy care doesn’t stop at the patient—it ripples outward.

The best strategy for your patients when it comes to sustainable weight loss? Consistency > perfection. Start small. Really small. Replace one soda with water. Take a few more steps each day. Pick up the phone and call that friend back. That’s it. Small wins build confidence. Success leads to more success. It doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Changes can feel manageable and realistic. The magic happens when habits stick, day after day. The message for your patients is simple: sustainable change starts with one small step, repeated consistently. That's how real transformation works. At Akina Pharmacy, we live by the same principle. Whether it’s how we approach compounding or how we support providers, we believe in individualized care, thoughtful progress, and sustainable change. #ProviderTips #SmallStepsBigChange #WeightLossJourney #PatientCare

The most effective weight management protocols aren't just about the right medication at the right dose. They're about understanding the whole person behind the prescription. When patients ask where to begin their weight loss journey, the most important question isn't 'what' or 'how'—it's 'why?' Their deeper motivation becomes their North Star—guiding every decision, every step forward. As a provider, you have the unique opportunity to help patients uncover what truly drives them and shape treatments that create lasting change. Here’s how to guide the conversation: - Slow it down. Give patients a moment to reflect—no rush, no pressure. Ask: What’s really motivating this decision for you? - Dig deeper. “Feeling better” is just the surface—but what does that actually mean to you? More energy for their kids? Confidence in their clothes? More freedom to move well? A brighter lens on life? - Lock it in. Have them articulate their ‘why’ clearly– whether written down or spoken out loud. When the meaning becomes real, the commitment follows. At Akina Pharmacy, we believe in this same principle: start with why. When you help patients connect their treatment to the meaningful life improvements they want to achieve and maintain, you go from treating symptoms to building the foundation for lasting change. #WeightLossJourney #RootCauseCare #PersonalizedMedicine #AkinaPharmacy
