Hi. I’m Claire*. I’m a lawyer, mom of two, chronically overbooked, and until recently, a person who thought “maybe next quarter” was a valid healthcare plan.
It’s not that I didn’t want to take care of myself. I meant to book that physical. Really. I even had it on my calendar—twice. Both times, I had to cancel. Once because a deposition ran long, and the other because my oldest left their trumpet on the school bus and was melting down over the band concert. Life happens.
But lately…life has been happening to me.
It started subtly. A little less sleep. A few more emotional landmines. I blamed work, caffeine, the dog barking at 2 a.m. Then came the night sweats. The weight gain. The wild mood swings that had me rage-cleaning the junk drawer at 1 a.m. My husband said I was “glowing.” I corrected him: “Sweating while standing still.”
I knew it was time to see a PCP. But I also knew I’d have to leave work early, wait forever, get maybe 7 minutes with a provider who didn’t know me and might hand me a prescription for something that didn’t fix anything.
So, I did what I always do: I Googled at midnight.
And that’s how I found Cool Creek Family Health in Carmel, Indiana. ——-
(Farah Myers, FNP, DipACLM…)
This is Farah Myers, Family Nurse Practitioner and Diplomate of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine. Does Claire sound like you? Claire may be a fictional character, but her story is wildly common — especially among high-achieving professionals in law, accounting, finance, and other client-driven industries. These are folks who know how to advocate for others but rarely for themselves. And when hormones, burnout, and chronic stress start compounding, it’s easy to feel like you’re falling apart quietly while holding everyone else together.
That’s where Direct Primary Care (DPC) comes in.
At Cool Creek Family Health, we take the insurance drama out of healthcare. Instead, we offer a flat monthly membership that includes your visits, direct text access to your nurse practitioner, and personalized care for issues like hormonal imbalance, menopause, anxiety, burnout, and lifestyle fatigue.
Whether you’re in Carmel, Westfield, Noblesville, or anywhere in Central Indiana, you’ll get same-day or next-day visits, longer appointment times, and a relationship with your NP that actually feels like a partnership — someone who listens, remembers, and sticks with you.
(Back to Claire’s story…)
From the moment I met my nurse practitioner, I exhaled for the first time in, oh, maybe four years? She didn’t just nod at my symptoms — she knew what they meant. We ran labs, looked at my hormones, talked about stress, aging, and what health could actually feel like in this season of life.
There was no rush. No judgment. And no clipboard full of insurance codes.
Now? I text when I need to. I pop in for a visit when things flare up — or before they do. I’ve started sleeping again. I stopped crying over cheese commercials. And yes, I still get overwhelmed sometimes, but now I have someone on my team who actually knows my name, my chart, and my life.
I thought what I needed was a primary care provider.
Turns out, what I really needed was a partner in my health.
If you’re a lawyer, CPA, or professional in Carmel or anywhere in Central Indiana — and you’re wondering why you’re exhausted, sweaty, foggy, and more irritable than a toddler without a snack — please let me save you the late-night Googling.
You don’t have to power through. You just need the right support.
And maybe a clean junk drawer. But one thing at a time.
