                        Amber, at 42 years old, 306 pounds and 5’7” tall, is one of many people who could no longer access prescription weight-loss medication after it became unavailable for people without diabetes. “After I gained and lost 90 pounds three separate times, I asked for surgery,” she says. “It was awful, trying to work at that weight. My mom had surgery with Dr. Burpee about 25 years ago, and she’s 76 and doing great. She can out-walk anybody.” Amber didn’t want to keep bouncing dramatically from one weight to an... ... Read More

                        Complex processes contribute to health and well-being TUCSON, AZ (Aug. 18, 2025) – We know getting a good night’s sleep is important for the body, but what about the brain? According to many studies, your overall brain health and well-being depend on the complex internal work going on while you’re at rest. Sleep frees your brain to experience important changes and processes, including cleaning out things it doesn’t need, consolidating memories, sending signals for the creation of hormones, and strengthe... ...

                        08.06.2025

                        TUCSON, AZ (Aug. 6, 2025) – According to a recent poll from the American Cancer Society, nearly two-thirds of men aged 55-69 have not been screened for prostate cancer. As a result, the rate of advanced stage prostate cancer is on the rise for the first time in decades. Urologist Jules Manger, M.D. , who sees patients at Northwest Urology at Houghton, says men at average risk of prostate cancer should talk with their doctors about screening around the age of 50. “Understanding your risk factors is one o... ...

                        TUCSON, AZ – We still have lots of summer left here in Pima County – a wonderful time to enjoy swimming, diving, sailing, and waterskiing. However, it’s important to never become complacent about safety in, on, or near water. In Arizona, drowning is the leading cause of unintentional injury-related death for children between the ages of one and four. “There are a lot of places that kids will encounter water,” says Northwest Healthcare pediatrician Jonny Neilson, M.D. , “and in Tucson, it’s typically so ... ...

                        “I never expected to be in the normal range,” Melissa says on a clear summer day 18 months after her weight loss surgery with Stephen Burpee, M.D. And Melissa doesn’t only mean a normal weight range, she means a normal health range – with the cholesterol numbers, energy levels, and a C-PAP machine gathering dust to prove it. Back when Melissa weighed 341 pounds at 5’5” tall, one of her co-workers underwent successful weight loss surgery. This was the catalyst Melissa needed to begin researching for hers... ... Read More
