WHAT'S COMING

export-03_edited.jpg

We’re excited to now offer Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) at Evolve; led by our nurse practitioner and medical director, Erin Stewart Np-C, who is currently completing advanced training in BHRT.

 

Many medspas offer hormone therapy without any formal education or credentialing but Erin believes patients deserve better. She’s actively working through a comprehensive, four-part certification program qualifying her to prescribe and manage hormone therapy with an elevated level of clinical knowledge and safety. Her passion for hormone health and whole-body wellness is what inspired her to bring this much-needed (and highly requested) service to Evolve.

 

If you’ve been feeling off: tired, foggy, moody, unmotivated, or just not like yourself- hormone imbalance might be the missing piece! Through comprehensive lab testing and personalized treatment plans, Erin helps patients rebalance and feel their best from the inside out
 

 Hormones we can test and treat:

• Testosterone (for men and women)

• Estradiol

• Progesterone

• Thyroid

• Melatonin

• DHEA

• Pregnenolone


What’s even better? We can now offer these appointments virtually.

 New at Evolve: Wellness + Sick Visits with Erin
(Virtual or In-Person)

 

We’re making healthcare more accessible, more convenient, and way less stressful. You can now schedule wellness or sick visits with our nurse practitioner and medical director, Erin Stewart NP-C, either virtually or in-person.

 

These appointments are perfect when you don’t have time to sit in a crowded waiting room… or when your PCP insists on an in-person visit during your busiest workday. We’re here to offer an alternative because your time AND your health both matter.

 

 Virtual or in-person options available

  To start: In-person sick visits will be offered on Mondays only and only during specific times (when we are otherwise closed for aesthetic services). We have decided to do this in effort to protect our patients and minimize cross-contact. In-person wellness visits will have more availability as well as open availability for virtual sick visits.

 

 We do not bill insurance: all visits are self-pay for your convenience


Please note:

We do not treat gynecologic complaints, chest pain, or shortness of breath. These require a higher level of care. Please call 911 or go to urgent care for those concerns.

 

 Not sure if we can help with your specific issue? Reach out to our team. We are happy to answer any questions and guide you to the right fit.

 Reintroducing: Weight Loss & Lifestyle Management
at Evolve

 

If you’ve been thinking about starting your weight loss journey or are ready to get back on track, we’re now accepting new patients into our medically managed Weight Loss & Lifestyle Program, led by our nurse practitioner and medical director, Erin Stewart NP-C.

 

We now offer both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide options, paired with lifestyle support that’s designed to help you achieve real, sustainable results. This is more than a prescription, it’s a personalized plan built around your goals, your body, and your day-to-day life.

 

 Please note: Patients must meet specific medical criteria to be eligible for this program.

 

What Makes Our Program Different?

We’ve teamed up with Andie Scarpa, a certified nutritionist and personal trainer, to take your success a step further.

Each new weight loss patient will receive a one-on-one virtual consultation with Andie to discuss:

 

• Nutrition and food choices that fuel your body

• Movement tips to fit your lifestyle

• Simple strategies to increase energy and stay motivated

 

This team-based approach combines medical support + practical lifestyle tools so you can feel better, move better, and stay consistent.

 

 Schedule your consult with Erin to see if you qualify and take the first step toward a stronger, more energized version of you.

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT

ZO AOX Serum

Antioxidant powerhouse meets silky perfection.

This month, we’re highlighting one of our favorite skin-protecting multitaskers: the ZO AOX Serum.

 

This advanced antioxidant formula helps defend against environmental stress, support the skin barrier, reduce visible redness, and smooth fine lines; all while delivering a silky, almost primer-like finish that layers beautifully under SPF or makeup.

TIPS & FACTS:

export-06.png
export-05.png
export-07.png
export-08.png

While you sleep, your skin works overtime; boosting blood flow for a natural glow, rebuilding collagen to smooth fine lines, accelerating cellular turnover to shed old, damaged skin cells, and strengthening its protective barrier. A good night's rest is truly the ultimate beauty treatment! 

Pro Tip: A consistent sleep schedule plus a solid nighttime routine (cleanse, treat, hydrate, and protect) maximizes tehse natural repair cycles, making your skin work smarter, not harder, while you rest.

 Wellness Tips for Better Sleep

1. Aim for 7–8 hours of sleep per night

2. Prioritize consistent, high-quality rest to help limit insomnia and daytime drowsiness

3. Keep sleep routines regular: consistent bed and wake times support cardiovascular health

4. If you do shift work or face chronic stress, consult a healthcare provider about sleep hygiene strategies and screening for sleep disorders like sleep apnea or insomnia.

 

 Sleep: Sweet dreams aren’t just a treat, they’re essential. Sleeping the right amount (7–8 hours!) and practicing good sleep habits can reduce your stroke risk by up to 75%. Prioritize sleep, not just for glowing skin and sharper focus, but for longevity and a healthier heart and brain. 

 

Did you know?
Getting the right amount of sleep (generally 7 to 8 hours per night) not only rejuvenates the body but also significantly reduces the risk of stroke and heart disease.

Ever wonder why your high schooler starts school later than your elementary-aged kid and gets out later too?

 

It’s not just to frustrate parents during school pick-up. 

It’s actually a science-backed decision to support teenage brain health.

 

During puberty, teens experience a natural shift in their sleep cycle making it harder for them to fall asleep early and wake up at the crack of dawn. Studies show that later school start times help teens get the 8–10 hours of sleep their bodies and brains truly need, leading to:

 

• Better focus and academic performance

• Improved mood and emotional regulation

• Lower risk of depression and anxiety

• Even reduced car crash risk in teen drivers (seriously!)

 

So even if it throws off your afternoon carpool routine… it’s for their health.

Tigers have the same print that is on their fur on their skin too! And every tiger has a unique print, like our fingerprints.

 

  • A tiger’s iconic striped pattern isn’t just on its fur, it’s actually on its skin too! If you were to shave a tiger (don’t worry, we won’t!), the exact same stripe pattern would still be visible on its skin.
     

  • Even cooler? No two tigers have the same stripes  Each one has a unique pattern, just like human fingerprints! It’s how researchers can identify
    individual tigers in the wild!

     

  • Just like each of us has our own skin story, tigers wear theirs with pride: stripes, scars, and all. A perfect reminder that beauty and individuality go hand in hand. 

FEATURED REVIEW

“I met with Claudia yesterday and it was the best experience EVER!! She is like the friend that I never knew I needed. She explained everything perfectly. Evolve is fresh and beautiful, I just wanted to hangout in the cool chairs! Claudia has a client for life in me, I felt like she genuinely cared. I can’t wait for our future together!” -BC

 

Have you ever been a patient of any of our providers or visited Evolve for a service or consult? If so, we’d be so grateful if you took a moment to leave us a Google review! Your feedback not only means the world to our team, it also helps our practice grow.

 

Every review helps us reach new patients, expand our offerings, and continue investing in cutting-edge treatments, ongoing training, and the exceptional care we’re committed to providing. Thank you for helping Evolve thrive!

FROM CLAUDIA:

I’m still smiling from the outpouring of
love and support we felt during Kasen’s
annual LemonAid Stand. To our incredible
patients, friends, family, brand ambassadors,
and sales reps: thank you from the bottom
of my heart. Because of you, Kasen’s Fairway
Creations and our LemonAid fundraiser
raised an amazing $3,117 to support CHoR!
We’re already dreaming bigger and have
officially raised the bar with a new goal of
$5,000 for next year!

 

I also want to extend a huge thank-you to everyone who donated to our Christmas in July toy drive for Connor’s Heroes. Together, we collected 111 toys and books, along with a generous basket of pre-made gift bags specifically for teen patients fighting cancer (a group that’s often overlooked). Your kindness continues to make a real impact in our community.

 

As we head into August, I’m so excited to finally introduce BHRT (Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy) one of our most-requested services! We’re also kicking off a NEW fundraiser close to our hearts: our Back-to-School Backpack Drive. Our goal is to stuff and deliver 20 backpacks to pediatric cancer patients (and their siblings!) that HopeRVA serves in the Richmond area, and we need your help!

 

Thank you for continuing to be part of the Evolve family and for showing up for this community in such powerful ways. Here’s to health, healing, and heartfelt giving.

 

With so much gratitude and love,

Claudia
