Hey, I'm Chivas — The Pink NP 💗

I'm Chivas Harris, MSN, APRN, FNP-C—a nurse practitioner, obesity medicine provider, bariatric patient, breast cancer survivor, wife, mom of four, content creator and the woman behind The Pink NP.

I've spent years caring for patients, but some of the most valuable lessons I've learned came from becoming the patient myself.

I had sleeve gastrectomy more than a decade ago after traveling to Mexico for surgery when my insurance wouldn't cover it. Years later, my personal journey came full circle when I began caring for bariatric and obesity medicine patients myself.

Then life handed me another perspective when I became a breast cancer survivor and began navigating surgical menopause, survivorship and a changing body from the patient side of healthcare all over again.

The Pink NP is where my clinical experience meets my real life.

We're talking health, weight, wellness, women's health, survivorship, beauty, aging and all the things nobody seems to warn us about—with education, honesty, humor and absolutely no judgment.

I'm not here to tell you to be perfect.

I'm here to help you feel informed, empowered and a little less alone.

Stay Pink & Powerful. 💗
