Exercising regularly during winter is essential because it:

⭐️Strengthens your heart and lungs
⭐️Supports your immune system during cold and flu season

Whether you choose a brisk walk, a home workout, or a session at the gym, staying active is crucial for maintaining your health and energy throughout the colder months.

Men’s Health Matters!

Taking charge of your health means putting things into action, and sometimes, it may feel like a chore. Beginning to move and exercise, feeding your body healthy nutrients, maintaining your weight, or shedding a few kilos are all things you can and should aim to do. For some, it may make you feel good, and for others, well, let's say it takes a LOT of effort!

To live longer is not just the goal, but to live well and in good health. Commit to periodic check-ins with your GP and formalise that accountability. Small changes can lead to big transformations.

As autumn draws close, many people experience a transformative shift in mood, energy, and overall well-being. Shorter days, colder mornings, and less sunlight can provoke seasonal changes in mental health, sometimes leading to feelings of fatigue, low mood, anxiety, or a lack of motivation. This is not uncommon, and you are certainly not alone.

If you're feeling overwhelmed or not quite yourself, know that support is within reach. Reach out to one of our compassionate GPs or Psychologists, who are here to provide a safe space for you to chat through your thoughts and feelings. Humans are meant to live in a community. Remember, talking to someone can truly make a difference.

Dr Jason Lam Presented at the International EDS Conference in Brisbane

We're pleased to share that Dr. Jason Lam was an invited speaker at the recent international Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (EDS) conference held in Brisbane. This important event brings together clinicians, researchers, and patient advocates from around the world focused on EDS and related connective tissue disorders.

Dr Lam delivered two presentations: one exploring "Hypermobility in Elite and sub-elite Sport," addressing the specific challenges and considerations for hypermobile athletes, and another on "Navigating the Healthcare System," offering insights into managing the complexities patients often face when seeking care for multi-system disorders.

Contributing practical knowledge on topics directly relevant to patient experience and clinical management at international forums like this is a key part of our commitment at Bluff Road Medical to improving understanding and care within the EDS community globally.
