We’re heading into a respiratory virus season with a twist this year — and it’s showing up in Canada’s own health surveillance data.

Recent reports show influenza activity rising, while COVID-19 and RSV remain steady across the country — meaning more people are experiencing coughs, fevers, and congestion simultaneously than in past seasons. This pattern is similar to broader North American trends, where several respiratory viruses spread at once.

Here’s why this matters:
🦠 Multiple viruses circulating at once can make symptoms harder to distinguish without testing.
📈 Influenza rates increasing means people across all ages — not just children or older adults — may be more likely to get sick.
🤧 Stable COVID-19 activity doesn’t eliminate risk, especially for high-risk groups.

What you can do right now (practical and simple):
• Watch for overlapping symptoms — fever, cough, body aches, fatigue
• Stay up to date with vaccines recommended in your age group
• Practice sensible infection prevention: hand hygiene, staying home when sick, and wearing a mask in crowded indoor settings if you or someone you live with is vulnerable

Respiratory illness isn’t going away — but understanding the season’s trends helps you make smarter health decisions.

💬 Feel free to share what symptoms you’re seeing in your community — and always ask a clinician if you’re unsure about next steps.

There’s more health advice online than ever — supplements, wellness trends, “what I take in a day,” and quick fixes that promise big results. Some of it can be helpful. A lot of it isn’t meant for every body.

What works for one person may not be safe, effective, or necessary for another — especially when medications, existing conditions, or mental health are part of the picture. Even vitamins and “natural” products can interact in ways people don’t expect.

Healthcare should be a place where you can bring questions without feeling embarrassed or dismissed. Asking “Is this right for me?” is part of being proactive about your health — not a sign you’re doing something wrong.

Good care isn’t about following trends. It’s about understanding context, history, and what actually supports your long-term wellbeing.

If you’ve seen something online and aren’t sure whether it’s a good fit for you, that conversation is worth having.

💬 Questions are welcome.
📅 Support starts with informed care.

Late nights, festive gatherings, travel, and disrupted routines can all make sleep harder during the holidays — and lack of rest can affect everything from mood and immunity to focus and energy.

Getting back to basics can help: dimming lights in the evening, limiting screens before bed, and keeping a consistent sleep window when possible. Some people also use melatonin short-term to help reset their sleep schedule after late nights or travel — but it’s best used only when needed, at the lowest effective dose, and not as a nightly habit.

If sleep issues are ongoing or affecting your daily life, a Bluenose Health care provider can help explore what’s really going on.

If you overindulged at the turkey table yesterday… you’re in very good company 😅 Heavy meals, extra sugar, late nights, and a little more wine than usual can leave you feeling bloated, sluggish, or just off today.

Gentle resets can help: drink plenty of water, go for a light walk, and return to normal meals instead of skipping them. Here also are some common supplements that may help:

1. Probiotics: These contain “good” bacteria that support your gut and may help decrease occasional bloating and gas.

2. Digestive Enzymes: Enzyme supplements help break down food components (like fats, carbs, and proteins), which can ease digestion and reduce bloating for some people, especially after rich meals.

3. Ginger or Herbal Extracts: Supplements or teas with ginger might help speed digestion and reduce bloating due to their anti-inflammatory properties.

5. Alpha-Galactosidase (e.g. Beano); This enzyme supplement can help break down certain hard-to-digest carbs (like beans and veggies) before they ferment in the gut and cause gas.

💡 Tip: If bloating is frequent, painful, or comes with other symptoms (like weight loss or blood in stool), it’s worth discussing with a Bluenose Health clinician as it could signal an underlying condition.

🥶 Cold weather can be especially tough on skin — and winter is a common trigger for eczema flare-ups.

Dry air, colder temperatures, and indoor heating can strip moisture from the skin, leading to itching, redness, cracking, and irritation. Add in heavier clothing and frequent handwashing, and it’s no surprise many people see symptoms worsen this time of year.

A few small adjustments can make a big difference:
• Moisturize consistently with a thick, fragrance-free cream or ointment, especially after bathing
• Keep showers short and lukewarm to avoid drying out the skin
• Address flare-ups early — waiting often makes symptoms harder to control

Eczema and other winter-related conditions are common, but they don’t have to disrupt your day-to-day comfort. Reviewing treatment options, adjusting routines, or getting personalized advice early can help you stay comfortable through the colder months.

If winter skin issues are affecting how you feel or sleep, we’re here to help you manage them.

Medication questions often increase during the holidays — and that’s completely understandable.

Travel plans, busier schedules, missed doses, refills running out, or new side effects can all create unnecessary stress, especially when clinics and pharmacies are operating on reduced hours. Even small changes in routine can affect how medications work or how consistently they’re taken.

A quick check-in before the holidays can help you stay on track. Reviewing dosages, arranging refills, discussing side effects, or planning ahead for travel can prevent last-minute scrambling and give you peace of mind when things get busy.

If you have questions about your medications or know you’ll need renewals soon, booking early can help you enjoy the season without added worry.

One of the most common things we hear is, “I didn’t book because I wasn’t sure it was serious enough.”

That uncertainty keeps a lot of people waiting longer than they should. Healthcare shouldn’t feel like a guessing game, or like you need to “qualify” your concern before seeking care. New symptoms, ongoing discomfort, changes that don’t improve, or something that just doesn’t feel right are all valid reasons to book an appointment.

At Bluenose Health, we focus on making access to care feel straightforward and supportive. Booking is simple, appointments are patient-focused, and questions are taken seriously — so you can spend less time worrying and more time getting clarity.

If you’ve been debating whether to book, consider this your sign to get answers and reassurance sooner rather than later ➡ 📲+1 902 707 5404

❄️🤕 Winter has a way of making small health issues feel bigger than they are — and easier to ignore.

Shorter days, colder weather, and packed schedules often lead people to push through lingering coughs, sinus pressure, headaches, body aches, or ongoing fatigue. It’s common to assume it’s “just the season,” but when symptoms stick around, they’re often your body’s way of asking for attention — not another week of waiting or powering through.

Addressing concerns early can make a real difference. A simple check-in can help rule things out, adjust treatment, or prevent a minor issue from turning into something that disrupts your routine even more. It can also bring peace of mind when you’re not sure what’s normal and what isn’t.

If something hasn’t improved or feels like it’s lingering longer than it should, booking care sooner can help you feel better faster — and get back to feeling like yourself.

Healthcare isn’t just about appointments — it’s about continuity, trust, and feeling supported over time.

So what IS continuity of care? The term refers to the idea that you should have a healthcare provider who knows all aspects of your medical history. They can help ensure you receive the most appropriate care for your individual needs.

When you know where to turn for care, decisions get easier. Symptoms feel less scary. And healthcare feels like a partnership instead of an obstacle.

That’s the experience we’re working to create at Bluenose Health — accessible, thoughtful care that fits into real life.

If you’re looking for primary care that meets you where you are, we’d love to help.
