This time of year in Moncton, weโ€™re deep into indoor season. Windows closed, heat running, dry air everywhere.

And that combo can quietly affect things people donโ€™t always connect to winter:

โ€ข Dry, irritated sinuses
โ€ข Headaches from dehydration and indoor air
โ€ข Skin flare-ups and eczema
โ€ข More frequent colds spreading indoors
โ€ข Fatigue from stale air and low humidity

Itโ€™s not just โ€œwinter bluesโ€ โ€” your environment changes how your body feels.

Simple February fixes people overlook:

We often take care of our heart, our joints, or our immune systemโ€ฆ
but the brain โ€” the control centre for everything โ€” is easy to overlook.

Your brain manages your memory, mood, focus, sleep, hormones, and even how your body heals. Supporting it isnโ€™t just about aging, itโ€™s about feeling clear, sharp, and balanced every day.

Simple ways to support brain health:

Your brain clears waste and resets while you sleep. Poor sleep = foggy thinking, mood changes, and memory issues.

New skills, reading, puzzles, conversations โ€” your brain loves being challenged.

โ€ข B vitamins for energy and neurotransmitter support
โ€ข Magnesium for calm focus and sleep
โ€ข Choline & phosphatidylserine for cognitive support
โ€ข Antioxidants to protect brain cells

You donโ€™t need everything โ€” just the right support for you.

If youโ€™ve been feeling foggy, unfocused, low on mental energy, or just want to be proactive, our pharmacy team can help you find options that fit your needs and lifestyle.

Most people think blood pressure is only about diet or stressโ€ฆ but temperature plays a role too.

When itโ€™s cold, your body naturally narrows blood vessels to keep heat in. This process (vasoconstriction) makes your heart work harder to push blood through tighter vessels โ€” which can lead to higher blood pressure readings in winter.

โ€ข More frequent headaches

โ€ข Higher readings at home
โ€ข Increased strain if they already have hypertension

Itโ€™s not just โ€œthe seasonโ€ โ€” itโ€™s physiology.

What can help support healthy circulation in colder months:

โœ” Dress warmly (especially hands, feet, and head)
โœ” Stay active โ€” even light movement helps
โœ” Limit excess sodium and stay hydrated
โœ” Manage stress levels
โœ” Keep regular medication schedules

These are not replacements for prescribed care, but they may support overall cardiovascular wellness when appropriate.

If youโ€™ve noticed your blood pressure is different in winter, youโ€™re not imagining it โ€” and you donโ€™t have to figure it out alone.

Over the past few years, something meaningful has happened in healthcare.

People started opening up.

Not in exam rooms.
Not through portals or appointments weeks away.
But right at the pharmacy counter.

Weโ€™ve heard it all:

โ€œThis medication doesnโ€™t feel right.โ€

โ€œIโ€™m scared to take this.โ€

โ€œI donโ€™t know who else to ask.โ€

โ€œI just donโ€™t feel like myself.โ€

No appointment required.
No pressure.
No judgment.

Pharmacies quietly became safe spaces โ€” places where honest conversations could happen, where questions were welcomed, and where people felt supported instead of rushed.

At Fordโ€™s Family Pharmacy & Wellness Centre, we believe care starts with listening. Sometimes the most important part of healthcare isnโ€™t whatโ€™s in the bottle โ€” itโ€™s the conversation that happens before and after it.

If youโ€™ve ever felt unsure, overwhelmed, or just needed someone to talk things through with โ€” our door is always open.

As we move through 2026, itโ€™s worth reflecting on how much pharmacy care has evolved โ€” especially over the past year.

One of the biggest shifts we saw in 2025 was the growing role of artificial intelligence in personalized medicine. Not in replacing pharmacists โ€” but in supporting better, more informed care using more data

๐—”๐—œ ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ด๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—น๐˜๐—ต๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—บ๐˜€:
๐Ÿง  Identify patterns in how people respond to medications
๐ŸŽฏ Better understand why a medication works well for one person and not another
โฑ๏ธ Accelerate how new therapies and formulations are developed

What this really means is more personalization โ€” and fewer โ€œone-size-fits-allโ€ approaches.

At Fordโ€™s Family Pharmacy & Wellness Centre, weโ€™ve always believed good care starts with understanding the individual. These advancements simply reinforced what pharmacists have known all along: the more tailored the approach, the better the outcome.

As pharmacy continues to evolve in 2026, our focus remains the same โ€” combining experience, science, and thoughtful guidance to support your health.

Same medication. Same dose. Very different experience.

Thatโ€™s why at Fordโ€™s Family Pharmacy & Wellness Centre, we donโ€™t just look at what youโ€™re taking โ€” we look at how itโ€™s delivered and whether it fits your body and lifestyle.

If a medication hasnโ€™t felt quite right, or youโ€™re dealing with unwanted effects, it may not be the drug itself โ€” it could be the form.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Talk to your pharmacist. Small changes can make a big difference.

Weโ€™ve had a lot of great questions lately about Cravv, and we love that people are taking the time to learn more before starting their quit journey. So letโ€™s talk about it clearly and honestly.

๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—–๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐˜ƒ?

Cravv is a ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—น, ๐—ป๐—ผ๐—ป-๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฒ ๐˜€๐˜‚๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ designed to help support people who are reducing or quitting smoking by ๐—ฐ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด๐˜€, ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€, ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—ถ๐˜-๐—ฑ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ด๐—ฒ๐˜€.driven urges.

It does not replace ni****ne in the body like patches or gum do.
Instead, it works by supporting the nervous system and helping reduce the intensity of cravings that come from stress, routine, and emotional triggers.

๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—–๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐˜ƒ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜

Cravv is not a โ€œmagic pillโ€ and it doesnโ€™t force you to quit overnight.
Quitting smoking is complex โ€” physical, mental, emotional, and habitual โ€” and no single tool works the same way for everyone.

Cravv is best thought of as support, not pressure.

How Cravv fits into a quit plan

โ€ข As additional support with prescription options like bupropion (Zyban) or varenicline (Champix)
โ€ข During stressful periods when cravings tend to spike

For some, it helps reduce the โ€œedgeโ€ that makes quitting feel overwhelming. For others, it supports consistency and confidence.

We donโ€™t believe smoking cessation should be one-size-fits-all.
Everyoneโ€™s history, habits, and goals are different.

โ€ข Have tried quitting before and struggled with stress-driven cravings
โ€ข Want a non-ni****ne support option
โ€ข Are cutting back gradually instead of stopping all at once
โ€ข Need help managing urges tied to routines, not just withdrawal

๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—บ๐—ผ๐˜€๐˜ ๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜ ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—พ๐˜‚๐—ถ๐˜๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด

The most effective quit plans are the ones that feel realistic and supported, not rushed or forced.

Thatโ€™s why our role isnโ€™t just to hand you a product โ€” itโ€™s to talk through:
โ€ข What youโ€™ve tried before
โ€ข What worked (and what didnโ€™t)
โ€ข Your stress levels, routines, and triggers
โ€ข Which tools make sense for you

Sometimes that includes Cravv. Sometimes it doesnโ€™t. And thatโ€™s okay.

If youโ€™re curious

If youโ€™ve been asking questions, feeling unsure, or just want clarity โ€” come talk to us. No pressure, no judgment, no sales pitch.

Whether youโ€™re quitting, cutting back, or just thinking about it, weโ€™re here to help you make informed, supported decisions.

Now that the holidays have settled and routines are finding their rhythm again, January is a great time to check in with the basics โ€” not to overhaul your life, but to support your body so it can work with you each day.

A few simple habits can go a long way toward helping you feel more focused, energized, and balanced:

๐——๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—น๐˜† ๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—น๐˜๐—ต ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—ถ๐˜๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐˜๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ
โ€ข Start your day hydrated โ€” even a glass of water makes a difference
โ€ข Eat regularly and include protein to support energy and focus
โ€ข Get outside when you can โ€” light and movement help reset your rhythm
โ€ข Aim for consistent sleep, even if itโ€™s not perfect

โ€ข Magnesium for muscle function, stress, and sleep
โ€ข B vitamins to support energy and mental clarity
โ€ข Omega-3s for brain, heart, and overall wellness

Being โ€œ๐—ฒ๐—ณ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜โ€ in daily life often starts with not being deficient in the basics your body relies on.

If youโ€™re not sure where to start, thatโ€™s okay โ€” you donโ€™t need a shelf full of supplements. A short conversation with your pharmacist can help identify what actually makes sense for you.

Weโ€™re here to help you build a foundation that supports your day-to-day life โ€” realistically, thoughtfully, and at your pace.

As we step into 2026, we want to take a moment to thank you โ€” our customers, friends, and community โ€” for trusting us, supporting us, and allowing us to be part of your health journey.

A new year doesnโ€™t have to start with pressure or perfection. Itโ€™s simply a chance to keep moving forward, one small, thoughtful step at a time. Whether that means asking more questions, taking better care of yourself, or just showing yourself a little more grace โ€” weโ€™re here to support you every step of the way.

From all of us at Fordโ€™s Family Pharmacy & Wellness Centre, we wish you a year filled with good health, peace of mind, and moments that truly matter.

Happy New Year! ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ’š
We look forward to seeing you in 2026.

As the year winds down and we head toward New Yearโ€™s, thereโ€™s a lot of talk about resolutions, fresh starts, and big changes.

But hereโ€™s a little reminder from all of us at Fordโ€™s:
You donโ€™t need a calendar date to take care of yourself.

Small steps today can matter just as much as big plans tomorrow. Whether itโ€™s drinking a little more water, getting outside for a short walk, asking a question about your health, or simply being a bit kinder to yourself โ€” it all counts.

Weโ€™ve seen it time and time again. The most meaningful changes often start quietly, not on January 1st, but in moments just like this.

As we head into the New Year, weโ€™re here to support you with guidance, encouragement, and care that fits you, at whatever pace you choose.

Hereโ€™s to ending the year gently and starting the next one feeling supported, not rushed. ๐Ÿ’š
