When stress builds up it can take a toll on our mind and body – so let’s take a moment to check in with yourself and others this week.

October marks National Cholesterol Month! Lets talk about the silent risk…

❌Myth: “I feel fine so my cholesterol must be fine”

There is no better time to get you cholesterol checked. Have you had your cholesterol tested and checked in the last 5 years?

Three things you can do today…
