Weight Loss Tips

If you're aiming to lose weight, focus on nourishing, balanced meals and regular movement. Emphasize whole foods, stay hydrated, get good sleep, and build habits that help you stay consistent.

Eating habits

Build balanced plates: Include lean protein, vegetables, healthy fats, and whole-grain carbohydrates to stay satisfied longer.

Choose mostly whole foods: Fresh produce, whole grains, and minimally processed options are better for steady energy.

Limit added sugars and ultra-processed snacks: Cut back on sugary drinks, sweets, and fried or highly processed foods.

Boost fiber: Vegetables, legumes, and whole grains help digestion and keep you full.

Eat mindfully: Slow down, focus on your meal, and pay attention to hunger and fullness cues.

Watch portions: Use smaller dishes or pre-portion your meals to avoid overeating.

Stay hydrated: Drinking water throughout the day—especially before meals—can help curb overeating and support metabolism.

Physical activity

Mix cardio with strength work: Activities like brisk walking, cycling, or swimming paired with resistance training help burn calories and protect muscle.

Do what you enjoy: Choose exercise you genuinely like so it’s easier to stick with.

Move more overall: Take the stairs, walk more often, or stay active through chores and errands.

Plan your workouts: Setting aside specific times increases follow-through.

Start gradually: If you're new to exercise, build up slowly to avoid injury and keep motivation high.

Lifestyle habits

Prioritize sleep: Most adults do best with 6–8 hours per night, which helps regulate appetite and energy.

Set achievable goals: Aim for gradual, sustainable progress rather than quick fixes.

Expect setbacks: One off-day doesn’t ruin your plan—just resume healthy habits at your next opportunity.

Seek support: Friends, family, or groups can help you stay accountable.

Check in with a healthcare professional: If you have health concerns or medical conditions, get guidance before making major changes.

Holiday gatherings often bring an uptick in respiratory illnesses. Flu and RSV cases are rising, and COVID-19 and strep are also expected to increase. Here are the essentials to keep in mind:

1. Most people can recover at home

If you're generally healthy, rest, fluids, and over-the-counter medicines are usually enough. Testing rarely changes treatment unless you’re at higher risk, such as being immunocompromised, pregnant, over 65, or having significant medical conditions.

2. Online checkups can provide quick support

If you need guidance for coughs, congestion, or other respiratory symptoms, many healthcare systems offer online assessments and virtual visits. These services are available around the clock, often with short wait times, and clinicians can help determine whether you need testing, prescribe medications when appropriate, and keep your records updated.

3. Use home antigen tests for COVID-19

Rapid tests are easy, fast, and widely available. You only need to notify your primary care clinician if you want treatment. Positive results can be self-reported through the patient portal.

4. Antiviral isn't necessary for most people

Antiviral medication helps mainly those at high risk for complications. Low-risk patients typically see no benefit, and side effects may outweigh advantages. Coverage varies, so check your insurance.

5. Prevention is your best defense

Wash your hands, avoid close contact with sick individuals, and stay up to date on vaccines. If you’re ill, stay home until you improve and mask if you must be around others.
