We wish you a happy and healthy holiday season.
In healthcare, time off is often limited. This holiday season, we’ve chosen to take an additional day and practice what we recommend. This brief pause will enable us to return recharged and even better equipped to serve our community.
We hope you also take advantage of holiday season to recharge, rejuvenate, rest and recover.
Rest is medicine.
Here is how time off supports your well-being:
▪️↓ Cortisol (Stress Hormone)
Reduces HPA-axis overactivation, lowering stress, blood pressure, and metabolic strain.
▪️↑ Oxytocin (Connection & Bonding)
Enhanced through social interaction and relaxation, promoting emotional stability and improved vagal tone.
▪️↑ Serotonin & Dopamine (Mood & Motivation)
Leisure, sunlight, and enjoyment elevate mood, energy, and cognitive clarity.
▪️↑ Melatonin & Growth Hormone (Sleep & Repair)
Improved sleep quality supports cellular recovery, tissue repair, and metabolic reset.
▪️↓ Inflammatory Cytokines
Lower stress improves immune regulation and reduces chronic systemic inflammation.
▪️↑ Testosterone & Hormonal Balance
Recovery time reduces cortisol dominance, supporting s*x hormone normalization and vitality.
▪️Improved Cardiovascular & Cognitive Health. Time off decreases burnout risk, enhances neuroplasticity, and is linked to lower rates of heart disease.
