January is Thyroid Awareness Month. Thyroid conditions often go undiagnosed and can affect energy levels, weight, mood and more. A simple blood test can help identify thyroid issues and explain symptoms like fatigue or weight changes. Learn more https://www.aace.com/disease-and-conditions/thyroid/all-about-thyroid.

Contact your primary care provider to discuss your symptoms and whether thyroid testing is right for you. If additional specialty care is needed, our Endocrinology Center is here to help.

Remember the five steps! Wet – Lather – Scrub (for at least 20 seconds) – Rinse – Dry. https://www.cdc.gov/clean-hands/about/

GERD Awareness Week kicks off just in time for Thanksgiving. As holiday meals get bigger, so does the chance of heartburn and reflux.

Simple steps can make a big difference:
- Choose smaller, balanced portions.
- Limit high-fat and spicy foods.
- Avoid late-night eating.
- Stay upright after meals.
- Talk with your provider if symptoms are frequent or worsening.

If reflux is affecting your daily life, our providers can help. We offer a full range of treatment options from lifestyle guidance and medication management to advanced surgical solutions when needed. To learn more about managing GERD, visit: https://ow.ly/MMgX50XxNTC
