🎃👻 Laurelle Family Health & Wellness loves all of our little ghouls and goblins! 🕸️🧙‍♀️

As you head out tomorrow for a night of tricks, treats, and spooky fun, here are a few Halloween safety tips to help keep your little monsters safe and smiling:

🍬 Candy Safety:

Wait until you’re home to check all treats before eating them.

Toss anything that’s unwrapped or looks suspicious.

Watch out for potential choking hazards for younger children.

🚦 Trick-or-Treating Tips:

Make sure costumes fit well and don’t drag on the ground.

Add reflective tape or glow sticks so kids can be seen in the dark.

Carry a flashlight and always cross streets at corners or crosswalks.

If driving, go extra slow and keep an eye out for excited little goblins darting across the street!

At Laurelle Family Health & Wellness, we care about your family’s health and safety — not just today, but every day. 💜

Have a safe, sweet, and spooktacular Halloween from all of us at Laurelle Family Health & Wellness! 🎃🕷️👻

💉 How Safe Are Compounded GLP-1 Medications vs. the FDA-Approved Shots?

Short answer: FDA-approved GLP-1 medications—such as Semaglutide (Ozempic®, Wegovy®) and Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®, Zepbound®)—are generally considered safer because they’ve been thoroughly tested for safety, dosing accuracy, and effectiveness in large clinical trials. These branded medications are made under strict manufacturing standards and are FDA-approved.

Compounded GLP-1 products, on the other hand, are not FDA-approved. While some compounding pharmacies are reputable, the FDA has warned that compounded GLP-1 formulas may vary in strength, purity, and sterility.

⚠️ Why the Difference Matters

Quality & Consistency: FDA-approved brands are produced under exacting quality controls. Compounded versions can differ in potency or formulation.

Dosing Risks: The FDA has received reports of overdoses and hospitalizations from incorrect dosing or labeling errors in compounded products.

Counterfeit Concerns: Some online sources sell counterfeit or contaminated products—posing serious health risks.

🩺 What You Should Do

Stick with FDA-approved options when possible—they’re backed by proven safety and quality standards.

Talk to your provider before considering a compounded product. Ask where it’s made, what safety measures are in place, and how dosing is verified.

Avoid buying online or from social media sellers. If cost or access is a concern, we can help you explore safe manufacturer savings programs or alternatives.

At Laurelle Family Health & Wellness, our team can help you determine if GLP-1 therapy is right for you and guide you toward safe, effective treatment options.

Men’s Health Matters! 💪

At Laurelle Family Health & Wellness, we’re committed to helping men feel their best — inside and out. One key piece of men’s health that often gets overlooked? Testosterone.

Testosterone plays a huge role in energy levels, muscle strength, mood, focus, and even heart health. As men age, testosterone levels naturally decline — but when they dip too low, it can lead to:
⚠️ Fatigue and loss of motivation
⚠️ Weight gain or decreased muscle mass
⚠️ Mood changes or irritability
⚠️ Low libido or sexual performance issues
⚠️ Trouble concentrating or sleeping

The good news? A simple test can tell you where your levels stand. And if your testosterone is low, we can help you find safe, effective solutions to restore balance and get you back to feeling like yourself again.

Don’t ignore the signs — early testing can make a big difference in your long-term health and quality of life.

Take control of your health — because strong men take care of themselves, too. 💪 Catherine Manga

At Laurelle Family Health & Wellness, we want every woman—and every person—to understand the importance of early detection when it comes to breast cancer.
Here are some powerful 2025 statistics:

• An estimated 316,950 women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer this year.

• Additionally, around 59,080 new cases of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), a non-invasive form of breast cancer, are expected.

• Tragically, about 42,170 women will die from breast breast cancer in 2025.

• The lifetime risk for a woman in the U.S. developing breast cancer is about 1 in 8

• The good news: When breast cancer is found at a localized stage (before it spreads), 5-year survival rates are very high.

Why this matters:
Because breast cancer is so common—and because survival improves dramatically with early detection—screening matters. Finding it early gives you the best chance for successful treatment.

What you can do right now:
✅ Schedule your breast health screening (mammogram, clinical breast exam, whatever your provider recommends).
✅ If you notice any changes in your breast tissue (lumps, skin changes, ni**le discharge) don’t wait — call us.
✅ Talk to us about your personal risk factors (family history, genetic concerns, lifestyle) so we can tailor a plan that's right for you.

At Laurelle Family Health & Wellness, we’re here for you.
📞 Call 979-431-5800

Let’s stand together, stay mindful, get screened, and beat breast cancer — early detection is the best detection. Catherine Manga

💙 Men Get Breast Cancer Too — Know the Signs!

Breast cancer isn’t just a women’s disease — men can get it too. About 1 in every 100 breast cancer cases occurs in a man, and because it’s unexpected, it’s often found later.

Men, here’s what to look for:
• A lump or swelling in the chest area
• Skin dimpling or puckering
• Ni**le turning inward
• Redness, scaling, or ni**le discharge

Risk factors include:
Age over 60, family history, BRCA1/BRCA2 gene mutations, high estrogen levels, radiation exposure, and certain genetic conditions.

Early detection saves lives — don’t ignore the signs.
If you notice changes or have concerns, talk to your healthcare provider today.

You’re not alone — awareness, early detection, and support make all the difference.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

This month, let’s all take a moment to pause, breathe, and check in with ourselves. A simple self-exam only takes a few minutes, but it could make a lifetime of difference.

💗 When performing your self-exam, watch for:
• A new lump or thickened area in the breast or underarm
• Changes in size, shape, or appearance of the breast
• Dimpling, puckering, or redness of the skin
• Ni**le discharge or pain

If you notice any of these signs, don’t wait—schedule a visit with a healthcare professional right away.

And remember — don’t stop with yourself. Encourage your friends, sisters, mothers, and coworkers to do the same. Let’s all make the commitment to check in with our loved ones, because no one fights alone.

If you or someone you know is unsure how to perform a breast self-exam, please call us at (979) 431-5800.
We’re here to help. 💕
