🚨 Flu Update for Our Community 🚨

We are currently seeing a significant flu outbreak across the Southeast, and many patients are hearing the term “Super Flu.” Here’s what that means—and what you can do to protect yourself and your family.

🦠 What is “Super Flu”?
“Super Flu” is not a new virus, but a term being used to describe particularly aggressive flu strains that are spreading quickly this season. These strains often cause more intense symptoms, can last longer, and may lead to complications—especially in children, older adults, and those with chronic conditions.

🤒 Common Symptoms May Include:
• High fever and chills
• Severe body aches and fatigue
• Headache
• Sore throat and cough
• Nasal congestion
• Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea (more common in children)

🛡️ What You Can Do Now:
✔️ Get evaluated early—antiviral medications work best within the first 48 hours
✔️ Stay home if you’re sick to prevent spreading illness
✔️ Wash hands frequently and disinfect commonly touched surfaces
✔️ Stay hydrated and rest
✔️ Wear a mask if you are ill or caring for someone who is
✔️ Seek medical care right away if symptoms worsen or breathing becomes difficult

👩‍⚕️ We’re Here to Help
At Clayton Family Medicine & Wellness, we are here to support our patients through flu season with in-office visits, testing, and treatment options, as well as telehealth consultations when appropriate.

If you or a loved one is feeling unwell, don’t wait it out—early care can make a big difference.

📞 Call us today to schedule an appointment.
Your health and well-being are always our priority. 💙

Today is the day we all pause and think about what we hope to accomplish in the year ahead. For many of us, that list includes exercising more, losing weight, taking better care of ourselves, and maybe finally tackling a few home projects left unfinished last year.

This year, we encourage you to put your health and wellness at the top of that list.

At Clayton Family Medicine & Wellness, our goal is to help you feel your best and stay well—not just today, but all year long. We added our wellness services with one purpose in mind: to improve the lives of our patients and strengthen the health of our community.

Whether your goals include feeling stronger, having more energy, managing your weight, or simply taking better care of yourself, we’re here to support you every step of the way. We offer both in-office and telehealth consultations, making it easier than ever to get started.

✨ Find Your Balance with BioTe® Pellet Therapy ✨

At Clayton Family Medicine and Wellness, we understand that when your hormones are out of balance, everything can feel off—energy, mood, sleep, focus, and even weight management.

BioTe® pellet therapy is a natural, plant-based hormone replacement option designed to help restore balance from the inside out. Tiny pellets are placed just beneath the skin, delivering consistent, customized hormone support—no daily pills, creams, or patches.

🌿 Benefits many patients experience include:
• Improved energy and mental clarity
• Better sleep and mood stability
• Increased muscle tone and metabolism
• Reduced hot flashes and night sweats
• Enhanced overall sense of well-being

BioTe isn’t about masking symptoms—it’s about addressing the root cause and helping your body function the way it was meant to.

If you’re feeling “off” and can’t quite explain why, it may be time to look at your hormones. 💛
📞 Call us today to schedule a consultation and see if BioTe pellet therapy is right for you.

Your health. Your balance. Your life—well lived.

💧 Recovering From a Virus? IV Therapy Can Help Support Your Healing 💧

Virus season can leave you feeling depleted, weak, and slow to bounce back—even after the worst symptoms are gone.

IV Therapy can be a helpful option during recovery by delivering hydration and essential nutrients directly into your bloodstream, allowing your body to absorb them quickly and efficiently.

Benefits of IV Therapy during viral recovery may include:
✔ Rehydration after fever, vomiting, or poor intake
✔ Support for immune function
✔ Improved energy and reduced fatigue
✔ Help replacing vitamins and minerals lost during illness
✔ Gentler absorption when your stomach is still sensitive

IV Therapy does not treat or cure viruses, but it can help your body recover more comfortably and support overall wellness as you heal.

At Clayton Family Medicine & Wellness, IV Therapy is provided under medical supervision and tailored to your individual needs.

🩺 Not sure if IV Therapy is right for you?
📞 Call our office—we’re happy to help guide you.

Your recovery matters. Let us help you feel like yourself again.

🦠 Virus Season Is Here—Know When to Be Seen 🩺

Cold, flu, COVID, RSV… virus season is in full swing, and it can be hard to know when to ride it out at home and when it’s time to call your doctor.

You may be okay to rest, hydrate, and monitor symptoms at home if you have:
• Mild fever
• Runny nose or congestion
• Sore throat
• Mild cough
• Body aches that improve with rest

But you should schedule an appointment or seek care if you experience:
• Fever lasting more than 3 days or over 102°
• Shortness of breath or chest pain
• Severe or worsening cough
• Persistent vomiting or dehydration
• Extreme fatigue or confusion
• Symptoms that improve, then suddenly get worse

For children, seniors, pregnant patients, or those with chronic conditions, it’s always best to check in sooner rather than later.

At Clayton Family Medicine & Wellness, we’re here to help you sort through symptoms, test when needed, and create a plan so you can heal safely and confidently.

📞 If you’re unsure—call us.
🩺 If you’re sick—let us help.
❤️ Your health is our priority.
