Stress: The Signal You Shouldn’t Ignore. 🧠

We often think of stress as “just part of life” — but it’s actually your body’s way of telling you something needs attention.

Prolonged stress triggers the release of cortisol and adrenaline, hormones that can keep your body in “fight or flight” mode. Over time, this can affect your heart health, raise blood pressure, disrupt sleep, weaken the immune system, and even contribute to weight gain and digestive issues.

The good news? Stress is manageable — and recognizing it early is the first step.

Incorporating small, consistent habits like daily movement, deep breathing exercises, balanced nutrition, and quality sleep can help regulate your body’s stress response. Staying connected with supportive people and making time for activities you enjoy also play a powerful role.

If stress has been weighing on you, don’t wait until it impacts your health. Your healthcare provider can help you identify root causes and create a personalized plan to protect your mental and physical well-being! 🩺

👁️ Your Eyes Deserve a Closer Look

August is National Eye Exam Month - the perfect time to prioritize your vision and overall health.

A comprehensive eye exam does more than update your prescription; it can reveal early signs of serious conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure - often before symptoms appear.

Routine eye exams every 1–2 years help protect your vision, catch health issues early, and give you peace of mind.

Everyone’s needs are different- talk with your doctor to find out what screenings make sense for you!

☀️ Heat Exhaustion vs. Heat Stroke: Know the Signs

As temperatures climb, so does your risk of heat-related illness - especially during outdoor activities or prolonged sun exposure. Knowing the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke can help you act fast and stay safe.

Heat exhaustion happens when your body overheats but is still trying to cool itself down - through sweating. You might feel dizzy, nauseous, weak, or get a headache. It’s your body’s early warning to rest, cool off, and hydrate.

Heat stroke is much more serious. It means your body can no longer regulate its temperature. Sweating stops, body temperature rises quickly, and symptoms like confusion, rapid heartbeat, or even fainting can set in. This is a medical emergency - call 911 right away.

🧊 When possible, stay in the shade, take breaks indoors, and hydrate regularly - especially during the hottest parts of the day.

Whether you're working, exercising, or just enjoying the sunshine, keep these signs in mind and listen to your body.

☀️ July is UV Safety Month - and a great time to focus on protecting the skin you’re in.

Ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun can cause long-term skin damage, premature aging, and increase your risk of skin cancer - even on cloudy days or during short trips outside. Thankfully, a few simple habits can make a big difference.

✅ Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher)
✅ Reapply every 2 hours - or after swimming or sweating
✅ Wear UV-blocking sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat
✅ Stick to the shade when possible, especially between 10 AM - 4 PM
✅ Don’t forget spots like your ears, scalp, and hands

Whether you're walking your dog, working outside, or heading to the beach - your skin deserves protection.

☀️ Sun safety isn’t just for vacations - it’s for everyday life. Start with these easy tips, and share this post with someone who could use a reminder to protect their skin this summer!🧴🕶️

☀️ Ready for the heat? Here’s your summer health checklist.
Summer brings sunshine, outdoor fun, and travel - but it also comes with seasonal health risks that are easy to overlook. Here’s a simple guide to help you stay safe and well as temperatures rise:

Sun Protection
Sunscreen is a must, but don’t stop there. When possible, stay out of direct sun between 10 AM and 4 PM. Choose a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ and reapply often, especially if you’re sweating or swimming. Add sunglasses with UV protection and a wide-brim hat to keep your eyes and skin safer in the sun.

Hydration & Heat Safety
Drink more water than usual—especially on hot or active days - and wear light, breathable clothing. Try to limit time in direct heat when you can, and watch for signs of heat exhaustion like dizziness, heavy sweating, or nausea. Certain medications or health conditions can increase heat sensitivity, so check in with your doctor if needed.

Outdoor & Nature Safety
Bug bites and scratches can turn into bigger issues if ignored. Use insect repellent, check for ticks after time in tall grass or wooded areas, and clean minor scrapes from hiking or swimming. Avoid standing water to reduce mosquito exposure, and cover food and trash when dining outdoors.

Travel Health
Before heading out of town, double-check that you’ve packed all medications - and keep them cool if heat-sensitive. Travel-size sunscreen and a simple first aid kit can go a long way. If you're going far, know where to seek care if something comes up, and make sure you’re up to date on any recommended vaccines.

Water & Recreation Safety
Never swim alone and always supervise kids near water - even if they're strong swimmers. Wear water shoes to protect your feet on trails, docks, or rocky lakebeds, and make sure to hydrate before and after outdoor activity. Treat and cover any scrapes or bites promptly to prevent infection.

A few simple steps can help you make the most of your summer—safely. If you have questions or need support, don’t hesitate to reach out. 🩺💬
