🚫 Myth: “The flu shot gives you the flu.”
✅ Fact: It doesn’t! The flu shot contains an inactive (killed) virus that cannot cause the flu. Instead, it trains your immune system to recognize and fight off the virus more effectively—so if you’re exposed, you’re much less likely to get seriously sick.

Getting vaccinated is especially important for high-risk groups like those living with:
• Diabetes
• Heart disease
• Asthma or chronic lung conditions
• Older adults & young children

When you protect yourself, you also protect your family, coworkers, and community. 💪

🍂 Flu shots are available now at SSDIC—quick, same-week visits to keep you healthy all season long.

Something balanced is blooming this fall… 🌿

✨ Thoughtful lab testing
✨ Personalized treatment plans
✨ Ongoing support and follow-up care

Because feeling your best—physically, mentally, and emotionally—isn’t just for one season of life, or for one gender.

As the days grow shorter, it’s common to notice a dip in mood, energy, or motivation. For some, these seasonal changes can develop into Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)—but the good news is, you can plan ahead.

Here are simple steps that make a difference:
✨ Get morning light—start your day with a short walk or time by a sunny window.
😴 Keep a steady sleep routine—consistent rest helps regulate mood and energy.
🏃 Move your body daily—gentle movement boosts endorphins and fights sluggishness.
💡 Consider a light therapy box—extra light exposure can mimic sunshine and improve symptoms.
🩺 Talk to us—screening, support, and treatment options are available if symptoms become overwhelming.

You don’t have to wait until winter to start feeling better. 🍂
At SSDIC, we focus on whole-body care—supporting both your physical and emotional health.
