January is Thyroid Awareness Month

Your thyroid may be small, but it plays a big role in your overall health, helping regulate metabolism, heart rate, body temperature, and energy levels.

“The thyroid gland produces hormones that impact many essential functions in the body,” says Tessa Gingerich, PA, with the OCH Goodman Family Clinic. “When it isn’t functioning properly, it can contribute to a wide range of health concerns.”

Fatigue, unexplained weight changes, or sensitivity to heat or cold may be signs your thyroid needs to be checked. A simple blood test and wellness exam can help identify potential issues early.

If you have symptoms, a family history of thyroid disease, or questions about your thyroid health, talk with your primary care provider or schedule a wellness exam today.

As winter settles in, it’s common to feel a little more tired or unmotivated. But for some, seasonal changes can lead to Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), a real and treatable form of depression linked to reduced daylight.

“While the ‘winter blues’ are common, we shouldn’t minimize when symptoms start to interfere with daily life,” says OCH’s own Jackie Day, LCSW. “That’s when seeking support really matters.” Seasonal depression can impact mood, sleep, appetite, energy, and motivation.

If you or someone you love is struggling this winter, you’re not alone, and support is here. Read our latest blog to learn more about symptoms, risk factors, as well as when and how to seek help.

January is National Blood Donor Month! We are thankful for the generous donors who make lifesaving care possible for patients in our community. Did you know someone in the United States needs blood every two seconds, and a single donation can save up to three lives?

During the winter months, blood supplies are often lower, making your decision to donate even more important. The Community Blood Center of the Ozarks is the sole blood provider for area hospitals. To find a donation center near you, visit cbco.org/donate-blood.
