The flu is getting nasty right now, with many referring to it as a "super flu" outbreak. It is causing serious illness right now across the country, and this map can help you get an idea of the activity level in each state.

This is definitely something to take seriously, especially if you or a loved one is at high risk, such as children, elderly, and those with compromised immune symptoms.

You can buy inexpensive test kits at your local pharmacy, Walmart, and other stores to test, or you can visit your healthcare provider or local urgent care.

Symptoms can be quite strong with this flu, including severe body aches, persistent fevers (101-103 F+), sore throat, cough, congestion, runny nose, sneezing, headache, muffled hearing sensation, GI upset (nausea, vomiting, cramps, diarrhea), and more.


Make sure you drink plenty of fluids (electrolyte drinks, soups, water, iv hydration, salt therapy). Pain relievers/fever reducers such as Tylenol or Ibuprofen may provide some relief (consult with your healthcare provider).

NOTE: Avoid aspirin or Pepto-Bismol when you have the flu or other viral illness, especially in children or teens due to the risk of developing Reye's Syndrome.

Also, antivirals such as Tamiflu must generally be started within 48 hours of symptoms for them to work fully, which is important to know if you are at high risk.

Please be safe!!

Perimenopause is wild 😅
Some days are rough, some days are better—but I’m grateful I can manage my own HRT and actually listen to my body.

I’m doing better than I was a month ago, and I’ll take that win.
One month at a time… now if I could just go back to sleep 💤

To every woman navigating this season—you’re not alone.
Let’s support each other 💛 Share what’s helped you, what hasn’t, or just vent. We’re in this together.

What symptoms have you dealt with—or what’s finally improving for you?
Let’s support each other. We’re not crazy, we’re hormonal.

🛡️ Prevention Saves Lives

A new study in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology shows that [insert exact intervention or risk factor] can reduce the risk of [disease/outcome] by X% in a population of Y people, over Z years/months.

✅ Why this matters:
• Even a modest change (like lowering blood pressure, improving diet, increasing activity) can lead to large gains in health and many fewer cases of disease.
• Prevention doesn’t just save money—it saves heartache, improves quality of life, and is easier than treating once disease has set in.

💡 What you can do:
• Get regular checkups & screenings
• Focus on healthy habits: nutritious food, staying active, managing stress
• Be aware of risk factors: family history, weight, diet, etc.

Despite improvements over the past two decades, underdiagnosis and suboptimal glycaemic management of diabetes remain major challenges globally, particularly in low-income and middle-income countries.
