You’re not a “difficult” patient
You’re a thoughtful one.

Asking questions doesn’t mean you don’t trust your provider — it means you care deeply about you or your child and your family’s health.

At **Trifecta Medical Group**, we welcome questions.
We explain the *why*.
We respect individual choices.
And we believe good medicine happens when families feel heard.

Judgment-free. Evidence-based. Vaccine-neutral.
Always. 💛

I’ve been pretty open about my own flu vaccine hesitancy over the years. I have always tried to remain open minded and this is why…
I had a sit-down conversation with a friend of mine, Dr. Erik Prentice, PhD (immunology), that genuinely shifted how I think about it.
Here’s the simple concept that stuck with me 👇
All flu viruses are in the same family because they share similarities. The more your immune system is exposed to flu—whether through natural infection or vaccination—the more it learns what “flu” looks like.
That immune memory matters.
So when your body encounters a new or slightly different flu strain, it’s more likely to recognize familiar patterns and mount a faster, stronger response—even if that strain is novel.
This isn’t about fear or pressure.
It’s about understanding how the immune system learns and giving people clear, science-based information so they can make informed choices for themselves and their families.
Questions are always welcome here 🤍 Trifecta Medical Group 502-695-5450

❄️ Cold weather is here—let’s talk about staying warm & staying healthy.

When temperatures drop, it’s not just about being uncomfortable. Cold exposure can increase the risk of hypothermia, worsen chronic conditions, and hit infants and older adults especially hard.

✨ Primary care cold-weather reminders:
• Dress in layers (base + warmth + wind protection)
• Don’t forget hats, gloves, scarves, and warm socks
• Keep your home safely heated (space heaters = use with caution)
• Eat regular meals and stay hydrated—your body needs fuel to stay warm
• Limit time outdoors in extreme cold and take indoor breaks
• Watch for warning signs like intense shivering, confusion, or extreme fatigue

👶👵 Extra care matters for babies, older adults, and anyone with asthma, heart disease, arthritis, or circulation issues. Typically, dress babies, and one extra layer than what you would be comfortable in.

💡 If something doesn’t feel right—or you’re unsure how to protect yourself or your family—reach out to your primary care provider. That’s what we’re here for.

Flu, RSV, COVID — meds + homeopathic options 🤧✨
We get this question daily, so here’s the evidence-based breakdown:
🟦 Tamiflu (oseltamivir)
• May shorten flu symptoms by ~1 day if started within 48 hours
• Most benefit in higher-risk or more severe illness
• Common side effects: nausea, vomiting, neuropsychiatric symptoms
🟦 Xofluza (baloxavir)
• Single-dose antiviral for flu in people over 5 years
• Works best early and may reduce household spread
• Not recommended in pregnancy/breastfeeding
• Avoid dairy or calcium around dosing
🟦 RSV & COVID
• No antiviral or homeopathic cure for most patients
• Treatment is primarily supportive care
🟦 Homeopathic & holistic options (symptom support only)
• Oscillococcinum
• Aconitum, Belladonna, Bryonia, Gelsemium, Arsenicum, Phosphorus
• Honey (over 1 year of age), saline, humidifier, hydration, rest
• Supplements commonly used: elderberry, vitamin C, vitamin D, zinc
➡️ Generally low risk, but limited evidence for prevention or treatment
🤍 At Trifecta Medical Group:
✔️ We are a vaccine-neutral practice
✔️ Families lead decisions — we provide the evidence
✔️ We carry homeopathic & holistic options in stock
✔️ We’re happy to talk through all options

🚨 FLU is everywhere this week🚨

We’re seeing a significant amount of **influenza A** right now across all ages.

**Common symptoms we’re seeing:**
🤒 High fevers (often lasting up to 5 days)
😖 Sore throat
🤧 Cough
🤢 Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
😩 Body aches, headaches & extreme fatigue

💊 What about Tamiflu?

Antivirals like Tamiflu can have a role, but there are limitations:

• Most effective when started **within 24–48 hours** of symptom onset
• Studies show it shortens illness by **~1 day** in otherwise healthy individuals
• It does not consistently prevent complications but may absolutely be recommended for high risk people

Common side effects:
🤢 Nausea
🤮 Vomiting
😵 Headache

Reported neurologic side effects (less common):
🌀 Dizziness
😴 Confusion
😨 Agitation or anxiety
😳 Hallucinations or abnormal behavior

This is why Tamiflu is **not the right choice for everyone** — individualized decision-making matters.

🌿 Supportive, holistic & homeopathic options we often discuss:

✨ **Oscillococcinum (Oscillo)**
✨ **Boiron Influenzinum**
✨ **Boiron Aconitum napellus** (early symptoms, sudden onset)
✨ **Gelsemium** (flu with heavy fatigue & body aches)
✨ **Bryonia** (dry cough, worse with movement)
💧 Hydration & electrolytes
🌬️ Humidification + saline rinses or halotherapy
🍯 Honey for cough (over age 1)
🛌 Rest & nervous-system support
🌡️ Fever management for comfort

📍Bottom line:
Flu can be rough. Antivirals may help some people, while holistic and homeopathic options can support symptom relief and recovery for many. The flu vaccine is still an option to help prevent flu or severe symptoms.
