In honor of Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, we’re resharing Tara’s story. 💙

After losing her husband to colon cancer, Tara made a lifechanging decision — shifting from emergency nursing to endoscopy so she could help others through screening, early detection and education.

Today, she reminds us why this month matters:

Screenings save lives. Early detection changes outcomes. And if something doesn’t feel right, it’s worth getting checked.

Thank you, Tara, for turning personal loss into purpose, and for helping protect so many families in our community.

If you’re due for a screening, make the call. 💙

“My Lp(a) is high. Now what?”

Nuvance Health interventional cardiologist Dr. Intwala recently joined The Dusty Muffins to help break down what lipoprotein(a) is and what actually happens if your Lp(a) test comes back elevated.

In this conversation, they walk through the medication options that *may* be considered and why there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. Depending on overall cardiovascular risk, providers may look at statins, non-statin oral medications or injectable therapies that help lower LDL cholesterol and, in some cases, Lp(a). 💊💉

Here’s what many people don’t realize:

Lp(a) is still a relatively new focus in cardiology. While we understand what elevated levels can signal, clinical trials are ongoing to better understand how lowering Lp(a) impacts long-term heart health and outcomes. 🔬📊

If you think your levels may be high, start the conversation with your healthcare provider. Ask about testing. Stay informed. Knowledge is often the first step toward prevention. ❤️

Myth-busting viral winter wellness hacks with Dr. Guttmann, Part 3 ❄️

Oil pulling, vitamin D supplements and hot water are often shared as quick ways to “boost” your immune system. But what does the science actually say?

Dr. Guttmann explains where evidence supports certain approaches, including when a low dose of vitamin D may make sense, and why most quick fixes aren’t the answer.

The takeaway: a strong immune system isn’t built on trends. It’s built on consistent, proven habits.

Watch the final part of our immune myth series and let us know if you’ve tried any of these. ⬇️
