Welcome back to our weekly series highlighting what’s changing each ’Ber month week — and how to adapt. ✨

The good news? Small habits make a big difference. From changing into “home clothes” after school to creating a quick handwashing routine before meals, these little adjustments can help keep germs from spreading at home. 🧼🧡

👉🏼 Swipe through for our top tips to protect your family’s health this September — and stay tuned for Week 3’s shift and how to adjust.

Roughly 9% of U.S. adults consume energy drinks on a daily basis. While many people reach for them to stay alert or boost performance, these beverages contain more than just caffeine. Ingredients like guarana, taurine and other stimulants can also raise blood pressure, increase heart rate and add extra strain to the cardiovascular system. ❤️‍🔥⚡

Dr. Jafar, interventional cardiologist at Nuvance Health, part of Health, was recently featured in Magazine to discuss these concerns — especially for individuals managing hypertension. His insights highlight why it’s important to look beyond caffeine and consider the full list of ingredients in energy drinks.

The key takeaway: moderation matters. Being mindful of what’s in your energy drink can make a real difference for long-term heart health.

From desperation to confidence.

For months, Jerry could barely walk. His legs gave out without warning, leaving him searching for answers that felt impossible to find. Eventually, he learned he had a rare spinal dural arteriovenous fistula (SDAVF) — a diagnosis that only made the journey more daunting.

That’s when he found neurosurgeon Dr. Joshua Marcus at Norwalk Hospital. For the first time, Jerry felt truly seen, heard and guided. With advanced spine surgery and a “top-notch, impressive” care team, he not only regained his strength but also his hope.

Today, Jerry is looking forward to retirement, life with his wife of 50 years, their seven children and ten grandchildren — and, of course, getting back to the golf and pickleball courts.🏌🏓

Jerry is sharing his experience to help others understand how important it is to advocate for yourself and find expert, compassionate care.
