Back-to-school season is here, which means the lunchbox routine is officially back. We know how tough it can be to pack something that is healthy, fun and still picky-eater approved. 🎒🙃

The good news is you don’t need a full lunchbox overhaul. Just a few small swaps can make a big difference — giving kids the flavors they already love with the nutrition they need to stay focused and energized at school.

Swipe through our back-to-school lunch swaps for ideas that keep kids happy and parents sane. Because little changes can make a big difference (and fewer half-eaten lunches coming back home).

Creating healthy habits for a successful school year starts with simple choices. Click below to learn more.✨📚🎒

GLP-1s and bariatric surgery can both help with weight loss, but they work in very different ways. ⚖️

GLP-1s are prescription medications that act on your brain, digestion, and cravings. They help you feel full longer, make high-calorie foods less tempting and support steady weight loss while you’re on them.

Bariatric surgery, on the other hand, physically changes the structure of your digestive system. It changes the way your body feels hunger and fullness — and can even start improving type 2 diabetes in a matter of days.

Both options deliver proven results, but each comes with its own timeline, ongoing care, and lifestyle commitments.

But the best choice? The one that fits your health, goals and long-term plan. 🫶🏼📈🏃🏼‍♀️

They say “just a nurse” like it’s a small thing. We’re sharing this because it’s not.

Nurses are the ones who explain the scary stuff in ways you understand. Who stay a minute longer so you don’t feel alone. Who show up in moments big and small — bringing comfort, clarity and care without asking for recognition.

This post is for them. The ones who carry so much and show up with heart.

To every nurse who makes the impossible feel possible — we see you and thank you. 💜

E-bikes are becoming a popular way for Connecticut teens to get around. But, the state is seeing more crashes that have led to serious injuries — and even fatalities.

To help protect young riders, Connecticut is introducing stricter speed limits and updated e-bike laws. These changes are meant to keep everyone safer on the road. Safety also starts with the steps kids and parents follow before and during each ride.🛡️

Wearing a helmet, following traffic laws, using lights and reflectors and staying alert can help prevent accidents. ✅

Scroll for tips to help keep kids safe on e-bikes.
