PLEASE STAY HOME, PLEASE

From a provider ~ the testing is best for the critically ill, not just anyone with a MANAGEABLE cough!!

If we test you and you are not critical, it'll take days to result! And there isn't anything we will do for you besides have you watch & treat the symptoms with over the counter medications and have you STAY AT HOME!

If you think you have the virus & have a fever with a cough that is manageable at home, take over the counter medicine as directed on the box, drink your water, eat your fruits/veggies/nuts/beans and rest!

If it becomes a little more difficult to breath, less manageable, higher fevers, CALL YOUR PROVIDER, they will most likely schedule a telehealth visit over the phone to determine proper care!

If it is UNMANAGEABLE at home, you can not eat/take meds, get out of bed, go to the bathroom, extreme shortness of breath, confusion, that's when to go to the ER!

PLEASE STAY HOME!!! Don't panic, just stay home!

Up until recently (after a talk with one of my very best, super smart friends) I had been carrying anger towards our , the FDA, our specialty associations & grocery stores for allowing & causing, food, beverages, health products & numerous common supplies "normal people" buy.

I wondered, we live in the greatest land in the world, how can our government allow this? report manufactures of cancer causing items are protected under the "consumer common sense" clause. Do you look at ingredients, research the warnings of ingredients, before buying something? ME NEITHER, until now, 8 years of higher education later and a responsibility to guide and treat patient's in my practice... as well as my for own personal health.

My friend is military, fighting for our country, our , and the freedom of those to come. I bless and thank her, and all military, always for their fight and service!

: Want 12 kids? Have 12 kids! What to start your own ? Get to it! Want to drink containing (known to cause diabetes and cancer)? Drink a six pack or 2 a day if you want!

What an , that was! She also pointed out we live in a wonderful where there is nearly always a library within miles of where we live as well as many free online libraries (that even offer free e-books)! Free to research, and make about raising 12 children, learn the process of starting a new business and learn about every ingredient and product we GET TO CHOOSE to use day to day!

I was told from a young age, ... and a couple decades later, that finally makes complete sense!

Sure, can be cheaper and easier to access than healthy food, but what you save now... be prepared to spend later in life on insulin for , medications & surgeries to manage (not cure) & you've developed.

With & , everyone has the to rid the body of disease & improve health adding to your !

Got heart burn/acid reflux?

~ home tip without medicine: remain upright a minimum of 30 minutes after eating or drinking anything other than water and do not eat within 2 hours of bed 🙃

1. the valve between the esophagus and stomach weakens with age 🙄
2. Our stomach creates acid to digest what we put in our mouth 🌮
3. Remaining upright allows the food or drink to empty into our intestines 😺
4. Reclining or laying down creates the opportunity for acid to defy gravity and sneak back up through the weak valve, into the esophagus (in our throat) causing the burning feeling 🙀
5. Try to not eat 2 hours before going to bed, this will make sure the food is far enough down into the intestines that it won't have the opportunity to come back up to that weak valve and wake you up in the middle of the night with heartburn 🤢
6. An after dinner walk will help with digestion 😴

If you try this and it does not work, talk with your provider! If you don't have one, call for an appointment with me!

Are you thirsty all the time?
Losing weight without trying?
More hungry than usual?
Going p*e more often (itching or cloudy)?
Tingling pains in your feet and legs?
Seeing spots or vision changes?

Testing for Diabetes is a simple poke of the finger that results in 3 minutes!

Managing diabetes will be a new way of life for most... incorporating new foods into your diet and minimizing carbohydrates, however catching it early can save you from blindness, dialysis and the risk of losing toes or feet!

Medications for diabetes can be as simple as a pill twice a day, some require a daily or weekly injection into the fatty part of the belly.

Diabetes may be more likely if you have a family history of it... if mom or dad has it! Also, it can hit at any age!!

If you have these symptoms, talk with your provider about them.

If you don't have a provider, I can help!! Schedule a New Patient Visit with me! We can beat diabetes together!
