EARLY DETECTION MATTERS

💗 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime.
💗 When breast cancer is found at an early, localized stage, the 5-year survival rate is 99%. (American Cancer Society, 2024)
💗 Mammograms can detect cancer up to 2 years before it can be felt by you or your provider.
💗 Regular screening can reduce breast cancer deaths by 30–40% in women over 40. (National Cancer Institute)
💗 About 85% of breast cancers occur in women with no family history of the disease — meaning screening matters for everyone.

That’s why we’re passionate about prevention at Pueblo Primary Care Clinic.
Early detection gives you options, saves lives, and helps keep our community strong.

Take action this week:
✅ Schedule your annual mammogram
✅ Do your monthly self-breast exam
✅ Talk to your provider about your unique risk factors

Because your health is your power — and early action truly makes a difference. 💪

🎀 Let’s Talk Mammograms 🎀

We know that scheduling a mammogram can feel intimidating — but understanding what to expect can make it easier and less stressful.

A mammogram is a low-dose X-ray that helps detect breast changes long before they can be felt during an exam. It’s one of the most effective tools for early breast cancer detection.

💗 How it works:
A technician gently compresses each breast between two plates to take detailed images. The process only takes a few minutes — and could save your life.

💗 Radiation Risk:
Mammograms use an extremely low amount of radiation — about the same as a short airplane flight (roughly 0.4 mSv).
The benefits of early detection far outweigh this minimal risk.

💗 When to start:
Most women should begin annual mammograms at age 40, or earlier if you have higher risk factors.

Early detection = peace of mind 💕

A Pueblo Favorite That Packs a Punch!
Nothing says fall in Pueblo like roasted chiles! 🌶️ They’re high in Vitamin C to support immunity and contain capsaicin, which may boost metabolism.

👉 Health tip: Add roasted chiles to eggs, stews, or homemade salsa for a spicy, nutrient-rich kick.

How do you like your chiles — mild, medium, or hot? 🔥

🍂 Fuel Your Fall Health with Local Harvest 🍂

Yesterday I stopped by the Holy Cross Abbey Wine Festival in Canon City and was reminded how blessed we are in Pueblo to have so many local fruit and vegetable stands. 🥕🍎

As we head into colder months, now is the perfect time to stock up on seasonal produce before stands close for the winter. Fresh fall favorites like:
✨ Apples — packed with fiber & antioxidants
✨ Squash & pumpkins — full of vitamins A & C for immune health
✨ Leafy greens — stress-fighting nutrients to support your body

Eating seasonally not only supports your health, but also supports our local farmers and community. 🧡

So before winter settles in, grab some fresh produce and boost your immune system for the months ahead!

📍 What’s your favorite fall fruit or veggie stand in Pueblo? Share it below so we can all check it out! 👇

🌿 Stress, Hormones, and Your Body 🌿

Stress isn’t just “in your head.” It sets off a chain reaction in your brain and hormones:

🔹 The Stress Response
• When you feel stressed, the hypothalamus signals your pituitary gland to release ACTH.
• ACTH tells your adrenal glands to release cortisol and adrenaline—your “fight-or-flight” hormones.
• Short term, this is helpful: your heart pumps faster, blood sugar rises, and energy surges.

🔹 Signs Stress May Be Impacting Your Hormones
• Constant fatigue, even with sleep
• Unexplained weight changes
• Irregular cycles or fertility struggles
• Increased anxiety or irritability
• Cravings for sugar or salt
• Trouble sleeping

🔹 How We Can Help

At Pueblo Primary Care Clinic, we don’t just treat symptoms—we look for root causes. That may include:
• Checking thyroid, cortisol, and other hormone levels
• Creating stress management strategies that fit your lifestyle
• Supporting sleep, nutrition, and exercise balance
