🧠💉 New Research: Ozempic & Wegovy May Lower Stroke and Dementia Risk in Women Over 60 💉🧠

A promising new study shows that women over 60 with a BMI between 30–40 who use medications like Ozempic or Wegovy may have a lower risk of stroke and dementia.

As your primary care MD, I care about you and about protecting your brain, heart, and quality of life. These medications, originally used for diabetes and now for weight loss, may offer broader health benefits than we once thought.

Your health goals are personal—and we’re here to help you reach them with care and science on your side. 💙

🧬 **What is CoQ10—and Do You Need It?** 💊

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a powerful antioxidant your body naturally makes. It lives in every cell, especially in your heart, brain, and muscles—anywhere you need energy!

🔋 CoQ10 helps your cells **produce energy**
🛡️ It protects cells from damage; and it helps with statin tolerability
đź’“ It's especially important for **heart health** and **exercise recovery**

Your body makes less CoQ10 as you age, and certain medications—like statins—can lower your levels too.

Could you benefit from CoQ10?

Ask your physician at your next visit.

Our hearts are heavy with you. We know that many of our patients and neighbors have daughters, sisters, nieces, and loved ones at Camp Mystic — and hearing about the sudden flooding has left so many of us anxious, heartbroken, and holding our breath.

We’re keeping every camper, counselor, parent, and loved one in our thoughts and prayers. You’re not alone — not now, not ever.

🎆Happy Fourth of July from Our Hearts to Yours!🎆

Do you feel it too? That special pride in the air today—especially here in Military City, USA.
San Antonio, we are so proud to serve a community filled with courage, sacrifice, and heart.

Today, we celebrate freedom, togetherness, and the incredible strength of the people who make this country—and this city—so special. To our military families, veterans, and service members: **thank you** for everything you give.

Whether you're enjoying a backyard barbecue, waving a flag at a parade, or finding a quiet moment to rest, we’re sending warm wishes your way. ❤️

❤️A Kind Reminder This Fourth of July ❤️

As we gather to celebrate freedom and community here in **Military City, USA**, let’s also hold space for those who may experience this holiday a little differently.

For many veterans, first responders, and individuals living with PTSD, the sudden sounds of fireworks can be overwhelming and deeply distressing. What brings joy for some can unintentionally cause fear or anxiety for others.

This Fourth of July, we gently ask you to be mindful:
✨ Let neighbors know if you plan to use fireworks
✨ Choose empathy
✨ Be kind, patient, and understanding

Compassion is one of the most beautiful ways we can honor the spirit of this day—and those who have served to protect our peace.

Wishing each of you a safe, meaningful, and gentle holiday.❤️

— With care,
Dr. Galvez

🌼 Do you have a Sore Throat?
You're not alone—this week we've seen a noticeable uptick in sore throats across San Antonio, and many patients are asking what might be causing it.

Right now, a new COVID variant, which is known for causing an intense, painful sore throat—sometimes described as feeling like “razor blades.” Unlike earlier versions of COVID, this one often doesn’t come with a runny nose or major cough, so it can catch people off guard.

We’re also still seeing classic strep throat. If your sore throat comes with fever, and headache, we’ll likely want to swab for strep and treat with antibiotics if positive.

And with summer heat comes **enteroviruses** and other seasonal bugs, which can cause sore throats, rashes, or mild fevers—these are viral and typically resolve on their own with rest, fluids, and a little TLC.

And remember—if you're over 60 or have chronic conditions, you may qualify for extra protection like RSV and COVID boosters.

At our clinic, we’re here to sort out the cause, provide relief, and get you feeling better fast. 💛
Stay hydrated, stay cool.
