High blood pressure is one of the leading causes of kidney disease, especially as we get older.

When blood pressure stays high for long periods, it can damage the tiny blood vessels that help your kidneys filter waste.

Healthy habits that help protect your kidneys:

✔ Monitor your blood pressure regularly
✔ Take medications as prescribed
✔ Stay active
✔ Limit excess sodium

Not sure what your blood pressure numbers mean? Jill and Dipak are always happy to help explain.

Bone health becomes more important as we age.

A bone density test helps detect osteoporosis, a condition that weakens bones and increases fracture risk.

Screening is typically recommended for:
1. Women age 65 and older
2. Men age 70 and older
3. Adults with risk factors like long-term steroid use

Early detection can help prevent fractures and maintain independence.

Talk with your healthcare provider about whether screening is right for you.

That late-night scrolling may be costing you sleep.

The blue light from phones, tablets, and TVs can interfere with melatonin, the hormone that helps regulate sleep.

Try this simple change tonight:

📵 Turn off screens about 30 minutes before bed.

Your brain will have time to wind down, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.

Good sleep supports heart health, mood, and overall wellness.

🍀 Feeling lucky AND heart healthy this St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀

Dr. Jill Reifsnyder is sharing why CoQ10 can be an important supplement for patients taking statins.

Statins work hard to support your heart, but they can also lower your body’s natural CoQ10 levels, which may lead to muscle aches or fatigue. Adding CoQ10 may help support your energy and keep you feeling your best!

Not sure if CoQ10 is right for you? Stop in and talk with Jill or Dipak! We’re always here to help you feel your best!

Many common over-the-counter pain relievers can affect your kidneys when used frequently or in high doses.

Medications like ibuprofen and naproxen are helpful for pain and inflammation, but long-term use may strain kidney function, especially for people with high blood pressure, diabetes, or kidney concerns.

A few quick tips:
1. Follow recommended doses
2. Avoid long-term daily use unless directed by your doctor
3. Stay hydrated
4. Ask your pharmacist if you’re unsure

Jill and Dipak are always happy to help you choose the safest option.

Fun Fact Friday: Dehydration in older adults can sometimes look like confusion or memory problems.

Before assuming the worst, hydration is worth checking.

As we age, our sense of thirst decreases, but our need for fluids does not.

Simple. Important. Often overlooked.

Stay hydrated this weekend.

Have you seen “eGFR” on your lab results?

eGFR stands for estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate. It measures how well your kidneys are filtering waste.

Many people don’t realize kidney disease can develop quietly, without symptoms.

If you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or are over 60, this test is especially important.

Review your labs. Ask questions. Stay proactive.
