🔹Diabetes

Whether you're managing a family history or simply staying ahead of your health, early detection gives you and your provider the chance to take action before problems arise.

When your cardiovascular system struggles to keep up with extreme heat, it sends warning signals that you should never ignore...

⚠️ Be on the lookout for:
• Cold, clammy skin
• Confusion or disorientation
• Dizziness or a rapid pulse
• Excessive sweating OR no sweating at all
• Fatigue, nausea, or headache
• Muscle cramps or spasms
• Swelling in your arms or legs

🔥These are signs your body is under serious stress. If you or someone near you shows multiple symptoms, seek medical attention immediately.

Stay alert. Stay hydrated. Stay safe.

When it’s hot, your body works overtime to cool down by circulating nearly twice as much blood per minute compared to a normal day. This means your heart beats faster and works harder.

🔺Risk increases when:
• Temps are over 70°F
• Humidity is above 70%

👥Who’s most at risk?
• Adults over 50
• Individuals with heart, lung, or kidney conditions
• Those who are overweight

💧Stay safe: Hydrate, avoid peak heat hours, and check in with your doctor if you’re managing a chronic condition.

Heart disease is responsible for nearly 1 in 4 male deaths in the U.S., but it doesn’t have to be. With early detection and lifestyle changes, it’s often preventable.

✅ Get regular blood pressure & cholesterol checks
🚭 Quit smoking (or get support to help)
🍎 Eat a heart-healthy diet (similar to Mediterranean-style)
🏃 Move daily, your heart loves activity!
🩺 Keep blood sugar levels in check

Have a family history or existing symptoms? Talk to one of our cardiologists about advanced heart screenings like stress tests, calcium scoring, or echocardiograms, many of which we offer right here in our offices!

Your heart matters. Take care of it, for life.

⚠️ Between 70% and 89% of sudden cardiac events occur in men.
💔 Shockingly, half of the men who die suddenly from coronary heart disease had no prior symptoms.

Early detection and preventive care save lives. Don’t put off your heart health, call us today and start your heart health journey!

These symptoms could be signs of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), a condition where your veins struggle to return blood back to your heart.

Here’s why it matters:
💉 Your leg veins work overtime against gravity to push blood back to your heart.
🚨 When the “venous pumps” fail, blood can pool, leading to swelling, fatigue, and varicose veins.
🩵 These veins aren’t just a cosmetic concern ...they’re a warning sign of a deeper circulatory issue.

While women are more likely to seek treatment, men are just as at risk. Ignoring the symptoms won’t make them go away, AND it can seriously impact your overall health.

✅ This Men’s Health Month, take your symptoms seriously.
✅ Talk to a specialist.
✅ Don’t let CVI slow you down.

Men can certainly get them, too, especially if you spend long hours on your feet, sit for extended periods, or aren’t as active as you should be.

Ignoring varicose veins may lead to advanced varicose vein problems:
🔹Leg ulcers
🔹Spontaneous bleeding
🔹Disease progression
🔹Scarring
🔹Thrombosis
🔹Vein inflammation

🦵 Take charge of your vein health
👟 Move more
🛋️ Sit less
📍 And if you’re seeing symptoms, don’t ignore them, talk to one of our vein specialists today!

Hydration isn’t just important during workouts. Being properly hydrated matters all day, every day. You should pay special attention to your water intake if you are:

☀️ Out in the heat or humidity
❤️ Living with a heart condition
🎂 Over age 50
⚖️ Overweight or obese
✈️ Traveling

When you're well hydrated, your heart doesn't have to work as hard. Small steps like drinking enough water can make a big difference in your cardiovascular health!
