Did you know that November is National Muscle Health month? 💪🏼

Getting daily exercise and having healthy, strong muscles does more for our kids than you might think.

Exercise:
-works as well as medication when treating depression
-prevents diabetes
-improves sleep problems
-prevents colds and flus by boosting your immune system
-decreases the risk of colon cancer
-the list goes on and on!

However, kids are becoming more and more sedentary every year. Did you know the minimum amount of exercise recommended for kids ages 6-17 years is 60 minutes a day, including 2-3 days of resistance training? Examples of resistance training include lifting weights, gymnastics, and bodyweight squats/pushups/sit ups.

The colder months can be hard, but exercise is as vital in the winter as it is in the summer. Let’s get moving!

It can be tempting to use sugar free flavoring to encourage our kids to drink more. It’s yummy *and* sugar free! But the truth is, it is not a healthy alternative. Skip the chemicals, and offer simple water. It’s the perfect way to hydrate, even when playing sports!

Please help us welcome Hunter Hewitt, PA-C to our office!

A true North Country native, Hunter is from Philadelphia, NY. When she's not helping patients, you can find her jet skiing on the River, cheering on all kinds of racing, or staying active with her beloved golden retrievers and family.

Hunter loves working with children and adolescents, and she's especially passionate about promoting healthy lifestyles, childhood development, encouraging early literacy, and skincare.

Hunter comes to us with an impressive background: a Bachelor of Science in Biology from St. Lawrence University (2022) and a Master of Physician Assistant Studies from Clarkson University (2025). She's a NCCPA board-certified Physician Assistant.

We're so happy to have her as part of the team!
