Transitions in healthcare can feel unsettling, especially when they’re unexpected. If your longtime primary care doctor retires, it’s not just about finding someone new to sign prescriptions or perform checkups—it’s about rebuilding a trusted relationship. A primary care doctor isn’t just a medical expert; they’re your first line of defense, your advocate, and often, your translator when medical issues get complicated. Choosing the right one requires time, intentionality, and a thoughtful approach. Here’s how to do it right.

Running isn’t just for the young anymore. In fact, an increasing number of older adults are running into their 50s and 60s. The benefits include improved cardiovascular health, greater endurance, and a boost in independence and self-esteem. However, running isn't a hobby you should pick up lightly, no matter your age. To avoid injury and maximize the benefits, remember to keep all of these tips in mind; Stretch Beforehand, Prioritize Arch Support, Utilize a Wearable Fitness Tracker, Develop Good Form, Heat and Ice Afterward, Take Regular Breaks, Recover After Your Run, Incorporate Running Into a Balanced Workout Regimen.

Most people know that exercise is good for them, and many have even been proactive enough to start a regular exercise routine. But after the first few weeks, we often find that getting motivated to work out isn’t as easy as it used to be. To get all the benefits of your physical activity, it’s important to stick to your fitness goals, and that means staying motivated.

When you're genuinely passionate about health—whether it's nutrition, fitness, mental well-being, or preventive care—it’s easy to focus on your personal journey. Maybe you’ve seen the benefits in your own life: more energy, fewer sick days, a clearer mind. But there comes a moment when that internal fire starts to feel like it’s meant for something more than just yourself. If that’s where you are now, you’re in the perfect place to start advocating for others. And the good news? You don’t need a public office, a medical degree, or thousands of followers to make an impact—you just need to care deeply and act intentionally.

There is strong evidence all over that proves what we eat impacts our health. A healthy dietary pattern that includes a lot of fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains improves heart health and reduces the risk of chronic diseases like Type 2 diabetes.

You may have heard the saying “You are what you eat.” The foods we choose to eat daily have an overwhelming impact on our bodies. Is it possible for certain foods to also boost our brain health? The answer is yes! Certain foods can improve brain functions, such as our concentration and memory.
