Because winter changes how your body regulates energy.
Shorter daylight hours, less movement, dry indoor air, and routine shifts all play a role.

Sometimes fatigue is seasonal.
Sometimes it’s a sign your body needs support.

A Nurse Practitioner can help you tell the difference.

Winter isn’t just cold & flu season. It’s also one of the best times to check in with your primary care provider.

Why?

Because winter often reveals changes in:
– Blood pressure
– Energy levels
– Chronic condition stability
– Medication effectiveness

Preventive winter care helps avoid spring health surprises.

Not every winter cough needs an urgent visit, but some symptoms do need assessment.

Book an NP appointment if you notice:
• Fever lasting >72 hours
• Wheezing or shortness of breath
• A cough persisting more than 3 weeks
• Worsening symptoms instead of improvement
• Difficulty sleeping due to congestion
• Symptoms in someone with asthma or chronic conditions

Knowing when to check in helps prevent complications and keeps you feeling your best all season.

Did you know blood pressure naturally tends to run higher in winter?

Cold temperatures cause blood vessels to narrow, which means your heart has to work a little harder to move blood through the body.

You’re more likely to notice changes if you:
• Already manage hypertension
• Spend a lot of time outdoors for work
• Are under more seasonal stress
• Are dehydrated (very common in winter)

A quick winter BP check-in with your Nurse Practitioner can help spot trends early and keep your numbers where they should be, before symptoms appear.

Cold air is dry (indoors and outdoors) which means your body loses moisture faster in winter than in summer.

Signs you may be under-hydrated this time of year:
• Afternoon headaches
• Dry skin or eyes
• Fatigue
• Increased thirst in the evening
• Lightheadedness when standing

Hydration supports circulation, digestion, and concentration - especially in Alberta’s dry winters. A simple winter health reset: drink consistently, not just when you’re thirsty.

Many patients don’t realize how much smoother healthcare feels with someone helping them navigate the system.

Care navigation includes:
• Knowing which specialist to see
• Understanding referral timelines
• Deciding which concerns need imaging
• Tracking results and follow-ups
• Making a clear plan for next steps

Nurse Practitioners help ensure nothing gets lost, delayed, or overlooked; so you’re not left wondering what happens next.

12/03/2025

Nurse Practitioners at River Stone can act as your primary care provider, offering:
• Comprehensive assessment
• Ordering and interpreting diagnostic tests
• Diagnosing and managing conditions
• Prescribing medication
• Referrals to specialists
• Ongoing care for chronic diseases

NPs blend medical expertise with a patient-centered approach, so your care is thorough, accessible, and personal.

12/01/2025

An annual check-in is more than updating your blood pressure and renewing prescriptions.

A thorough yearly review should include:
• Your medical history + changes over the past year
• Review of chronic conditions
• Screening needs based on age & risk
• Medication and supplement check
• Mental health conversation
• Labs or tests if needed
• A plan for the year ahead

At River Stone NP Clinic, your annual review is a chance to understand your health trajectory, not just your numbers.

11/28/2025

A care plan isn’t just a document, it’s a roadmap for your health. It keeps you informed, organized, and supported, especially if you manage multiple conditions.

A Nurse Practitioner builds a plan that includes:
• Preventive screenings
• Medication review
• Lifestyle recommendations tailored to your real life
• Follow-up timing
• Red flags specific to your health profile

11/26/2025

At River Stone NP Clinic, our Nurse Practitioners operate fully independently, meaning they can:

👉Assess your health concerns
👉Order and interpret diagnostic tests
👉Diagnose conditions and recommend treatments
👉Prescribe medication
👉Refer you to specialists when needed

In short: an NP here can be your primary care provider for all the basics, and much more

11/24/2025

Your body often sends signals after a change has been happening internally for weeks or months. Primary care helps catch issues during the silent phase, when they’re easiest to treat.

Proactive care > reactive care

11/21/2025

It’s possible for lab results to fall within the “normal” range while you still feel unwell; tired, foggy, low energy, or not quite yourself.

That’s because:
• Normal ranges are broad
• They’re based on population averages, not your personal baseline
• They don’t always reflect how your body feels or functions

Our whole-person approach helps identify early imbalances and guide next steps, even when the numbers look fine on paper. Your experience matters just as much as the data.
