📢 October is National Cholesterol Month

This month, we’re raising awareness about the importance of managing your cholesterol levels to protect your heart health.

High cholesterol often has no symptoms, but it can significantly increase your risk of heart disease, stroke, and other serious health conditions. The good news? It’s manageable with the right lifestyle changes and, when necessary, medication.

During National Cholesterol Month, we encourage all our patients to:

✅ Book a cholesterol check if you haven’t had one recently
✅ Maintain a balanced, heart-healthy diet
✅ Stay physically active
✅ Avoid smoking and limit alcohol intake

Your health is our priority. If you have concerns about your cholesterol or cardiovascular risk, please don’t hesitate to contact the practice for advice or an appointment.

For more information, please follow the link below.

Thank you
