Do you notice how celebrations, stress, or boredom often revolve around food? 🍰🍕🍻
Food is meant to nourish, not control every part of our lives.

🔑 Here’s the truth:
When life becomes food-centric, it leads to overeating, constant cravings, and health problems like obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure.

✅ Science says: Research from the World Health Organization highlights that unhealthy eating habits are one of the top risk factors for chronic diseases worldwide. Food should fuel your body, not dictate your happiness.

💡 Lesson: Enjoy food, yes, but let it serve your health and your life goals. Build hobbies, relationships, and routines that aren’t just about eating.
Live balanced. Eat smart. Thrive better. 🌱

Grateful beyond words 🙏
I wasn’t able to attend the Maayo Medical Group Awards Night because I was in Davao when the earthquake hit, but I just found out I received the Excellence in Patient Care Award!

Truly honored and humbled. Caring for my patients has always been my purpose, and this recognition reminds me why I love what I do. 💙

Thank you to my patients, colleagues, and the entire San Lucas family for the trust, inspiration, and teamwork every single day.
Also thankful to be a nominee for the Service Excellence Award, what a blessing!

“Kung nalilito ka pa kung anong lifestyle ang susubukan mo, try mo na ang LCIF (Low Carb + Intermittent Fasting) with exercise.

A fit body isn’t guaranteed — but it’s POSSIBLE. And sometimes, ‘possible’ is all the motivation you need to show up every day.

Start small. Stay consistent. Watch what’s possible turn into reality.

Ever felt so stuck that even getting out of bed feels impossible? 😔

Here’s the secret: depression feeds on inaction. The cure? Tiny wins.
🛏 Make your bed.
🚶 Take a 5-min walk.
📚 Read 1 page of a book.

Each small step signals your brain: “I’m moving forward.” 🧠✨
Neuroscience calls this the “success momentum effect” — small actions release dopamine (your brain’s reward chemical), which makes the next step easier.

💡 Try one tiny action today and celebrate it like a victory. Progress, not perfection, is how you break free.

Patient 1: Im doing LowCarb, why do i still feel dizzy?
Patient 2: Im doing LowCarb, but why do i still feel the headaches?
Patient 3: im doing LCIF, why do i still have back pains?
Doc A: Hey guys! Just a quick reminder, LCIF isn’t some magic cure-all. There are many reasons why diseases develop. But here’s the good news: when done right, LCIF can drastically cut your risk for the world’s deadliest illnesses like stroke and heart attack. That’s a powerful step toward real prevention. 💪

The general objective of LCIF!

Napansin mo ba na karamihan ng diets, hindi tumatagal? 🤔
Usually kasi they focus on eating less, pero hindi on eating smarter.

🔑 Eto ang totoo:
Low Carb Intermittent Fasting (LCIF) works kasi hindi lang siya about cutting calories. It actually changes kung paano ginagamit ng katawan ang fuel. Instead of running on sugar spikes and crashes, matututo ang katawan mo to burn fat more efficiently.

✅ Science says: Ayon sa studies na lumabas sa The New England Journal of Medicine, intermittent fasting improves metabolism, reduces inflammation, at nakakatulong pa sa brain health. Kapag sinamahan mo pa ng low-carb lifestyle, mas long term ang wellness benefits.

💡 Lesson: Huwag isipin ang LCIF na quick fix. Treat it as a smarter lifestyle: sustainable, practical, at life changing.

Start small. Stay consistent. Your body will thank you. 🙌
