TRUE or FALSE ❓

People with asthma should avoid exercise completely.

🚫 FALSE!

Exercise is important for overall health — even if you have asthma. While exercise can sometimes trigger symptoms, asthma can often be well-controlled with the right treatment plan. Many people with asthma safely participate in sports and physical activity every day!

If you experience:

• Frequent coughing

• Wheezing

• Chest tightness

• Shortness of breath

It may be time to have your asthma evaluated or your medications adjusted.

At Core Care Family Medical, we help patients create personalized asthma action plans so they can breathe easier and stay active.

✔️ Longer, unrushed visits

✔️ Same-week appointment availability

✔️ Clear explanations of your labs and treatment plan

✔️ Care for ages 6 and up

Did You Know? Your Thyroid Controls More Than You Think!

Your thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in your neck — but it plays a BIG role in your health.

It helps regulate:

✔️ Energy levels

✔️ Metabolism

✔️ Heart rate

✔️ Body temperature

✔️ Mood

✔️ Weight changes

When your thyroid isn’t working properly, you might notice symptoms like:

🔹 Fatigue

🔹 Unexplained weight gain or weight loss

🔹 Hair thinning

🔹 Feeling unusually cold or hot

🔹 Anxiety or depression

🔹 Brain fog

Many thyroid conditions, such as Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), can be diagnosed with a simple blood test.

The good news? Most thyroid conditions are very treatable once identified.

If you’ve been feeling “off” and can’t quite explain why, it might be worth checking your thyroid levels.

TRUE or FALSE? 🤧

Sinus infections always require antibiotics.

FALSE ❌

At CoreCare Family Medical, we educate our patients that most sinus infections are caused by viruses, not bacteria—so antibiotics aren’t always the answer.

Many sinus infections improve with:

✔️ Supportive care

✔️ Symptom management

✔️ Time and close follow-up

Antibiotics may be appropriate when symptoms are severe, last longer than 10 days, or continue to worsen—and that’s where proper evaluation matters.

👩‍⚕️ At CoreCare Family Medical, we take the time to assess your symptoms and create a treatment plan that’s right for you—not just a prescription.

🧠 Memory changes: What’s normal—and when to get checked

We all forget things sometimes. Names, keys, why we walked into a room 😅

But some memory changes shouldn’t be ignored.

🚩 It’s time to talk to your provider if you notice:

• Forgetting things more often or more severely

• Trouble finding words or following conversations

• Getting lost in familiar places

• Repeating the same questions or stories

• Changes in mood, personality, or decision-making

• Memory issues that interfere with work or daily life

🕰️ Early evaluation matters Memory changes can be caused by many things—stress, sleep problems, vitamin deficiencies, medications, thyroid issues, or neurological conditions. Many causes are treatable, especially when caught early.

💙 We’re here to help If you or a loved one has concerns about memory, don’t wait. A simple visit can provide clarity, answers, and peace of mind.

🩸 What is Hemoglobin A1c (A1c)?

Hemoglobin A1c—often just called A1c—is a blood test that shows your average blood sugar over the past 2–3 months.

Instead of showing a single “snapshot” like a finger-stick glucose, A1c looks at how much sugar has attached to your red blood cells over time. Since red blood cells live about 3 months, the test gives us a bigger picture of blood sugar control.

📊 What does it actually tell us?

✔ How well diabetes or prediabetes is being managed

✔ Long-term blood sugar trends

✔ Risk for diabetes-related complications

📌 General A1c ranges:

Normal: below 5.7%

Prediabetes: 5.7–6.4%

Diabetes: 6.5% or higher

💡 Why it matters:

Keeping A1c in a healthy range helps protect your heart, kidneys, nerves, eyes, and overall health.

If you have questions about your A1c or want help improving it, your primary care provider can help create a plan that works for you.
