Healthy Halloween Tips 🎃

Halloween is a time for treats and fun, but that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your health. With a few simple strategies, you can enjoy the season while keeping your wellness on track.

Here are some tips to make Halloween healthier and more balanced:

🍬 Swap out some candy for fruit or small healthy snacks to satisfy your sweet tooth without overdoing it.

🏃‍♀️ Balance treats with extra activity, like an evening walk, a family game, or dancing to your favorite music.

💧 Stay hydrated by drinking water between sweets, which can also help curb sugar cravings.

🍫 Choose portion-friendly servings instead of eating directly from the candy bag. This helps you enjoy treats without going overboard.

👨‍👩‍👧 Involve the whole family in planning healthier Halloween options. Making it fun together encourages lasting healthy habits.

With a little planning and mindfulness, Halloween can be both festive and nourishing. Celebrate the season and feel good doing it! 🍂

✨ From Intern to Future Physician ✨

We’re so proud of former Lake Country Medical Group intern Cayleigh Romano!

Cayleigh was part of our internship program during the 2021–2022 academic year. After earning dual degrees in Biology and Psychology from the University of Georgia and completing her Master’s in Comparative Biomedical Science, she now works as the Solid Tumor Clinical Research Coordinator at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta—and was recently accepted into the Medical College of Georgia! 👏

Reflecting on her time at LCMG, Cayleigh shared:

“I do not believe there are many other internships out there that could offer the sheer amount of patient-facing clinical time, insight into physician decision-making, and the opportunity to play a role in patient care that the LCMG internship provides. LCMG prepared me for the rigors and expectations that come with students volunteering in clinical care. It taught me how to interact with patients and the medical team, read and understand charts, while also managing my time (and having fun.) My experience with the LCMG Internship was not only inspiring but also integral for preparing me for medical school. I cannot recommend it enough!”

We’re honored to have played a part in Cayleigh’s journey toward medicine. Her story is a true testament to the hands-on learning and mentorship that define the Lake Country Medical Group Internship Program. 💙

🌱 Can Plant-Based Eating Lower Your Cancer Risk?

What you eat may play a bigger role in cancer prevention than you think. A growing body of research shows that plant-forward diets can meaningfully reduce cancer risk — and the benefits go far beyond that.

From improving gut health to protecting against certain cancers, even small changes like swapping in more veggies, beans, and whole grains can make a real difference for your long-term health.
Read the full blog by our very own Dr. Nicolas Chronos to learn more about the science behind plant-based eating and practical ways to get started.
