January is National Blood Donor Month
This is a reminder that even a simple act can have a meaningful impact. Blood donations help patients in emergencies, surgeries, and ongoing treatments every day. If you’re able, it’s a powerful way to start the year by helping others.

Today is the Winter Solstice, marking the shortest day of the year. That means less sunlight…and for many of us, that can affect mood, sleep, and energy levels more than we expect. Lower light exposure can shift your circadian rhythm and reduce vitamin D, which plays a role in immunity and overall well-being.
If you’ve been feeling tired, blue, or a little out of sync lately, this might be why. One of the benefits of concierge care is being able to check in quickly, adjust your wellness plan, look at vitamin levels if needed, and help you find practical ways to boost wellness through the darker months.
☀️Brighter days are ahead (literally)! Until then, a little extra care goes a long way. ♥️

2026 is just around the corner! As 2025 wraps up, it’s a great time to think about what supported your health this year, and how to enhance it going forward. Most resolutions fade from lack of support, not lack of motivation.
That’s where concierge medicine makes a difference. We can help you create goals that feel right for your lifestyle, and help you stay on track throughout the year. Whether it’s improving sleep, getting stronger, reducing stress, or staying on top of preventive care, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Here’s to starting 2026 feeling clear, supported, and cared for.

T’is the season for big meals, irresistible desserts, and lots of celebrations. Enjoy them! Holiday meals don’t have to be all-or-nothing. A few simple habits can help you enjoy everything on the table and feel good afterward:
• Take a 10-15 minute walk after larger meals
• Stay hydrated. Your body confuses thirst for hunger more often than you think
• Aim to include a source of protein with your meal to help keep your energy steady
• Don’t skip meals earlier in the day (it backfires almost every time).
If you struggle with acid reflux, blood sugar swings, or food sensitivities, your concierge doctor can give you guidance tailored to your body and your triggers. A little planning can help you enjoy your favorite dishes without the next-day discomfort.
