🌅 Struggling With Morning Workouts? You’re Not Imagining It.

The morning vs. evening workout debate has gone on for years—and science still says there’s no universal “best” time. Each comes with its own perks:

🌙 Evening workouts:
Your body is naturally stronger later in the day
Better coordination and reaction time
But exercising too late can affect sleep

🌅 Morning workouts
Great for building consistency
Helps you fit movement in before the day gets busy
But your body may feel stiffer and less powerful early on

🧠 A lot of this comes down to your circadian rhythm—your internal clock that influences strength, temperature, and hormones. Many people perform best between 4–7 p.m.

👉 Bottom Line:
Choose the time that helps you stay consistent. What’s ideal for one person may not be ideal for another.

👣 And if foot or ankle pain is getting in the way of your workouts, Healthmark Foot & Ankle Associates is here to help keep you moving comfortably.

Soup of the Month:
🍲 Cozy White Chicken Chili Recipe 🍁
Perfect for chilly evenings and super easy to throw together!

Ingredients:
• 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 3 medium-large)
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 large garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp oil (I use avocado oil)
• 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 2 cans (15 oz each) Great Northern or cannellini beans, drained & rinsed
• 2 cups corn
• 4 oz diced green chilies
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp oregano
• 1/2 tsp chili powder
• 1/8 tsp cayenne
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 small bunch cilantro, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup plain or Greek yogurt (2%+)
• Juice of 1 lime
• Tortilla chips, avocado, more yogurt, and extra limes for serving

Instructions:

👩‍🍳 1. Sauté the veggies
Heat oil in a pot. Add onion & garlic and sauté for a few minutes.
Add spices and stir constantly for about 30 seconds to let them bloom.

🫘 2. Mash 1 cup of the beans
Mash about 1 cup of the white beans with a fork (add a splash of water if needed).
This helps naturally thicken the chili.

🍲 3. Build the chili
Add the mashed beans, whole beans, chicken, broth, green chilies, and corn.
Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes. A Dutch oven works great here!

🍗 4. Shred the chicken
Remove chicken, shred it with two forks (or meat claws), then return it to the pot.

🌿 5. Finish & serve
Stir in cilantro, yogurt, and lime juice.
Serve with tortilla chips, avocado slices, extra yogurt, and lime wedges.

November is Diabetes Awareness Month

Every 23 seconds, someone in the US is diagnosed with diabetes, translating into approximately 30 million children and adults who suffer from this debilitating disease.
Diabetes is one of the leading causes of disability and death in the US, and if not controlled, may result in health problems such as stroke, kidney disease, vision loss, and amputation. Heart disease can also be a serious health problem for people with diabetes.
Healthmark Foot and Ankle Associates is a Diabetes Center of Excellence, and most commonly, diabetic problems or symptoms begin in your feet. Physicians at Healthmark Foot and Ankle are well-versed in diagnosis, treatment, and coordination for diabetic care. If you are worried about tingling, pain, or numbness in your feet, make an appointment with your Healthmark physician.
Did you know?
36 million people in the U.S. are diabetic.
70 million people in the U.S. are prediabetic.
That means 1/3 of America is diabetic or pre-diabetic. This is one of the fastest-growing diseases in the world.

The holidays are full of rich foods, celebrations, and — unfortunately for many — gout flare-ups. Despite being one of the most common forms of inflammatory arthritis, gout is still surrounded by confusion and misinformation.
Here’s what the numbers say:
64% of those with gout believe cherry juice is as effective (or more effective) than prescribed medications.

50% say changing their diet is the first step they take to manage gout — even before using medications to lower uric acid levels.

63% believe they can stop daily uric acid-lowering medication once their gout flares go away.
(Source: 2019 Wakefield Research Survey for the Gout Education Society)

These beliefs often lead to poor disease management and unnecessary pain.
How to better support new gout patients:
Emphasize that gout is highly treatable with consistent use of urate-lowering medications such as allopurinol, febuxostat, and pegloticase.

Encourage patients to “Go for Six” — maintaining uric acid levels at 6.0 mg/dL or lower, with follow-up visits every six months.

Clarify the purpose of each medication in their treatment plan.

Provide trusted educational resources to help patients take control of their health confidently and accurately.

Remember: the key to long-term gout management is consistency, not restriction.
