Thereโ€™s something powerful about taking a moment to handwrite what weโ€™re thankful for โ€” not type it, not think it, but actually write it down.

Research shows that when we physically write gratitude by hand, several things happen in the brain:

๐Ÿง  We activate the reticular activating system, which helps the brain notice more of what we focus on; meaning the more we write what weโ€™re thankful for, the more we see things to be thankful for.

๐Ÿง  We also activate the ventral striatum, a key reward center, and the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), which is involved in social cognition and emotional regulation.

โœ๏ธ Handwriting slows us down, giving our nervous system space to breathe, settle, and shift into a calmer, more regulated state.

๐ŸŽฏ Being specific strengthens the effect.
Writing โ€œfamilyโ€ is goodโ€ฆ
Writing โ€œI am thankful for getting to play Mario Cart with my children last night and to see the joy they have when we have fun together!โ€ actually rewires emotional pathways and boosts mood more deeply.

๐Ÿ Our Thankful Tree in the office is a reminder that gratitude isnโ€™t just a nice November tradition โ€” itโ€™s a tool that literally shapes the way our brain works.

This week, try writing down one very specific thing youโ€™re grateful for.
Not perfectโ€ฆ just specific. ๐Ÿ’›

๐ŸŒฑ Motivational Monday ๐ŸŒฑ

We love routines because they feel safe.
We love predictability because it feels controlled.
We love staying where we are because it feels known.

But nothing changes in the comfort zone.

Growth happens in the stretch.
Confidence is built in the trying.
And strength shows up in the moments where you say to yourself,
โ€œIโ€™m scaredโ€ฆ but Iโ€™m doing it anyway.โ€

Trying something new โ€” whether itโ€™s a new habit, a new health goal, a new mindset, or a new direction in life โ€” often feels awkward at first.

And yetโ€ฆ thatโ€™s exactly how every strong, confident person began.
They just started before they felt prepared.

This week, give yourself permission:
To be a beginner.
To try the new thing.
To say yes to the opportunity youโ€™ve been avoiding.
To step into the unfamiliar โ€” not because itโ€™s easy, but because youโ€™re ready to grow.

You've got this. ๐Ÿ’›

Your immune system works a lot like a football team.

You canโ€™t skip practice all season and then expect to win the big game with one last-minute play.
The real success happens long before kickoff โ€” in the daily training, conditioning, and preparation that builds a solid defensive line.

Your body is no different.

๐Ÿ’ช ๐™Ž๐™ฉ๐™ง๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™ž๐™ข๐™ข๐™ช๐™ฃ๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™ฎ isnโ€™t something you get from a quick fix.
Itโ€™s something you build every day with steady nutrition, good sleep, hydration, movement, and the right nutrients already on board before illness hits.

So this season, focus on preparing your โ€œ๐ข๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ง๐ž ๐๐ž๐Ÿ๐ž๐ง๐ฌ๐žโ€ instead of trying to scramble for a Hail Mary when symptoms start.

At Zion Asher Family Physicians, we help you build that solid defense with:
โœ”๏ธ Targeted nutrient and deficiency testing
โœ”๏ธ Personalized nutrition recommendations
โœ”๏ธ Evidence-based supplement plans tailored to your labs and your goals

And of courseโ€”nothing in medicine is ever a 100% guarantee. Even the best teams get scored on.
But when you do get sick, weโ€™ve got your back. We know the plays, we know the strategy, and we have a proven game plan to help you recover faster and get back in the game. (In other words, we know cellular biology and virology really well ๐Ÿ˜‰)

Prepare well. Stay strong. And know weโ€™re here on your team all season long. ๐Ÿ’›๐ŸŒฟ

A few of our patients have recently done the math and found that by switching to a lower insurance tier and joining our practice, they cut their total monthly health care costs by up to 50%!
Half the cost โ€” and no more waiting weeks for appointments or fighting insurance approvals.
