December is a month full of celebrations, with full tables and late nights. But as the season gets brighter, roads shouldn’t get riskier.

National Impaired Driving Prevention Month is here to remind us that every choice behind the wheel matters. If you are drinking at Christmas dinners, do not drive! Stay the night, call a ride, or share a taxi instead.

One small decision can protect your life, and everyone else’s on the road🎄🚗✨

Did you know that around 1 million Americans suffer from Crohn’s disease?

Crohn’s is a chronic inflammatory condition that can affect any part of the digestive tract, from the mouth to the colon. It often causes fatigue, abdominal pain, and unpredictable flare-ups. But other common symptoms are also diarrhea, weight loss, and loss of appetite.
The exact causes are unknown, and it cannot be fully cured yet, although it can be well-controlled with dietary adjustments, exercise, and stress management.

If you, or someone you know, is navigating Crohn’s, you’re not alone. Let’s spread knowledge and understanding.

This time of the year can feel loud — lights, plans, expectations, family gatherings with uncomfortable moments..

If you feel that these Holidays make your energy shrink, your mood lower, and feel like even simple things take too much effort, you may be feeling Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).

This anxiety or depression around Christmas is not just “winter blues”, but a real and common condition with biological explanation.

If this season feels overwhelming, you’re not alone. Slow down, say no without guilt when you need to, and protect the tiny rituals that make you feel good. And, remember, your well-being matters more than the perfect Holiday moment.

On the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, a reminder that there are different ways of moving through life, solving challenges, and perspectives that make our world richer.

Disability is not a limitation, if we choose to build a world where there’s more access, and inclusion so that every person is seen and reach their full potential. Let’s think about what we can do today to help create this future💙

Did you know that we have between 600 and 800 lymph nodes? You can find them clustered in our necks, armpits, and groin!

Lymph nodes are essential defenders of your immune system, they filter out harmful invaders like bacteria, viruses, and damaged cells, helping your body stay healthy and resilient. When they swell, you know it’s a sign your body is fighting an infection, but if you have persistent swelling, you should be checked as it may signal an underlying infection, immune disorder, or—in rare cases—a more serious condition such as lymphoma.

Early evaluation ensures timely diagnosis and appropriate care.

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a chronic condition where stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing symptoms like heartburn, regurgitation, and chest discomfort.🔥

In the U.S., GERD affects a large portion of the adult population, and cases continue to rise as factors like excess weight, high-stress lifestyles, and irregular eating habits become more common. The positive side is that this condition can be effectively controlled: timely diagnosis, tailored lifestyle adjustments, and proper medical treatment can significantly reduce symptoms and help prevent long-term damage to the esophagus.

If you’re experiencing frequent reflux, don’t ignore it—your gut is trying to tell you something.
