💡 Tired of paying sky-high insurance premiums every month?

If you’re paying over $400/month for an individual plan or $700+/month for a family, it might be time to look at Health Share Plans — especially when paired with a practice like ours at PEAK Integrative Medicine.

Here’s why this model works so well:
✅ Health Share covers the big, unexpected stuff* — hospitalizations, surgeries, emergencies.
✅ Our Direct Primary Care (DPC) model handles everything else — unlimited visits, labs, coaching, and real preventive care.
✅ Together, they create a complete, affordable healthcare solution without insurance red tape.

This approach isn’t just for local patients — Health Share Plans are available across the nation, and we work with individuals and small businesses anywhere in the U.S.

Whether you’re self-employed, managing a team, or just tired of watching premiums rise, this could save you thousands every year — while giving you the freedom to choose the care you actually want.

🎥 I recorded a 20-minute video (or about 10–15 if you watch at 1.5x speed) that breaks it all down — how these plans work, who they’re best for, and how I personally saved nearly $10,000 a year by switching.

👉 Watch it here below!

Let’s make healthcare simple, transparent, and affordable again — no matter where you live. 🌎

🌿 Manuka Honey for Throat & Respiratory Comfort

When the seasons change and you start feeling that tickle in your throat, a spoonful of Manuka honey can be a simple, natural way to support comfort and soothe irritation.

---

🍯 Why people use Manuka honey

Soothing support: Its thick texture helps coat the throat, which can calm that scratchy, irritated feeling.

Natural protection: Manuka honey is rich in methylglyoxal (MGO) — a compound that gives it unique antibacterial properties not found in regular honey.

Traditional use for coughs: Research shows that honey can help reduce coughing frequency and improve sleep for people dealing with upper respiratory irritation.

A 2019 review published in Frontiers in Microbiology notes that Manuka honey’s MGO content gives it potent antibacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits, helping explain its traditional use for sore throats and wound care.¹

---

🌸 How to use it

You can take a teaspoon of Manuka honey straight, or mix it into warm (not hot) tea with lemon for soothing relief.

Avoid giving honey to children under 1 year old.

If you have a persistent cough or other concerning symptoms, check with your healthcare provider.

---

🏔 Available at PEAK

We carry Manuka Honey Syrup and Manuka Honey Nasal Spray here at PEAK Integrative Medicine — simple, natural options to support respiratory comfort during the season.

Stop by weekdays from 8am-4pm or call ahead to make sure we're here 570-366-2613.

PEAK team members Dr. Touchinsky, Christin, and Heather just wrapped an Immune Summit focused on practical, science‑backed ways to help the immune system do what it’s designed to do: protect, repair, and recover.

Key insights:

- Metabolic flexibility matters. Restoring the body’s ability to shift between fuels can reduce inflammation at its source.
- The gut–immune interface is central. Protecting the intestinal barrier and nurturing a healthy microbiome helps calm whole‑body inflammation.
- Stress and sleep aren’t “extras.” Vagal tone, deep sleep, and daily movement directly shape immune balance and brain detoxification.
- Immune balance over suppression. Thoughtful, individualized modulation aims to guide the system back to equilibrium rather than blunt it.

Our clinical takeaway: foundations first (nutrition, movement, sleep, stress regulation, gut support), then carefully consider advanced tools when appropriate, tailored to the person’s biology.

The great part is that it validated our current approach and shows us we're on the right path. In events like this, it's about picking up a few key items to enhance patient care even more, and there were certainly several gems to start implementing immediately on Monday morning.
