Can't walk past the cookie tray without grabbing one? (Or five?) Stop blaming yourself.

This isn't about discipline. It's about what's happening inside your body right now.
- You're tired. One night of bad sleep increases hunger hormones by 15%. Your brain wants fast fuel. Cookies deliver.
- You're stressed. High cortisol makes your body crave sugar for quick energy. It's not emotional eating. It's survival mode.
- You're on a blood sugar rollercoaster. Cookie, spike, crash, crave another cookie.

How to quiet the cravings without white-knuckling it:
+ Protein at breakfast stabilizes blood sugar for hours.
+ A glass of water before grabbing a treat helps more than you think.
+ Sleep alone cuts cravings dramatically.
+ Eat the cookie WITH protein or fat to slow the spike.

The cookies aren't the enemy. The chaos is.

Thanks for following our 12 Days of Christmas Wellness. Enjoy the season and feel good doing it.

You bought gifts for everyone else this season. What about yourself?
"I feel fine, I don't need a checkup." We hear this constantly. And it's the sentence that keeps us up at night.

Because here's what "feeling fine" can hide:
- High blood pressure — no symptoms until stroke or heart attack
- Pre-diabetes — no symptoms until it's full diabetes
- High cholesterol — no symptoms until arteries are clogged
- Thyroid issues — fatigue you've blamed on holiday exhaustion
- Vitamin D deficiency — that winter slump you think is "normal"

Your body doesn't always send warning signals. Sometimes it whispers. Sometimes it's silent.
Before January gets crazy and everyone's fighting for appointments, schedule yours now.

The holidays are a time for reflection, including on your health.

Every day, patients sit in front of their doctors and leave out the details that matter most:

➡"I only drink socially" (the holidays made it more)
➡ "I take my meds every day" (you skipped a few... weeks)
➡ "I've been feeling fine" (you haven't since Thanksgiving)

We get it. It's uncomfortable. You don't want to be judged during the season of "indulgence." But those "small" details change everything.
They change which tests we order. Which medications are safe. What red flags we look for. Before 2025 ends, give yourself a gift: honesty with your healthcare team. We're your partners, not your judges.

Next visit, tell us the real story.
We promise: we've heard worse! And we'd rather know now than discover it later.

We see it every January: patients exhausted, inflamed, and run down. Not from the food. Not from the travel. From the emotional toll.
Here's what we wish more people understood: emotional stress isn't "just in your head." It triggers the same biological response as physical stress: Elevated cortisol, increased inflammation, disrupted sleep, weakened immunity.

That family tension? Your body feels it.
That people-pleasing? Your body pays for it.
That guilt about saying no? Your body absorbs it.

As your healthcare team, we're giving you permission:
→ Simplify your plans
→ Skip events that drain you
→ Say no without explaining
→ Rest without earning it

Your emotional health IS your physical health. Protect it like your wellbeing depends on it (because it does)

We'd rather see you thriving in January than recovering from December.

The real Christmas magic? It's not under the tree.
It's waking up with energy. Moving without pain. Feeling calm in a room full of chaos. Being present instead of exhausted.

That "magic" is actually biology:
✓ Balanced hormones
✓ Quality sleep
✓ Proper nutrients
✓ A regulated nervous system
You can't buy it. But you can build it.
Today, do ONE thing that supports your body:

Drink an extra glass of water
Take a 10-minute walk
Eat a meal with real protein
Go to bed 30 minutes earlier

What's your one thing today? Drop it in the comments 👇

Your immune system is exhausted. Here's why.
Every holiday hug, handshake, and crowded room? Your body noticed. More people = more germs, and your immune system has been working overtime to keep you healthy.
Here's what most people don't realize:
Fighting off germs burns through your energy, protein, zinc, and vitamins C and D—fast. Add late nights, travel stress, and all that rich food, and your body's running on fumes. Stress hormones make it worse by slowing your immune response right when you need it most.
The good news? A few simple things can help you bounce back quickly:
* Hydrate — flushes out toxins and keeps your system running
* Sleep — your body does its best repair work at night
* Protein — rebuilds your immune defenses
* Sunlight — a natural vitamin D boost
Feeling run down after the holidays isn't just in your head. Your body is telling you something.
Listen to it. A little recovery now means more energy for the rest of the season.

End-of-Year Health Check: Before the year wraps up, here’s something worth remembering. The numbers that really matter aren’t on your to-do list, they’re in your lab work.

A quick check of your thyroid, Vitamin D, B12, A1C, and lipid levels can give you a clear picture of how your body’s doing heading into the new year. Even small imbalances can affect your energy, mood, metabolism, and overall health more than you might notice day to day.

A simple appointment now can spare you guesswork later and set you up for a healthier start to the year.

Thinking to power through the busy season? Here’s something worth keeping in mind. When life speeds up, your sleep often slows down, sometimes without you even realizing it.

Stress, late nights, endless to-dos, screens, sugar, and constant stimulation all interfere with your natural sleep cues and melatonin production. The result? You might feel “fine,” but your body is running on less rest than it needs.

If you’ve been waking up groggy, feeling wired at night, or relying a little too heavily on coffee to function, your sleep rhythm might be asking for a reset.

A few simple steps, like dimming screens an hour before bed, keeping a calming evening routine, and protecting a consistent sleep schedule, can make a big difference.

Take care of your rest so you can take care of everything (and everyone) else this season.

Planning to toast the holidays? Here's something worth knowing.
That festive cocktail might not mix well with medications you're already taking. Alcohol changes how your liver processes drugs, and even a single drink can amplify side effects.
Common culprits include blood pressure meds, diabetes medications, antibiotics, sleep aids, and pain relievers. The combination can cause everything from dizziness and drowsiness to more serious effects.
Before you raise a glass this season, have a quick conversation with your pharmacist or doctor about any medications you take regularly. A little awareness goes a long way toward keeping your celebrations safe and enjoyable.

Cheers to your health!

Day 3: The December Mood Dip Is Biological

If your mental health dips in December, you’re not alone.
Shorter winter days lower serotonin and vitamin D, two chemicals your brain depends on for stable mood and steady energy.

A highly effective, research-backed habit for winter:
Get bright light in your eyes within the first hour after waking.
Even 5 minutes makes a measurable difference.

Why it works:
☀️ Boosts serotonin
☀️ Resets your circadian rhythm
☀️ Reduces grogginess and improves mood throughout the day

Simple ways to get your morning light:
• Step outside while your coffee brews
• Stand by a window for your first message or email
• Take a 3-minute walk instead of scrolling in bed

And if winter hits you harder: fatigue, moodiness, low motivation, at Trinova Medical can evaluate vitamin D, hormones, and inflammation so you’re supported from the inside out.

Day 2: Consistency Wins
Trade perfection for consistency and here’s the part most people don’t know:

Your brain only needs 2 minutes of a habit to start wiring it as “automatic.”
Not 30 minutes. Not a full workout. Just 2 minutes.

Why this works:
Your brain cares more about the start of the habit than the length.
Start tiny → reduce resistance → build identity → grow effortlessly.

Try one today:
🕒 Do 2 minutes of stretching
🕒 Walk to the mailbox
🕒 Drink water before your coffee
🕒 Journal one sentence

Consistency isn’t about doing more, it’s about doing something your brain can’t reject.

And if deeper issues (fatigue, hormones, inflammation) keep blocking your consistency, we are here to help. For info/sign up: www.trinovamedical.com
