🌿 Did You Know? 🌿

Your liver could be storing more fat than it should — even if you don’t drink alcohol! 🍔🥤

This condition is called hepatic steatosis, or "steatotic liver disease" (previously known as "fatty liver disease"), and it happens when too much fat builds up in your liver cells. Over time, it can lead to inflammation, scarring, and even liver damage if left unchecked.

🩺 Common causes include:
✅ Obesity or chronic over-nutrition and sedentary lifestyle
✅ High sugar or processed food intake
✅ Type 2 diabetes or insulin resistance
✅ Certain medications or high cholesterol

💡 The good news? This can be reversible with healthy lifestyle changes if caught early!
✨ Eat more fruits, veggies, and whole grains
✨ Get regular exercise
✨ Limit alcohol and sugary drinks
✨ Maintain a healthy weight

Your liver works hard for you every day — show it some love! 💚

🩺 Did you know?
Almost half of adults with high blood pressure don’t realize their numbers may be off because of improper technique when checking at home.

Here’s how to get accurate readings every time:

✅ Sit quietly for at least 5 minutes before checking.
✅ Keep your back supported and feet flat on the floor.
✅ Rest your arm at heart level (on a table, not hanging down).
✅ Use the correct cuff size — too small = falsely high readings.
✅ No talking or texting during the reading.
✅ Take 2 readings, one minute apart, and record the average.
✅ Avoid caffeine, exercise, and smoking for at least 30 minutes prior to measurement

💡 Pro tip: Try checking at the same time each day, and bring your home readings to your next visit — it helps your doctor spot trends early.

PAYING TOO MUCH FOR HEALTHCARE?

You’re not alone — many employers are seeing rate hikes of 25% or more for 2026.

It’s time to think outside the box when it comes to traditional insurance.

At Florida Direct Primary Care, we’re helping patients and employers save money while getting better care by combining two powerful solutions:

💙 Direct Primary Care (DPC) — A simple monthly membership that covers your everyday and urgent needs: office visits, checkups, sick visits, access to wholesale labs and direct access to your doctor when you need it most.

🛡️Atlas.Direct — Affordable supplemental health insurance built specifically for Direct Primary Care, designed to cover the big stuff: hospital stays, surgeries, and catastrophic events — without the insurance games or red tape.

Together, they create a complete, affordable alternative to traditional health insurance.

💡 Better care. Transparent pricing. No hidden fees. No surprise bills.

High blood pressure (hypertension) often causes no symptoms but silently increases your risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease over time.

🩺 The good news? It’s easy to check and manage with the right lifestyle changes and support from your primary care team.

Small steps like reducing salt, staying active, managing stress, and getting regular sleep can make a big difference!

Make sure to regularly check your blood pressure — it takes just a few minutes but could add years to your life. ❤️

Pairing a Direct Primary Care (DPC) membership with a high-deductible health plan (HDHP) can save you thousands every year 💰

Here’s how it works:
✅ DPC covers your everyday needs — unlimited visits, same-day appointments, telemedicine, access to wholesale labs, and personalized care — with no copays or surprise bills.
✅ HDHP takes care of the big stuff — hospitalizations, surgeries, or emergencies.

Together, they give you comprehensive coverage without the sky-high premiums.

At Florida Direct Primary Care, we believe healthcare should be simple, affordable, and centered around you — not insurance companies.
