    Are you considering quitting smoking, or is there someone in your life that you want to help quit smoking? When someone takes the big step of deciding to quit smoking, family, friends, and co-workers can make a huge difference by giving their help and support. If your friend isn't quite ready to quit, try to see it from their side. For most smokers, cigarettes have been a steady companion for a long time. Some reluctance is normal, and it doesn't mean your friend won't be able to quit for good. First, let your friend know you understand their doubts, then suggest they list their reasons for quitting. Quitting smoking is a journey and a process, not a single event. Access resources to get tips on what you can do from the start to help someone quit and to help them “stay quit.” Plan on being there for the long run and helping them meet the challenges along the way. This morning, we will talk with Allison about the reasons to quit smoking, managing the physical effects of quitting smoking and most importantly, how to receive help and support through the process. https://www.medshoprx.com/blog/give-it-up-stop-smoking-with-support-from-aultman-hospital https://aultman.org/home/health-and-wellness/community-programs/tobacco-support/give-it-up/#/

    If you are 65 years old or older, you have been receiving lots of calls, letters, and emails regarding the Medicare Open Enrollment period from October 15 through December 7. What you may not know is that nationally, roughly 70% of Medicare patients do not review their plan during the open enrollment period. That can be scary and leave opportunities to discover unwelcome or unwanted changes in coverage when they visit a doctor, pharmacy, or other provider in the new plan year. Another fun fact is that Medicare Advantage Plans have become the way that most Medicare Patients receive their Medicare benefits. Around 50% of Medicare beneficiaries chose to enroll in a Medicare Advantage Plan. Advantage Plans became popular because most offer benefits that are not covered by traditional Medicare.

    Do you remember a time when you had abundant energy and felt vibrant?  When you slept well, you didn't need caffeine, you were able to consume foods that didn't result in weight gain.  If you did gain weight you could make some easy adjustments and lose it fast.  As we age, things change. Perhaps you are struggling to recall words easily or you are wishing you were experiencing that passionate spark with you spouse or loved one.  Are you wondering what happened?   The Mayo Clinic has published studies that show changes in hormone levels and metabolism as we age.   When you were younger, hormones like thyroid, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA and pregnenolone were produced in abundance and in balance, but aging and stress can deplete many of the hormones that kept your body young, healthy and strong.  The good news is that they can be replaced with Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT).  Bioidentical hormones are not magic, they do not cure all disease, but they can restore your body to a healthier place, similar to when you were younger.   This morning we will talk with Marna about BHRT and the services offered at Vitality Med.    https://www.medshoprx.com

    Dementia is a general term for memory loss and other cognitive abilities serious enough to interfere with daily life. Alzheimer's disease accounts for 60-80% of dementia cases and today more than 6 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's disease.  Alzheimer's kills more than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined, with deaths from Alzheimer's increasing 145% since the year 2000.  While Alzheimer's is a familiar term,  more than 80% of Americans know little about or are not familiar with mild cognitive impairment, which can be an early stage of Alzheimer's.  Early intervention is critical so it is important that we learn how to recognize signs and symptoms that we should bring to our doctor's attention.   This morning we will talk with Dr. Drake and learn about the risk factors for Alzheimer's, along with diagnosis and treatment.
