Tomorrow is a new day

     Tomorrow is a new day and a new month. I think a new beginning is needed with your health. Try to get out and walk. Walking is good for your heart, lungs, mind, and body.

1) REDUCES STRESS

It’s the perfect way to zone-out and rid yourself of any daily stress. Plus, the exercise-induced endorphins released will leave you feeling better than ever by helping to improve your mood.

2) MAINTAINS A HEALTHY WEIGHT
Regular walking can help you maintain a healthy weight, burn calories and help tone and strengthen your muscles.

3) DISCOVER NEW PLACES
Explore your local area by foot and discover somewhere new you didn’t even realise was there.

4) SAVES MONEY
Cut down on petrol costs by walking to the shops instead. You don’t have to sign up to expensive virtual gym classes either as you can get plenty of exercise in for FREE!

5) WALK AND TALK
Bring your friends and family, whilst getting in your daily steps. Remember to tell them about your challenge to encourage donations!

6) LOWERS BLOOD PRESSURE
Being active can help to lower blood pressure and prevent high blood pressure. This helps to lower your risk of heart problems in the future.

7) INCREASES ENERGY LEVELS
You might sometimes feel like you’re too tired to get out walking, but keeping active can actually boost your energy and help you feel less tired in the long term. 

8) IMPROVES SLEEP
Adding more activity to your daily routine can help improve the quality of your sleep, meaning you feel more rested in the morning. But be careful that you don’t exercise vigorously too close to bedtime, as this might keep you awake.

9) SAVES THE PLANET
You can do your bit for climate change by choosing to ditch the car or train for walking instead and avoiding carbon emissions.

10) HELPS BEAT CANCER 
Remember the money you raise from Walking All Over Cancer this month will help fund life-saving research, bringing the cure to cancer one step closer.

We should all start walking even if it only 10 mins. Start walking down to the end of your driveway then back. You don't have to walk far or hurt yourself just little more everyday will help everyone. There is so many benefits to walking. I like to take a walk with my kids. It gives us time to talk about there lifes and keeps us in shape. It helps to keep our kids in shape and gives us time to be with them. They are only little once don't waste the time sitting on your butt.

Social Media/red light therapy

 I'm not young anymore let me just put that out there. We are trying to do more with social media (Twitter/instagram/facebook/snapchat). We hope this will bring in more patients. I'm a little lost trying know things with social media. I think we have been doing ok with it but we think we could do better.  We did a ribbon cutting but that didn't bring in patients like with thought it would of. We also do whatever we can with chamber of commerce. Still nothing. To break even we need about 200 more patients. To bring money in, so we can keep open we will need double that. I sent out emails today for businesses for them to sign up their employees. I hope at least 6 of them will contact us. We are hopeful that direct primary care will be a great thing for the area. You can't buy or support your family off hope. We wish we could but that a dream not life.  I would love it if people would learn more about us and then they would know how we could help. We are setting up red lig

  What is the difference between NIR and Red Light therapy? Near-infrared (NIR) light therapy is similar to red light therapy, except infrared  energy is invisible, and it reaches even deeper into the body- into soft tissues, muscles, joints, and bones.  Near-infrared units tend to promote topical healing and mild pain relief quite effectively, but far infrared heat are incredibly effective at removing toxins, improving circulation, and relaxing the muscles.  Near-infrared light therapy is a safe effective way to reduce pain and inflammation naturally.  Our full- body light therapy treatment, targets the entire body at once to promote maximum cellular production and transportation, supporting healing and optimal wellness throughout the body. Give us a call 1st visit is always free. we are here to answer any and all questions or concerns you may have.  West Branch DPC  www.westbranchdpc.com or call 989-701-2159

Self care

      I was talking to a patient on friday before I left work. She informed me her sister was going back to the hospital. Come to find out they sent her sister home with a colon collapse.  What is wrong with the hospitals? They never should of sent her home. She needs to have surgery. She is having surgery now, but they should of done that before they sent her home. Now she has an infection that is going to take time to clear up. This is the same thing I been hearing about from a lot of people the hospital don't have time to even look at patients. Why? Doctors go to school to help people not for the system to tell them otherwise. They refuse to do there job. It drives me crazy to not see the care that people need.      When covid happened care to patients went down hill. they shut down all medical offices. We had so many people die (not from covid) but because doctors were told to close offices. You couldn't even be seen for a runny nose you had to go to the hospital. Then when
