Morning after

 After a long weekend it's hard to get up and motivated. It was a great weekend with family. We cooked out and tried new foods. How was your weekend? Did you enjoy it? How do you celebrate 4th of July? For the 8 years we would go to my dads and watch the fireworks. Things did change after the flood and covid. This year we were able to watch the fireworks with him again. It makes us happy to know that things are going back to normal. Slowly but I have a feeling the world is healing from all the negativity. 

Stress is a hard thing to deal with. I feel when covid started it took over a new meaning to stress and anxiety. People were out of work and they closed down schools. It was hard on everyone. Then the dams breaking and the big flood happen. People in 3 counties lost their homes and had no place to go. None of this should of happened but it did. The good thing that came out of all the bad was the way we see all the communities come together and help in any way they could. 

People are still hurting and do know how to deal with the lost. Stress is bad on your health, there is ways to deal with it. Medication is the easy way but you can also find things that make you happy and push all of them bad things away. 

   There are several other methods you can use to relax or reduce stress, including:

Ask your healthcare provider for more information about these techniques or other suggestions.

Your healthcare provider can help you with anything you might need. If you come see us we can spend as much time with you you may need to help. that is the one thing that others cant do for you. sometimes time is all you need. We have all the time in the day to give to you.

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.

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
