Work out vigorously during the daytime not right before sleep. Physical exercise can promote better sleep.
Limit or cut out caffeine. I only have 1 cup of coffee in the morning and I never have caffeine after 12pm in the afternoon.
Sleep hygiene-is your sleeping area cool, dark, and free from technology?

Sometimes when talking to patients about antibiotic over prescription and incorrect use, I feel like a broken record.
A lot of times we need antibiotics to help our bodies heal.
However, a lot of time our bodies can also heal on their own with proper rest and immune support.
Inappropriate and frequent antibiotic use as well as not taking the medication as prescribed contributes to resistant bacterial infections.
That means that there is a risk that when you need an antibiotic treatment course to save your life it could fail.
If you or your partner are experiencing erectile dysfunction, you're not alone.
ED is a common condition that can be caused by a variety of factors, from stress and poor sleep to weight gain or other medical conditions.

Did you know that hearing about your friend’s cancer diagnosis or reading about a new type of disease or searching for health information online can lead to a phenomenon called "cyberchondria," or "hyperchondriasis"?
This is when people start to believe they have a medical condition based on internet research, despite appropriate evaluation or reassurance.
This definitely happened to me in NP school when I was learning about all the different types of diseases and how to manage them. "Medical student syndrome" is a similar condition that affects students who study diseases and then develop symptoms of those diseases.
Both conditions can often be rooted in a fear of serious illness or death. It can be a form of anxiety.
To avoid falling into the trap of "Google's Disease," approach online health information with a critical eye and always consult a healthcare professional when needed.
What is Telemedicine or Telehealth?
It is an online visit with your healthcare provider.
They can evaluate you on the video visit, electronically send in prescriptions, and order diagnostic tests.
Happy Earth Day! 💚🌎♻️
Did you know that telemedicine can help reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change?
Research shows that remote healthcare consultations produce significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions than in-person visits.
By switching to virtual visits, we can save time, money, and the environment.
Let's prioritize our health and the planet.

Let’s talk about prevention!!
If you have a suspicious lump or pain in an unfamiliar place->that is not normal.
Start by asking your healthcare provider about it.
Cancer doesn’t discriminate based on age.
I recently heard a celebrity share the story of how she noticed a lump on her breast but wasn’t able to get in to see her OBGYN for 4 months.
Luckily her primary provider was able to fit her in and schedule testing.
By the time she had an appointment and was evaluated several weeks later she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer.
She is currently undergoing therapy and treatment.
This woman had just turned 40 but there are many cases of cancer occurring in younger people.
This is not to scare anyone but to promote awareness. I believe knowledge is power and an early diagnosis can be lifesaving.
Obviously the best thing is to live a healthy lifestyle with exercise and stress management as well as maintaining a healthy diet with majority fruits/vegetables/whole foods.
But sometimes our genes or other environmental factors catch up to us.
You can schedule an appointment at www.terrratelehealth.com if you want to speak with a healthcare provider.
Screening recommendations:
*Breast cancer screening recommended beginning at age 45, with the option to begin at age 40.

*Colorectal cancer screening recommended for everyone beginning at age 45.
*People age 45+ who currently smoke or formerly smoked should discuss lung cancer screening with a doctor.
*After age 50, discussing prostate cancer screening with a doctor is recommended.
(screening recommendations from the American Cancer Society and the CDC)
Despite the forecast, live like it’s spring. 🌻
