The Nutritionist and Nurse

When you check your blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol, or A1C—you’re not just being “responsible.”
You’re being loving.

Knowing your numbers is a sacred act of self-care. It says:
“I choose to show up for the version of me that’s still coming.”

Let’s make our future selves proud—one number, one step, one choice at a time.

Your health becomes better with the little things—one smart choice at a time.

Eat the water melon. It’s that simple.

Better blood sugars start with better choices—and July is the perfect month to begin.

Let’s take one small step together.

Freedom arrived long after hope took root. Juneteenth teaches us that even when liberation is delayed, the human spirit sustains.

Let this day be a gentle yet firm reminder: broken promises demand action, delayed justice calls for vigilance, and unity empowers change.

A day to amplify Black voices, showcase achievements, and embrace African American heritage.

Juneteenth inspires hope, honors resilience, and calls us to walk the path toward true freedom—for all.

Let your gratitude ripple outward in words, wisdom, and action.

Thank you Ms. Opal

As Men’s Health Month continues, I wanted to share a prayer for the fathers, fathers-to-be, uncles, and every man who stands in the gap with a father’s love.

Heavenly Father,

On this special day, we lift up every father, grandfather, uncle, godfather, and father-figure with gratitude. We thank You for their strength, wisdom, and presence in our lives.

Lord, we pray for their health—
Strengthen their bodies, refresh their minds, and renew their spirits.

May they walk in divine energy, full of vitality and purpose.

Where there is pain, bring healing. Where there is weariness, bring rest.

Bless them with clarity of mind and peace in their hearts.

Protect them from illness, stress, and disease.
Cover them with Your grace so they can live long, love well, and lead with honor.

God, surround them with love and joy today.
Help them feel seen, supported, and appreciated not just today, but always.

Let their legacy be one of love, wellness, and generational blessings.

In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

Yes, Sexual Health Matters

Sexual health is a vital yet often overlooked aspect of men’s well-being.

Issues like erectile dysfunction (ED), low libido, and other concerns can sometimes be early warning signs of underlying health problems like heart disease, diabetes, or hormonal imbalances.

As someone who cares, you can help by encouraging him to prioritize his sexual health and feel comfortable discussing it.

Men may be reluctant to talk about sexual health, but your openness can make it easier for him to share. Let him know you’re here to listen, and that talking about these issues is a sign of strength, not weakness.”

Encourage him to bring up any sexual health concerns with his doctor.

Let him know that ED, for example, is common and treatable—and often related to cardiovascular health, which makes early discussions even more important.

Remind him that a healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management can also support sexual health.

Top Tips for Supporting His Sexual Health:

1. Keep the Conversation Open: Approach the topic without embarrassment—his health is worth discussing.

2. Encourage Healthy Habits: Regular exercise, balanced nutrition, and adequate sleep can all improve sexual function.

3. Limit Alcohol and To***co: These can affect sexual performance, so moderation is key.

4. Manage Stress: High stress can interfere with libido and performance—suggest stress-relief activities he enjoys.

5. Don’t Ignore Concerns: If he experiences changes in sexual function, encourage him to talk to his doctor.

Early detection can uncover other health issues too.

You’ve got a cause worth showing up for.
But chronic illness? That’s real too!

Whether it’s diabetes, renal disease, asthma, or heart disease—you don’t have to choose between advocacy and your well-being.

Here are some protest tips for folks with chronic conditions.

Be safe out there.
