Most people underestimate how much protein they actually need each day. If you’re constantly hungry or low on energy, your intake might be too low. Simple fixes can make a big difference; add eggs or Greek yogurt at breakfast, include a protein source at every meal, and keep high-protein snacks on hand. These small, consistent changes support better energy, fullness, and overall health. When in doubt, prioritize protein. For individual questions and support, call (815) 222-0788 to schedule an appointment.

As plants begin to bloom in the spring, they release pollen into the air, which can trigger common allergy symptoms. This can lead to sneezing, congestion, itchy eyes, and fatigue for many people. Warmer temperatures and windy days often increase pollen circulation, making symptoms more noticeable. Taking preventative steps early in the season can help reduce the impact. Give us a call at (815) 222-0788 if your allergies get out of hand!

Even with Medicare coverage, most patients will still have some out-of-pocket costs.

Original Medicare typically includes:
• Deductibles – the amount you pay before coverage begins
• Coinsurance – a percentage of the cost you’re responsible for
• Copayments – fixed amounts for certain services

These costs can vary based on the type of care you receive and whether you have additional coverage, such as a Medicare Advantage or supplemental plan. Understanding these details can help you better plan for your healthcare expenses and avoid unexpected costs. Call (815) 222-0788 if you have questions about your coverage or options.

Exercise is incredibly important to maintaining your health and mobility, especially as you age. To ensure you’re getting the full benefits of working out and to reduce the risk of injury, you should incorporate gentle stretching before and after your workout. Stretching helps keep your muscles flexible and healthy, allowing you to maintain your joint range of motion. If you don’t stretch, your muscles are at risk of tightening and shortening, limiting your movement and increasing your risk of injury. If you’re looking for help with finding a Medicare plan, schedule an appointment with us today at (815) 222-0788.

There are two main ways to receive your Medicare benefits: Original Medicare or a Medicare Advantage plan. Original Medicare is provided by the federal government, while Medicare Advantage plans are offered through private insurers and may include additional benefits. Each option has different coverage structures, networks, and costs, so it’s important to understand which works best for your needs. Call (815) 222-0788 to learn more about your options.

Grounding isn’t just for panic—it can help with everyday overwhelm too. If you catch yourself zoning out, overthinking, or feeling disconnected, that’s a good time to use it.
