“Improve your nutrition. Our foods drastically impact our health and well-being. We are what we eat, so eat healthy by reducing processed foods and sugars. Foods and diseases go hand in hand. For example, metabolic disease is reversible through a healthy lifestyle. By changing your diet and exercise, you can drastically improve your metabolic health.”

“Prevention- Dental check-ups twice/year, annual physicals, skin cancer evaluations, feminine exams, etc. From a dental perspective, flossing not only prevents cavities between the teeth, but also improves and stabilizes your gum health. It is so important to put your health as a top priority. If you are not taking care of yourself first, it is hard to be there mentally, physically, and emotionally for the people that need you most.”
