Prioritizing Health in Fall

Thank you very much. And on that note, if you were encouraging someone to, someone else to prioritize their health in the fall, what advice would you give, drawing your own insights or lived experiences, for example? Well, first thing I would say, if you feel anything is not quite right, you need to get it checked out, be that emotionally, up here, or physically in your body. If you're feeling something's off, it may be, but you need to go get it checked out. I believe in that wholeheartedly. You don't wanna wait until it's too late. I mean, if you're having headaches and they're constant, That's not a normal thing. So you need to go be seen and find out what's causing it. I think too many people are finding that it's hard to make appointments in a timely fashion, especially with the specialists. It's a very long process. So, and then of course you're seeing more MPs than you are MDs for primary care. We know there's a shortage there, but having everybody in that group of whoever you see, whether it's your endocrinologist, your PCP, everybody has to look at the information so that they can catch something hopefully sooner than later. Sure, sure. And how do you stay motivated or connected to healthy habits during the fall? Is there a behavior mindset or tool that helps you particularly? Basically, just knowing that I don't, you know, my mission that I'm on has to do with weight loss and keeping myself healthy, which I've been doing now for almost a year. And knowing that, you know, this is something I'm committed to doing, I have to stay true to that. And I've got two girlfriends and all three of us were trying to do this weight loss thing and guess who's kept the pounds off? They gained it, I didn't. So I'm really proud of myself. And it's all about attitude and positivity and knowing that the end result will bring me what I really, really wanna have, which is good health. So also having articles, if we, just what I can add on that, if we can have, I like to read about a lot of things. So I'm constantly reading stuff. So the more information that is put to us either through our providers, services or pharmacy, I think is really, really helpful. Thank you very much indeed. And what could a LifeBridge Healthshare community do to support you or others during the fall and into the winter? ideas for engagement, conversation, or resources? It's so funny because I know that the larger share of the senior population is already going to lots of doctors, so I'm pretty sure they should be covered pretty well. I think as if the target were to be at a little younger audience, 40-ish, because believe it or not, and I know you know this, there are things that a lot of males don't go to get certain tests and they should know their numbers, their PSA numbers, and a lot of guys don't. I've gone to a couple funerals recently of men who should have known better and didn't have to die from prostate cancer in particular. So getting to the younger market, I'm thinking, because I'm looking at my own kids and I'm saying to them sometimes, are you keeping up with this? Are you keeping up with that? Do you know you need a mastectomy? And you know, and if they're not knowing these things, they need to know. Don't forget about the seniors, but the 40-ish group. I think they're somewhat, now we've got a lot of time to live. We're not really worried about it. Well, you got to stay on top of your health. That's what I would say. Absolutely. Absolutely have to stay on top of your health. You have to stay on top. That's very, very resonant indeed. And that, Julie, thank you very much.
