Supplement Safety

More than half of U.S. adults use dietary supplements regularly to support their health, with multivitamins, vitamin D, vitamin C, calcium, and omega-3 fatty acids (fish oils) being the most popular. Protein, amino acids, and other botanicals like ginger and caffeine are also used by many. While there are many reasons to take supplements, it is important to use these products safely. Supplements may offer health benefits, but they can also pose health risks if not used appropriately.

Spiritual Wellbeing-Live Well Monthly Newsletter

Spiritual wellbeing is an important, yet often overlooked, dimension of health. In general, spirituality refers to the sense of connection you feel with others and the world around you. Spiritual wellbeing involves exploring your values, beliefs, and meaning in life, and often provides a foundation to help you move through challenging life moments. Research suggests that individuals who engage in regular spiritual practices report better mental health, reduced stress, and even improved physical outcomes.

The power of preventative dental care

One of the biggest misconceptions in healthcare is simple: if it doesn't hurt, it's not a problem. When it comes to oral health, that assumption can be misleading - and sometimes costly. Dentists see this all the time. Patients go in feeling fine, expecting a routine visit, and are surprised when they find early signs of gum disease, inflammation, or decay. Nothing hurts yet -but problems are already developing.
