Wellness & Disease Management
Hello Friends,
In my last blog, I talked about wellness behaviors to help get us through this period of Social Distancing and Self Quarantine. We now find ourselves at a place in time, in which Social Distancing is no longer a foreign concept, but a way of life, a way to live, and a way to save lives.

I know we’re all doing the best we can do.

I imagine this is one of MANY emails you’ve received about COVID-19 and precautionary measures. We all know the script: Wash hands with soap often for at least 20 seconds. Use sanitizer when soap and water are not available. Cover your nose and mouth when you cough or sneeze and dispose of the tissue appropriately. I’m sure you’ve seen these and more and I encourage you to be part of the solution to curb this pandemic.
I advocate social distancing in order to help prevent catching the disease but also to support our communities as they try to manage the contamination rate of this virus.
If you’re reading this, I suspect that health and wellness is important to you and you are fairly active but doing your best to comply with the CDC’s recommendations.

We have been talking about how implementing small changes to our daily habits can make a big difference in our overall health and well-bing. Today I want to talk about water.
I am just back from a meeting in Florida where I took the opportunity to swim with the Dolphins in Key Largo. Talk about the epitome of ‘water water everywhere, but not a drop to drink’! As you know, dolphins are mammals and require fresh water to survive.

Believe it or not, almost everyone you know has suffered some form of psychological trauma; perhaps from an extreme illness or injury, heartbreak, abuse, intense grief, or catastrophe. When we go through personal crises such as these, we can experience symptoms of trauma that include: anxiety, anger, depression and grief. This may be more common than you think.
