Humans cannot withstand being in a long-term state of emergency. When we encounter a stressful “event”, we have an expected physiological response (heart rate increases, pupils dilate, blood shuttles to our extremities and away from our organs), and after a few hours, we should return to a more balanced state. Research shows blood flow increases in our “hindbrain” away from our “forebrain,” meaning we become more emotional vs. rational. Ask Dr. Narotam how stress manifests in your nervous system and how she can reduce muscle tension and pain in the shoulders/neck, while balancing the nervous system and enhancing your overall well-being.

Give Your Feet a Healing Treat
Reflexology is a non-invasive therapy that applies pressure and massage to areas on your feet, hands and/or ears to promote the body’s powerful self-healing capabilities and optimize physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. Reflexology of the feet is the most common, and according to reflexologists, you have reflex areas in your feet that correspond with every body part, gland and organ in your body. Done either sitting up or lying down, depending on preference, most who get reflexology treatment comment on how it feels soothing and relaxing, and helps you unwind, de-stress, reduce anxiety, and recharge.
IBS Relief: How Pharmacists Help
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) affects digestion, causing bloating, cramps, and irregular bowel habits. Probiotics—beneficial bacteria that support gut health—may help manage symptoms by restoring balance in the digestive system. However, not all probiotics work the same way. Your pharmacist can recommend strains suited to your needs, such as Lactobacillus or Bifidobacterium species, and guide you on proper dosage. They can also assess medication interactions and lifestyle factors affecting gut health. If you’re struggling with IBS, speak to your pharmacist for expert advice on probiotics and other supportive strategies for digestive wellness.
Staying Social with Hearing Loss
For someone with hearing loss, social situations are challenging. Help improve communication with them by following these simple tips: • Gain their attention before you begin talking. • Speak naturally & don’t shout. Speak distinctly, at a normal rate, using pauses to give the person time to process speech. • Keep your hands away from your face while talking. • Avoid sudden changes of topic. And if the subject is changed, tell them what you are talking about now. • Seat them where they can see as many faces as possible. • Check in. If you think your listener may not be following, convey the information again in shorter, clearer sentences.
Kick the Habit for a Healthier Smile
April is Oral Health Month, a perfect time to focus on the impact smoking has on your teeth and gums. Tobacco use stains teeth, causes bad breath, and significantly increases the risk of gum disease, tooth loss, and even oral cancer. It weakens your immune system, making it harder for your gums to heal, leading to persistent infections. Quitting smoking can improve blood flow to your gums, reduce inflammation, and lower your risk of serious dental issues. Imagine Laserworks offers a drug-free, painless solution to help you quit smoking, with an impressive 85-94% success rate. Take the first step today!
Get your Hearing Checked!
Most people with hearing loss can be helped by daily use of properly chosen and properly fitted hearing aids. Current hearing aid technology is very sophisticated and effective. A trial period of several weeks with hearing aids allows you to experience amplification. Your hearing care professional will coach and explain the process as you go. If you suspect hearing loss, reach out to your local Hearing Care Professional for help with your hearing and have your hearing tested. We recommend that all adults over fifty years of age should have a baseline hearing test. Contact us for a complimentary hearing test and consultation.
