A little preparation can go a long way in ensuring your success with quitting smoking. When planning your quit date, it’s helpful to remind yourself of the reasons you want to do this in the first place. There are major reasons to quit, such as reducing your risk for disease and cancer. What are your other reasons? Write down your top 10. Before your quit day, you may want to think of rewards you can give yourself, as well as activities which you can turn to if cravings get bad. Studies tell us that psychological preparation plays a large role in the likelihood of success with smoking cessation.

Prostate cancer can have very similar symptoms to benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), caused by an enlarged prostate, or sometimes none at all. Signs to look for are urinary symptoms, fatigue, back pain or blood in the urine/semen. What can you do to maintain prostate health? Get quality sleep; stick to a diet rich in vegetables/phytonutrients, good fats, lean protein; and exercise! Supplementation is very beneficial and a non-invasive treatment for BPH.

Thermography and Breast Health
October is breast cancer awareness month, and preventative health care and early detection are important factors when it comes to breast health. DITI (Digital Thermal Imaging) or Thermography is a non-invasive assessment tool using an infrared camera. This helps to visualize inflammation and dysfunction in the body to assess problems in the vascular, muscular, neural, and skeletal systems. For breast health, DITI can help create a baseline of healthy breast activity, and yearly DITI follow-ups can help detect potential physiological changes and abnormalities. Since DITI looks for changes in physiology, it can be a great secondary measure alongside mammography.
