Ksmiles123 Check-In 02/01/2026
Hello! Welcome February.We just got through one of the coldest Januaries I can remember. I hopethat you are keeping warm and safe.Extreme cold weather can result in bronchospasm in some individuals; itis best to have your rescue inhaler or nebulizer available when needed. Groundhog Day is tomorrow- let’s see what Punxsutawney Philpredicts tomorrow. There are 46 days until spring, on March 20th.Yippee!!! Spring is my favorite time of the year since I love being outdoors, and it is neither too cold nor too hot.
Throughout the month, we will focus on the following topics: heart and physical health, exercise, nutrition, the Gut Microbiome, GI testing-EGD/Endoscopy, Manometry, and Colonoscopy. Lastly, we will review Acid Reflux and other comorbidities, such as theassessment and follow-up on a hiatal hernia diagnosis.
