As summer travel season heats up, a new Omicron subvariant, NB.1.8.1, has been making headlines. Though it’s the dominant strain in China and some surrounding regions, early data shows it remains uncommon in the U.S. Still, it’s a good reminder that staying healthy while traveling requires a few thoughtful strategies. What You Should Know About NB.1.8.1 This emerging strain is part of the Omicron lineage, but it hasn’t been classified as a new variant in the U.S., since it lacks the number of mutations required to meet that definition. So far, most symptoms have been mild and have resolved within 2 to 3 days. One standout symptom is a very sore throat, often described as feeling like "razor blade irritation." While not more severe than previous strains, it may...

Monday Motivation, Motivation

We all know stress can impact our mood, sleep, and energy. But did you know it can also throw your hormones out of balance? In this week's Motivation, Harlee Palmer, PA explains how chronic stress can interfere with hormone regulation and what you can do to regain control of your health. The Stress-Hormone Connection When your body is under stress, it produces higher levels of cortisol, a hormone designed to help you respond to danger. While cortisol is helpful in short bursts (like when you’re running late or facing a deadline), prolonged stress keeps your cortisol levels elevated, which can cause: Disrupted sleep patterns Weight gain, especially around the midsection Fatigue and brain fog Mood swings and anxiety Irregular menstrual cycles or worsened menopause symptoms Stress doesn’t just affect...
