Fractures can be the first sign of osteoporosis and can lead to more fractures. Most occur in the hip, spine, shoulder, or wrist. Spine fractures may not be painful but can cause height loss or a rounded back. If you’ve had a fracture, you’re at high risk for another. A spine or hip fracture greatly increases this risk and requires osteoporosis treatment. Broken hips are especially serious for older individuals, often resulting in disability. 22% of women and 33% of men who suffer a hip fracture die within a year. (osteoporosis.ca) Fractures after age 40 may require a bone density test and risk assessment. Find out if you are at risk by either having the scan in our office or in the comfort of your home.

A clean and organized home can have a profound impact on mental health and overall well-being. A clutter-free environment promotes a sense of calm and reduces stress levels. When our surroundings are tidy, it becomes easier to focus, think clearly, and feel a sense of control. Cleaning activities can also be therapeutic, providing a productive outlet for pent-up emotions and anxiety. Additionally, a clean home reduces the risk of allergens and pollutants, promoting better physical health, which in turn positively impacts mental health. Taking the time to maintain a clean home creates a nurturing space that supports relaxation, rejuvenation, and a positive mindset.

It’s time to do mental healthcare differently and The Mood & Mind Club is where we start! Let’s empower ourselves to take back control of our health and throw away the band-aid approaches that don’t offer the lasting results we need. In this private membership we’re creating a community of women that are supporting their mental health in a more natural, holistic way. They don’t want to be on meds, they see the power in nutrition, mindset work, self discovery and self responsibility. Want to know more? Visit https://www.shinetruewellnessco.com/moodandmindclub
