Digital Presence after Death
Receiving a birthday notification for a friend that has passed away is rattling and painful. Planning your own funeral is important and so is thinking about what happens to your online presence after your death. For close family and friends, your social media may be something they want to keep to reflect on times shared with you. Your social media profiles may also be used as a way for people to share condolences. Once you’ve decided what you’d like to happen to your digital footprint, consider including your wishes in your will or in a separate letter to your chosen legacy contact.
All Movement Counts
It’s hard to feel motivated to get enough activity in the winter months, but despite our desire to hibernate, it’s important for us to keep moving. The good news is that every bit of movement counts, even just a few minutes at a time. Try getting up and standing more often, playing music and dancing, and taking the stairs instead of the elevator – even just one flight! You can also play actively with your pets and do simple exercises or stretches while watching TV. Try setting an alarm on your phone to remind yourself to move frequently!

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.
