Man Cold: More Than a Myth?

Could the infamous “man cold” actually have a scientific basis? Research suggests there may be real biological differences behind it—men often show stronger inflammatory responses to viruses, while women typically mount a quicker, more efficient immune response, partly due to hormonal and genetic differences. But no matter your biology, the strength of your nervous system plays a major role in how well you fight illness. Chiropractic adjustments help support optimal nervous system function by improving spinal alignment and reducing stress responses in the body, which may enhance immune coordination and healing. Along with rest, hydration, and proper nutrition, chiropractic care can be a valuable part of staying resilient during cold and flu season.

Safe, Dignified Bathroom Design

Bathrooms can be challenging for seniors, but thoughtful design helps maintain independence and privacy. Key upgrades include walk-in tubs or showers, which remove high steps and reduce fall risks, and grab bars with non-slip mats for extra stability. Shower chairs and handheld showerheads support comfort and ease of use, while bright lighting and wider doors enhance safety and accessibility. Together, these features transform daily routines into empowering moments of self-care. With solutions like Total Tub MB, seniors can enjoy a practical, affordable way to age in place, preserving both safety and dignity in their own homes.

IV Nutrient Therapy

Intravenous (IV) nutrient therapy is a clinical approach that delivers vitamins and minerals directly into the bloodstream under professional supervision. By bypassing digestion, IV administration allows nutrients to be available for immediate cellular use. Commonly used ingredients may include vitamin C, B vitamins, magnesium, glutathione, and amino acids — selected based on an individual’s health status and goals. At Uptown Integrative Health, IV nutrient therapy is one of several supportive options offered within a comprehensive, evidence-informed care plan. Treatments are always prescribed following appropriate assessment by a licensed naturopathic doctor to ensure safety, suitability, and individualized care.

Prostate Cancer Awareness

Prostate cancer is a common cancer in men, typically affecting those over age 50. It develops in the prostate gland, which helps produce semen. Early stages often have no symptoms, but some men may experience difficulty urinating, blood in urine or semen, or pelvic discomfort. Regular screenings, such as PSA (prostate-specific antigen) tests and digital rectal exams, can help detect it early. Treatment options vary based on the stage and may include active surveillance, surgery, radiation, or hormone therapy. During Movember, men are encouraged to grow mustaches and raise awareness about prostate cancer and men’s health.

Focus On Men’s Health Every Month

Although November is a great yearly reminder to think about prostate, testicular, and mental health, men should be focusing on their physical and mental well-being every month. It’s important for men to take charge of their own health. A good first step is to find out how well your body is functioning so you can target any areas that need assistance. One of the best ways to accomplish this is through nutritional testing and supplementation. If an area is found to be weak or underperforming, specific, natural formulations can be taken to boost and maximize your body’s ability to function optimally, so you can have a better quality of life every month.

Festive Plants for Joy

Festive plants can boost mood and reduce holiday stress. Poinsettias, with their vibrant red petals and deep green leaves, symbolize joy and celebration. Orchids bring elegance and warmth to any space, while Christmas cacti bloom just in time for the season and help improve indoor humidity. Eucalyptus bundles are another great addition—their crisp, natural scent promotes relaxation and supports respiratory health. Adding these plants to your home creates a cheerful, calming atmosphere during the winter months. Whether decorating for yourself or gifting to others, festive plants are a simple, beautiful way to brighten the holiday season.
