25 Years Later — Never Forgotten 🇺🇸
Today marks 25 years since a day that forever changed our nation.
We remember the nearly 3,000 lives that were lost, the first responders who showed extraordinary courage, and the countless families who have carried the weight of that loss ever since.
September 11 is a reminder of how precious life is—and of the courage, compassion, and strength people can show in the most difficult moments.
Today, we honor those we lost, those who served, and those whose lives were forever changed.
25 years later, their memory remains with us.
We remember. We honor. We will never forget. 🇺🇸

Evening Star Flu Clinic
💉 Flu Shot Day at Evening Star!
We had such a fun time with the residents at Evening Star today. ❤️
I love seeing how they enjoy their days—rest when they need to, play bingo when they’re ready for some fun (and prizes! 🎉), and sometimes just sit back and chill. Maybe we could all learn a little from them. 😊
What makes today even more special is realizing that I’ve been coming to Evening Star to care for this community since my days working with CVS—at least 16 years! And now, I get to continue that tradition with Alvin Care Pharmacy.
Thank you, Evening Star, for allowing me to be a part of your community and a small part of your history all these years. It truly means a lot to me. ❤️
Here’s to many more years of keeping our seniors healthy, protected, and smiling! 💉

OUR JOINTS AREN’T OLD SNEAKERS. 👟

Maybe it’s not just “wear and tear.” Maybe hormones are part of the story.

Estrogen doesn’t only affect periods, hot flashes, and your brain. Estrogen receptors are found throughout our joints and connective tissues, and the menopause transition can be associated with more joint aches, stiffness, and musculoskeletal pain.

This actually came up in a conversation with my friends this weekend. We’re all around that stage of life, and suddenly we were comparing notes:

“I wake up and everything hurts.”
“My knees suddenly ache.”
“My hands are stiff.”
“I can't lift my hand up pass my shoulder."

And of course, the first thought is: We’re getting older. It’s just wear and tear.

But our joints aren’t old sneakers that simply wear down with time. Cartilage is living tissue, and what happens in our joints is much more complex than just years and mileage.

And for women, changing estrogen levels may be one piece of that puzzle.

This doesn’t mean every aching joint needs estrogen—or that every joint problem is hormonal. But if your joint pain seemed to show up around the same time as changing periods, hot flashes, poor sleep, brain fog, or other perimenopause symptoms, hormones deserve to be part of the conversation.

Hormones matter. Movement matters. Lifestyle matters.

Your joints are living tissue, and their environment matters too.

Ask what changed. And that goes for men, too!

As we move through perimenopause and menopause, maintaining muscle becomes increasingly important.

Muscle is an active organ that communicates with the brain.
When we contract the muscles, it release myokines—chemical messengers that help connect muscle health with brain and metabolic health.

And this is one reason I’m excited about creatine.
Creatine helps our cells rapidly regenerate ATP—energy used by both our muscles AND our brain.
My goal at this stage of life isn’t simply to weigh less.
✨ I want stronger muscles.
✨ I want a stronger brain.
💪🧠 And I want that for you too!
Move, lift, eat protein, add creatine (I ❤️ Ortho Molecular creatine) and prioritize sleep 💤

This is one of those formulas my regular patients come back for month after month. Why?

They love it because it helps them:

• Stay on track with daily tasks
• Feel calm without feeling sleepy
• Handle stressful moments more smoothly
• Feel less frazzled around mealtimes—when stress can lead to mindless eating

The formula combines:

🌿 L-theanine to support a calm, relaxed state
🧠 GABA, the body’s primary calming neurotransmitter
✨ Huperzine A to support acetylcholine activity, memory, and mental focus

After 40, many women notice that stress, hormonal changes, interrupted sleep, and a constantly full mental load can make it harder to feel focused and steady.

This formula is not a weight-loss product—but when you feel calmer and more in control, it turn down the food noises, make it easier to pause, and avoid stress-driven eating.

At this phase in life, we need calm and focus—and CopaCalm may help with just that!

Ever walk into a room and forget why? You're not losing it.
You used to be the sharpest person in the room — quick with a response, clear under pressure. Now you lose your train of thought mid-sentence. You read the same paragraph three times and still can't retain it.
Here's what many women are never told: brain fog is a real and common symptom of the menopause transition. As estrogen fluctuates during perimenopause, verbal memory, attention, concentration, and word retrieval can all be affected. Hot flashes, poor sleep, anxiety, stress, and low mood can make these symptoms even more noticeable.
If brain fog is showing up alongside hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disruption, or menstrual changes, talk to your healthcare provider about whether hormone therapy may be appropriate for you.
My own daily routine includes Ortho Molecular Creatine — it supports muscle strength, cellular energy, and brain function, and it's become one of my favorite tools for feeling sharper day to day. Paired with restorative sleep, movement, good nutrition, and the right medical care, it's a simple addition that can make a real difference.
Brain fog doesn't mean dementia. For many women, these cognitive changes may improve as the brain adapts to the transition.
If you have any questions about supplements or medications, stop by— you don't have to figure it out alone.
