🌙✨ Healthy Fasting During Lent & Ramadan ✨🌙

As we enter the seasons of Lent and Ramadan, many of our patients may be participating in fasting for spiritual reflection and renewal. At Jackson’s Health, we support your faith practices while helping you stay safe and healthy.

Here are some important health tips to consider:

High blood pressure

Heart disease

Kidney disease

History of eating disorders

Take daily prescription medications

Medication timing and dosing may need adjustment.

💧 Hydration Is Key
When not fasting:

Drink plenty of water

Limit caffeine (can increase dehydration)

Avoid sugary drinks that cause blood sugar spikes

🥗 Balanced Meals Matter
When breaking your fast:

Start with water and small portions

Include lean protein, fiber, and healthy fats

Avoid large, heavy, high-sugar meals

Choose complex carbohydrates for sustained energy

🩸 Monitor Your Symptoms
Stop fasting and seek medical attention if you experience:

From your first weigh-in to the last, we are by your side!

Losing weight can be difficult, but you don’t have to do it alone! Rather you have pre-diabetes, diabetes type 2, PCOS, obesity or binge eating disorder, we use prescription weight loss medicine along with diet and exercise to improve blood sugar (glucose), weight loss, and health. Medications for weight loss might not be recommended for everyone. Schedule a meeting with a board-certified medical provider to see if you qualify.

How it works:
1. Answer a few questions and follow the required health history form
2. Meet with us in office and discuss your goals
3. Order and review lab work
4. Start a medication regimen [if you qualify] and adjust as needed
