I've seen too many avoidable outcomes in my practice.
Please don't be one of them.
Take care of your health. You have one life, be deliberately about it.
Here's your starter kit as an adult.
Check your blood pressure and blood sugar regularly, and take lots of water.
Don't self medicate, and always complete your dose and follow up
Once you hit 30: reduce sugar, reduce alcohol, stop smoking.
If any illness runs in your family:
Start screening 10 years BEFORE the earliest age it showed up
Stroke or sudden death in family? Start surveillance 15 years earlier
Women:
Monthly breast self-exam (after your period)
Pap smear screening
Men:
Prostate screening annually from age 50
If something feels wrong, don't just buy over-the-counter medication
See a doctor or nurse who can guide you properly.
In medicine, timing is everything.
I've seen too many people wait too long.
Please don't wait.
Your health is not something to gamble with.
What health screening have you been putting off?
This is your reminder to book it.
Don't wait until you start having symptoms. Let's move more towards prevention than cure. It's always better and cheaper.

Okay, so I've been trying to drop my phone, but I'm always back to it in a few minutes, so I decided to read up on what's actually going on
Turns out it's called dopamine hijacking, and every app we use is doing it to us right now
Let me explain what I found
@MsRade92 these are some of the visuals i've managed to find that show how it presents - it can be much less obvious and easier to overlook. please be safe everyone <3

I haven't been on twitter today - but someone brought a few of my old tweets to my attention and I can't not address it.
14 years ago, I was 23, so I was definitely not a child. I'm not here to make excuses because I don't have anything to make excuses for. What I can't let anyone do is twist my story to fit false narratives.
In 2012, I lived and helped out at my mom's daycare while I was hustling my music. I tweeted everything that happened in my life, as we all did at the time. Kids can be mischievous. If a child did something I found funny, I tweeted about it. Kids are cute and lovable. I want to hug, kiss and cuddle them. I tweet about it. Nothing I tweeted was from perversion.
I was not famous, so maybe if I was, I would have understood that anything is open to whatever interpretation including being used falsely by a faceless mob. I've never been depraved in my life. You can retweet all the tweets in the world about me loudly crushing on people I admire/d. Or being a cheeky young woman. I wasn't trying to hide it, because I don't have anything to hide.
My team has been deleting some of my tweets because of how sensitive it is for my family. To be honest, I did not want to. I have always spoken against rape and sexual assault even before you knew I existed. It's not a costume I'm wearing, it's who I am. I've never claimed to be perfect. I've never claimed to know everything. I said stop raping women. I stand by it.
You're not going to wake up one day and suddenly be healed. It's going to be small choices, every single day. Choosing yourself, over and over. That's how you get there.
