Did you notice it stayed lighter a little longer last night? That’s because we just “sprang forward” with Daylight Saving Time! While losing an hour of sleep can feel a little rough on a Monday morning, the extra evening daylight brings a wonderful opportunity for something good, movement and fresh air.
Daylight Saving Time was first widely adopted during World War I as a way to make better use of daylight hours and conserve energy. Over the years, it has become something many of us look forward to because it signals the approach of spring, longer days, and more time outside.
And those longer evenings can be great for your health. That extra hour of daylight is the perfect reminder to:
• Take a walk after dinner
• Ride a bike with your family
• Play outside with the kids or grandkids
• Simply step outside for some fresh air and sunshine
Even 20–30 minutes of movement can help improve heart health, boost mood, reduce stress, and support better sleep.
So as we head into this Monday and adjust to the time change, think of the brighter evenings as a small gift for your health. A little sunshine, a little movement, and a little fresh air can go a long way.
Here’s to longer days, brighter evenings, and healthier habits this spring.
Our office will begin a remodel to create a space that better reflects the care, comfort, and experience we strive to give each patient. During this time, things may look a little different, and we sincerely appreciate your patience as we work through the process. This transformation is for you and we are so grateful to have you with us every step of the way.
Whether it’s weight loss support, hormone balance, or simply staying on top of your health, every step forward counts. Let us help you feel renewed, rebalanced, and ready to thrive.
Low testosterone affects more men than people realize and it can impact energy levels, muscle mass, bone density, mood, and even heart health. The good news? With proper lab testing and medical guidance, testosterone therapy can safely help restore balance and improve overall quality of life. In our office, we don’t guess, we listen, test, and create a plan that’s tailored to you. If you haven’t been feeling like yourself, it might be time to ask why. Call us today 319-365-7581.
In a study of over 83,000 men with low testosterone, those who achieved normal testosterone levelswith therapy had: ✔️ 56% lower risk of death ✔️ 24% lower risk of heart attack ✔️ 36% lower risk of stroke Men who started therapy but didn’t reach normal levels didn’t see the same benefits. It’s not just about treatment, it’s about optimized treatment.
