Simple activities like walking, biking, gardening, or joining a class can make a difference. If you’ve been inactive, start small and build up. If you have joint pain or health concerns, choose safe options. Take the first step today—choose an activity you enjoy and make it part of your daily routine.

Most people underestimate how much protein they actually need each day. If you’re constantly hungry or low on energy, your intake might be too low. Simple fixes can make a big difference; add eggs or Greek yogurt at breakfast, include a protein source at every meal, and keep high-protein snacks on hand. These small, consistent changes support better energy, fullness, and overall health. When in doubt, prioritize protein. For individual questions and support, call (815) 222-0788 to schedule an appointment.

Even with Medicare coverage, most patients will still have some out-of-pocket costs.

Original Medicare typically includes:
• Deductibles – the amount you pay before coverage begins
• Coinsurance – a percentage of the cost you’re responsible for
• Copayments – fixed amounts for certain services

These costs can vary based on the type of care you receive and whether you have additional coverage, such as a Medicare Advantage or supplemental plan. Understanding these details can help you better plan for your healthcare expenses and avoid unexpected costs. Call (815) 222-0788 if you have questions about your coverage or options.
