Welcome to 2023, this is YOUR year! Let’s do this! You are capable of amazing things and now is the time to start taking action.
The plans you make now can set you up for a fabulous and happy year.
Several people are already taking advantage of this with weight loss, care to join them? No pressure, but to help out we are extending our concierge discount special to Valentine’s day. And 10% off the weight loss programs. You can watch my weight loss seminar at Drtuakli.com.
Having doubts about your potential for a great year? Say to yourself: “I am enough, I have enough and there is enough for everyone, including me!” I borrowed this from my favorite Yoga instructor Kassandra. You can find her on YouTube.
The incidence of Covid is still fairly high but fortunately in the vaccinated the severity is low. We have Paxlovid (free of charge) in the office but I must admit I rarely need to give it to anyone these days. I will give it to a high risk unvaccinated person or someone who could potentially get very sick or end up in the hospital like a cancer patient.
I read an article today about a huge study in China which showed that the most critical thing to prevent dementia or cognitive decline, is a healthy diet. Sounds too easy doesn’t it? But it’s true, even people who have the allele APOE4 (the Alzheimer’s gene) can prevent it from manifesting with a healthy diet. That should be great news, all we have to do is do it, right? Here ie a link to an article about what a "Healthy diet” entails, from Harvard magazine. https://www.harvardmagazine.com/2023/01/best-diets-healthy-aging
I have also put a couple of links below to two videos I enjoyed. You will see why.

Lastly, I would like you to know that a lot of the over the counter medicines and supplements are much CHEAPER in my office. Things like: Tylenol, Ibuprofen 400 mg, Claritin D, Zyrtec, Benedryl, Mucinex, and nasal sprays like Flonase, Ipatropium, and Azelestine. For example: a bottle of 100 Claritin is $10 :) And while you are here remember to pick up some viral mix to keep at home so if you do get Covid you don’t have to go through changes to find an unexposed person to come by the office to pick some up.
It’s never too late to step it up. I was so happy to tell one of my concierge patients on Friday that now, one month out from her 90th birthday she is in better shape than she was 4 years ago! She chuckled. See, it really does happen. So find some awesome ways to reboot your health routine. Welcome to 2023, you are not getting any younger but I am here to help, if you need me.
For those of you who would like a Covid vaccine booster we are doing them on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the Columbia office. Please call for an appointment.
