What if a simple annual checkup could be a lifesaver? In this episode of Tea with Tanya, I share my encounter with high cholesterol, discovered through routine blood work. This episode highlights the vital importance of annual checkups in identifying hidden health risks such as cancer, high blood pressure, and diabetes before they become serious. We’ll walk through the key steps of a routine exam, from checking vital signs to monitoring weight, and explore why developing a strong, trusting relationship with your healthcare provider is crucial for maintaining long-term health.
Exploring the essential tests every routine physical should include, I highlight the importance of monitoring factors such as blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood glucose levels. Together, we’ll uncover how these tests, coupled with discussions on lifestyle factors like diet, exercise, sleep, and stress, can offer a comprehensive picture of your health. Especially if you have a family history of related conditions, advocating for these preventative screenings can be a game-changer in managing your health proactively.
Navigating the often inequitable healthcare system can be daunting, but advocating for your health is crucial. I share practical tips for maximizing your doctor’s appointments—preparing ahead, asking detailed questions, seeking second opinions, and finding the right healthcare provider who respects and hears you. Whether it’s utilizing free clinics or switching doctors to better meet your needs, prioritizing your health should never be compromised.
