Many folks enter the world of GLP-1’s with the expectation that the  medicine will take care of the desired weight loss on its own. Some of the tried and true (and not so successful in the long-run)  habits from the past may seem like a good option with of GLP-1’s;

• Skipping meals 
• Putting off exercise 
• Hydrating infrequently 
• Reducing consumption of fatty and sugary foods  

In fact these strategies will backfire.

Taking GLP-1’s and eating more protein at regular meals will help you maintain muscle. 

Hydrating on a regular basis will help reduce the side-effect of  constipation. 

Choosing healthy foods will support your body as you lose weight.

Fatty and sugary foods can cause nausea and gastric distress.

Did you know the number of suicide deaths in the US has decreased?

Most of us have had the occasional thought of wishing to “not be here anymore.” This happens when we feel that we are in a bad situation and that there is no way to relieve our suffering. 
Many times these thoughts are fleeting but some people experience them deeply when in crisis.

• Current research, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, reports that suicide deaths between the ages of 15 to 34 years of age have decreased by 11%, since the introduction of the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline in 2022.
  
  
• See the article in JAMA
  
  

The Lifeline offers the chance to reach out to a trained professional for help. They can offer support and alternatives to drastic solutions.

There is always a way through, but when we are in distress it is hard to see that on our own.

What you can do:

• If you or someone you know is at risk, take action!
• Share the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline number (988) 
• 0r the text address: 988lifeline.org/chat. 
• Seek professional help

Greetings All,
At our last practice meeting, we explored some of the negative effects of these chaotic times.
We shared how we deal with current events personally, and what we share with our patients to help them.
Here are some suggestions from the clinicians at PsyCare:

• Be sure to limit your exposure to the media, so you don’t become overloaded.
• Refrain from taking too much responsibility for “fixing problems”, personally or globally.
• Remember that periodically, all complex systems disintegrate in order to re-integrate at a higher level of functioning. (Chaos Theory)
• Foster a sense of equanimity that allows you to observe the events around you, from a mindful, objective perspective. (Refraining from sinking into despair).
• Invite an attitude of “ What is the next right thing?” We are never helpless, even in the face of adversity.    There is always something we can do, even if, for today, it is very small.
