Do's and Don'ts

Do's

  • Do schedule regular wellness check-ups, even when you feel healthy

    Routine screenings help catch issues early and give you peace of mind about your overall health.

  • Do follow a balanced diet that includes whole grains, lean proteins, healthy fats, fruits, and vegetables

    Nutrition plays a key role in preventing chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease.

  • Do stay physically active with regular movement throughout the week

    Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise, like walking or cycling, to support cardiovascular and mental health.

  • Do stay current with recommended vaccinations and health screenings for your age group

    Preventative immunizations protect you and those around you from serious diseases.

  • Do find healthy ways to manage stress, such as meditation, deep breathing, hobbies, or speaking with a counselor

    Chronic stress can negatively impact both physical and mental health.

  • Do prioritize sleep by maintaining a consistent sleep schedule and creating a restful environment

    Quality sleep is essential for immune function, mood, and energy levels.

  • Do openly share your family medical history with your provider

    It helps us identify potential risks early and tailor your care accordingly.

Don'ts

  • Don’t wait for symptoms to appear before seeing a doctor

    Many conditions develop silently, and early detection can make all the difference in effective treatment.

  • Don’t rely on crash diets, excessive restrictions, or skip meals

    These habits can cause nutritional imbalances and increase health risks over time.

  • Don’t spend long periods sitting without breaks or ignore the effects of a sedentary lifestyle

    Physical inactivity is linked to a higher risk of many preventable illnesses.

  • Don’t assume you're immune to illness or skip routine vaccinations

    Protection can wane over time, and booster doses may be necessary.

  • Don’t ignore signs of emotional or mental strain

    Stress, anxiety, and depression are common—and treatable—parts of your health journey.

  • Don’t assume you're not at risk for hereditary conditions simply because you feel fine

    Family history can be a key indicator of future health needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Preventative medicine focuses on maintaining health and avoiding disease through regular screenings, health education, vaccinations, and lifestyle support.

Most adults should have a yearly physical. Depending on age, gender, and health risks, your provider may recommend additional screenings more or less frequently.

Common screenings include blood pressure, cholesterol, blood glucose, cancer screenings (e.g., mammograms, colonoscopies), and mental health assessments.

Many insurance plans fully cover preventive services. Check with your provider or ask our team to help verify coverage.

Because many chronic diseases are lifestyle-related, guidance on nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management is essential for prevention and long-term wellness.
