In this episode, host Rosemarie Crosdale, AGNP-C, continues that mission with a powerful reminder: it’s time to prioritize your health.

Rosemarie covers timely health concerns like the recent Legionnaire’s disease outbreak in New York, while also breaking down the importance of staying up to date on preventive vaccines—including pneumonia, shingles, flu, MMR, varicella, Tdap, Hepatitis A & B, and HPV.

As a longtime listener, you’ll appreciate the deeper dive into essential wellness steps, such as:

  • Making your annual physical a non-negotiable
  • Asking for critical blood work like A1C, thyroid function, lipid profile, vitamin D, iron/ferritin, CRP, and a CBC
  • Keeping current with screenings like Pap smears, mammograms, colonoscopies, and a DEXA scan for bone health

This episode also touches on an often-overlooked topic: sexual health. Rosemarie emphasizes the importance of STD testing for HIV, syphilis, and gonorrhea, along with the protective benefits of condom use.

By staying proactive with screenings, vaccines, and honest conversations with your providers, you’re setting yourself up for strength, longevity, and the ability to keep showing up for those you love.
