Epigenetics is all about how our environment and lifestyle choices can influence gene expression—essentially, how our genes react to what we do. While some factors are beyond our control, like genetics or age, there’s so much we can influence through daily habits. Small changes may seem insignificant at first, but they will lead to profound differences over time. This year, consider what tiny habit you could adopt that aligns with your goals—whether it’s drinking more water, taking a short walk each day, or practising gratitude. Every great journey begins with a single step! What small change will you commit to this year and maybe even inspires those around you ✨

Consistent, sustainable change beats temporary fixes, any time of the year. As we embark on a new year, shift your focus toward a health goal that works for you and your unique lifestyle. When it comes to diet and exercise plans, one size does not fit all. Around the new year, finding support by trying the latest trend with your spouse or a group of friends can be an excellent way to stay accountable to your goal. But remember, if it’s not working for you, don’t force it! Take a holistic approach and don’t hesitate to seek professional support when needed. This way, you can transform fleeting resolutions into a lifetime of health. https://hubs.li/Q0311hGr0 #HealthyLifestyle #PersonalizedHealth #NewYearsGoals #MindsetShift #Consistency

#HarrisonHealthHack Find an activity, movement, or exercise you enjoy and engage in it as frequently as possible. Embrace a refreshing perspective: it's not about becoming a 'new you,' but rather reconnecting with what you truly love. This year, take the time to rediscover those passions that ignite your spirit and make your heart beat a little faster. Exercise Physiology Practice Lead JP reminds us it's okay not to hit the gym: "I don't enjoy formal aerobic exercise, so I achieve my aerobic needs through sport." Whether it's dancing, hiking, gardening, or simply enjoying a leisurely stroll in your neighborhood, make your journey enjoyable and fulfilling—not forced. This is the year to cultivate routines that resonate with who you are at your core. What activities are you excited to dive back into? #TeamTips #StaffEngagement #PreventiveHealthcare #ProactiveHealthHabits

As we step into the new year, let’s shift our focus from merely counting years to embracing the quality of those years—it's all about healthspan, not just lifespan! 🌟 It's 2025, let's strive for lives filled with vitality and purpose. It’s not about how long we live but how well we live each moment, aligned with our goals and aspirations. Remember, having a great care team is important, but the true power lies in our hands! 🌱 Commit to healthy lifestyle choices that enhance your wellbeing. Make this year a celebration of living fully! Share your healthspan goals below; we’d love to hear them! 💪✨ #ThriveIn2025 #Healthspan #HealthyLifestyleChoices #Prevention #ProactiveHealthcare

#HarrisonHealthHack As we navigate the holiday festivities and our normal schedules take a back seat, our digestion can sometimes hit a bump on the sleigh ride. If you're experiencing a bout of constipation, you're not alone. Here's a simple, yet effective tip from one of our Nurse Practitioners: try elevating your feet with a stool while seated on the toilet. This squat-like position helps align your colon for easier passage. It's a small change with a big impact. Remember to stay hydrated and keep moving while you're out of your routine, even if it's just a dance to your favorite holiday tune. #TeamTips #StaffEngagement #PreventiveHealthcare #ProactiveHealthHabits

Reflecting on the past year, we are thankful for the commitment to Harrison's vision from our team members, collaboration from our exceptional partners, and the trust our dedicated clients put in us. It is a privilege to support each one of them on their healthcare journey - and we extend the warmest wishes to the whole Harrison community this holiday season.

Did you know that a staggering 75% of our longevity is influenced by lifestyle factors? 🌿 This means the choices we make every day significantly impact both our lifespan and our quality of life! Imagine if you committed to making just one small change each month. It could be as simple as swapping sugary drinks for water, adding an additional serving of vegetables into your meals, or introducing a brief walk into your workday. Over time, these small adjustments can add up to monumental health benefits! Start by choosing one small change to implement this month and observe the positive effects it has on your life. Every step toward healthier habits is valuable! Encourage a friend or family member to join you on this journey and try these changes together. You'll be paving the way to a longer, more vibrant life side by side! 💪✨ #Longevity #HealthyHabits #Prevention #ProactiveHealthcare #LifestyleChange
