If you are 65 years old or older, you have been receiving lots of calls, letters, and emails regarding the Medicare Open Enrollment period from October 15 through December 7. What you may not know is that nationally, roughly 70% of Medicare patients do not review their plan during the open enrollment period. That can be scary and leave opportunities to discover unwelcome or unwanted changes in coverage when they visit a doctor, pharmacy, or other provider in the new plan year.
Another fun fact is that Medicare Advantage Plans have become the way that most Medicare Patients receive their Medicare benefits. Around 50% of Medicare beneficiaries chose to enroll in a Medicare Advantage Plan. Advantage Plans became popular because most offer benefits that are not covered by traditional Medicare.
This morning we are fortunate to talk with Trisha Witts from our local five star advantage plan, PrimeTime Health Plan. PrimeTime is locally owned and when you call, you will be talking to a neighbor or friend to help you understand your Medicare benefits and options.

Are you considering quitting smoking, or is there someone in your life that you want to help quit smoking? When someone takes the big step of deciding to quit smoking, family, friends, and co-workers can make a huge difference by giving their help and support.
If your friend isn't quite ready to quit, try to see it from their side. For most smokers, cigarettes have been a steady companion for a long time. Some reluctance is normal, and it doesn't mean your friend won't be able to quit for good. First, let your friend know you understand their doubts, then suggest they list their reasons for quitting.
Quitting smoking is a journey and a process, not a single event. Access resources to get tips on what you can do from the start to help someone quit and to help them “stay quit.” Plan on being there for the long run and helping them meet the challenges along the way.
This morning we will talk with Ashley about the reasons to quit smoking, managing the physical effects of quitting smoking and most importantly, how to receive help and support through the process.

Mental Health Awareness Month has been observed in the U.S. since 1949. Every year during the month of May our goal is to raise awareness about mental health. It’s an opportunity for all of us to come together and remember the inherent value we each hold — no matter our diagnosis, appearance, socioeconomic status, background or ability. We want every person out there to know that if all you did was wake up today, that’s more than enough. No matter what, you are inherently worthy of more than enough life, love and healing. Showing up, just as you are, for yourself and the people around you is more than enough.
This morning we are happy to share this time with Elena Aslanides-Kandis and Justina Gorman from Stark County Mental Health and Addiction Recovery, a multi-faceted county behavioral health board comprised of expert professionals, dedicated volunteers and concerned community leaders.

Do you remember a time when you had abundant energy and felt vibrant? When you slept well, you didn’t need caffeine, you were able to consume foods that didn’t result in weight gain. If you did gain weight you could make some easy adjustments and lose it fast. As we age, things change.
Perhaps you are struggling to recall words easily or you are wishing you were experiencing that passionate spark with you spouse or loved one. Are you wondering what happened?
The Mayo Clinic has published studies that show changes in hormone levels and metabolism as we age.
When you were younger, hormones like thyroid, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA and pregnenolone were produced in abundance and in balance, but aging and stress can deplete many of the hormones that kept your body young, healthy and strong. The good news is that they can be replaced with Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT). Bioidentical hormones are not magic, they do not cure all disease, but they can restore your body to a healthier place, similar to when you were younger.
This morning we will talk with Marna about BHRT and the services offered at Vitality Med.

February is American Heart Month. Why do we observe American Heart Month every February? Well, every year more than 600,000 Americans die from heart disease. The number one cause of deaths for most groups, heart disease affects all ages, genders, and ethnicities. Risk factors include high cholesterol, high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, and excessive alcohol use.
This year’s Heart Month theme is Take up a Heart Healthy Habit. You can pick a new heart healthy habit like jogging or substituting sodas with water and try to stick to it for a whole month. But I would like to challenge you to a very important heart health habit: Understand your medication and take it as prescribed. Did you know that nationally only 30% of patients take their blood pressure medications correctly?
If you struggle with taking your medication correctly, let us help you manage your medication refills and pack them in individual dose packs to help you follow one of the most important health habits – taking your medication correctly!
