On Monday, March 25th, Puerto Rico’s health secretary, Carlos Mellado, declared a dengue epidemic following a spike in cases. This decision was made by both the health secretary and epidemiology agency official, Melissa Marzán, mainly because this has been the eighth consecutive week that the agency's surveillance system has reported a number of cases higher than the epidemiological threshold.

In the midst of our jam-packed lives, where back-to-back meetings blur into late-night emails, and "busy" is everyone's middle name, there's a critical piece of the puzzle often shoved to the back burner: nutrition. Yes, I’m talking about what fuels the very engine of our high-octane lives. This March, as the world dives headfirst into National Nutrition Month®, we take a different route. We're going beyond the mere act of eating and exploring what it truly means to nourish ourselves in the chaos of our everyday lives.

Modern healthcare constantly uncovers the delicate interplays within our body's systems. Two pivotal studies have highlighted the profound roles of sleep and stress in weight regulation. To truly grasp the implications, we must venture into the hormonal mechanics at play.

Keep your goals on track with an annual checkup

Health enthusiasts! We’ve hit the mid-2023 mark, and to many, that means going back to their New Year resolutions to see if they are on track. If, by any chance, you’re off track or are planning to schedule your annual checkup, we have a new tool that might tempt you to join Pravan Health: the InBody 770, a body composition analyzer that goes beyond the traditional scale to provide a comprehensive view of your health and fitness.

A multipurpose treatment

At Pravan, we’re focused on bringing constant innovation to our patients. And that's why we brought EMSELLA, an innovative machine that provides non-invasive electromagnetic stimulation of pelvic floor musculature using High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic technology (HIFEM) to rehabilitate weak pelvic muscles and restore neuromuscular control for treating females’ and males’ urinary incontinence. The device allows you to perform over 11,000 supramaximal contractions in 28-minute sessions.

What is the pelvic floor, and what's its function?

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that support the pelvic organs, including the bladder, uterus or prostate, and rectum. Not that surprisingly, these muscles play a crucial role in sexual health as they contribute to sexual arousal, support sexual function, and provide pleasure during sexual activity. So when these muscles are not strong, your sexual health can be impacted negatively.

They’re all over Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok; fashion magazines are talking about them. Many have started a conversation around unrealistic beauty standards set by celebrities using Ozempic® and other drugs to lose weight. But what’s the hype? Is there a healthy way of using them? 

So, What's the Hype all About?

GLP-1 (Semaglutide, Ozempic ®, Wegovy ®) and GIP (Tirzepatide, Mounjaro ®)  agonists are a class of medications that have recently gained a lot of attention for their potential as weight loss treatments. These drugs were initially developed in 2016 to manage Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, but a revealing secondary outcome was its effect on weight loss, an area in which it provided unbelievable results. 

Any parent knows that the pediatrician is one of the most important doctors in their lives. Is a doctor-patient relationship that goes beyond knowledge; it needs trust to flourish since it will last until the child is 21 years old.
