From the Experts: EvergreenHealth Providers Reveal Their Favorite Wellness Tips
EvergreenHealth Providers Share Their Best Advice to Help You and Your Family Live Well in the New Year and Beyond!
EvergreenHealth providers past and present have long shared the common goal of advancing the health of the community. While you can get wellness tips virtually anywhere, the current generation of EvergreenHealth providers and physicians weighed in with the wellness tips they implement in their own lives.
"Whether it be changing your diet, exercising, meditating, improving your sleep, consistency is key. It matters more that you do something small every day and make it a habit rather than go all out once or twice and then run out of steam. The small changes add up over time and they stay with you a lot longer." – A Shuravloff, DO | EvergreenHealth Primary Care, Sultan
"Surround yourself with family and friends that are also interested in achieving health goals can really help. Encouraging each other and having allies can be huge." – Daniel Ratzlaff, MD | EvergreenHealth Primary Care, Kenmore
"Small sustainable changes are oftentimes better than short-lived drastic ones." – Catherine Choi, DO | EvergreenHealth Primary Care, Redmond Bella Bottega
"I find joy in daily movement: even a short evening walk can bring a multitude of cardiovascular and mental health benefits." – Marcus Zeitz, DO | EvergreenHealth Primary Care, Woodinville
"This might sound silly, but I think mobile grocery ordering is a huge trick to healthy eating. It's so much more time-efficient than shopping in store, freeing you up to do other things that are important to you, and it allows you to make healthy choices without the temptation of the grocery store aisles. Meal planning and having groceries on hand is the only way I can avoid the pull of takeout!" – Keria Madow, MSW, LICSW | Perinatal Mental Health Services
"My favorite quote that is related to wellness or lifestyle: 'The six best doctors: sunshine, water, rest, air, exercise and diet.'" – Yuemei Li, PA-C, MCS | Neurosurgery
Whether you're looking to implement small or drastic changes to your health and wellness, we suggest consulting with your primary care physician so they can help personalize your goals to your health.
