Medication Monday: Bisoprolol

Brand Name: Zebeta

Bisoprolol is a cardioselective beta blocker that blocks the affect adrenaline has on your heart. It slows your heart rate, reduces the force of each contraction and lowers your blood pressure. 

Over time, this gives the heart an opportunity to rest, which is very important when managing heart failure. 

Bisoprolol is typically started at a low dose and increased over time through a process called titration. This allows your body the opportunity to adjust while your team finds the right dose for you without causing overwhelming symptoms. 

KNOWLEDGE IS THE BEST MEDICINE! 
Be an ACTIVE participant in your treatment ❤️

Cardiac rehab isn’t just about exercising. You relearn how to live confidently with your heart after a cardiac event or diagnosis. You rebuild trust in your heart, something that many take for granted. 

Cardiac rehab combines monitored exercise, education, and emotional support over the course of several weeks. The goal is always to help you regain strength, confidence and independence. 

If the doctor has recommend cardiac rehab for you or a loved one, I promise it’s not a punishment. 
It takes time but you can rebuild trust with your heart again ❤️

Sometimes we decide what God’s voice is supposed to sound like and then listen for that one thing. We want the dramatic signs from God and the minute we don’t get it, we begin to doubt.

Silence and absence are not the same thing. There will be seasons where the answer hasn’t come yet and it feels like God isn’t hearing your prayers. However, always remember that the God of all creation is never short on words. He speaks through scripture, he speaks through people and he also speaks peace that comes during the toughest times.

So, the question isn’t whether God is speaking to you…It’s have you gotten quiet enough to hear him? ❤️

Through my many years in leadership roles within healthcare, I learned that healthcare isn’t what happens within a hospital or clinics four walls. It’s how we live, navigate resources and advocate for ourselves in our community. 

Community Health Workers are the bridge between everyday people, medical systems and vital resources. We make sure that nobody navigates this journey alone and with my PROFESSIONAL AND LIVED EXPERIENCE, 

I AM PROUD TO BE THAT BRIDGE 🫶🏾❤️

It’s NATIONAL CHW AWARENESS WEEK!!!

Healthcare doesn’t start when you go to the doctor, it begins where you eat, sleep, work, learn and play! 

CHW’s help bridge the gap between the care you receive at the doctors office or hospital to your everyday life. We advocate for health equity, safe housing, food access, and so much more! 

This week, I don’t want to just celebrate the work, I want to honor my passion, the advocacy and lived experience that has equipped me to make a change in my community and these online streets 😂 

Drop a heart to honor this work and celebrate with me!!!🎉

Good morning family! 

Most days I take my meds and feel happy, grateful and all of the things.

This morning, I took them and I just felt tired of taking them. 🤦🏾‍♀️ I make space for both emotions because they are allowed. 

You don’t have to feel inspired to do the thing that keeps you alive…you just have to do it.

So get up and move that body, take that walk, eat healthy and TAKE YOUR MEDS! 

Love yall ❤️

Did you know your heart pumps roughly 2,000 gallons of blood through your body every single day? 

That’s the equivalent of filling a small swimming pool, all powered by a muscle the size of your fist, working nonstop to keep you ALIVE. 

Your heart shows up for you every second of the day. Let’s give it the same devotion in return through moving our bodies, getting adequate rest, nourishment through nutrient dense meals, and taking care of our mental health. 

Knowledge is the best medicine. ❤️
