World Heart Day!! 🫀 20.09.2026

Giving back to the community as a medical professional is one of the things I love to do and this day we decided to do so by creating awareness on the importance of cardiovascular health and knowing your numbers.

“Know your numbers.” It’s more than just a phrase associated with heart health; it’s a reminder to make these routine health checks a priority.

📌 Check your blood pressure.
📌 Check your cholesterol levels.
📌 Check your blood sugar.

why? Because even when you feel perfectly fine these numbers can reveal important risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

Don’t just assume your heart is healthy because you feel fine.

Move more. Eat well. Most importantly, Know your numbers. ❤️

☢️ On today’s episode of A-Z series of Cancer, today we have Letter X.

X➡️ X-RAY 🩻

☣️ I’m sure when you think of an X-ray, you probably think of a broken bone. But in the world of oncology, X-ray is a quiet and powerful tool.
⚠️ X-ray isn’t used to confirm or diagnose cancer!!.

🖱️ In cancer care, it is used to:
✨ Screen for early signs (like mammograms)
✨ Pinpoint exactly where a tumor lives
✨ Deliver precise radiation therapy to shrink masses through radiotherapy.

Every tool matters in this fight and it’s important to know how each tool works.

Drop a 🎗️ if you’ve been following our A-Z journey! And tell me the letter that stood out to you the most.

W is for Warning Signs 🚨

‼️ Cancer doesn’t always come with a big, dramatic announcement. Sometimes, it starts with changes you might even easily dismiss as “normal.”

A lump that wasn’t there before. Unexplained weight loss. Unusual prolonged bleeding. Persistent pain. Changes in your skin or bowel movements.

The main point isn’t to panic — it’s to be proactive and pay attention. 👀
⚠️ Having these symptoms does NOT automatically mean you have cancer, but persistent or unusual changes deserve medical attention.

Thing is your body is always communicating. Make sure you listen 🩷.

I can explain! 🥹😩. It’s been more than a month trying to balance life, 9-5, school, side quests…

But we’re back for good ‘hopefully’ 🙂 (had this video done since July) editing was a hassle😩.

Continuing our A-Z series of Cancer right were we left off 🥁 🥁

Letter V.

V - Vaccination 💉

I had a friend once tell me “I’ll get the vaccine when I need it”. I’m sure this is something we’ve said one time or the other. But really this is like locking your doors after an intruder has gotten it.

Some cancers can be stopped or prevented before they even start just by simply getting vaccinated. I know we’re scared of the needles or busy, but seriously when you think about it the pros outweighs the cons 🤷‍♀️

Preventive medicine is showing up early and being proactive with your health.

So today book that appointment and do the needful.

Thanks to all those who checked up on me 🤗💖

🤍 Today’s A - Z moment we have a tough letter in slides 🛝

U-Ultraviolet Radiation ☢️ ☀️

🌞 UV rays are a type of light energy that comes from sun.

Our bodies are remarkably good at repairing damaged skin cells, but repeated UV exposure over time can lead to DNA damage that accumulates and increases the risk of skin cancer.

When we think about skin cancer, we often imagine years of excessive sun exposure or severe sunburns.

But cancer risk isn’t built in a single day.

It can be influenced by the small moments we rarely think about—waiting outdoors, running errands, or spending time in the sun without protection.

📝 That’s why cancer awareness isn’t only about recognizing symptoms—it’s also about understanding the everyday habits that can help reduce risk.

🎗️ Here are a few ways to protect your skin:
☀️ Wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher).
🧢 Wear protective clothing, a hat, face cap and sunglasses when appropriate.
🌳 Seek shade during periods of intense sunlight.

Every step you take to protect your skin is a step toward reducing your long-term risk.

💙 Save this post to remind yourself that prevention often begins with small, everyday choices.

💭 Can you really make genuine friends from your 9–5?

Well, for me, I think you can.

When I first started 9-5, I was very careful and skeptical about this especially due to online gist and bants😂😂. However, luckily for me I was met with people who not only trained, mentored and encouraged me, but ended up being some of my amazing friends today.

And no, I’m not saying every colleague will become family, neither am I ignoring the fact that not every workplace is healthy. But I do believe that when you’re surrounded by people who genuinely celebrate you, challenge you to grow, and show up for you beyond the job description, those relationships can become more than just work friendships.

Considering how much of our lives we spend at work, I think it’s a beautiful thing when we find more than just a paycheck—also find genuine people. And for that, I’m truly grateful.

There’s a verse in the Bible that says, “A man who has friends must himself be friendly” (Proverbs 18:24, NKJV). As someone who deeply values her personal space, I’m still learning and growing in my own journey of building friendships. It’s a gentle reminder that if we’re hoping for genuine friendships, we should also strive to be the kind of friend we’re looking for.

Happy New Month 🎉 here’s to finding purpose in our work, building meaningful relationships, and walking through life with people who make the journey even better. 🤍

Welcome to Q3! ✨
