Hi ,

How are you doing my fam?

I want to share a personal story about my friend that really hit home for me.

My friend, let’s call her Kevwe, has always been the kind of person who seems to have it all together. She’s slim, eats pretty well, and stays active. Honestly, she’s one of those people who makes the rest of us feel a little guilty for skipping a workout! But recently, something happened that completely surprised us.

Kevwe went for a routine check-up, and her doctor called her back with some alarming news: her cholesterol levels were through the roof. None of us could believe it. How could someone who looks so healthy on the outside have such a serious issue?

Before she could even wrap her head around it, Kevwe ended up in the hospital with the worst chest pain. It was scary for all of us, and thankfully, she’s okay now. But it was a huge wake-up call.

What I learned from Kevwe’s story is that health isn’t always what it seems. You can look and feel fine on the outside, but there might be things going on inside that you’d never expect. High cholesterol, for example, doesn’t care if you’re slim or active—it can affect anyone.

So, here’s my gentle nudge to you: don’t wait for a wake-up call like Kevwe’s. If it’s been a while since your last check-up, consider scheduling one. A simple blood test could give you peace of mind—or catch something early before it becomes a bigger problem.

Let’s take care of ourselves, not just for us, but for the people who care about us, too.

Yours in All things Health and Wellness,

Dr Chinasa
