It's time for Myth-Busting Monday!

Did you know that the concept of the weekend as we know it-two days off from work-didn't become standard until the early 20th century? With the rise of the labor movement, many industries adopted the 5-day workweek by the 1920s and 1930s, giving workers both Saturday and Sunday off to rest and recharge.

But let's be honest-wouldn't a 3-day weekend be even better?! 🤔Imagine having an extra day for self-care, family time, or simply doing what you love💭One can dream, right?💭

Until then, make the most of this weekend and enjoy every moment!

🚨 False alarm! 🚨 Not every vaccine gives you forever immunity-some need a little booster love to keep you protected. Stay smart, stay safe, and keep those shots up to date, so you can stay healthy and feeling great💉

Grill masters, rejoice! It's no secret that summer and BBQ go hand in hand. Grilling is the perfect way to enjoy a healthy, delicious meal. Whether you're grilling up chicken, seafood, or beef, grilling your dishes allows fats to drip away, preserves more nutrients, enhances flavors without added oils, and reduces clean-up time. So fire up those grills and savor the flavor of summer! And don't forget to follow the link below to check out our blog post for mouth-watering grill recipes🔥🍗🌽https://bit.ly/3Dcpinw

☀️🔥 It's getting HOT out there! Remember to stay cool, hydrated, and sun-smart. Wear your shades, slap on some sunscreen, and find some shade! 🌴💦 How are you beating the heat today? Share your tips below👇

This month's HVHealthy adventure is led by the incredible Dr. Baker and Mary! They took on the stunning Icicle Ridge Trail in Leavenworth, known for its breathtaking views and vibrant wildflowers. Check out their amazing photos🗻🥾

Tomorrow is Rainier Cherry Day-a day to celebrate the deliciousness that thrives in our very own PNW backyard! How could we not honor this flavorful fruit?

🗻 Rainier cherries were developed in 1952 at Washington State University by crossing two other cherry varieties, the Bing and the Van cherry.
🍒 While they were first developed in Washington, Rainier cherries are now grown in other regions of the United States, including Oregon and California.
🗻 Like other cherries, Rainier cherries are a good source of vitamins A and C, fiber, and antioxidants. They can help with inflammation and support overall health.
🍒 Rainier cherries are delicious eaten fresh, but they can also be used in a variety of recipes, including salads, desserts, and beverages. Their sweetness, often described as honey-like, pairs well with both savory and sweet dishes.

Did you know that laughter can actually improve your health? Laughter increases blood flow, boosts the immune system, and releases endorphins, which are natural painkillers and mood lifters. So, a good laugh really can be the best medicine!

Can you believe it!? HorizonView Health is SIX years old!

🚪 On July 2nd, 2018, our clinic opened its doors for the very first time.
9️⃣ We started with 9 employees and now have grown to 25!
5️⃣ Of the original 9, 5 are still with us: Dr. Baker, Mary, Jane, Leilani, and Sara.
🌮 Many of the ideas for HorizonView came to life at a local Mexican restaurant, where the original team would meet and let their creative juices flow.
🤯 We began with just one office and have now expanded to three!
🏋️ Over the past six years, more than 900 patients have completed our Medical Weight Loss Program!
🏠 To date, over 4,500 patients call HorizonView Health their home for all of their healthcare needs.

🥳Without our 4,500 patients, we wouldn't be where we are today, so thank you for being part of our journey!

Please be advised that our office will be closed next Thursday, July 4th, in observance of Independence Day. We will operate with normal business hours on Wednesday, July 3rd, and Friday, July 5th. Please plan accordingly should you need anything from our office. Thank you for your understanding✨
