Thanksgiving Day invites us to slow down and breathe. It offers a gentle time to reflect on our health and our relationships.
At Fallbrook Medical Center, we see how gratitude supports good health all year. Research links gratitude with better mood, sleep, and even heart health.
This article shares a happy thanksgiving message for our community. You will also find ideas and thanksgiving messages you can share with loved ones.
Your mind and your emotions are deeply connected. Yet mental health and emotional health are not exactly the same. Understanding both can help you notice early signs of struggle, build healthy relationships, and protect your physical health over time.
At Fallbrook Medical Center, we see mental and emotional well-being as part of whole-person care. Mental health includes your emotional, psychological and social well-being, affecting how you think, feel and act in daily life. Emotional health focuses more on your ability to manage and express feelings in a healthy way. Both matter and both can be supported.
Collagen is everywhere-in our skin, joints, and connective tissues. It’s also trending in powders, gummies, and drinks that promise improving skin, joint health, and fewer signs of aging. But a big question remains: can collagen cause acne?
Short answer: there’s no solid clinical evidence that collagen peptides directly trigger acne. Breakouts arise from a different pathway, and most studies find oral collagen safe with minimal side effects. What matters more are your skin biology, your skincare routine, your balanced diet. The additional ingredients that ride along with some products.
