Tomorrow you will wish you had started today.

Good morning,

Welcome to your Monday dose of health, common sense, and just enough motivation to start the week on the right foot… hopefully without heel pain.

Today’s newsletter covers two topics that come up all the time in real life (and in the office). First, we tackle a question many people quietly wonder about: does it really matter when you take your blood pressure medication? Morning, night, with coffee, without coffee—does timing actually make a difference, or is consistency the real key? The answer may surprise you and could help you get better results from the same medication you’re already taking.

We’re also talking about plantar fasciitis—otherwise known as that sharp, annoying heel pain that greets you first thing in the morning like an unwelcome alarm clock. If you’ve ever stepped out of bed and immediately questioned your life choices, this one’s for you. We’ll break down why it happens and, more importantly, what you can do to fix it and keep it from coming back.

And of course, don’t forget the tidbits—those quick, useful nuggets of health information that are easy to apply and often overlooked. Think of them as small wins that add up over time.

As always, thank you for being here. If you find something helpful (or entertaining), feel free to share this with a friend, family member, or that one person who insists on Googling symptoms at 2 a.m.

Here’s to a healthy, productive week ahead.

Does Timing Matter For Blood Pressure Pills?

For years, we told patients to take it in the morning. Now research says night might be better… or maybe not. The truth is more surprising—and simpler—than you think.
