In this community I am going to share common illnesses that I see in the Urgent Care and some of the discussions that I have had with my patients. I hope that they will resonate with you and you will be able to see how, once you understand your body, most problems can be taken care of at home. Also, and more importantly, when you need to go to the doctor. When you understand what your body is telling you, you understand what to tell the doctor and the guess work drastically decreases and so does your bill as you will be doing far less unnecessary tests trying to find an answer! So Please, introduce yourself, where you are from and wins that you have had with your health!

Hey welcome to Prime Your Health! I am Dr. Jenkins, or Dr J. I have been an Urgent Care Doctor for the last 10 years. I know people are frustrated with their health. Those frustrations come from rising health care costs, SO many opinions online of how to care for your health, many of which come from people who AREN'T EVEN DOCTORS!! I want to help you understand how to take care of your body at home, what all the different options are from taking care of colds, diet and exercise and so much more! If you are new to the community, please drop your name, where you are from and questions you have about your healthcare. ******** This is not a Teledoc service, so I am NOT diagnosing and treating you. This is meant to be a place where I teach you what to take care of at home, and when and where to go if a deeper dive is needed **********

I want to get a feel for where people feel their health IQ is. I see patients everyday, I talk to friends and family. I have a pretty good idea where most people stand. So, where do you stand? (Legend: Illnesses = coughs, colds, stomach bugs injuries etc. Health = diet, dieting, exercise etc)
