If you woke up on January 1 thinking, new year, new me, only to see your New Year’s health goals fly out the window by the second, you’re not alone.
Research from the University of Scranton found just eight per cent of people actually achieve their resolutions.
So what’s the secret to setting health goals that actually stick? WHO asked TerryWhite Chemmart Woodcroft’s Chief Pharmacist, Salma Abou-Abdallah, Woodcroft, SA, just that…
I want to feel healthier this year. Where do I start?
Whether you have specific health goals, like quitting smoking or losing weight, or you just want to feel your best self, your TerryWhite Chemmart pharmacist can help.
We’re much more than medication experts – we’re your accessible partners in health who can offer a range of services and health checks in the privacy of a CareClinic room.
I feel like I’ve tried everything to lose weight. Can my pharmacist really help?
Absolutely. Weight loss is different for everyone, so having someone by your side to guide you on the best options can be a game-changer.
You can ask your pharmacist about medical weight loss and the TerryWhite Chemmart Weight Care Program to help track your progress and stay motivated.
Maybe you just need some advice on nutrition, meal-replacement shakes and lifestyle changes, or you might need a medication review to check if anything is impacting your weight.
We’re here to answer your questions.
What can my pharmacist do to help me quit smoking?
Remember, it’s never too late to quit.
Quitting smoking brings multiple wins – better cardiovascular health, improved lung function, better skin tone and more energy for the year ahead.
Your TerryWhite Chemmart pharmacist can tailor a nicotine cessation plan to suit your lifestyle, including nicotine replacement therapies and certain medications where appropriate.
Plus, they’re great motivators! Regular check-ins can boost your success rate.
Are these services all available at the Terry White CareClinic?
They sure are! You can also stay up to date with your vaccinations, book a general health check, and more.
The TerryWhite Chemmart CareClinic is made for health goals and concerns that need a little extra care today.
We know sometimes discussions about your health and health goals aren’t suited for a busy pharmacy.
That’s why our CareClinic rooms are private spaces for you and your pharmacist to have a confidential chat without having to wait for an appointment.
