    Quick bio and some words from Rob:

    Rob moved to Arizona in January 2022 from Oregon. While in Oregon, he was a Nike Trainer at Nike World Headquarters. At Nike, Bozada performed many tasks from training executives and sponsored athletes, consulting, worked in the sports research lab as well as product testing.

    Rob’s philosophies are based on principles of sport science and systems theory. He  has a broad scope of practice as a trainer  but enjoys focusing on mobility as well as strength and conditioning.

    Specialty:

    I provide a movement enhancement system that develops full-body control, increased strength and resilience within new ranges of motion.

    Flexibility pertains to one’s ability to passively attain a position; once there, little to no strength is present or manners in which to recover from the position. However, mobility pertains to one’s active range of motion; once in a position of end range, one has the strength and neural control to recover from the position. What this results in is a body that mitigates injury, can recover from positions which may have caused injury in the past and move through a much deeper range of motion with new levels of strength!

    We looked forward to having you at this mobility workshop!

  • What You Need to Know About the Current Bird Flu Outbreak

    What You Need to Know About the Current Bird Flu Outbreak

    The term “bird flu” has been making headlines recently, raising concerns about how it affects both animals and humans. As your partner in health and prevention, I want to help you understand what’s happening, the potential risks, and how you can protect yourself and your loved ones. Here is some general information about the bird flu.

    What Is Bird Flu?

    Bird flu, or avian influenza, refers to a group of influenza viruses that primarily affect birds. The current strain causing concern is H5N1, which has been spreading among wild birds and poultry in many parts of the world. While this strain is highly contagious among birds, infections in humans are rare.

    When bird flu does infect humans, it typically happens through direct contact with infected birds, their droppings, or contaminated surfaces. Fortunately, the virus does not spread easily from person to person.

    Why Is Bird Flu in the News?

    Recent outbreaks of H5N1 have raised alarm due to their impact on bird populations and the potential risk of transmission to humans. In some areas, the virus has also been detected in mammals, which scientists are closely monitoring for any signs of increased transmission to humans.

    While the risk to the general public remains low, staying informed is essential, especially if you work with animals, live in an affected area, or have other concerns about exposure.

    Symptoms of Bird Flu in Humans

    If a person is infected with bird flu, symptoms may range from mild to severe and can include:

    • Fever and chills
    • Cough and sore throat
    • Muscle aches
    • Difficulty breathing
    • Eye infections (conjunctivitis)

    Severe cases may lead to pneumonia or respiratory failure. If you experience flu-like symptoms after contact with birds or a known outbreak area, seek medical attention immediately.

    How to Protect Yourself

    Here are some simple but effective steps to reduce your risk:

    1. Avoid Contact with Wild Birds: Do not touch sick or dead birds. Keep a safe distance from wild bird habitats.
    2. Cook Poultry and Eggs Thoroughly: Proper cooking kills any potential viruses, so ensure poultry and eggs are cooked to a safe internal temperature.
    3. Practice Good Hygiene: Wash your hands often, especially after handling raw poultry or being in areas where birds are present.
    4. Stay Informed: Pay attention to updates from trusted public health sources about outbreaks in your area.

    Vaccination and Treatment

    Currently, there is no widely available vaccine for the H5N1 bird flu for humans. However, antiviral medications like oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and zanamivir (Relenza) may help treat the virus if given early in the infection.

    If you are concerned about exposure or have flu-like symptoms, it’s important to contact your healthcare provider promptly.

    Why Staying Informed Matters

    While the bird flu is not a cause for panic, it’s an important reminder of how interconnected our health is with the world around us. At Everwell Health Solutions, we believe prevention and preparedness are key to staying healthy and resilient.

    If you have any questions about the bird flu or want personalized advice on protecting your health, I’m here to help.
