After The 4th Of July Celebrations We All Need A Little Relaxation So Let's Relax And Start The Weekend With 🐟Fishy Friday! 🐟

A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member asked a question 💭
Roswell, GA

Soft music and beautiful ocean creatures for relaxing days or when you need a clean space to quiet your soul. It is ideal when you listen to this type of music while reading, studying, meditating, resting or even when you are doing housework. This is one of the best-sounding materials for a guided meditation or a relaxation session before bed.🐟

Hi Angie. I am taking Repatha twice a month with no side effects and excellent results regarding my lipids. I am not taking statins because of adverse side effects. Repatha alone is doing the job.
