From the desk of Dr. Phuong Thach:
The Omicron variant of SARS-COV-2 is an incredibly contagious variant. While the transmissibility rate (R0) of the Alpha variant was R0 = 2.5, the R0 for Omicron is 8.0. The Omicron variant virus replicates 70x faster than the Delta variant. So far, it appears that this particular variant has produced the least severe symptoms compared to the previous variants. Nevertheless, it should not be taken lightly because for many people are still experiencing enough severe symptoms to need hospitalization. The most remarkable observation we have witnessed from this variant is its breakthrough infections that are occurring among both the vaccinated and those previously infected with COVID-19. In other words, you can still catch this variant even though you are vaccinated or have been previously infected by a previous variant. The good news is that if you are infected by Omicron, the symptoms will most likely be mild and you have a high probability of having immunity to both the Omicron and Delta variants. Regardless, I urge you to take precautions and do everything you can to build your immunity and body’s natural defense.

If you have not worked with me to a build a personalized immune boosting protocol, I highly urge you to do so.
Or if you know of someone who needs help overcoming COVID, please have them contact me.
You can make an appointment online through my website: www.hawkerhealth.com or call/text: 425-333-7878

Thank you, and praying you stay happy and healthy during this time!
Many blessings,

It is almost unimaginable that any of us were able to escape this past year and half unscathed. The world as we once knew will never be the same. These noticeable shifts in our society have severely impacted our mental, emotional and spiritual health. To find peace during these time of turmoil and unrest, we must turn to our Creator to find peace and comfort.
In this post, I share with you some of my favorite Bible verses that I refer to almost daily to help me get through these tough times. These verses not only provide motivation, inspiration, comfort, peace, and strength, they also give me understanding to what is happening in our world and what to do. I pray that God's Word will bless you.
"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28

It is difficult to imagine that any of us were able to escape this past year unscathed. While many of us may not have been directly affected physically by COVID19, riots or political unrest, the world as we knew it has changed significantly, and in fact, may never be like it once was ever again. These noticeable shifts in our society have severely impacted our mental, emotional, and spiritual health, whether we'd like admit it or not. In addition to dealing with turmoil on a macro-scale, many of us also face turmoil and upheavals in our personal lives that continuously pound our psyche.
Today, I would like to share with you a message, and that message is: "It is okay to grieve". In our society, we are often taught to act "tough", "hide weaknesses", and "present ourselves as if everything is okay". Dear brothers and sisters, there is a difference between "acting" versus "being". Today, and moving forward, I urge you to "be" instead of "act and suppress", for acting and suppressing cause more problems than one can enumerate. If you are hurting, it would be courageous if you were to allow yourself to grieve - to recognize the feelings of sadness, hurt, anger, pain, or whatever it may be and sit with the discomfort for a little while. Cry if you need to; it's okay to cry, especially for you men, it's okay to cry. Dig deep and be vulnerable enough to be able to share your pain with others and with God. We were not created to be alone nor grieve alone. In Psalm 34:18, "God tells us He is near when we are broken-hearted and He saves those who are crushed in spirit". "Cast your burden onto Him and He shall sustain you" ~Psalm 55:22.

In response to the emerging mental health crisis, my clinic, the Hawker Center for Integrative Medicine, has created a new department to help those who are seeking spiritual help, specifically, Christian counseling. At anytime between 10am-10pm, you can call the number 425-333-7896 (this number is different from our front desk number) and speak with a licensed or certified health professional. This service is for everyone, and the first 15 minutes of your first call is free.
I am in the process of getting the website updated, but if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to message me or comment below!
Thank you and God Bless!
