WEIGHT LOSS BENEFITS Weight Loss Benefit...Continued

Seek outside support

There is help out there. An entire industry, in fact. A variety of professionals can help you meet your weight-loss goals, not just for the immediate future, but for the long term. Many of these professionals also have a solid understanding of the role that emotions can play in weight management and/ or obesity. Finding a professional you enjoy working with, and/or a program or group you enjoy participating in, can make all the difference to your goals.

Talk it out

If you struggle to lose weight, consider speaking to a therapist about any emotional causes that may be contributing to these challenges. Many therapists or other trained professionals can help provide support and education to help identify and explore barriers that may be holding you back.

Erectile Dysfunction

BENEFITS UPDATE: Erectile dysfunction (ED)

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability to get and keep an erection firm enough for sex. Having erection trouble from time to time isn't necessarily a cause for concern. If erectile dysfunction is an ongoing issue, however, it can cause stress, affect your self-confidence and contribute to relationship problems. Problems getting or keeping an erection can also be a sign of an underlying health condition that may require investigation and treatment.

We are pleased to announce that The Local 1014 Health Plan has expanded our coverage of ED drugs to include Cialis at 2.5mg and 5mg which is prescribed for daily use. Thirty pills for a 30- day supply will be covered. Additionally, the quantity for all intermittently used drugs will be increased to 12 pills for a 30 day supply and 36 pills for a 90 day supply.

If you're concerned about erectile dysfunction, do not let embarrassment keep you from talking to your physician. Sometimes, treating an underlying condition is enough to reverse erectile dysfunction. In other cases, medications or other direct treatments might be beneficial.
