“Your blood levels are normal” they say, yet did you ask what they were? If the normal range is 50 – 75, and you are at 50.5, that still is normal, but is that something you should be concerned about? What if your numbers are 74.8, well that’s normal, right? This is what happens when […]
I was talking to someone earlier this month about how I balance out my life, and I kind of chuckled, because sometimes I just don’t think there’s any balance. And can you really balance a dozen or so high priority things? Or is it a shuffle? On my high priority list is managing the office, […]
I’m was pretty mad when this news came out. Actually, I believe I was probably more irritated than anything, somewhat rolling my eyes while at the same time celebrating. Two weeks ago when the CDC announced a change in their recommendations, I felt like it was what we had been saying all along. That people […]
I’ve been seeing and reading about this cold plunge (or cold shower) for about two years now, when some patients told me what they were doing. It took two years to build up the courage to do this, since cold showers do not sound like fun, yet anytime I read about something that can be […]
There’s a part of me that really can’t believe I did it (let alone 3x!). I voluntarily spun upside down, all around in circles, at 67+mph (and actually paid to do this!). This past month I took 9-days away from the office, seven of which involved just chilling out along with some “play time” (plus […]
“I don’t have time!” How often do we say that about things we have to do? It’s a regular phrase in my life, and I joke that if I could get by with 3-4 hours of sleep every night, then I’d be able to get a lot more done (however sleep is very important to […]
As many of you know, I travel 1-2 weekends a month teaching for the ICPA with my most recent trip to Rochester, NY. It was the first time I had flown in three weeks, and the first time since the mask mandate had been lifted … and thank goodness! Most of you also know how […]
It’s that time of year again, time to clean out the digestive tract, cleanse my body & reset my system. At the time I write this, I am on day 5 of a 21-day purification program; the first 10 days eating only fruits & veggies plus protein shakes, and then adding in protein on day […]
Recently someone told me our office was like “a sanctuary” and I took that as a huge compliment. It is great to have a place of safety these days, a place where there are no mandates & no specific requirements. People make their own choices. People are loved, encouraged, and inspired; children laugh & play; […]
Here we are, 6-7 months into flattening the curve and the second wave is on its way….are you ready for it? In March we were told to stay inside, wash your hands, cover your mouth if you cough or sneeze, and don’t touch your face. And most people listened. And you know what? It kind […]
