Medicine to Move You

The motives of pharmaceutical companies have always been a polarizing debate amongst patients and physicians alike.  These massive institutions have the capacity to wield a tremendous amount of good with their mega-monster capabilities in research and development.  Of course with that comes an equally seismic cost that must be reclaimed somehow.  Here is where Product…

The suffering caused by the terribly violent events in Tucson, Arizona bring into focus the desperate need of our society to focus on a solution to this type of behavior.  When we forget that we are all simply the same ‘human’ creatures, made of the same organs, feeling the same happiness and avoiding the same…

On Jan 9, 2011, Erin commented on Unhealthy Doctors Don’t Make the Grade “Should patients expect their doctors to be living examples of their life’s work? ” I lose respect for people who are obviously lazy about their health, but this holds true for everyone. Doctors should not be held to a different standard. You…

I am excited about launching a new website that our organization has been dreaming of for years now. In the process of developing the materials, I did a video blog on a topic that seems to get people passionate about their stance.  The topic is age-old but I am bringing it into the medical milieu…

  It may come as no surprise that I consider myself a work in progress.  I am the kind of friend that wants to hear criticism and thoroughly enjoys being critiqued by those who know me well.  So naturally, during this busy time of the year, I’m working on something.  Right now, I’m focusing on…

Oh yes…it’s that time of year!  A traditional time of overindulgence that begins with Thanksgiving and continues through to the New Year.  Maybe it starts with not making the time to fit in exercise.  Maybe it starts with that first delicious bite of pumpkin pie and carries you through the final toast on New Year’s…

My husband’s cousin is visiting from India and the topic of what I do always seems to get some good conversations and questions rolling.  Believe me, I know it’s not because of me.  It’s because the concept of being healthy makes everyone reflect on their own personal performance and curious about what they could be…

Story time!  I had another amazing experience at the office today.  A 77 year old woman came to us just a few months ago with arthritis, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, acid reflux and prediabetes- not to mention her obesity.  She was on a slew of prescription medications but was prompted by her daughter to…
