I have some exciting news is that after many months of work and testing, my At-Home Shoulder Flexibility Course has officially launched!
I'm really happy about this because for years, I've wanted to have a way to bring what I do with clients in the office, into peoples homes. As much as I always wanted this though, I knew that I didn't have the specific technical knowledge about online platforms or videography that I needed, nor did I have the time to...
Today has been great. I got to go to church, play golf with my dad, and spend some time at my parents' house with my son. I have to say that if it weren't for the masks, it would have felt almost "normal!"
Speaking of things getting back to normal, it was just announced that gyms are now able to reopen and The Meadows is currently deciding which day to reopen their gym. It looks like it will be this...
Now that I've had my "behind the mask" visit with my parents for Mother's Day (big shout out to moms everywhere!!), I wanted to send you the latest installment of Immune System 101 with my friend and colleague Dr. Chris Davis M.D.
As I've mentioned before, Chris has a very unique and VERY compelling story. After over 14 years of traditional medicine, despite having an extremely busy practice, Chris became dissatisfied with the traditional medical model. He realized that it really didn't allow him to...
Now that we are starting to see light at the end of this crazy tunnel we've been in, it's a good time to begin to think about a "get back to life game plan."
Of course, I'd imagine we will all be more cognizant about close contact with people, crowds and hand washing, but what I certainly hope we all pay more attention to is our immune system health.
One thing I've thought about during this pandemic...
I love coming across a positive, uplifting story. Don't you? If so, you'll love this one.
William Lapschies was born in Salem, Oregon on April 1st, 1916. He was two years old when the Spanish Flu Pandemic swept across the world and he was 27 when he was drafted into World War 2.
On March 10th of this year William was diagnosed with COVID-19. A few days later, a doctor at the nursing home where he has...
This past week I was very blessed to reconnect with a good friend and colleague of mine Dr. Chris Davis M.D. Chris is truly one of my healthcare heroes because of his radical commitment to his patients' well being. Chris also has a pretty unique story.
After being trained at Johns Hopkins and being bestowed the honor of Chief Medical Resident, Chris began a medical practice in Bradenton that became enormously successful. But, after over 10 years of practicing conventional medicine, Chris realized that...
What a crazy time it is right now. Who would have thought that in a matter of weeks we would all go from life as usual to having nearly everything turned upside down? It's all so surreal that I don't think it's even fully sunk in for me yet.
In my 37 years I've only had a few moments where a very significant, very unwanted, and very unexpected thing happened so suddenly that it changed my life within a...
Wednesday night I saw something that truly inspired me. Sarasota's hometown tightrope walker Nik Wallenda made history by becoming the first person ever to walk over an active volcano on a high wire. It was a pretty amazing sight to behold.
In addition to the normal challenges of being on a tightrope, Nik also had to contend with waves of very hot air, toxic gases and enormous gusts of wind. Afterwards, he said that at times it felt like the...
Many are unaware of the link between what goes in their mouth and how they feel, but every year it is becoming more and more clear that we truly are what we eat. Certain foods have been shown to evoke an inflammatory response in the body, which can irritate conditions like arthritis and cause increased pain. The Arthritis Foundation has identified common food ingredients to try and eliminate from your diet to minimize these flare ups. The following was taken directly from an article on their website:
Have you ever gotten so busy that your workouts became harder to fit into your schedule? If so, than you know what I've been going through lately.
Since November, things have ramped up significantly in the office. I've been coming in earlier, staying later, and having to get more creative with how I get my workouts in. Luckily I've found a solution that is working very well, and I think it's something you can use too.
On the days that...
