I finally did it. It’s been 8 months. Eight long months of doing things different. An MRI, x-rays, 4 PRP injections, physical therapy, at home strength training, swimming, stretching, yoga, walking & hiking. Many of you know I have been a lifelong runner, it started in high school and hasn’t really stopped until now. So […]
I wasn’t sure if I should write about this, since I’m mad, aggravated and sad at the same time. I’m also fairly private, there are certain personal things I just don’t talk about. I like to keep the office upbeat, healthy and fun. But Loka has become such a big part of the office, so […]
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 […]
I am someone who grew up with a lot of back spasms, I had all sorts of knots in my back and there were times I would have to crawl on the ground because it was too painful to stand up. When I was living in Queens (New York), I went to a chiropractor for […]
I’ve written about him before, both here on the blog and in some social media posts. It’s about a man that I’ve had great admiration for, someone who lived the lifestyle that I talk about – full of love for family, daily exercise and old fashion work. The person I’m talking about is my father-in-law, […]
