Good morning! Today we’ll talk about atrial fib and you don’t need to take notes. I’ll send you mine. What is it? Atrial fib (aka A Fib) is one of the most common rhythm problems. It is irregular activity that usually comes from the roots of the pulmonary veins. My heart skips beats a lot. It will […]
Good morning! Feeling great? Us too. This weekend is shaping up really well. I’d like to tell you about my week – I had a really amazing one. It started last Saturday morning. We were walking up to the pavilion around 8:20 and Jan was already sitting at a picnic table. Dressed in hot pink, […]
Good morning! It’s been a beautiful week, right? Here’s hoping you’re taking care of yourself with a walk break or two. How many steps a day is ideal? These researchers feel they found the sweet spot. Would you like some tips to help you get there? Okay, palpitations. As cardiologists, we see more patients with palpitations than any other concern.

Good morning! Here’s hoping the weather is really great in your neck of the woods. Speaking of warmer days, at the close of our office visits, I love talking with my patients about how they like to stay active. As you would guess, this time of year ‘gardening’ is a very common response. Well, that […]
Good morning! First, I’d like to acknowledge Rachael and Bryan as March has been special (126 requests this month to start new chapters).

National Walking Day is on April 5, 2023! Our team at Walk with a Doc has had this date circled on our calendar for months. While we tend to find every reason we can to brag about the life-changing power of walking, the 1st Wednesday of April always gives us a good excuse to take […]
Good morning! Walk of the Day. Some of you within the CrossFit world know better than me, W.O.D. stands for Workout of the Day (500 burpees, 180 squats, 45 kettlebell swings, etc.). To me, CrossFit is like boating, better to have friends that do it. Then again, maybe that’s why I look like Steve Rogers’ before he […]
Good morning! Today is Rachael’s 9th Anniversary with Walk with a Doc. Thank you, my friend. You have been nothing short of exceptional. It’s also National Colorectal Awareness Month!

Good morning! How did you sleep last night? I hope you slept well. It’s important. There are some days when it seems like all of my patients are having sleeping issues and are curious about how to get a better night’s rest. Here’s what I share.
