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). Each pulse check brings a response akin to ‘We got this’ ‘Bring it on’ or ‘Let’s change the world’” I’m lucky. Thank you two. Well, you’ve possibly heard the positive news regarding […]
Good morning! It’s great to see everyone after a two-week hiatus. Fortunately, there was a newsletter that did not take last Friday off, The New York Times, Well newsletter. Jancee Dunn is a wonderful journalist and WWAD getting a mention is a credit to all of you, so thank you. In the 7 days following this, […]
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.).

This being NCAM, we wanted to try something entirely new for the newsletter. Literally, as we speak, I am currently in an endoscopy suite, lying on my left […]
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. First, many of our patients get screened for sleep apnea. Ironically, many patients that end […]
Friday, February 17th, 2023 Dear Diary, You understand me and often make me smile. Thank you, Diary. I share with you the most private of things that I’d never share with others.

Over my 19 years as a cardiologist, I’ve seen remarkable advancements in treating and managing heart disease and mind-blowing medical advances, but I could not get people moving. After years of frustration over the lack of motivation to move, I asked my patient to go for a walk with […]
