In 2004, my patient changed me. 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 […]
Good morning! Thank you for tuning in this a.m. I have a question for you (below). In 2023, I continue to be mesmerized by the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that lies before us.

In September, for the first time in 50 years, the White House held a conference on hunger, nutrition, and health. We, at Walk with a Doc, were honored with an invitation to attend the conference. The White House has set a bold goal: to end hunger in America and increase healthy eating and physical activity by 2030 […]
Good morning! This is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month so I thought it would be a good time to share a story… There once was a remote little village where friendly people lived. They had thatched roofs. They would leave their cozy cottages every Saturday morning and gather at the serene local park. They would talk about things […]
