We live in a world that constantly pushes us to move faster, do more, and optimize everything. But healing, connection, and meaningful change rarely happen at full speed. In this week’s newsletter, Dr. Sabgir reflects on the importance of slowing down, and why walking may be one of the best forms of “slow medicine” we have.
Good morning! Feeling great? Us too! This weekend is shaping up so 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 park pavilion around 8:20, and Jan was already sitting at a picnic table. Dressed in hot […]
Good morning! Okay, fine, {hands in the air} you got me. Truth be told, this missive is being launched on a spectacularly sublime Thursday evening from our back stoop as the sun ever so slowly drops below the horizon. To celebrate WWAD’s 21st birthday, I have a refreshing mocktail (that’s a cocktail with zero alcohol) that I call […]

We see community members, hospital administrators, innovators, docs, nurses, and medical students refusing the status quo and rebelling. They tell us […]
Good morning! We had a new member at last Saturday’s Walk with a Doc. It all started when we saw Bob (not his real name) in our cardiology office. Bob’s a new patient who just moved to Columbus. Since Bob’s heart attack (2013), he’s made impressive changes. Many of his cardiac risk factors (blood pressure, […]
