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! 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.

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. The raptured thrill of assembling an A-Frame Lego set, the pure relaxation of sinking into a season of The Cabin Chronicles, the unabashed joy of ‘comfort’ Buffalo cauliflower, or […]

Good morning and Happy Holidays! Hope this finds you ready for a special holiday weekend. Something happened this week that blew my mind. I always appreciate this outlet to share my experiences, so thank you. The 20th started like any other Tuesday. I had just seen my 11:30 patient and was headed out of the […]
1) In 2023, do one Lego set a month. These often intensify your focus, organize your brain, and bring mindfulness into your life – especially the Dora (the Explorer) ones. Maybe I can try for this one in ’23? 2) Read 50 (or more) books and no more of those trashy vampire novels! It’s smut and you know it, David. These will no […]
