A very wise patient said this week that he was on vacation and shut off all connectivity for two full days. During that time he focused on three simple DOING questions: What should I keep doing? What should I stop doing? What should I start doing? Wow! That is a very simple but profound set [...]
“It is not what you eat but what you eat ate!” This quote is from one of my favorite books, In Defense of Food by Micheal Pollan. The above picture of my three egg breakfast speaks to this. Two eggs were from true free range chickens whereas the third was store bought. Eggs are great for [...]
The above shirt was being worn by a 93 year old patient this last week. It echoes what elderly patients have told me for the past three decades - That life goes by really fast and seems to accelerate as we age. Times really are ticking. It seems life is much like a roller coaster [...]
A patient who has overcome huge health obstacles recently shared a story about her son’s 8th grade awards ceremony. Her son had switched to a new school the year prior and faired much better at the new school with a fresh start.

As my favorite retired Army Ranger said it takes about 2 weeks in fact and adaptability is a great survival skill. So as things slowly open up, realize that everyone is going to have [...]
Yesterday morning my cousin and I were having a phone conversation and she asked my opinion on a treadmill. We talked about how often she uses it and a few other features including cost. At one point she said, “I use this daily and I consider it an investment in my health.” BAM! I knew right [...]
What a great time of year: Spring is in the air! It is time for spring cleaning and garage sales. The good old purge. Nothing feels better than to run lean without old baggage. I’m a tosser. When Dr. Jean goes away without me, she is always nervous what I might get rid of when she [...]
The proof is in the POOPING! Yuck! Doc, you are losing it right?? No, no, no; just keep reading. If you haven’t noticed we do a lot more than just adjust the spine.
