Caregivers carry so much that the rest of the world never sees.
The worry, the decisions, the exhaustion, the love, the constant questions, and the fear of making a mistake.

As I’ve been writing my new dementia caregiving book, I keep thinking about my own patients and their families. The strength you show every day is extraordinary, even when you don’t feel strong.

I hope this book brings clarity and comfort to the people who need it most. It won't be long now.
More soon. 💜

I’ve been quietly working on something very meaningful, and I’m finally ready to share a little peek.

Over the past few years, I’ve seen so many families in my practice caring for loved ones with dementia. I’ve walked this path in my own family as well. The questions, the exhaustion, the worry, the love… it stays with me long after the visit ends.

So I’ve been writing a new book; a guide for caregivers who feel overwhelmed, unsure, or simply tired from trying to do it all. My hope is to offer clear guidance, steady support, and science backed information to caregivers and families.

Stay tuned, more to come soon. 💜

Potentially Harsh Flu Season Anticipated In US
The New York Times (11/19, Mandavilli) reports the US “may be headed for a rough flu season, with a virus that causes more severe symptoms than the one last year and seems to be spreading more rapidly and earlier than usual.” CDC researchers on Friday “posted data suggesting that flu infections are still low but rising in 39 states.” Notably, “the dominant flu virus this year, H3N2, is known to cause more severe symptoms than the H1N1 virus that was most common last year. And over the summer, H3N2 acquired at least seven mutations that allow it to sidestep immunity against infection.”

Be careful. Avoid large crowds during flu/COVID season. Wash and sanitize your hands frequently. Don't touch your face. Eat healthy and stay hydrated. If someone is ill around you, take precautions.

Sometimes motivation doesn’t arrive with a burst of energy, sometimes it whispers. It’s in the quiet moments, the small routines, and the tender choices we make to care for ourselves. Motivation grows from taking tiny steps toward your goal.
