I'm writing a column for the Easley Progress. Subscription details are in the comments.

Do you remember as a child wishing you could stay up late like the grown-ups? Many of us finally got that privilege as adults—and then discovered we were too busy working, raising families…

“How to Live like a Superhero” is available at the ACLM bookstore during the conference this week. It makes a great gift for the little superhero in your life or your favorite teacher. Grab one today, limited copies available onsite. It’s a fun little story that teaches lifestyle medicine principles to young children. Also provides value in a doctor’s office or any healthcare setting as a teaching tool.

1️⃣ Doctors can be their authentic selves.
In DPC, we get to be real again. No rushed visits, no burnout. Just meaningful care and genuine connection. 💙

2️⃣ Lifestyle Medicine fits beautifully into DPC.
There’s time to talk about nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress — not just prescriptions. 🌿 True prevention happens here.

3️⃣ Affordable meds right in the office.
Generic meds at wholesale prices — many just $5 for 3 months! 💊 No middlemen. No surprises.

4️⃣ You can text your doctor!
Yep, my patients have my cell. 📱 Real communication, no waiting on hold. Because good care starts with access.

5️⃣ Docs get to pick their own view.
Ocean breeze? Mountain sunrise? Cozy small-town street? 🌅 In DPC, physicians design their office — and their life — on their own terms.

6️⃣ Sometimes we come in on weekends...
Like today — I saw a sick baby because I wanted to, not because I had to. 💕 That’s what happens when you know your patients like family.

7️⃣ Everybody knows your name.
No more being “just a chart.” In DPC, we actually know each other — stories, families, and all. 🩵

8️⃣ HSA dollars can be used for DPC (starting 2026)!
This is a big win for patients 🙌 — affordable, personal care made even easier.

9️⃣ Your doctor has time to listen. 🎧
No 7-minute visits here. We read your records, hear your story, and build a plan together.

🔟 Save money on office procedures.
From biopsies to joint injections — many can be done right here for a fraction of the cost. 💰

This is what date night looks like in your 50’s. That is… if you want to keep having date nights for a long, long time. We are in training for retirement. It’s a long way off, but I will be ready for adventure!
