Healing is more than managing symptoms — it’s about supporting the whole person. ✨

We’re excited to share a new focus in our practice: lifestyle medicine. By integrating evidence-based approaches like nutrition, movement, sleep, stress management, social connection, and restorative habits, we hope to empower patients to take an active role in their health and well-being.

Small, sustainable changes can have a meaningful impact — and we’re honored to walk alongside our patients on that journey. 💚

A few hours before celebrating new physicians entering medicine, I was fighting for the value of patient care.

Yesterday’s graduation at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine Greenville reminded me why so many of us chose this profession in the first place.

Medicine is more than metrics, paperwork, and reimbursement battles. At its core, it is still about human connection, trust, and the privilege of caring for people in their most vulnerable moments.

Looking back at my own graduation photos, I saw the same idealism and hope reflected in this year’s graduates. My hope for them is that they hold onto that humanity fiercely, even when the system makes it difficult. 🤍

They hope you will hang up.
Unanswered messages. Denied claims. Insurance reps reading from a script. A system that seems designed to outlast your energy.
I see you. I’ve been in it with you.
Brené Brown talks about the person in the arena — the one whose face is marked by the fight, not the one watching from the sidelines. That’s you every time you call back. Every time you appeal a denial. Every time you refuse to accept “that’s just our policy” as a final answer.
The system is exhausting on purpose.
You’re not a burden for advocating for yourself. You’re not dramatic for feeling overwhelmed. And you are absolutely not alone.
Tomorrow we re-enter the arena with renewed purpose and energy. Our loved ones deserve a fierce advocate. And so do we. 💜
🥊 Drop a “still fighting” in the comments — let’s remind each other that we’ve got what it takes to face tomorrow. 💜

They forgot to hang up the phone today. Perhaps sharing my experience will remind others in healthcare why what we do matters. The healthcare experience is broken. We have to do better. My mom deserves it and so do you.

Nobody talks about what menopause does to your brain. Let’s change that. 👇🧠
✦ Estrogen protects brain cells & supports memory
✦ Declining estrogen = increased brain fog & forgetfulness
✦ Anxiety & depression spike during perimenopause
✦ Sleep disruption makes cognitive symptoms worse
✦ Brain fog is temporary for most women
You are not “losing it.” You are navigating a hormonal shift that affects your entire nervous system. Be patient with yourself. 🤍

🧠 Sleep is your brain’s nightly reset.
While you sleep, your brain isn’t resting — it’s working overtime. It flushes out toxic waste, consolidates memories, and rewires neural pathways for the next day.
Skipping sleep doesn’t just make you tired. It dulls focus, heightens anxiety, accelerates brain aging, and doubles your long-term risk of cognitive decline.
The science is clear:
→ 7–9 hours is the sweet spot
→ REM sleep boosts memory retention by up to 40%
→ Even one bad night impairs decision-making like mild intoxication
Your brain is your most valuable organ. Protect it like one.
💜 Save this as your reminder to log off and wind down tonight.

Grief can exist even when someone is still here.

Watching a loved one live with a progressive neurological disease ,such as dementia,brings a different kind of loss—one that unfolds slowly, in moments.

Some days feel familiar. Others remind you how much has changed.

This is ambiguous loss. And it’s real.

If you’re experiencing this, you’re not alone 🤍

Day 2 at the American Academy of Neurology Meeting 🧠

Plenary sessions matter because they highlight the research that’s most likely to change how we care for patients—bringing forward the latest evidence, new treatment approaches, and big-picture shifts in neurology.

Staying current isn’t just about knowledge—it’s about delivering better, more informed care every day. Follow us as we share what we learned.
