Shifting the conversation about physician wellness!

Remove Barriers to Mental Health Care for Health Workers Like everyone, health workers deserve the right to pursue mental health care without fear of losing their job.

Another two day weekend volunteering for the free medical, dental, and vision clinic with R.A.M. USA, this time in lovely rural Emporia, Virginia!

A little sad that there is still such need.

I had a talented scribe 😻 and had fun volunteering with physician colleagues as well as some incredible nurses and med students. Our makeshift clinic was in the library of the Greensville High School. There was also a women’s care trailer, a huge row of dental tents, and an eye clinic plus trailer where glasses were made immediately for patients.

Clearing our outer lives opens up more room for our inner lives. What small item could be cleared today?

Please consider donating to RAMUSA.ORG this holiday season! They offer free medical, dental, and vision care to rural residents throughout many states in the US, especially KY, VA, WV, and TN. This weekend we offered free care from the Mayfield, KY, high school and treated over 230 patients, most of whom lost everything in the tornado that destroyed their town two years ago. We opened at 6 a.m. and people were already lined up at the door. Our clinic was the h.s. band room and on Sunday we had an all women medical crew!

Connecting to nature as part of feeling well—happy Fall!

The natural world has stories to tell if you listen closely.

When I trained as a trauma informed professional coach with Lodestar, they repeatedly taught that “connection mitigates trauma”. When we connect we can start the healing process. This is also a deeply held principle of Lifestyle Medicine: that loneliness is definitely a health issue, and one that can be prevented. Think of someone you know who may be feeling lonely today and reach out to them with a visit or call, as we are currently in a “loneliness pandemic”.

It can’t be cured; it can be treated.

Be especially careful about air quality this summer!

Search for Current Fire and Smoke Conditions in a city, state or area.(e.g. "Seattle, WA", "Washington State", "Smith River, CA")

This is a vulnerable and compelling piece by Dr. Vivek Murthy on the impact of loneliness on our health and well-being

I have a plan to rebuild social connection and foster healthy relationships.

There are so many options! It is helpful to look at the evidence and analyze the pros and cons, as well as talk to a healthcare professional. It’s not necessary to be “on a diet” your whole life but it’s helpful to add more rainbow veggies and fruits, whole grains and beans, and consider lower salt options.

An analysis of diets by the American Heart Association gave low marks to some of the most popular ones for straying from heart-healthy eating guidelines.
