It was a real privilege to speak with Megan Lombardo about the risks of benzodiazepines for her new documentary. These stories deserve to be heard — and I’m hopeful that her work will help more people find answers, and avoid harm.

Had an incredible opportunity to visit the FDA and speak with Commissioner Marty Makary about a critically overlooked issue: how antidepressants—especially when used during pregnancy—can lead to long-term neuronal problems in children, including worsening anxiety and cognitive impairments. Grateful for the chance to bring this conversation to the table at the highest level.

Also—what a joy to catch up with old friends and make some new ones along the way. These relationships are what keep this work grounded and hopeful. 🧠🤝

🌍✌️Two outings. One mission: connection.

First stop — Helsinki! 🇫🇮 Our family had the joy of meeting up in person with a second-year med student Dr. Marissa has been mentoring all year through our Luminaries program. We were already planning a family trip to Europe and thought — why not add Finland to the itinerary? That meetup even inspired a spontaneous family trip to the North Pole in Lapland! 🎅❄️

While in Helsinki, we also visited what might be the most beautiful library we’ve ever seen — you’ll spot it in the photos. A perfect backdrop for reflecting on how powerful it is to build a global network of thoughtful, values-driven prescribers.

The Luminaries mentorship program is still in its early days, but moments like this make it feel like we’re planting something big. Watching these future prescribers already so deep in the alternative literature, asking bold questions, connecting with health freedom advocates online, and holding fast to their values — it’s given me more hope for the future of medicine than I’ve felt in years. These are colleagues I trust. Finally, the circle’s expanding.

And on a fun note — some of you may not know this, but Marissa and I are big house music fans 🕺💃🎶. This weekend we got to hang with Sheila (our amazing admissions director) and her husband at a TaperClinic-style night out under the K Bridge in NYC with Walker & Royce. Beautiful setting. Great energy. A healing crowd.

Working at TaperClinic? Don’t be surprised if we ask you to dance.
