There are some new faces here, so we thought we’d say hi. 👋 We’re so glad you’re here.
At Lakeside, we believe community is just as essential to health as a nourishing diet or exercise, and that community can exist both in person and online. Research shows that health and happiness are contagious. Studies like the Framingham Heart Study demonstrate that behaviors such as smoking, obesity, happiness, and even loneliness can spread through social networks.
✨The longest-lived people on the planet don’t do health alone. ✨In the blue zone of Okinawa, strong social circles called moais are considered a key factor of longevity. Moais are the Japanese concept of connection.
We’re inspired by this concept, which is why we’re intentional about building community in multiple ways: through our Group Visit Program in the clinic, and here on Instagram as a virtual space for learning, support, and connection. Whether you’re cooking along with us, learning about hormones, or simply feeling less alone in your health journey, this space is meant to support you.
You won’t find us demonizing foods or participating in the health fear mongering that’s ever so present on the internet. We believe in positivity, balance, and science. 🙌🏼
We’d love to get to know you! Tell us in the comments who you are, where you’re from, and what you’re hoping to learn here. 💛
