1. New therapy you need to know about… Most of you have heard about Red Light Therapy (a.k.a. photobiomodulation or PBMT). It is a very powerful way to improve cell function, thus potentially impacting just about ALL health conditions. PBMT stimulates the release of free radicals from the cell, allowing more oxygen to be utilized…
1. Something I am excited about… We do not have room in our yard for a garden, but each year a patient of mine gives me some type of plant. It usually ends poorly. This year, however, the tomato plant and pepper plant that she gave me are both thriving. I am excited to cut…
1. Some things I learned about watermelon this week… I love watermelon. It’s a refreshing and tasty summer snack. I saw this video from a Dr. Pompa about watermelon that did two things… reminded me why we buy organic almost always… and… boosted my excitement about eating it because of the nutrients it provides. Not…
1. Patriotic display worth noting… I love the 4th of July, or Independence Day, as it signifies our independence and reminds of us of our amazing freedoms. I am a HUGE fan of those serving our country, as well as all of those that have served. The American flag is something that elicits emotions in…
1. Song I heard and really liked this week… I heard a song this week, called Running Out of Time, by Wyatt Flores (Thanks for sending it, Alie R.!). I love the lyrics! And yes… it is country, but even if you don’t like country music… hate country music… or cannot even bear to listen…
1. Something cool I realized this week… We have a healthy and robust pothos(?) plant in our dining room. I realized this week that this plant is from a piece of a plant that I took from my grandmother, Estelle Bizjak (a.k.a. Grandma Biz), when I was in college (over 30 years ago). I replanted…
1. Documentary I watched this week… I watched the documentary The Blue Angels, and it was awesome. I’ve been impressed, intrigued, and in awe of the Blue Angels since first seeing them when I was a little kid at the Cleveland Air Show. Absolutely incredible! The speed, precision, talent, and sheer guts these pilots have…
1. Concept I spent time thinking about this week… Goal setting is SUPER important! But simply stating a goal you want, writing it down, reading it each day, and visualizing it, will not get you what you want. Setting outcome-based goals is hugely important, but setting effort-based goals is critical. This includes the actions and…
1. Interesting fact I learned this week… Our brains are very good at keeping us aware and alert to the environment around us. What most don’t know is that it spends most of its energy on blocking out unnecessary stimuli. If it did not do that, we would be overwhelmed. Our subconscious mind is capable…
1. Concept I keep thinking about… We know that it is when we push ourselves that we experience the most growth. It requires being uncomfortable… uneasy feeling, fear, sweat, tears, and even blood… to become the best versions of ourselves and to live an extraordinary life. I shared a quote with a friend in the…
