Did you know that 72% of adults feel stressed about money? It’s true! Almost three-quarters of us worry about our finances. But what’s more shocking than that figure is the detrimental effects money stress has on our health.

I’m talking years of scribbling away and inhabiting the imaginary worlds of my brain. At long last, just this past July, my agent landed […]

It was exactly a year ago when everything changed for me. On May 10, 2011 I logged on to check my bloodwork results. I scrolled down, and stared at the screen. And the floor dropped out from under me. I had a positive result. Which, in the medical world, is a very big negative. I […]

I was not what you would call “a runner”. It’s not that I hadn’t tried. At various points in my life (usually after a spell of too much lasagne/baked-brie-with-cranberries/caramel macchiatos…), I tried running. But it was always like banging my head against a brick wall–it only felt good when it stopped. I would always give up after […]

Yesterday I had the big-fun experience of being interviewed on TV. It was for Breakfast Television in Vancouver (the morning show on CityTV) and I chatted with the charming Riaz Meghji about how to stay healthy on a trip.

Four years ago, I made the scariest (and most freeing) decision of my life: walking away from my six-figure career as a doctor. At the time, I didn’t have a map of what came next. It was a HUGE leap into the unknown. Fast forward to today, and what I’ve gained has been nothing short […]

There’s an old story that always sticks in my mind about a traveler who comes across three bricklayers hard at work. The traveler approaches the first bricklayer and asks, “What are you doing?” The worker replies, “I’m laying bricks.” He asks the second guy the same thing, who says, “I’m building a wall.” Then he […]
