Have you ever had a moment that split your life into “before” and “after”? A decision, a conversation, a chance encounter that changed everything about who you were and how you lived?

So I’ve got exciting news: I’ve decided to start making YouTube videos! Funnily enough, it was something my husband suggested. In recent months I’ve become hooked on YouTube videos for all kinds of things (makeup tutorials, travel vlogs, cooking shows…) and my husband noticed this, of course, and one day he said: you’ve got info […]

It was the first day of my clerkship—the 3rd year of medical school when you rotate through different hospital placements—and my first rotation was in pediatrics.

Are the bags under your eyes bigger than the purse you carry? Are your dark circles heading into Rocky Horror Picture Show territory? The tissues around our eyes are a highly responsive area of our faces–all our woes, illnesses, and sins show up there. On YMC I posted a two-part series recently, on a very pesky health/beauty problem: under-eye bags, […]

The people of Greece have figured a lot of things out when it comes to knowing how to live a happy, healthy life. It makes sense–Greece is the birthplace of Hippocrates, the father of Western medicine. Have you ever been to Greece? My husband and I went many years ago, in the BC years (Before Children, of course). […]

It’s rare for me to meet a parent who is unfamiliar with bedtime battles. This age-old struggle is crazy making, to be sure. I have known a lot of trying situations in my life, but very little compares to the relentless frustration of trying to wrestle my toddler into bed, night after night. Can you relate? […]

I’m preparing a workshop called Stress Detox that I’m giving next week, so I’ve been thinking about stress a lot lately. It’s a topic I’ve written about many times in the past…but looking back on my old posts, I think I’ve neglected to give an overall view of my approach to stress management. In the past few […]

Feeling “tired all the time” is a modern-day plague. It’s rare that I meet someone who doesn’t describe this feeling. Seriously. So what’s up with that? Well, I have some thoughts. And on my Yummy Mummy Club blog I’ve broken down 10 über-common reasons for that feeling of fatigue. You can read all about them, here, and […]

Now I hope this doesn’t cause anyone to lose sleep…but a recent study has shown that people with high blood pressure who also suffer insomnia are much more likely to have resistant high blood pressure (meaning, the kind we just can’t control with medication).

There was a season in my life when I felt like I was behind. I looked around at my peers, whose careers, relationships, and successes all seemed light-years ahead of mine. It was crushing. I’d lie awake at night, replaying the same questions: What am I doing wrong? Why am I so far behind? If […]

You know that version of wellness you see all over social media? The one with the green smoothies, 5am wake-ups, and color-coded planners? I chased that version of wellness for years. I woke up at 6am to complete my 10-step morning routine. I meal-prepped every week, and I logged 10,000 steps every day without fail. […]
