Thanksgiving is officially one week away!! If you are like me, that means launching into a spectacular season of parties with family and friends, making and eating plenty of delicious food, hauling out trees and boxes of decoration…and…an overall totally lack of routine from Thanksgiving through Christmas and New Year. And that is totally cool. ‘Tis the season, after all, and who would want to miss out on this merriment? Perhaps we weren’t even meant to be in the same routi

I am frequently asked, “What is the best whole body exercise?” Hmmm…something that will target most muscles in the body. Planks? Definitely a favorite of mine. Burpees? Though I am not sure what the current obsession is in the fitness community with burpees, if done correctly, I do like a good burpee. Downward dog? Certainly one of my go-tos for a good stretch of many muscles. But my hands-down favorite whole body exercise is (drum roll please): Single leg balance. Go ahea

I can’t say I’m much of a self-promoter online. In fact, every time I post something personal on the business page, I gulp, close my eyes, click “post”, then promptly close out of the app. (I decided to plunge into the deep end by including here a picture of me drinking wine on my honeymoon; it doesn't get much more vulnerable than that.

I meet monthly with my 4th grade Lunch Buddy, and at our last lunch, I listened as she told me all about the crafts that she was making each of her family members. It was November, and she felt l

Do you smell what I smell in the air? That’s Winter, friends, and though we can all lament southwest Ohio’s overall lack of Fall 2018, we must face the fact that my car read 29 degrees outside this morning. I love winter, and if it could snow until March, I would be thrilled. You also may know by now that I love running. I can’t say that I love running in the winter. In fact, unless it is 90 degrees outside, I am most assuredly feeling cold, so when it is 30 degrees, I hi

“Do you take my insurance?” is the #1 question I get from inquiring patients. The truth is, no. 212 is considered “out of network” with all insurance companies. Now, before you click the back button on your browser, hear me out because this isn’t about 212 being out of network. This is about making you a more educated consumer. Have you ever received a bill weeks after an appointment and thought, “Hmmm. I was not aware that I would owe that much.”? I certainly have. Less
