This past week, I was chatting with my sister and telling her how I wasn’t feeling my best and was worried that I was getting sick. My niece interjected with: Auntie, you probably have allergies, which means you are NOT sick even though you feel bad. So, you’re not sick. You’re just allergies. #micdrop Although her diagnostic methods are less than ideal, Lyla brings up a good point! Sometimes, it’s hard to tell the difference between infection and allergies because they both make you feel terrible. Check our this handy graphic from @atriumhealth to help you self triage and determine if you need more medical attention. #healthandhumanity

We’re nearing the end of National #infertilityawarenessweek, and I’ve not posted about it because, let’s face it, there’s a whole lot going on this world right now. Still, to all those who are hurting and whose only picture of their child looks like a bit like mine, please know that I see you, I care for you, I am you. We’re in this together. #iam1in4 #miscarriage #iam1in8 #infertility #runemaximilian

To my friends and colleagues in pre-licensed states: Boston Biolife has just confirmed that because their new COVID-19 fingerstick antibody test is a screening tool and not diagnostic, there is no state restriction in ordering! This is particularly helpful for me, as a physician licensed in VT but located in pre-licensed NV. If you have patients interested in this test, might be worth a look at @bostonbiolife!

Today’s to-do list includes lots and lots of reading, and I’m not mad at it! #bestjobever

My dining room/home office has officially become a #covid19-approved coworking space, and I am STOKED. #flattenthecurve

Breaking down what a shelter in place order means...

Awesome perspective from my fave ped in Philly!

It’s been a minute since I’ve been active, but no time like the present to hop onto the COVID-19 train! Here are just a few of the things I’m using to keep myself healthy, photographed with my newest obsession: #houseplants Fresh lemon juice in hot water is a gentle way to stimulate natural detox and boost your vitamin C levels Three homeopathics good to have on hand: Bryonia for dry, painful cough, Arsenicum album for shortness of breath with feelings of anxiety, an...d Lycopodium for later stages of the disease process, including green-yellow foul-smelling expectoration and tightness and burning feeling in the chest Vitamin D 5,000 IU taken with food is great for supporting your immune system Klaire Labs Pro 5 is my probiotic of choice, but any high quality probiotic would be helpful Elderberry syrup is another great tasting, kid-friendly, all-purpose immune supporter Electrolyte packets to replenish your electrolyte balance in case of dehydration ...AND PLEASE REMEMBER TO WASH YOUR HANDS! #healthandhumanity

Feeling this message pretty hard today. Hope it’s a helpful one for your journey, too!#exactlywhereyoushouldbe

Thanks to our pioneers in Washington State, VAs now have access to naturopathic care in several centers in the nation!

Though it does require a notebook, Bullet Journal is actually a methodology. It's best described as a mindfulness practice disguised as a productivity system. It's designed to help you organize your what while you remain aware of your why. The goal of the Bullet Journal is to help its practitioners (bullet journalists) live intentional lives, ones that are productive and meaningful. Even if you’re not going to dive headfirst into Bullet Journaling, mindfulness around your daily energy allocation is so important to your wellbeing! #healthandhumanity
