As many of you know, both Dr. M and myself are huge college basketball fans. My alma mater, the University of Kansas Jayhawks, are playing tonight (Monday) for the national championship. I thought I would share a story that I came across this weekend that relates to basketball and the dangers of medication use. In […]
Anything worth doing will always have some fear attached to it. For example, having a baby, getting married, changing careers — all of these life changes can bring up deep fears. It helps to remember that this type of fear is good. It is your way of questioning whether you really want the new life […]
The urges that drive us to compete with others tend to be straightforward. Years of both evolution and societal influences have shaped us to pit ourselves against our peers. The needs and desires that inspire us to compete with ourselves, however, are entirely personal and thus far more complex. A need to outdo our earlier […]

As wellness doctors we are constantly encouraging our patients to eat well, exercise, etc, etc. – maybe to the point that a few of patients get just a little sick of hearing about it (that’s ok, but we’re going to keep trying). I sure that some have even asked themselves, “Yeah it’s easy to say […]
Those of you who are in the office this week will start to notice a transition of sorts at the front desk. Sarah is officially starting her maternity leave this week. No, this doesn’t mean she has had the baby yet, but she is starting to lessen her time with us in anticipation (she will […]
