This was such a helpful read this morning. Guidance in caring for those who are grieving is hard to find.

Does Florida realize that ending vaccine mandates will impact tourism revenue? If they end the mandates, that’ll be the end to Florida beach vacations, mouse vacations, Art Basel Miami, for my family. 82% of Florida residents support vaccine mandates…

You wouldn’t say that someone was a gravity skeptic. You’d just say they were wrong. Vaccines work. Period. That is a verifiable fact.

We should all take a moment today to reflect on why Juneteenth matters. It is, among other things, an insistence on equal rights, a celebration of freedom that required great sacrifice.

How much of my day as an NP do I spend listening to clients bemoan how the current administration is crushing them in some way? At least 30%. And I expect that number to increase.

A few weeks ago I wouldn’t have been surprised by a lunch and learn to discuss culturally competent care and implicit bias. But in today’s climate I’m extra excited to be able to take part in this session at work.

Mom asked me to vet a supplement she wanted to buy online for cognitive support. Spoiler alert: its claims about specific ingredients were false. I pointed her to green tea, ginkgo biloba, turmeric, and l-carnosine. Those have substantial research backing for #cognition and #memory.

How does the EO about shutting down communication and travel for health agencies impact your community? Check out this cool interactive map on NIH funding. Keep in mind, this is just the NIH. The CDC and FDA are also hamstrung.

This is your reminder to take a slow, deep breath. Hold it in for a moment. And exhale slowly. Whatever you’re feeling today, flooding your brain with oxygen tells your amygdala (emotion center in your brain) that you’re safe.

Yesterday I had to explain how health insurance works to my high school son. He was astounded by how broken the system is. Sharing this context with him will blow his mind, as it should.

So many of my patients rely on telehealth because they live in rural areas with no local psychiatric provider. Sunsetting telehealth will complicate healthcare access for so many Americans.
