Ty @Dr.Adrian.Chavez for your insight -minimize the obsession about food chemicals and instead emphasize and address the deficiencies and inequities that truly compromise and jeopardize public health. Food chemical elimination does NOT equal health optimization. #activeadvice #fuelsofengagement

10 years today- so miss your snark, wicked sense of humor and the best eyeroll ever. You were one of a kind- eclectic, eccentric and a musical theater fanatic. Doting uncle to our sons- what would Uncle Louie do lives on in their words and actions. #activeadvice #fuelsofengagement

Mind over matter? I just love this cartoon sent by a dear friend. When brain&body are not on the same page it is difficult to engage in self-care. This is why we must listen to learn, meet people where they are and offer realistic, achievable , do-able recommendations over impossible expectations.
