Dr. Knepper also tells us about some innovative, non-surgical or minimally invasive ways to treat varicose veins, with little discomfort or downtime.

You’ve probably heard the term work/life balance. It’s that balance between time devoted to your job and all the other areas of your life. Organizational Development Specialist and former life coach Michelle Guenther says, “Balance implies a kind of tension to keep both sides equal. I like to think of it as the flow or rhythm of my life. I ask myself how I can fit my priorities within the flow of each day. By the end of the day I want to feel like I’ve created something good.” Michelle shares a few thoughtful ways to create a smoother flow for yourself, your family and your “everything else” every day.

Dave and Andrew talk with neurosurgeon Azam Basheer, MD, about a problem a lot of us can relate to (unfortunately!)—back pain. Dr. Basheer shares how to know when it’s time to see your doctor, helpful ways to reduce back pain, and how to prevent back pain in the first place.
