Walking isn't exercise — it's a biological necessity. Dr. Courtney Conley, gait specialist and author of the new book, Walk*, is back to make the case that walking belongs in the same category as breathing and sleeping, and that most of us are wildly underestimating what we lose when we don't do it enough. If your gait speed, your foot health, and your pain management strategy have never gotten a second thought, this episode will change that.

What did a health-conscious woman get wrong — and what can her story teach us about living longer and better? In the first half of this episode, I share a personal look at mom's health journey: what went well and what didn't, and I celebrate her being a pioneer in the work of making healthy lifestyle changes.

And then we'll also tackle belly fat. Specifically, the kind you can't see — and a tool that makes it visible. If you've ever wondered whether your daily choices are quietly working against you, this episode will give you a way to find out — and some surprisingly simple shifts that don't require changing what you eat at all!

  • For all inflammatory conditions: Drug rash, allergic contact dermatitis, psoriasis, lupus, tine pedis, erythrasma/pitted keratolysis (providers can use woods lamp to diagnose) it is important to seek care early so a biopsy can be done and the correct diagnosis made with the appropriate treatment plan being designed.
  • Regarding SPF: the physical (mineral) blocks are preferable because the block a wider spectrum of the light including UVB and are less irritating especially for sensitive skin. And they don't cause a problem for our coral reefs. Zinc oxide is ok for most. For patients suffering from melasma, titanium oxide is another step up.
  • Calluses build in response to external pressure. Adjusting footwear and habits should come FIRST. A general "clean up" of calluses at the nail salon is not recommended. A gentle approach while keeping some protection from the cushioning callus is recommended if the inciting stimulus remains. Also, the cuticle (little skin fold attaching the skin to the nail where the lunula is (white crescent) is super important to seal the nail unit from bacteria crawling in.

Did you know (or do you still) know the calories in a medium egg? In a slice of sandwich bread? Or of a small apple? I lived by the calorie for too many years. Should it be the end all-be all? Definitely not. Do calories have any sort of role in determining our intake needs? Maybe. Let's figure out what about the calorie we might find valuable so that we can happily toss out the rest!

Meal planning stress, kitchen overwhelm, and the guilt of never doing it "right" — Kendra Adachi is back with a better approach. Her book The Lazy Genius Kitchen isn't a cookbook; it's a framework for making your kitchen actually work for your life. We cover her five-step process for "lazy geniusing" any area of your kitchen, the meal matrix method for reducing daily decision fatigue, and why naming what matters — quick? homemade? everyone at the table? — is the only meal planning strategy that sticks. Practical, judgment-free, and genuinely useful for any season of life.

Overwhelm, perfectionism, doing it all — Kendra Adachi of The Lazy Genius Collective is here to help us stop all of that! Her framework is simple: be a genius about the things that matter, lazy about the things that don't. In this conversation, we explore why one-size-fits-all productivity advice fails most of us, how to identify what truly matters in this season of life, and a step-by-step process for calming the everyday frustrations that quietly drain us. Practical, permission-giving, and genuinely fun. This episode originally aired in 2022, and all that Kendra shares is timeless! Since this conversatoin, Kendra's gone onto double down on her work in the field of productivity and time management, coming out with the book The Plan, which I will link to below!

Our choices => extra years! What I heard at a recent conference changed how I think about aging. This is one of the most encouraging and actionable things I've shared. Because the research is clear that the gap between those who get this right and those who don't can be measured in years — and every day we wait is a day we're not getting our message across. Our genes need our input so let's communicate with them... starting now!
