One of the best investments in myself has been learning to cook. Stop eating out y’all. It’s killing ya.

The mundane will run your life if you let it. There’s more to life than mowing the lawn, watching tv and shopping

Year after painful year, the #1 cause of bankruptcy in the US is massive, unpayable medical bills.

It is never correct to tell a patient "We have nothing left to offer you." Patients are healed by us simply being with them; they are healed when we listen to them; they are healed when we are willing to suffer with them. #TipsForNewDocs #Caring #compassion

Fitness twitter is a contest to see who can come up with the most ridiculous supplement regimen. If you eat well you don’t need ridiculous supplements.

Why has the medical community normalized insurance companies denying necessary treatments? We just act like it’s not a big deal. It’s a huge deal! And it’s unfair to our patients.

Imagine going your whole life and anytime you’ve gotten injured, it gets better. Then you get injured and it doesn’t get better. That can really mess with your mind. #ChronicPain

I hear this sentiment frequently: bc of chronic pain it’s hard for me to get out and last thing I feel like doing is jumping through hoops at my pcp just to get a referral to a pain clinic where I don’t want to go anyway. It’s a viscous cycle. #chronicpain

Traeger chicken rub is my new favorite rub for smoking chicken. Why did I wait so long to try this?

Everyone should learn how to decompress their spine on their own at home. It’s very simple but does take a bit of practice and instruction. Anyone can do it!

Mental health is an integral part chronic pain. Helping patients see this is challenging, what they hear you saying is “it’s all in your head”. #chronicpain

When evaluating patients who complain of back pain radiating to the leg it’s very important to differentiate what hurts worse, the back or the leg

Modern food is so addictive. It’s made to be that and profitable more than it is made to nourish. I combat this using a form of intermittent fasting. For me it’s all or nothing.

You can teach folks all the basic science in the world, be board-certified in 5 disciplines, or have 500 publications. But what you can’t teach is common sense. I will die on this hill. You can’t do it. People have to want to covet it and intentionally develop it.
