Can’t See a Doctor? How to Cope.

Published in: Aging, Chronic Diseases, Health, Hospitals and Clinics Healthcare Providers Healthcare Policies and Laws Drugs and Medicines Diabetes Columbia University, physician shortage, Staying Healthy

The Association of American Medical Colleges projects that the nation will face a shortage of 12,000 to 31,000 primary-care physicians by 2025. So it's no wonder you may be finding it harder to find a doctor or to schedule an appointment with the one you have. What's fueling this problem? The baby boom generation pouring into older age, an aging physician workforce preparing to retire and an … [Read more...] about Can’t See a Doctor? How to Cope.

Why We All Need to Strength Train (and a giveaway, too!)

Published in: Aging, Chronic Diseases, Exercise, Health, How to Maintain Strength, How to Stay Strong, Midlife, Muscles, Staying Fit, Staying Healthy

Having celebrated a big birthday recently has made me more sentimental about aging than normal. But with sentimentality comes complaints. Granted, they're not in a  a "woe-is-me" kind of way- but with a bit more humor and irony attached to them. Humor? My feeling is that if we don't laugh about creaky joints, gray hair, diminishing eyesight, hearing and skin tone, then all that bitching becomes … [Read more...] about Why We All Need to Strength Train (and a giveaway, too!)

Shouldn’t We Be HEALTHIER Than Our Parents Were??

Published in: Boomer Health, Cardiovascular Health, Chronic Diseases, Exercise, Fitness, Goals, Health, Nutrition

I like to think that every generation learns from the prior generation and steps things up when it's their turn. This one thing is for sure:  I always thought that we knew more about being healthy than our parents did. C'mon, look at us! We're the gym-goers, healthy eaters, obsessed with our input as well as our output. We're the healthy generation, the enlightened ones who know a thing or two … [Read more...] about Shouldn’t We Be HEALTHIER Than Our Parents Were??

On Not Being Somebody’s Child

Published in: Chronic Diseases, Death, Esophageal cancer, Letting go, Losing a parent, Losing someone you love, Loss, Midlife, Parents

  I've managed to live this long - 58 years - still being someone else's child. I may be an adult child...but nonetheless, there's something strangely comforting about being in your 50s and still having a mother and a father. And although I may be fooling myself, being someone else's child makes me feel less like an adult in this so-called midlife, and more like a (somewhat) young … [Read more...] about On Not Being Somebody’s Child

Midlife Minute: Being Fit Matters NOW

Published in: Cardiovascular Health, Chronic Diseases, Fitness, Health, Midlife

Do you have aging parents? I do, and to watch them suffer with various ailments is so heartbreaking. Living to an old age, while a blessing, is in many ways so very difficult - it's a good thing places like https://www.immanuel.com/ exist to help the elderly in need of assisted living. It can be hard especially if you're plagued with ongoing health problems. That's one thing to keep in mind if … [Read more...] about Midlife Minute: Being Fit Matters NOW

About Me

What’s this so-called midlife, anyway?

It’s a time of tremendous change, growth and opportunity. A time to re-evaluate our choices, our experiences and ourselves. A time to take what we’ve accumulated up until now and put it to work.

When I turned 50, many things changed... read more about me.

I’m writing to express my admiration for the work you are doing!

I'm a young medical writer trying to get a foothold in the industry, so the portfolio you have on your website showcasing your accomplishments is something that I'm aiming to achieve.

I don't want to take up too much of your time, but I am hoping you can share some advice, tips, or guidance as I work on this, my lateral career change!

Thanks for taking the time to read this - I know you probably have much more exciting things to be doing, but just know that your work is inspiring me to continue down this writing path.
