H&W | Weather & Body Pains

Some people think it’s “all in your head” when the weather changes and your body suddenly starts aching. But many of us know differently. The wind shifts. The rain moves in. The pressure changes.

H&W|Navigating The Speciality Health Care System

Have you ever found yourself frustrated trying to get through to a doctor’s office or specialty clinic? As someone who works in healthcare here in Seattle and is also a patient myself, I see both sides of the experience every single day. Pain. Fear. Long waits. Phone calls. Referrals. Insurance. Confusion. And people simply trying…

H&W|When You’re in Pain

Waiting for a doctor to call back when you’re in pain can feel like the longest hours of the day—especially for elderly patients. The truth is, not every doctor can prescribe certain pain medications, and surgeons often have limits before surgery. So what can you do while you wait? Today’s Health & Wellness shares gentle,…

H&W|💛 Learning to Heal Beyond the Procedure

💛 Learning to Heal Beyond the Procedure Today reminded me how personal healing really is. I spoke with one of Dr. D’s patients — she had received an injection about a month ago and was doing great until yesterday, when she tried to lift a two-pound weight and felt that sharp, familiar nerve pain return. I…

Life|H&W|🌻 When Compassion Collides with Policy

🌻 When Compassion Collides with Policy It’s hard enough for a patient to call a specialty clinic. They sit on hold longer than they should. When they finally reach a person, it’s often not the one who can help them. And by the time they get to someone who can, they’re told: “Your insurance no longer…

💛 The Distance Between Health and Home It’s one thing to talk about access to care — it’s another to witness what that really means.

H&W|🌻 Flava Wellness: Pain, Breath, and Balance

🌻 Flava Wellness: Pain, Breath, and Balance Living with radiculopathy and arthritis has taught me more than I expected — not just about pain, but about myself. Early on, I noticed something: my anxiety and anticipation of the pain often made it worse than the pain itself. I would tense up, worry, and expect the…
