Remembering to Connect the Dots

My Brains Not Broken

The other morning, I went for a run. I’m training for a half-marathon (my first one ever – please send some positive vibes my way!), so some of my runs are getting progressively longer.

Talking With Families About Childhood Obesity: A Practical Approach

Relias

There are certainly some less-than-ideal stories that both patients and providers could share around childhood obesity.
