Father's Day Without Your Father
I drove from Kansas City to Oklahoma to bury my father in a Veteran's Cemetery two years ago this summer, not long after Father's Day. I have not really thought much about that day in the following two years. Which now feels kind of strange. Shouldn't I be think about it like a normal grieving adult child? It occurs to me now as I anticipate my wife and kids to celebrate my tenure as a father, that days like these are also memorial days for so many people. Although I have talked with many people who have also lost one or both of their parents, it never really occurred to me as it is this week, the profound imp...

The 4 Fundamental Pillars of Emotional Intelligence
Usually when we think of “intelligence” we associate it with things like logic, math, and science. However, according to psychologists such as Daniel Goleman, “emotional intelligence” (EQ) is another aspect of intelligence that is often overlooked. The basic view of emotional intelligence is that emotions aren’t necessarily the opposite of thinking, but a different way of thinking about different types of problems that exist in our world. In other words, emotions can be a very valuable tool in guiding our choices and decision-making. In light of his theory of evolution, Charles Darwin theorized that our minds...

Those with Type 2 Diabetes Have a 50% Greater Risk of Dementia
Conclusion In diabetic patients those initiating metformin had a five year reduced risk of dementia in comparison to patients initiating other therapies. Animal models suggest metformin may contribute to neurogenesis and trials are evaluating metformin as a potential therapeutic for mild cognitive impairment. These results are preliminary evidence that benefits of insulin sensitizers may extend beyond glycemic control to neurocognitive health.

After attending a medical graduation, a new sense of optimism
I recently attended the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine graduation for the class of 2013. It had special meaning for me since this was the last group of students at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine-Charles M. Schmidt Florida Atlantic University (FAU) joint venture to pass through my tutelage prior to the Boca Raton program becoming solely an FAU program. One of the graduates visited my office weekly for two years and then once per quarter the following year. He came to me as a first year student to learn how to take a history and do a physical exam after being out in the world working for...

Keystone Habits For Health
Courtesy of Ali Karimian, Flickr The following is a guest post from Naturopathic Doctor, Kate Whimster. I know Kate quite well and she knows her shit. She is also academically trained and as such included a long reference list supporting every claim she made. I have always wanted to say with authority, “Trust me I’m a doctor” but alas I remain sans PhD. So instead I shall say, “Trust her she’s a doctor” because I deleted the reference list for brevity’s sake. Keystone Habits For Health Have you ever wanted to do more with less?

Who walks in the classroom, cool and slow
If I'd been blogging it all along, cataloguing it day by discouraging day, I wonder if it would seem inevitable. I'm a little bit afraid, instead, that this comes out of the blue: Charlie's changing schools. After three years at the public elementary, this fall he'll go to what I self-consciously call Hippie Do As You Please School. We've known since October of his kindergarten year that he needed lots of structure and support, and I'm grateful to say that he's gotten it: the 504 plan; the occupational therapy; the physical therapy; the daily social learning; the kindness and heroic forebearance...

Latest reading round-up
I start with a recommendation not from me. I was sent ‘The Light Between Oceans’ by M. L. Steadman and passed it on to my mother as I knew it would be a long time until I got around to it. After doing nothing but read it from the moment she opened it, my mother commands that you read it. Yes, all of you. She is raving about it to everyone. So. Do as you’re told. I believe there’s a lighthouse, and a baby. (I haven’t read it yet because she is lending my copy around friends and neighbours. It will probably be 2017 before I get it back.) I almost loved ‘Perfect’ by Rachel Joyce. It’s beautifully...

4 Things Introverts Do that Makes Them Effective Leaders
Today, when we think of great leaders, we typically think of people with charisma, booming voices and big, bold personalities. Since the turn of the 20th century, it’s these qualities that have garnered praise, while qualities like being quiet and introspective have been seen as subpar, writes author Susan Cain in her book Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking. Our culture has dictated that great leaders and employees must be extroverts who are able to not only sell their companies, but also sell themselves. Even colleges started actively choosing extroverted candidates. “Harvard’s p...

Making sense of the healthcare debate
by Kent Bottles "Men govern nothing with more difficulty than their tongues, and can moderate their desires more than their words." - Baruch Spinoza. The most depressing aspect of the debate about the transformation of the American healthcare system is how liberals and conservatives talk past each other. It is hard not to get frustrated when zealots on both sides of the aisle refuse to listen to each other and refuse to learn from each other. The "ObamaCare 2016: Happy Yet?" op-ed in the Wall Street Journal last week serves as a prime example of an unbalanced and unfair attack on the Affordable Care Act. Bradley Alle...

A Good Night's Rest May Literally Clear the Mind
In this study, Dr. Nedergaard and her colleagues unexpectedly found that sleep may be also be the period when the brain cleanses itself of toxic molecules. The Alzheimer's Reading Room Knowledge Base contains more than 4,000 articles. Their results, published in Science, show that during sleep a plumbing system called the glymphatic system may open, letting fluid flow rapidly through the brain. Dr. Nedergaard's lab recently discovered the glymphatic system helps control the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), a clear liquid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. "It's as if Dr. Nedergaard and her colleagues have...
