Ever since I started sourcing all my beef, eggs, chicken, and milk from Brookhaven Farms , the changes in taste, nutrition

Preventing Parkinson's

Welcome to another edition of the Doctor’s Note where we talk about what’s on our minds when it comes to your health.  Today I’ve been digging into the growing concern around Parkinson’s disease—especially how it’s no longer just about treatment, but prevention.

Your Neck Posture Tells Your Story

Welcome to another edition of the Doctor’s Note where we talk about what’s on our minds when it comes to your health. This week on the podcast I dove into a topic that’s often overlooked but is critical to our health as we age: neck posture. I kicked things off with a towel wrapped around my neck—not to emulate John Thompson’s iconic look, but as a practical demonstration. As a longevity doctor, I can’t help but notice the trend of forward neck posture, especially in older ad
