“I felt more energetic and refreshed after each walk. The friendships, the fellowship, and the guidance from our doctors made all the difference… Walk with a Doc is for those who wish to improve their personal wellbeing and to be healthier and stronger.”
Good morning! We hope all is fantastic with you. It’s Friday! The other morning (a non-Friday), I was asked, What is Walk with a Doc? This is what our team sees. We see game-changers. We see community members, hospital administrators, innovators, docs, nurses, and medical students refusing the status quo and rebelling. They tell us […]
Good morning! Here we go. There’s nothing like good people, is there? It’s FRIDAY!!! Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish. david (‘Harry, he keeps doing these 4 quick things. I bet someone told him these newsletters were too long, and I’m glad they did! Some weeks I’d start reading on a Friday morning, look up, and all […]
Good morning! We were with friends the other night when a couple of cardiology questions came up, and it reminded me how similar (and confusing!) some of these terms can be. At Walk with a Doc, we always strive to keep our members as knowledgeable as possible, and this seemed like a great platform to introduce […]
Good morning, friends, Have you heard of OpenEvidence.com? It’s a new medical AI tool. Think of it as if ChatGPT and UpToDate had a baby.

Good morning. Here are 4 quick, good things. 1. In case you missed it, how much would you guess a pet is worth? If you’re up for a little guessing game, think of a dollar amount and see how close you are to what this study showed. Amazing, right?! I have a family member with 4 cats […]
Good morning! Every once in a while, this dog-eat-dog business required you to take a flyer. (The walking business is dog-eat-dog?) With intense heat pouring in from Physicians On Foot, Medical Meanderers, and others (David, why did you make these up?), we had to kick it up a notch or two. Under pressure, our WWAD […]
Good morning! Happy Friday, my friend. Speaking of cardiology office visits, I geek out talking with my patients about how they like to stay active. As you would guess, ‘gardening’ is a very common response this time of year. Well, that just makes my heart sing because gardening is a fantastic activity. It got me thinking, oh gardening, how […]
Good morning! Let’s party. Here are 10 questions you can/should ask your doctor. 1. What is this test for? Not asked nearly enough. 2. How many times have you done this procedure? If they tell you “Four. But the odds are one of these times it has to go well.” I’d tell them they have […]
Good morning! There are tons of benefits to receiving regular feedback from our WWAD chapters (please keep it coming!). One of the coolest things is that it helps us spot trends. Currently, as you may have heard, everyone is talking about Therapy Chickens. Many of the questions are similar so Rachael, Bryan, and I thought it […]
