Good morning and Happy Halloween! How are you doing this morning? Today is looking to be a gorgeous Friday. I’ve been thinking about something a little weird. When I go for a walk, I sometimes think about catching butterflies. Not the actual butterflies, although those are pretty great, too. I mean ideas. You’re walking along […]
Real stories. Meaningful connections. A healthier community. Every step has a story. Here are yours. Earlier this year, we invited our Walk with a Doc community to share their experiences through our 2026 International Survey. Your responses reminded us that Walk with a Doc is about so much more than physical activity. It’s about friendships […]
Guten Morgen! Do you ever have those days when you know there’s an idea just a couple of layers beneath the surface? Maybe a shower, a cup of coffee, or a walk will bring it out. Maybe it won’t. This Monday night, around 8 p.m., I left the house barefoot and went for a walk, […]
Good morning! I would love to share a story with you this morning. This is the tale of a celebrity who died on July 4, 1995, yet somehow managed to help save my patient’s life decades later. Apart from the air being a touch cooler and damper than usual, it was a typical Wednesday morning […]
Good morning! I hope you’re doing well, and thank you for your time. Yesterday, our 11:45 a.m. office patient came way early (never a bad thing). This left a solid hour before our next visit. It was 67, sunny, and quickly seemed like it would be a crime if I didn’t head across the street. […]
Good morning! Let’s get right to it. Last Tuesday started like any other. I’d taken our two poodles, Phoebe (11) and Henry (5), for a dark, foggy, early-morning walk and was settling down with a steaming cup of roasted coffee in our son Charlie’s room. With Charlie now in D.C., it’s usually vacant and my […]
Good morning! How’s your week going? Hopefully well! This past Sunday, during dinner, there was a pregnant pause, and I finally gathered the nerve to speak. “Honey…” (voice cracking) “Honey…guess what tomorrow morning is?” Krissy momentarily looked out of the corners of her eyes in thought. “David, no! We are not…No. Just no.” She rapidly […]
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 want to keep our Walk family members as informed as possible, so this seemed like the perfect chance […]
Good morning! It is so great to be with you. How is it possible to feel that warm sense of community just by typing into a laptop? I have no idea, but I do. I’m grateful for every one of you. 1. Moais One of the most beautiful things I’ve watched happen over the years […]
Good morning! I’m in such a great mood. I saw a ton of patients this week, and so many of them are working hard on their health journey. That never fails to inspire me. One patient on Wednesday told me they had kept up their morning walks despite the heat. They didn’t talk about pace, […]
