One of the most common medications that I see on my Medical Health Questionnaires is Aspirin. Or “baby” aspirin. It has been touted as a low risk preventative to cardiovascular disease. It thins the blood and reduces the likelihood of clots. Makes sense right? But what if it wasn’t actually low risk? And what if

Back in the Holiday season of 2024, I sent a text out to all of my past and present clients wishing them a Happy Thanksgiving, but also giving them a little pep talk. I didn’t discourage eating, drinking or being merry. However, I did provide some tips and hacks to provide a shield against some
