The Living Spine
Enjoy my guest post today about The Living Spine – on California based Professional Yoga Therapy student and physical therapist Lisa B. Minn’s fantastic blog, The PragmaticYogi.
Living Well
Living Well – The Integrative Lifestyle Medicine Blog is where Dr. Garner curates research, resources, and shares her experience as a longtime physical therapist, athletic trainer, Lifestyle Medicine practitioner, and professional yoga therapist. As a mother of 3 who is self-employed & self-made, Dr. Garner shares what she has learned about how to stay fit on a budget, how to eat well, sleep better, and manage stress. Ginger practices what she preaches, and her blog is a true reflection of that. Having gone through several surgergies, injuries, and hardships, Ginger’s story is a raw and real portrait that many of us share – one of overcoming big obstacles to build resilience, strength, and find eudemonia. Eudemonia translated means, a place beyond happiness. The Living Well blog, and Ginger’s clinical practice, EudeMOMia, an Integrative PT & Lifestyle Medicine practice for women, are a testament to Ginger’s ability to persist through difficult circumstances, overcome burnout & the threat of poverty, to speak to her passion – Living Well.

Happiness Inventory, part 1
Are you happy? The Pursuit of Happiness in today’s hyperactive, super-stimulated, and over-medicated society seems to be subtitled with the phrase “Immediate Gratification” or “If it feels good do it.” However, if we take a look around Wall Street or Main Street we can see where that mantra (motto) has gotten us. Under a looming…
A Fear Vaccine
A Fear Vaccine I just finished reading my requisite Oprah article for the day. No joke. My “To Do” list for the next few weeks (actually months) has arrived and weighs about as much as an anvil (you know the kind in the Road Runner cartoons). My attempts to keep the proverbial anvil of stress…
