Hip Mobility Clinic
This Saturday (3/2/24) at 11:30-1:00 Coppermine in Timonium, MD
Hip mobility is important as we age to protect other joints like knees & shoulders. Activities like running, swimming & pickleball can make us “tight” and others like sitting or driving can make us “weak”. We will work on both sides of this! Movement & Strength.
Register with Maria at Coppermine
I was asked last week “Do you Tweet?”. And later I thought, “what’s the question behind the question?”.
The answer is YES. I am on the platform because I like to “meet” or be exposed to people who I’d never connect with face to face otherwise. Twitter, now “X”, has become a way to sit in on many conversations! I follow several medical doctors who publish their research or protocols and repost other medical doctors. It’s like being in a doctors’ lounge as an observer listening to their clinical experiences. I feel we are responsible for our health and the more we learn, the more we can question..
Today I met heart surgeon, Dr. Philip Ovadia. He has a heart quiz on his website ifixhearts.com and writes a weekly blog much like my orthopedic brother www.therealhousemd.com/monthly-blog
Sometimes exposure to a new idea can make us change on a dime! Other times it takes years or decades. Or even 32 years for me to change from a vegetarian/vegan to a grass fed & Baltimore farmed carnivore. Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks!?!

Healthcare versus Sickcare
I often am asked questions after a class that are ABOVE MY PAY GRADE. My response when asked might be something like, “That’s a question for my brother, Ti, the orthopedic surgeon!”. Well now you can get his answers on his new website https://www.therealhousemd.com/
Ti is now sharing wellness advice and how it relates to orthopedics. He is seeing an increase in his practice of chronic rather than acute issues with inflammation being a cause. His hope is this blog will inspire those who want to make changes and get back to health.
Check out the weekly or sometimes bi-monthly blog and subscribe for updates. The most recent is “Willpower & Habits”Another is “Why You Don’t Need an MRI”.
Ti also reviews under Lifestyle the 5 “Baskets” of Chronic Inflammation. Can you guess what they are before looking? Clue - what causes or what do you lack that contributes to chronic inflammation?
Enjoy reading. I’m excited for Ti and what he is doing to help make the world more healthy & well in a system of “sickcare”.
I guess we are in the rainy season here in Baltimore. Which reminds me - I can’t wait to get back to Bodhi Tree where it is sunshine and blue skies every day, all day. And during winter!
If you want sunny skies and wrap around warmth next February when it is icy in Baltimore, come join us in Costa Rica at the Bodhi Tree Resort.

We all know movement & exercise are good for us especially as we age, but what does it specifically do to help us?
When we understand the “why” & “how”, it helps with motivation and staying consistent.
If you do not know Jordan Peterson, he’s been through quite a health journey! You can dig deeper and learn about his carnivore diet. He’s a good interviewer on a variety of subjects and this one is fact- & science-packed!
Concerned about dementia? Exercise! The brain weighs a tiny percentage of the body total and uses 25% oxygen intake. Concerned about inflammation, cancer, weight? Yep, all the same! Exercise!
I keep my movement safe and easy on my joints and past injuries. I enjoy walks including hills, yoga and reformer Pilates. Adding the resistance training with the reformer has greatly helped me to stay strong at 60!

Group in-person classes are fun, but it can be just as nice to practice from the comfort of your home. Join me on Saturdays 9:30-10:45 ET. It’s a strong alignment based practice that moves a little slower than many classes you will find today. If you’re experienced you will learn how to get stronger and improve form. If you are new, come for the warm up and do as much as your comfort allows.
