IT'S HERE!

So happy to share this work with all of you!

It's like this - imagine we are on a road trip for 2 1//2 hours. And all you want is to hear everything I know about the science of GLP-1 medications, how to understand and minimize side effects, and how to eat well, have fun, get good movement, and be as healthy as possible on a weight loss journey.

I've got you!

Link in bio. And it is under $5!

Tomorrow is the day!

BOOK #3 is dropping!

This one I am especially excited about. The past few years have been incredible in my field with the introduction of GLP-1's. Truly a game changer for many people struggling with obesity.

And yet - making the most of a medication gets back to the fundamentals that I am so passionate about. The right food, joyful movement, lots of sleep, and making connections. I've learned so much and can't wait to share it with you.

If you or someone you love wants to unlock the potential of weight loss medications, look no further!

It releases on Audible April 9.

I hope you love it!
Link coming tomorrow!

Happy Fourth!

Tonight the salads took center stage at our family celebration! A watermelon-tomato-feta-mint salad is light, luscious, and vibrant next to the creamy, hearty iteration of my grandmother’s perfect potato salad.

Credit for the watermelon-tomato genius goes to @samsifton in the @nytimes cooking section, and credit is always due to my grandmother who I spent many magical, delicious, sun-drenched summers with.

And in general, dogs don’t like fireworks!

My mom is one of the most joyful, open-minded, curious and fun people I know. I am grateful for her for a zillion reasons. Zipping up my embroidered parka, tying on my crocheted hat, and handing me a hockey stick at 2 years old was just the beginning! by @drjuliacooks

Perfect post-workout meal! Simple, 3-ingredient Nicoise-ish salad. Crispy romaine topped with roasted potatoes and my favorite tuna packed in oregano olive oil. It’s got everything you need to recover from a fun-filled @mrj.davis workout!

And gratuitous picture of my cute dog.

I couldn’t be more grateful for my kick-ass, hilarious workout partner Chris AND the most expert, motivating, soulful and sweet trainer in existence.

I will make you PROUD with my pull-ups!

Happy New Year! I’m starting this year off with a gorgeous Greek yogurt parfait in my new martini glass from Simon Pearce!

Thanks to the farmers market for year-round berries, Vermont for the maple syrup, and Santa for the hand-blown glasses. Perfection!

It’s my birthday weekend!!! 🎉🥳🎉

Seems a fitting time to get back to this “social” part of my life - it’s been SO long since I’ve posted.

Many of you know that 2 1/2 years ago, my beloved big brother lost his life. There are no words (good ones, at least) for suddenly losing someone so central to your life. All I can say is that grief is an ass-kicker.

But I can ALSO say that life still manages to be beautiful. I have been held up by my tribe of family, friends, colleagues and even patients. I have learned how deeply important it is to be gentle to yourself, to let people care for you, and to keep loving the bejesus out of the people around you. And to keep eating delicious food!

I am more grateful than ever for my work. Being a doctor can be - in its own way, healing. And it’s an exciting time to be in my field - and I am now ALSO working at Stanford! 😀😀😀

I have so many great projects ahead that I can’t wait to share.

For now, scroll for some things that have brought me joy lately.

My favorite way to spend a weekend morning, from the girl who was “Never, ever, under any circumstances, going to get a dog.”

What is your weekend bliss?

Came downstairs to this sight today - a sign of a well trained husband!! You all know my motto - “if you slice it, they will eat it!”

Thanks to @robnordgrenmd for holding down the fort while I get to spend time with awesome patients.
