Medicaid does a lot of things. Today I want to share that Medicaid is an important lifeline for people who are moving from active substance use to recovery. There are helpful services and medications that encourage, support, and protect people as they begin recovery.

Five Calls! Y'all! you can call your US Senators and Representatives easy peasy! Issues and scripts are included but of course you can decide what you say. Load the app on your phone if you want or use the website. What are you doing today that gives you hope? Action decreases anxiety.

Winter weather has returned, but it's important to still get outside, to let the sun shine through the clouds and onto our skin/clothing and into our eyes. It's. also important to keep moving. Yak Tracks have been a game changer for me when there is ice on the ground.

Boy, these last eight days feel like a good reminder why democracies generally avoid letting people who attempt a coup come back to power….

Health officials and experts said this week they are reeling after the new Trump administration on Tuesday abruptly halted external communication at the Department of Health and Human Services and its agencies.
Health researchers alarmed as Trump administration pauses travel, communications
The halt has frozen research grants, meetings and key health updates. “Everything is basically in chaos,” said one cancer researcher.

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance.
Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Walk with a Doc wants you to enjoy the great outdoors this winter, but please be careful. Also, if you feel there is someone you love who may benefit from these reminders - please forward this to them.

7. If all this fails, you are outside lifting wet snow, and chest pain or an anginal equivalent (shoulder, arm, jaw, etc.) hits - Please get inside, chew 4 baby aspirin, and call 9-1-1. What was I thinking?

6. No alcohol before going outside or while outside. Feels warm I know - it isn't. It causes vasodilatation of our skin's vessels making us feel warm. But then the warmth goes away and we are left outside freezing our rear end off.

5. Please respect the wind and snow—they steal your body heat. Wind is very concerning because it removes the layer of heated air surrounding our bodies.

4. Please keep your face (and everything else) well covered. Let your scarf or mask warm the air coming into your lungs. Hats are crucial. Studies have shown up to 10% of our body heat is lost through our head (the 50% thing is a medical myth).

3. "Doc, I'm dying to get out and shovel. I LIVE for it." Ok, I get it - I like it too. If you need to do this and you've not been taking part in strenuous exercise - talk to your doctor about whether or not you need a stress test.

2. Want to do it yourself? Consider a snowblower.
Talk about making the neighbors happy. Plus there is much less stress on the ticker. You'll be In and out of that frigid weather in a hurry.

1. If you have been relatively sedentary, don't do it - don't shovel. There are plenty of kids around who want the cash. . Therefore, safely consider your money an investment in our kids' cognitive performances. Plus you will be the "cool" neighbor.
