  • [TT] Energy 🧠 Boosts! 🚀

    In clinic recently, a patient shared their struggles with constant tiredness. When we started talking about physical activity, they immediately thought of gym workouts and lengthy exercise routines.

  • [TT] 🌟 what process? 🧠

    Happy 2025!  If you’re planning to start a new habit, or break old ones, now is a powerful time to harness the power of a fresh start – a topic I shared about in a past [TT] newsletter).

  • [TT] 3 🧠Boosts

    It’s less than 2 weeks to Christmas! With twinkling lights and festive buzz all around, it’s also a time when our energy levels can dip – whether from shorter days, holiday preparations, or seasonal sniffles.

  • [TT] Brain Space

    Sometimes when I’m overwhelmed with work, my desk tells the story – piles of papers everywhere, computer desktop crowded with files, and an ever-increasing To Do list…  That’s when I know I need to pause!  I’ve come to use this as a “canary in the coal mine” – an early indicator that I need to…

  • [TT] I just inhaled my sandwich! 🥪

    Back when I was working as a young doctor, I’d often reply “I just inhaled my sandwich!” when asked if I’ve had lunch, as I rushed between in-patient ward duties or outpatient clinics. Those hurried meals, often eaten while standing or rushing between wards, were setting up a pattern of stress that affected both my…
