About the author

I have been blogging since 2010 when I started writing for a local hospital. It wasn't long after that, I decided I wanted to be a doctor so I could help people live healthier lives. I graduated from medical school in 2013 and I am now working full-time as a physician assistant in a family medicine practice. I also continue to write on topics related to medicine, fitness, and lifestyle.
