The lymphatic system is one of the most overlooked parts of whole-body health.

It’s a network of vessels, lymph nodes, and organs that removes waste, balances fluid, and supports your immune function. When it becomes sluggish — which is common with stress, dehydration, long days on your feet, or too much sitting — you may feel puffy, tired, or slow to recover.

The good news? Small, daily habits make a big impact:
• 10–15 minutes of walking
• Hydration + electrolytes
• Deep belly breathing
• Gentle dry brushing or self-massage
• Compression socks
• Prioritizing sleep + lowering inflammation
Your body is designed to heal and flow — sometimes it just needs a little support. 🌿

On the coldest December 1st Austin has seen since 1898 ❄️, we bundled up and braved the chill for one of my favorite community traditions. Santa hat ✔️ Light-up glasses ✔️ Warm feet… absolutely ✔️

As a podiatrist, I never pass up a chance to share a little cold-weather foot wisdom—especially when outdoor holiday events keep us standing in the elements. Here’s how I kept my feet warm (and how you can too!):

🧦 Start with smart layers — Merino wool socks (like Smartwool) help regulate temperature, wick moisture, and keep your feet warm without overheating. Cotton is a no-go in cold weather—once it’s wet, it stays wet.

🥾 Choose insulated, weatherproof boots — I wore my insulated Sorel boots tonight. Look for styles with:
• Waterproof uppers
• Insulation (100–200g Thinsulate is great for Central Texas cold snaps)
• A roomy toe box so your toes can move—movement = warmth

🔥 Keep blood flow moving — Standing still makes feet colder faster. A few ankle circles, toe scrunches, or short walking breaks help keep circulation strong.

🧊 Know the signs of cold stress — Numbness, tingling, or painful cold isn’t something to push through. Warm up indoors or with a heated blanket or warm drink in your hands.

Staying warm lets you enjoy every moment of the holiday magic—twinkling lights, chilly air, rosy cheeks, and all. ❤️🎄

Our 2nd annual post-Thanksgiving Friendsgiving campout was exactly what my soul needed. While most of the world chased Black Friday deals, we chased fresh air, campfires, long hikes, fishing poles, footballs, backyard golf balls, and belly laughs.

There’s something special about slowing down together—sharing coffee by the fire, singing under the stars, and watching our kids play endless games with no agenda.

In a season of giving thanks, I’m eternally grateful for these friends.
My cheerleaders. My confidants. My people. 🤎
Already counting down to next year.

Happy Thanksgiving, friends. 🧡

Today I’m feeling deeply thankful, grateful, and beyond blessed—for my family, for the journey I’m on, and for this incredible community.

Thank you for your continued support, encouragement, and kindness. Wishing you all a day filled with love, good food, and sweet memories.

Meet my latest “go-everywhere” sneaker: the M.OG Shoes (Cement/Charcoal/Forest) — from clinic to casual outings, these have kept me comfortable for 12 + hour days and turned heads with their clean aesthetic.

Why I love them:
✔️ Multi-layer cushioning with M.FLOAT tech — my feet felt less fatigue, more thrive mode.
✔️ Suede/mesh mixed materials + forest accent = versatile but elevated.
✔️ Packaging goals: “Dream – Plan – Hustle – Repeat” box + reusable zipper bag.

As a podiatrist, I know what long hours on your feet feel like — this shoe delivers both foot-health sensibility and style.
