In May at ISH we are shining the light on movement and the BIG impact movement can have on health. Movement is a powerful leveraging activity that has a cascade of powerful benefits for health and healing. Today's email goes into the importance of consistent movement throughout the day. If a consistent movement routine is not in your daily rhythm, try adding movement snacks to your day, scroll down to learn more!
Join us this Tuesday at group visitMovement is Medicine for a deeper dive, connection, yummy snack and inspiration. Scroll down for Group Visit Schedule.

I will be taking my PA national recertification test in June. As a Physician Assistant (PA-C), recertification is required every 10 years, along with completion of 100 continuing medical education (CME) hours every 2 years.
Beyond these national requirements, I continue advanced learning in functional and integrative medicine through additional coursework, conferences, certifications, and clinical training.
As my recertification testing approaches, I’ve been reflecting on how much medicine continues to evolve and how important it is to remain both curious and committed to lifelong learning. The deeper I go into this work, the more I value combining evidence-based medicine, functional medicine, and the lived experience of patients in a thoughtful and grounded way.
It is truly a privilege to continue learning so I can better support the members I care for at ISH.

A single one-hour workout is great — but sitting for the other 23 hours largely offsets the benefit. The body responds well to regular movement cues throughout the day, not just a single session.
Movement snacks are exactly what they sound like: small bites of movement. A 5-minute walk between meetings. A few squats before lunch. A shoulder roll and deep breath after a long call. Marching in place while your coffee brews.
Each micro-movement activates circulation, nudges your lymphatic system, and sends signals to your brain that you are alive, upright, and active. These cues accumulate over time — and the consistency of frequent movement matters more than the intensity of a single session.

Try setting a gentle reminder every 60–90 minutes today to take a 3–5 minute movement break.
Stand up, walk to the kitchen, do a few stretches — whatever feels natural.
Notice how you feel at the end of the day compared to a day without those breaks.
