Dr. Joan's Life Tip of The Month: Get Out and Walk!  

It's March and (unless you're in the Southern Hemisphere) temps are rising, the sun is stronger and flowers are about to bloom. Brisk daily walks will lift your spirit and strengthen your body. Enjoy the fresh air with a partner, whether human or canine. Bring a friend you want to spend more time with. Start shorter and build up in length and intensity over time. You'll be glad you did.

 
What is Dr Joan up to?
-Led a workshop for employees of Spottsylvania County, Virginia on The Stress of Care-Giving.  
-Staying close to home on February 16th I talked to Verizon employees in Loudoun County on Heart Health.
-Gave an interview to the Al Jazeera Network on the legacy of the space shuttle Discovery's 'final' flight after 39 successful missions. Included John Glenn's historic return to space in 1998 at the age of 77. 
-On March 9th, speaking to Hadassah women's group in Bethesda, MD on the topic of my book The G-Connection: Harness Gravity to Reverse Aging.
