March Journal Set-Up
For over a year I have been using "Silk and Sonder" to journal and plan my daily life. I still remember the theme of my first journal (October 2022) - Acceptance. There was a heavy weight of worry for my oldest dog at the time. He was having routine surgery for an aural hematoma (blood blister in his ear). Then, he was 11 going on 12 years old. Although the vets had cleared him "healthy as a 6-year-old", he is a very special dog to me that I stressed over obnoxiously. The journal prompts through "Silk and Sonder" helped me accept what I could not control, and trust the vets to take excellent care of my baby. After many tears, Dino came out of surgery completely fine and is still going strong today!

MANAGE ADHD WITHOUT MEDICATION
Have you ever encountered parents of children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) inquiring about non-medication treatment options? This question seems to be increasingly common in my practice when addressing ADHD in children. While the prevalent approach in the US often leans towards medication, studies indicate that a more nuanced strategy might be beneficial, particularly for younger children.

The 5 Stages of CKD
When it comes to Chronic Kidney Disease or CKD, the kidneys don’t fail all at once. It is a progressive condition that evolves through five distinct stages. Each stage presents its own set of symptoms, ranging from subtle signs to more pronounced indicators of declining kidney function. Understanding the symptoms and stages of CKD makes it possible for the condition to be treated. Timely diagnosis can pave the way for effective treatment, and can additionally even slow down disease progression.

The Green-Brown Paradox: Challenging Myths in ESG Investing Through the Lens of Carbon Transition Risk
Commonly held beliefs about the effectiveness of sustainability initiatives — such as the circular economy, carbon trading, ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) investments, integrated reporting, and the drive towards a net-zero carbon economy — are often perceived as aligned with investors’ interests. These concepts, widely celebrated within the ‘business-for-good’ narrative and sometimes bolstered by questionable correlations, are currently being re-evaluated. It’s crucial to discern whether these sustainability efforts truly deliver on their promises or if, in some instances, they serve more as myths constructed for marketing purposes, aimed at attracting stakeholders.
