Two surgeons, one operation: the model behind Catherine Hannan's practice
Catherine Hannan does something in the operating room that most plastic surgeons never do. She shares it. For major procedures at Washington Women Plastic Surgery , the Washington, D.C. practice she co-founded, Hannan scrubs in beside a second board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Lauren Patrick, and the two operate on the same patient at once. One plans a contour while the other checks symmetry. One closes while the other reads proportion. In a specialty where the surgeon is almost always a solo act, that arrangement is close to unheard of.

NO SUCH THING AS NEUTRAL
There is no neutrality in physical existence. You can avoid church, politics, spirituality and uncomfortable conversations, keep your head down, go to Walmart, celebrate the holidays, and tell yourself you are simply living your life.

PMOS is Not Just About Weight
If there’s one thing that will forever and ever make me rage - it’s weight stigma in reproductive medicine. For a large population of people, visiting the doctor for concerns of irregular periods, stubborn acne, or thinning hair is met with a frustratingly singular piece of advice: "Just lose some weight, and your symptoms will go away."

One Down .. Millions To Go
Introduction This was where I was in 2017, doing a million steps every three months. That is probably still true today, although I have reduced my daily target to seven thousand steps. That may sound odd, but I believe it is always best to set achievable targets because when you hit them, it feels good, and when you surpass them, it feels better. The targets have also got to be meaningful, to sum people it might be walking up a flight of stairs, or even just getting out of bed.

Eating Well is a Hierarchy of Needs
In the world of modern wellness, we are drowning in the minutiae, these minor details that start to take over every health and food decision that we make. We argue over seed oils, debate the timing of our morning shots of apple cider vinegar, and stress over whether our kale was massaged in a BPA-free bowl. We’re missing the plot. We focus on the pinnacle of the pyramid while the foundation is crumbling. Groceries become unattainable because of their cost, air and water quality suffer, health insurance access is smaller and smaller and there are less and less family doctors or public health services.
