If you are a: - Surgeon - Work at a Computer - Use Tech(Anything with a Screen) You should be doing: Chin Tucks + Seated Scapular Retraction What these exercises do: Chin tucks- strengthen deep neck flexors, improve head alignment, and relieve neck strain Seated scapular retractions- strengthen your shoulder blades, improves posture, relieves upper back tension They both act as a “RESET” to improve posture, relieve neck strain and pain and give you general pain relief. As an Oculoplastic Surgeon, I sometimes(like this week) have 25 surgeries alone- I was taught these moves early in my career. I do these on the way to work, in between patients, and at the end of the day! Be sure to check with your medical provider before you try anything at home 👌🏽😊 💪🏽❤️💪🏽💃🏽💪🏽❤️💪🏽 #neckpainrelief #surgeonlife #backpain #meded #neckpain

HIGH CHOLESTEROL can show up WHERE?! 👀❤️ Those yellow patches around the eyelids have a name: XANTHELASMA. They’re deposits of cholesterol and other fats underneath the skin. And while xanthelasma itself is usually harmless, it may be an important clue about what’s happening beyond your eyes. 👀 Up to half of people with xanthelasma have high cholesterol. ❤️ Xanthelasma has also been associated with increased cardiovascular risk. So don’t just think: “How do I get rid of these?” Think: “Should I get my cholesterol and cardiovascular risk checked?” Your eyes can sometimes give us clues about your overall health. 👀🫀. 📌 SAVE this—you may need it later. ↗️ SHARE it with someone who needs to know. ➕ FOLLOW for more ways your eyes can reveal clues about your health. Educational information only. Xanthelasma does not necessarily mean you have high cholesterol or cardiovascular disease; discuss your individual risk with your physician. #eyehealth #hearthealth #meded #highcholesterol #healtheducation

“After the rain, the sun will reappear. There is life. After the pain, the joy will still be here.” —Walt Disney Oculoplastic surgeon quoting Disney?! Yea. Some days are like that. There are some days that feel like they will never end. There are some moments that feel like you can’t take one more second. There are some choices you wish you never made. That is why your JOY cannot be defined by days, moments, choices. It has to be something deeper. When my life is in chaos I lean into HIS words that say that, “weeping may endure for the night but JOY comes in the morning.” Ground yourself in the truth today. I’m not sure what you are going through but I know that there is good ahead. JOY comes in the morning! There is joy after the pain! #JoyComesInTheMorning #faithoverfear #FaithInMedicine #ChooseJoy #ByGraceThroughFaith
