Hello and welcome to my blog!
My name is Brooke and I’m a PGY-1 resident physician. I have been blogging in some form since middle school. This is just a hobby blog for me to get my thoughts and opinions out there. Some of the things I say on here may just be to benefit myself, but I also realize that sharing can help others. I mostly blog about my experiences, and I always try to put my unique spin on things.
Some of my interests include lifestyle medicine, fitness, mental health, obesity, women’s health, healthcare wellness, and makeup.
I grew up in the Midwest in a small farm town in northwest Indiana. I usually describe Winamac as being an hour and a half south east of Chicago and an hour and half North west of Indianapolis. I have been overweight-obese my entire life and I’ve lost significant amounts of weight… twice. I’ve lost the same 80 pounds, twice. And gained it back, twice.
The most recent weight gain happened during medical school, even while I was actively trying to lose. I try different things and do lots of research on weight loss– specifically nutrition (although I’m not certified in nutrition, I’ve read a lot.)
I am currently a first year resident physician in the outskirts of Philadelphia. I am a newly wed to my best friend and we live together in the Philadelphia suburbs with our two cats.
Thoughts and opinions are exclusively my own and do not reflect those of my employer or affiliates.
**Website under construction. I updated servers and hosts and now I’m converting old posts to new posts.
