🤩 Beautiful results from just 2 sessions of laser. Often patients don't realize that sunspots start deep in our skin and come to the surface later. This is why it is important to start treatment early. We use a pico second laser to target pigment deep in the skin. Of course, we all need to prevent this with sunscreen but laser is still the gold standard for removal of dark spots.

Enjoying my time here in Portugal 🇵🇹 . The beauty and culture of this place has inspired me to pursue my goals. I have been coming here since 2013 and studying Portuguese since 2012. I am greatful for the ability to travel again and enjoy the beauty of this world.

🚨The Ironman 70.3 Portugal was a life changing experience. I signed up with only 6 weeks to train. It had been 8 years since the last time I did an Ironman event.
🔷Throughout the race I had to manage and overcome physical, mental, and emotional challenges. I had to fight negative emotions and mental demons.
♦️Ironman forces you to confront every mental problem that exists in your life. Pushing yourself in this way forces you to overcome the psychological battles that you face on a day to day basis.
🏊🏽‍♂️The swim was hard - 1.9km, 35 mins in freezing open water, ocean.
🚴🏾‍♂️The bike was tortuous - 3 hours through windy, hilly, conditions with a mountain top climb to Sintra, Portugal... 90km total.
🏃🏾‍♂️The run was a nightmare, 21 km of hell, in hot hilly conditions. I pushed myself into a state of mental fortitude that I didn't know I had.
🔶Ironman has always been a building block for my life. It got me through medical school, it got me through breakups, challenging times, hardships, life experiences. For me Ironman is a lifestyle, it forces you to become a better person, a stronger person. Looking forward to the next battle.

Race day... 😱😇😁
Feeling lots of emotions at the moment. Tomorrow I will compete in the Ironman 70.3 Portugal, in Cascais, Portugal 🇵🇹 . I have prepared long and hard for this day and look forward to sharing this challenge with you guys.
🔻I recently ended a long term relationship and have struggled with coming to terms with identifying the next steps in my life.
🔺Triathlon, and sport, has always been an anchor for me. It keeps me focused, grounded and moving forward. While I find myself at a challenging point in my life I see this as an opportunity for growth and mastery.
🔻I have come a long way to get to where I am today and tomorrow I hope to dig deep inside myself to discover a new place, a new focus, a new beginning. No matter how hard a challenge seems all you can do is move forward. Follow my stories for updates. Will keep you guys posted on how the race goes! 👍🏽💪🏽👊🏽

🔆New week, new opportunity to work towards our goals 👊🏽!
❇️Personally, Mondays can be a struggle. I find it helpful to start by organizing the week in the morning. ☑️I review all my emails, develop my check lists, and set realistic goals for the week. Having a game plan in place and following it can help alleviate some of the Monday blues. Organizational skills are a key part of being a medical doctor.
❓What do you guys do to prepare for the week?
