We’re nearly two weeks into the new year. So how are you doing on your New Year’s resolutions? For some of us who hope to stay active, it can be hard getting out in the cold winter months. If your New Year’s resolutions have already fallen by the wayside, do not despair. In this week’s #fridaypfisterfix, I have some gems to help you get back on track and stack the odds in your favor!

Wow! What an interesting 2+ years it’s been for the #fridaypfisterfix - a way to connect with my patients and readers. Thanks to all of those who have stuck with me all this time! In this, my 100th blog entry, I talk about how the changing of the leaves in Fall has me reflecting on some changes we never saw coming over the past couple years…

As we begin a New Year, I’d be remiss if I didn’t throw my two cents in and put some research and verbiage to the Number One topic last weekend. That topic would be… drum roll please… New Year’s resolutions! As you are reading this, you have already survived the first week of 2022, but have your resolutions? If you’d like to keep them, check out this week’s #fridaypfisterfix…

What do COVID-19 and time travel have to do with one another? Well, perhaps nothing and everything at the same time. Check out this week’s #fridaypfisterfix for a (hopefully) thought-provoking take on space, time, and the COVID vaccine…

In last week’s #fridaypfisterfix, I talked about what makes our 4-legged soulmates (like my lab, Mocha) so special. This week, I talk about how we can best care for our loyal companions. Why is an orthodontist writing about dogs, you ask? Because it’s the #fridaypfisterfix and, while I’m not a Vet, I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night…

To all our patients, friends, and family - Happy New Year! There may have been some individuals in the world who saw what we had coming in 2020, but I have to believe most of us were blindsided by Covid 19. In this week’s #fridaypfisterfix, I say goodbye to my “not-so-perfect 2020 vision” and use lessons learned from this past year in suggesting resolutions for 2021…

How can you protect yourself against COVID-19? You don’t want to miss this week’s Friday Pfister Fix! As a healthcare provider, a lot of information comes across my desk as it relates to the latest & greatest in public health concerns. And while we’re in the business of giving you the best smiles possible, we also care about the “whole patient”, so we feel responsible for sharing what we’ve learned with our patients and readers. Check out my reflections this week here…

In last week’s #fridaypfisterfix, I shared the first 2 of 4 “Pillars of Life” - lessons in health and wellness that will extend your life. In the final of this 2-part series, I reveal Pillars 3 and 4. (Hint: #3 is stress management and number 4… well… you’ll have to read to find out!)

It’s always been a goal of mine as an orthodontist to treat the “whole patient.” In other words, I’m not just invested in my patients’ dental health, but also their overall well-being. In this week’s #fridaypfisterfix, as part of a 2-part series, I share 2 of the 4 “Pillars of Life” - lessons in health and wellness that were shared with me at a conference a while back. Emphasizing these pillars has helped me live a healthy and rewarding life and I’d like to share them with you, too.
