Medicine, Motherhood, and health advocate

About Me

Hi I’m Janelle! A resident physician (in Anesthesiology to be exact), a wife, former division 1 athlete, and a new mom to a baby girl.  I began my blog journey as a 4th year medical student seeking to obtain a balance between my personal life, passion for health/fitness, and medicine.

I wasn’t sure that I could handle it all but I quickly realized that with strong support and personal belief I could! I finished med school, started residency, had a baby all in the same year (2020)! I’ve had plenty of failures along the way, but graciously (praise God) have always found a way to make it work.

I hope this site will serve as an inspiration to you. Whether you’re an aspiring med student, a reapplicant (I was there), new mom wondering when you’ll feel like yourself again (I was there too), a busy professional or care giver looking for quick healthy meal ideas, or a student-athlete wondering how to balance it all (like I was). I hope you’ll find something on here that keeps you going, because YOU CAN.


Thanks for coming to my page!
