FROM THE PUBLISHER HAVE A PLAN This issue introduces you to a doctor you may have been seeing a lot of lately. A multiple Emmy-award winning chief medical correspondent for CNN, Dr. Sanjay Gupta is arguably one of America’s most respected doctors. A celebrated neurologist, Dr. Gupta’s measured demeanor on television amidst the COVID-19 pandemic has been a source of calm to a panicked nation. We check in with Dr. Gupta to find out what he thinks the longterm solution is for the virus that’s ravaging the world and to find out what he thinks is tougher, brain surgery or the news business. There’s no denying that life is tough, especially in the age of COVID-19. Writer Kimberly Blaker is on hand to help ease some of the difficulty with two articles. The first one is an in-depth look with detailed suggestions on how to work through challenging periods to develop a newfound appreciation for life. Meanwhile, her second article is a must-read for those of you who’re pet lovers. Blaker offers a step-by-step plan on how to put a crisis plan in place for your pet. “If there’s one thing the spread of COVID-19 has taught us, it’s to expect and plan for the unexpected,” she says. “In the event of an emergency, advance preparation for the care of your pet is vital to your pet’s wellness.” The pandemic has left no facet of life untouched, which is why we also touch base with Dr. Julie Alvira, who offers her educated tips on how to stay active while working remotely. A self-care routine that can facilitate wellness and make it easier to embrace the changes the pandemic has caused is key to remaining healthy.
