I’m sure like many of you, the end of the year is not only a time of celebration, it’s a time of reflection for me, when I get the chance to look back at the past year’s “highlight reel”, lessons learned and amazing experiences. For myself, and the “Ask Dr. V” community as a whole 2013 was quite a whirlwind of wonderful new beginnings, new adventures and transformative new relationships with likeminded individuals. I am so grateful that I have been able to take my passion for educating and informing people about their health, wellness and preventative healthcare across so many public platforms as the Ask Dr. V brand continues to grow. When I became a physician I made the commitment to help people live their best and healthiest life, and when I launched the Ask Dr. V platform and community I did it so that I could expand on this very commitment and my ability to help and be an advocate for more than just my patients, but for readers, viewers and listeners around the world!
This year has been full of so many highlights as I was given the support and chance to carry out that mission. From CNN to CBS, Women’s Health Magazine to Essence, Cosmopolitan to Capitol File and Queen Latifah to The Huffington Post and Perez Hilton, I’ve been welcomed by the press to share my knowledge with you. My website has become an online homes for relatable, relevant and trust-worthy content that you can access 24/7 to improve the quality of your body, mind and life. Thanks to social media I’ve been able to connect with people from coast-to-coast via wellness campaigns including Live Right at Night and The Proof Project.
My passion for your wellbeing hasn’t been the only love I’ve been able to share this year. There have also been lighter moments where I’ve shared my love of personal expression through fashion and style. I was humbled to be called a Style Icon by Refinery29 and share top accessory picks with Capitol File Magazine. I’ve also enjoyed sharing my favorite things across all categories, from food to wellness and fashion via my Dr. V Recommends series.
If you thought this year was exciting just wait until I you see what I have in store for you for 2014. Starting this January I’m going to be unveiling fresh, new ways we can work together and improve your quality of life inside and out. I can’t reveal it all right now but rest assured, I’m bottling up and packaging my knowledge, tips and advice in innovative means that you’ll be able to watch, read, order into your home and send to your friends!
You’ll want to make sure you’re always up-to-date and in-the-know as we release these exciting features, projects and products, so be sure to watch out for my bi-monthly newsletters, follow me on Twitter and Facebook and communicate with me via any mode you choose so that I can better serve you and your health!
Wishing you all a safe, happy and healthy holiday!
Smooches,
Dr. V
