🧠 New This Week 😠 Is Your Brain Making You Hangry?


New This Week

from Dr. Robin's School

Hey Reader!

We've all been there. Your kid is being difficult, and you know exactly why: they need a healthy snack, a glass of water, or maybe just a nap. The problem is, they won't listen!

As a parent, I get it. Our kids tune us out when we give them advice, no matter how good it is. That's why I made a short, fun video about the hypothalamus. It's the part of the brain that controls hunger, thirst, sleep, and emotions.

This video is the perfect way to let a "third party" explain why they need to take care of themselves. It’s a quick, fun way to show them the real reason they get so moody. Next time you can say, "Hey, remember what Dr. Robin said?"

Together with You,
Dr. Robin

P.S. As a thank you for watching, I've created a free downloadable checklist poster plus guide for you plus. The first page is an easy-to-follow list of the "whats and whys" of moods, designed to post on the fridge or put in a school binder. The second page has more details on why this works. The video has the link to get your poster!

Dr. Robin's Inner Circle Members Only Newsletter A Note from Dr. Robin Hi Reader, My private practice was a safety net clinic, caring for patients who didn't otherwise have access to care. Many of my patients found me when things were truly serious and a friend or neighbor told them about my practice. One woman arrived looking so pale that the inside of her lower eyelids, where there should be healthy pink color, were almost white. She said she felt “just a little tired,” but something was...

Dr. Robin's Inner Circle Members Only Newsletter A Note from Dr. Robin Hi Reader, My grandpa had his first heart attack (blocked blood vessel in his heart) in September of 1955 while he was serving in the Army. And by coincidence, President Eisenhower had a heart attack at the exact same time and they both ended up at Fitzsimons Army Hospital in Denver, Colorado. I've actually seen the President's recreated room there! At the time, there was almost nothing doctors could do for a heart attack....

Dr. Robin's Inner Circle Members Only Newsletter A Note from Dr. Robin Hi Reader, I’ll never forget the day a patient with a large facial scar thanked me—not for a prescription or a procedure, but for looking her in the eyes.

Our skin tells our stories—of growth, healing, and resilience—and it deserves both care...
