Health at the Lake - Preview 2

You know, one of the things I’ve learned from doing this podcast… is that the health of a community isn’t just about hospitals or doctor’s offices.


It’s about information. It’s about access. And most importantly… it’s about the conversations we’re willing to have.


Recently, I had the opportunity to spend some time at the Lake Oconee Health Fair, surrounded by some incredibly knowledgeable professionals, researchers, and providers who are right here in our region, doing work that is not only impressive… but in many cases, life-changing.


And as I listened to these keynote speakers, I found myself thinking something pretty simple: More people need to hear this.


Not just the folks who were in the room that day… but all of us.


So today, you’re going to hear a couple of those conversations, a glimpse of what’s happening in the world of health and wellness right here around Lake Oconee.


But more importantly… this is the beginning of something new.


We’re launching a new podcast called Health at the Lake ,where we’ll be sitting down with doctors, specialists, and experts to talk about the issues that matter most… especially as we age, but really for anyone who wants to live better, longer, and with a higher quality of life.

No fluff. No confusion. Just real conversations with people who know what they’re talking about.


So think of today as your preview…


A front-row seat to the kind of insight that could make a real difference in your life, or in the life of someone you care about.

Lure of the Lake

Lake Oconee, Georgia, located halfway between Augusta and Atlanta, is a man-made paradise with incredible beauty that makes it a great vacation destination for people of all ages. More than that, though, it's a community for those that are looking for a peaceful life filled with nature and beauty.

I, myself, am a member of that community. I moved to Reynolds in 2020 and started to hear the incredible stories of its residents. Join me, now, as we take a plunge into some fascinating stories of the many well-lived lives of our community and learn why they were Lured to the Lake.
