Hospitality with a backbone

Be sweet. Be thorough.
Don’t sugarcoat the labs.

Southern manners and serious medicine can sit at the same table. That is the whole point of this house.

Root cause, said neighborly

Most tiredness is not one villain. It is a pile of small things: a gut that never recovered after antibiotics, sleep that got thin, a thyroid that looks “normal” on one lonely number, a nervous system that has been smiling through it.

Maria names the pieces, ranks them, and changes the ones that will actually move you—without a plan that falls apart by Wednesday.
