Bringing You Healthy Living

For my first post I wanted to share a little more about who I am and what to expect from this blog. In general, I will focus on helping people live healthier lives and breaking old bad habits.

Hello everyone! My name is Rebecca Kopperman. I was born and raised here in the Reston area.  Today, I wanted to take a moment and share with you my plan for this blog and what I hope you get out of it.

On this blog, I plan to share my personal experiences, the difficulty and success, while I strive to live a healthy lifestyle. I will also share any strategies, tips, or advice I find along the way. In return, I hope that you too decide to share your struggles and  triumphs, so that together we can help each other strive to be healthy in a world that supports bad habits.

A little more about me…

For undergrad, I went to Virginia Tech, where I learned to love, some would say become obsessed with, Hokie football.  From there, I went to New York where I become a Doctor of Chiropractic medicine, and now have returned to my hometown to start my practice and help my community live a healthier, happier life.

 I first got my passion for medicine when I was diagnosed with Type I diabetes. From this I have learned so much about myself, my body, and what it truly means to live a healthy life.  It is this knowledge that I hope to share with everyone, and I hope to continue learning new things.
