South Lake Tahoe couple launches award-winning BumpBar
Submitted by admin on Sat, 04/15/2017 - 6:16pm
No, BumpBar is not a new watering hole in South Lake Tahoe. Instead, BumpBar is a nutritious bar with the pregnant or nursing woman in mind, and is the creation of local couple Dr. Amanda Weavil, MD and Scott Weavil.
BumpBar began in 2015 when Amanda, a South Lake Tahoe OB/GYN wanted to develop a nutrition bar for her patients who were either pregnant or nursing. Something they have and not worry about the ingredients.
Scott researched the large nutrition bar market and found there were no options for sale like they had in mind, something people could eat on the go that was healthy.

Submitted by paula on Mon, 03/28/2016 - 9:09pm
"It was a sign that I need to retire," said Dr. Kelly Shanahan.
Shanahan sat down with me recently, to reflect on her 22 years in South Lake Tahoe, and the almost 10,000 babies she's delivered in her career.
The sign?
Without putting her office up for sale she received a phone call from a local realtor, asking if she'd like to sell the building that houses her Emerald Bay Center for Women's Health.
The potential buyer came to look at the property, and shortly after, a vacationing doctor called to see if she'd like to sell her practice.
