1. My #1 Wellness Tip for 2023… 2. Hilarious (and telling) video clip I saw this week… I must have watched this video clip from TikTok at least a dozen times this week. It’s hilarious! The little kid celebrates after seeing what is likely a team scoring on the television… until he sees that his…
I remember doing science experiments where we would swab different things around us (like door handles, tv remotes, pencils, etc.), rub those swabs across the gel-like material in a Petri dish, putting a lid on them, and leaving them in a cool, dark place. Roughly five days later we could see the bacteria in those…
1. Great analogy I heard this week… The obesity and overweight rates in our country continue to rise to ridiculous numbers. It is so weird that we can’t seem to figure this out. I heard Dr. Jason Fung, New York Times best-selling author of The Obesity Code, The Complete Guide to Fasting, The Diabetes Code,…

1. A video clip from my talk last week… Thanks to all that attended my talk last Thursday. We had roughly 115 people in attendance. It was good to be in front of a live crowd again. There is SO MUCH to talk about these days, so it was hard to distill it down to…
In last week’s blog, I stated that we are the most confused species on the planet when it comes to health and wellness. That confusion has led us to cling to myths regarding our health, which I wrote about last week, but myths plague every aspect of our lives. Here are five life myths that…
1. Cool thing I came across this week… We have two sets of sliding barn doors in the back section of our office. The wood for these doors came from a barn in southern Ohio that was over 100 years old. It belonged to a neighbor of one my best buddies, Jeff Snyder. We took…
We are the most confused species on the planet when it comes to health and wellness. Part of the problem is that we get one PhD saying one thing and another PhD saying the exact opposite.
