Imagine several giraffes standing around discussing what it is that they should eat. Imagine one saying that it thought they should eat plants, and another saying it thinks they should eat meat. Now imagine a pack of tigers debating how long they should sleep. One tiger says that they need 10-20 hours of sleep each…
1. Olympic story that caught my attention this week… I didn’t realize the Olympics were on until mid-week. Not sure how I missed that. While watching the snow skiing big air event, I caught the story of skier Colby Stevenson. He was in a horrific car crash five years ago, fracturing his skull in 30…
The recent snow storm showed just how dramatic we can be. With the news, hyped up by media (of course!) that there was an impending snow storm headed our way, people freaked out. The reports were of ice and snow, but likely a two day event. This information should prompt preparedness. Ensure you have what…
1. Sleep tips I picked up this week (many I knew, some I did not)… I listened to a podcast with Dr. Andrew Huberman, a neuroscientist who knows A LOT about the brain, sleep, and human behavior. He was on Lewis Howes’ podcast, The School of Greatness. They were talking about sleep. Here are several…
As humans, we are wired with incredible abilities that help us heal, grow, and survive. We have been able to get to where we are today because we come equipped with a very specialized body and brain. The human body innately modifies its physiology to maintain survival in many different types of environments. And when…
1. Strategy I took a deeper dive into this week… I’ve known that there are ways to increase your success in achieving goals or improving behaviors and habits, but did not realize there was a term for those strategies/devices. They are called commitment devices. I believe knowing more about these will help you be more…
Late Tuesday evening, a screeching alarm sounded in our house. The noise was followed with a computerized voice… “Carbon monoxide detected..” We looked at each other confused, as if we didn’t know what that was. While we hadn’t heard that alarm before, it was clear that our smoke and carbon monoxide detectors had detected carbon…
1. Thought-provoking video I watched this last week… I consider Dr. James Chestnut one of my mentors. I have hundreds of hours of post-graduate study under him. He is one of the smartest doctors/scientists I know. Therefore, I pay attention when he speaks. He makes one of the MOST IMPORTANT observations and states the MOST…
Humans are notorious for thinking short term. We want what we want, and we want it right now. While we can get next day shipping on items we buy from Amazon and heat our food in thirty seconds in the microwave, the most important and most meaningful things in life can’t be had without putting…
1. Product I love… I believe activity trackers can have big benefits. I also believe the Oura Ring is the best one out there. I had the 2nd Generation model (thanks, Lana!), but lost it :(. I just received the new 3rd Generation Oura Ring (thanks AGAIN, Lana!!!), and I’m excited about some of its…
