1. Inspiring clip I watched this week… One of my best buddies sent me a 1-minute clip of entrepreneur Ed Mylett in an interview talking about something that inspired him. I loved it! I watched it several times, and it hit me just as hard each time. I can’t imagine anyone not being moved at…
If you see a plant that’s wilting, you know it’s in bad shape. The leaves are soft and shriveling, it lacks its vibrant green color, and it is drooping. You know it is either deficient in something or toxic with something. There is something keeping this plant from thriving. The world is full of people…
1. Concerning thing I saw this week… While on a flight to Austin this week, I picked up the magazine provided by United Airlines. After flipping through it, I noticed in the upper right hand corner of the cover it said this… “This magazine has been treated with an antimicrobial process.” I understand wiping things…
Who are you? If I ask you this question, you’ll likely tell me, or at least include, what you do for a living. You might also include your age, possibly share where you live, and maybe add some past accomplishments. Our identity is shaped by what we do, where we live, who we spend time…

Our health has been highjacked. Insurance companies tell us what doctors we can see, what tests can be performed, and what treatments they will allow.

Drug companies are profit-driven, view us strictly as consumers, pump out over-priced…
1. GREAT story I heard this week… I watched a YouTube video of Trevor Moawad telling a story about kid and his SAT test. I loved it! And you will too. It is POWERFUL! But don’t just listen to the story. Think about how powerful our thoughts and beliefs really are. What we believe about…
Many of you will find it surprising to know that I used to get into some trouble when I was younger. Enough trouble that I landed in front of a judge at the juvenile detention center. That day significantly altered the course of my life. The judge looked at my parents and told them what…
1. Question I have been getting a lot this week… Many people have been asking about the new COVID booster shots that are being recommended. I have to remind them that drugs (of any kind) are out of my scope of practice and that I cannot make any recommendations. I usually then share some data…
I asked one of my elderly patients how she had been feeling. She responded by saying that her old friend Arthur was in town visiting. When she saw my look of confusion, she laughed, and said “Arthur. You know… Arthur-itis.” She was referring to increased pain she was struggling with due to arthritis. Pretty funny.…
