1. Phenomenal resource I recommend… I’ve been following author and entrepreneur Brian Johnson for almost two decades. He created Philosopher’s Notes, where he has taken more than 700 of the top self-improvement books and created quick summaries. He does a phenomenal job… and gives you the options to read the summary, listen to an audio…
Beautiful buildings, luxury homes, high-end sports cars, and exquisite works of art begin in the imagination of those that create them. The human mind has an amazing capacity to think, dream, and envision. Once seen in the mind, the brain is able to fine tune that vision, the details are etched to precision, and we…
1. Incredible feat we watched this week… Netflix aired its live coverage of Skyscraper Live, which documented the climbing of the Taipei 101 skyscraper in Taiwan, a 1,667-foot building, by free solo climber Alex Honnold. A few things that made this event extraordinary… Honnold did not use any ropes or safety harnesses, no one has…
We are very good at treating sickness and disease, but we are terrible at addressing and treating the true causes of sickness and disease. In last week’s blog, I noted that 70-90% of all reasons for doctor visits are related to, caused by, or affected by stress. The boom in physical and mental health conditions…
1. Cartoon I saw this week… I saw a cartoon this week that caught my attention. Like a lot of good cartoons, at first, they make you chuckle… then, they make you think. This cartoon is simple, well done, and unfortunately, pretty spot on. I know most people feel that the medical system is too…
One of the major shortcomings of our mainstream healthcare system is its lack of addressing the cause of illness. We are very good at treating and managing symptoms, but terrible at addressing or correcting the true cause of modern day health problems. If you have back pain, you get a pain-reliever. If you have constipation,…
1. Great sign we saw this week… When we have bloodwork done, it is usually through Quest Labs. They have locations everywhere, but we use the labs in Twinsburg (on Edison Blvd.) or in Aurora (at UH in front of Heinen’s). When it comes to any healthcare encounter, the healthcare provider plays a huge role…
There are certain words that I really, really like. I occasionally post those on my Friday’s Findings at drbizjak.com. One word that I have been thinking about more recently is awe. I love this word! One definition of awe is a feeling of reverential respect mixed with fear or wonder. It is so easy to…
1. New fun gadget we’ve been using… For Christmas, the kids got us the Ninja CREAMi ice cream maker. It has been awesome. It can make ice cream, milkshakes, sorbet, and more. The one they got us (called the CREAMi Swirl) has a soft serve option. Lana has made several types of ice cream so…
I think it’s fair to say that most of us dream of, strive for, and work toward eliminating problems in our lives. A problem is defined as “a matter or situation regarded as unwelcome or harmful and needing to be dealt with and overcome.” Who does not want to get rid of unwelcome or harmful matters…
