1. Documentary I watched this week… I had seen previews for the documentary The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist, and I wanted to watch it… but I also did not want to watch it. Why? Because I figured it might worry me. And I don’t like to worry about things I can’t…
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.

1. Something I’m SUPER proud of… Tomorrow marks the 250th anniversary of the United States. This is an incredible milestone. I feel extremely lucky to have been born in this country and to be an American. We have so much to be proud of. And I’m EXTREMELY grateful for the men and women who have…

Wellness is really about living the best life possible. And I think it helps to look at your life like a story. While most people just let their stories unfold, some work to create the most epic tale possible. It’s time to remember that you are the author of your story. When you wake up…
1. Shocking fact I learned this week… Crumbl has become a very popular place known for their unique and very tasty (and very expensive) cookies.

Something very scary and concerning has happened over the last several decades that we have never seen in human history. Chronic illness rates have skyrocketed.
