1. Video clip I loved… I was sent a quick video clip (thanks, Kevin G.) of a college football player making a great catch in a recent scrimmage. The player is someone I’ve known since he was a baby, and his parents have been great friends of mine for a long time. This kid is…
In all things in life, there is good, better, and best. I am a big fan of shooting for best. I believe the whole concept of wellness is based on maximizing your body and health so that you function, perform, grow, and heal at your best. But how do you continue to grow? What happens…
1. Wellness tip… I talk regularly about intermittent fasting as a major health booster. Our much healthier ancestors fasted regularly, not for health reasons, but because they had to, as food was scarce at times. I regularly skip breakfast, allowing for 16-20 hours of fasting between my previous dinner and that day’s lunch. This week,…
If things are going well, and all is good, there is no reason for change. But if things are not going well, it’s probably a good time to think about change. Necessity is often the catalyst of change. The thing about change is that it can come in many forms. Let’s say you are struggling…

Two BIG problems with this… First, research showed early on that virus transmission through contact is very unlikely. So, the positive impact of sanitizing the heck out of everything is…

1. Something I’ve been thinking about this week… I’ve been thinking more about contrast this week. I frequently listen to Lewis Howes’ podcast, School of Greatness. I was excited to see that he had Dr. Rhonda Patrick, a PhD biochemist, who is one of the smarter researchers I have heard talk about aging, cancer, and…
When confronted with having to make a decision about a course of action to take, it always helps to know ALL of your options. It is very difficult to make great decisions with limited information and data. It also makes it difficult, and often dangerous, if you only know some of the available options. So…
1. Adventure I had this week… My son and I headed to Colorado for a quick trip for some spring skiing. We flew out late last Thursday night to ski Friday and Saturday, and possibly some skiing early Sunday before flying back home. Well… a huge storm hit. Our flights were cancelled, the highway down…
As humans, we can’t possibly know everything. And as humans, we make mistakes. But as humans, it is very difficult for us to admit both of those things. Doctors are notorious for blowing both of these… they tend to act like they know everything… and they aren’t very good at admitting that they made a…
