1. Three words I love… I heard a podcast this week where the guest was asked to sum up their life goals. They simply uttered these three words… Fun, Freedom, and Fulfillment. I love it! It reminded me that life is short, it’s easy to get bogged down in the busyness of life, and we…
We are living in very strange times. Depression and loneliness are at an all time high. People are frustrated, angry, and concerned about the future. I’d like to say that things are about to turn around, but I don’t believe they are. So, what should we do? Give up? Throw in the towel? Crawl in…
1. Great video clip I’m re-posting… The body is a self-healing, self-regulating, miraculous creation. We forget that it will work better, if only we give it what it wants and get rid of what’s bad for it. I’m reposting this video of a celery plant that we had that was wilting. Some would see this…
I have a long-time patient who has lost 38 pounds. She looks amazing, her bloodwork and biomarkers are all remarkably better, and she is thrilled. But what caught my attention most was what she said… “I didn’t realize how bad I felt before losing the weight. I can’t believe I let myself feel that way.…
1. Book I am re-reading… I read the book, The Great Cholesterol Myth: Why Lowering Your Cholesterol Won’t Prevent Heart Disease–and the Statin-Free Plan that Will, by Bowden and Sinatra, more than a decade ago.

Startling stat I re-read this week… Properly prescribed medications cause over 100,000 deaths every year…100,000 DEATHS!!! WOW! Let that sink in. And these are deaths due to properly prescribed medication… which…
A child’s mind roams freely. Imagination, creativity, and wild thoughts are just part of the experience of being young. It’s in these early years when some things capture our attention more than others. These things pique our interest, spark enthusiasm, and trigger something special within. It’s a time when ideas are formed, thoughts are provoked,…
1. Great clip I saw this week… Dr. Zach Bush is one expert that I love listening to. He’s super well-spoken, has great information and insights, and might be the smartest person in the wellness space (a triple board-certified MD). In this quick clip, he highlights how stress results in increased strength and reminds us…
When you do exercise of any kind, it causes microfractures to your bones and microtears in your muscles. This, at first, might sound like a bad thing. But as a result of these microtraumas, the body repairs the bone and muscle tissue, and it doesn’t just repair to be like it was before the trauma.…
