1. Commemorative gift we had made… My daughter, Quincy, graduated from Ohio State University last month. She was on the Ohio State Water Ski Team, and last fall won the Women’s D2 Jump National Championship. I posted about that last fall. We wanted to commemorate this accomplishment with something special, but couldn’t figure out the…
The leading causes of death in 1900 were pneumonia, influenza, and tuberculosis. These were infectious diseases, meaning you got sick by coming into contact with a pathogen. If another person was sick, and that person coughed or sneezed on you, that infection could pass to you and make you sick. You “caught” the flu. These…
1. Craziest medical advice I heard this week… Every day patients tell me about recommendations their medical doctor gave them that is absurd. Not only is it ineffective, but often, it is dangerous. I had one this week that is worth sharing. It was easier to make a video than write it all out, so…

If you’re old enough, the words cola wars surely ring a bell. For those that don’t know what that is, Coke and Pepsi battled it out to be the number-one cola. From what I understand, 7-Up never stood a chance to even be in the fight. Instead of being at the bottom of that pack,…
1. Wellness tip… One supplement every NEEDS to take is vitamin D. Vitamin D is actually a hormone and is critical for so many functions within the body… especially the immune system. I encourage you to get your vitamin D levels checked any time you have bloodwork done. I take 5000 I.U. every day. I…
We all want to avoid getting sick or injured. Nobody likes being down and out with a cold or flu, or laid up with a sprained joint or broken bone. Unfortunately, no matter how hard you try, you will occasionally get sick, and no matter how careful you are, you will have injuries. You could…
1. Great video clip I saw this week… The Foo Fighters have a great song called My Hero. Their drummer, Taylor Hawkins, passed away two years ago. At their tribute concert at Wembley Stadium later that year, Hawkins’ son, Shane, played the drums for that song. I did not see it until this week. WOW!…
We’ve all seen or read the quote, “It’s the journey, not the destination.” If this is true, then why do we get so immersed in seeking the destination that we completely miss the journey?
