1. Something I am NOT worried about… By now, you’ve heard the hype around the new Hantavirus. Two problems… it’s not new… and… the fear the media is pushing is WAY overblown. The media loves fear, so you’ll hear words like “deadly virus,” “mysterious outbreak,” and “experts are warning.” Can it be serious if you…
If you were around in the 80s and 90s, then you surely remember the Just Say No campaign aimed to help young people avoid illicit drug use. Why? Obviously, because drugs can be very dangerous, even deadly. The ironic thing is that while the government, the media, and parents were telling youth to say no…
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…

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…

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. They released a “revised and expanded” edition in 2020, so I re-read it then. And now, I am rereading it…
Human beings are the most confused species on the planet when it comes to health and wellness. No other animal on the planet has difficulty knowing what to eat, how much to move, or how to live congruently with its genetic needs. The result? We are the sickest species on the planet. There is so…
1. Feedback wanted… I have been doing Friday’s Findings for many years, and now I am requesting your feedback…please watch the video below. 2. 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.
