1. Funny (and not-so-funny) anecdote I saw last week… Someone shared this funny, but sadly accurate, take on how politics, big business, and the world work. (Thanks for sharing, Chris T.) I could not find a source, so I just reprinted it here… I told my son, “You will marry the girl I choose.” He…
When it comes to wellness, two words that are pretty popular are balance and alignment. A healthy person strives to live a life that is balanced and works to keep all areas of their life aligned. But we need to be careful when setting goals or working to create the ideal life. If our vision…
1. Happy St. Patrick’s Day… St. Patrick’s Day has always been a celebrated holiday in our family. My grandmother was half Irish and was proud of it. My mother used to take us out of school to attend the parade in downtown Cleveland. I have fond memories of getting together with my family, complete with…
What’s in it for me? This is a question we, as humans, love to ask. It appears to be a selfish question at first, but we have not just survived all these years as a species–we have thrived–as a result of this very question. This is a question we like to ask when it comes…
1. Study that everyone MUST be aware of… Last month, a study was published in The Lancet proving that natural immunity to COVID is “at least as high, if not higher” than that provided by the vaccine. You don’t say!?! This was the largest meta-analysis to date, and included an impressive 65 studies from 19…
Many people avoid doing new things because they appear to be difficult. It is human nature to get into a routine in life and remain there because we are comfortable. When it comes to building a better body, getting into shape, changing your diet, and adopting an overall better wellness lifestyle, most people feel intimidated…
1. Something I’ve been thinking about this week… There is a lot of talk about lifespan. This is the total number of years we live. We get very excited about the thought of being able to live longer and longer. But as we become sicker and sicker (which we have), we need to put more…
I recently had a conversation with a medical doctor about cholesterol and cholesterol medication. I was surprised that she was still recommending cholesterol-lowering drugs. And she was pretty excited about doing so. Heart disease is still the number one killer in America. This is despite the fact that one out of every four Americans 45…
1. Frightening stat I learned this week… There had been a study in 2017 showing that the sperm count in men had been dropping a little over 1% each year over the past 50 years. Well… they just updated the data… and it AIN’T GOOD! Turns out that the sperm counts in men WORLDWIDE is…
We are on a never-ending quest to make life as easy as possible. It seems like we spend a ton of time and energy inventing new ways to ease the burden of life. At first thought, that makes sense. After all, it’s great that we don’t have to be in a field tilling up dirt…
