1. A shout out to mothers… It’s Mother’s Day this Sunday, and I want to wish ALL mothers a happy day. To all mothers, never underestimate the influence you have on your children. And you are doing a phenomenal job. If you have young/teenage boys, do not take their behavior personally. My mother would often…
Doctors know that the last thing to come on in most disease processes or health problems is symptoms. The underlying condition is usually brewing for a while before you know you have it. Well… after a year in this pandemic, there are many issues rearing their heads. Depression, loneliness, anxiety, and weight gain are on…
1. Video I captured this week… We had some great weather this week. I caught some video of the sunrise on Tuesday. Total video was 26 minutes long, but I went in and out of iMovie with the video, speeding up the video each time, I was able to get it down to 24 seconds.…
Human beings, Americans in particular, are very short-sighted. We are quick to act, then pound our chests with pride and arrogance (as if we’re so smart), only to find out that despite our short-term success, we pay dearly for our decisions later.

1. My latest wellness tool… Infrared saunas are among the most talked about, most impactful, and most affordable higher-end biohack devices. I’ve been using one for over a decade. We have one in our office (which used to be in our home), and this week we installed a new one to my home. Like all…

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…
