1. Habit I am recommitting to… In a time when customer service seems at an all-time low, I have found myself complaining about it A LOT. Well… after a really good meal with excellent service at lunch this week (Dante at Cedar Creek Grille), I have recommitted to praising those that do a great job.…
I have been writing articles every week in the local paper for over fifteen years. I’ve written almost 1,000 articles. And I started posting them on this website a few years ago.

1. Quick, easy, healthy meal… We try to make meals that are lower in carbs, plant heavy, good protein, low sugar, and overall nutrient-dense. Lettuce wraps are just about perfect. We start with a piece of romaine lettuce, add a protein (sliced chicken thighs or breasts, higher quality lunch meats, steak, or pork), sliced pickle,…
With all of the research being done, money being spent, and knowledge we are gaining, it only makes sense that we are on the verge of a major breakthrough in regards to our health and longevity, right? There is always hype around new breakthroughs, whether it’s a new workout program, dietary supplement, medicine or medical…
