1. Strategy I took a deeper dive into this week… I’ve known that there are ways to increase your success in achieving goals or improving behaviors and habits, but did not realize there was a term for those strategies/devices. They are called commitment devices. I believe knowing more about these will help you be more…
1. Thought-provoking video I watched this last week… I consider Dr. James Chestnut one of my mentors. I have hundreds of hours of post-graduate study under him. He is one of the smartest doctors/scientists I know. Therefore, I pay attention when he speaks. He makes one of the MOST IMPORTANT observations and states the MOST…
1. Product I love… I believe activity trackers can have big benefits. I also believe the Oura Ring is the best one out there. I had the 2nd Generation model (thanks, Lana!), but lost it :(. I just received the new 3rd Generation Oura Ring (thanks AGAIN, Lana!!!), and I’m excited about some of its…

Symptoms varied wildly, including one, some, or all, of the following: Sore throat, fever, body aches, sinus congestion, runny nose, cough, headache, fatigue, loss of taste and/or smell.

I’ve heard a lot from Dr. McCullough over the past year and a half, and find him to be very knowledgeable, genuine, and credible. I felt this…

1. Interview I did this week… Most of you know that we run a weight loss program in our office and remotely. The amazing transformations we get to see and the incredible stories we get to hear are what drive us to continue doing what we do. This week, I interviewed Dan, one of our…

1. Upsetting (and alarming) thing that happened to me this week… I have written articles every week in the three local papers (Aurora, Hudson, and Twinsburg) for roughly 17 years. These articles are the same as the blogs I post every Tuesday on my site (drbizjak.com). This week, the paper WOULD NOT publish my article,…
