1. Stat I heard this week that caught my attention… I was listening to an Ed Mylett podcast, and he cited a study and stat that caught my attention. I jotted it down so I wouldn’t forget it. Here it is… If you applied yourself to something (giving it deliberate practice, effort, study, attention) for…
1. 30-second video that AMAZED me… One of the main things I check when looking at food labels is the “added sugar.” Our consumption of sugar has skyrocketed over the past several decades… and is absolutely a MAJOR contributor to the chronic illness boom we are seeing. My buddy sent me this video that is…
1. New tradition I’m instilling (or at least trying to)… I am a BIG fan of tradition. And as life changes, it is important to welcome new traditions… and honor old traditions. Past traditions are lovingly engrained in our memories (Thank you, Huhman family!)… being welcomed with open arms into existing traditions is heartwarming and…
1. Super cool thing that happened to me this week… People are often surprised to know that I see lots of babies and kids in my practice. This week, I was blessed to get to check 5-day-old Francesca. As she lied across her father’s lap, it hit me that I had been taking care of…
1. Story worth sharing again… I posted this story on here a few years ago, but it’s worth reposting. The story of the Golden Buddha pretty much sums up my philosophy on health, wellness, human potential, and the fact that you are an AMAZING human being. Here it is… 2. An old study I’ve been…
1. A remarkable human being… I had heard about this guy years ago, but came across his story again this week. His name is Steven Wiltshire, he is autistic, and he has an incredible ability to draw city landscapes and skylines. What makes it so amazing? He does it from memory, after just a 30-45…
1. Message I heard this week that I loved… and have shared with friends, patients, and our kids… Ed Mylett has a podcast each week with interviews of significant people. He also posts motivational and personal growth messages each week that are usually less than 20 minutes. This one is only 12 minutes, and it…
1. A bill approved in California worth noting… California becomes the first U.S. state to ban the use of four chemical food additives (brominated vegetable oil, potassium bromate, propylparaben, and red dye No. 3) due to potential health issues connected to these chemicals. These are commonly found in candies and soda, and this ban will affect…
1. Snack I love… I am constantly on the lookout for sweet and tasty (and healthy) snacks. We found these freeze-dried fruit snacks… Crispy Fruit (from the company Crispy Green)…and love them! There are no other ingredients in them other than the fruit itself. We’ve tried all of them, and they are ALL great. My…
1. Movies I like… I like movies that are based on true stories. And I really like movies based on true stories about real people that have done something extraordinary. Sure, they make you feel good… and are inspirational… but I love that they expand our minds on what is possible, break down limiting beliefs…
