Second Opinions

Are doctors gods? Obviously not! My grandparents were among those who took what doctors said as gospel. Those days are long gone. The faith and trust in the main stream medical establishment is eroding rapidly. With the difficulty and time that it takes to see a doctor, the outrageous cost of medicine and medical procedures,…

Use A Checklist

Do you believe you know enough about health and wellness to make a significant impact on your weight, energy level, performance, and overall level of wellness? You definitely do. You may not know everything you need to know, but surely know enough to do better than you currently are. There are certainly things that you…

Health Without Science

We have learned so much about sickness and disease. We not only know how each organ, tissue, and cell functions, but we know how all it works together. We understand how food gets broken down into proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, how they all get absorbed into the bloodstream, and how the body utilizes those nutrients…

Five Wellness Myths

We are the most confused species on the planet when it comes to health and wellness. Part of the problem is that we get one PhD saying one thing and another PhD saying the exact opposite. Both present compelling arguments and data to support their position, but the average person is left bewildered and frustrated.…

The Gap and Extrapolating

Most people, when stepping back and really looking at their life, are at least a little bit disappointed. You don’t feel that disappointment day to day because we are wired to make things seem better than they actually are. Like tuning out a loud, continuous beeping noise, your brain works very hard to limit continuous…

Just Say Less

Most of us are very familiar with the Just Say No campaign started in the early 1980s in an effort to discourage children from using illegal drugs. It would be hard to quantify if this advertising campaign was successful, and it drew a lot of criticism for various reasons. Just saying no is a must…

Less “Buts”

What’s your goal? Our goals can be broken down into many categories. No matter what your goals, whether they be personal, financial, with your relationships, spiritual, or in business, I believe you will be much more successful if you aim to eliminate any “buts.” What do I mean? I suggest that as you strive for…

Earning Sickness

The leading causes of death in 1900 were pneumonia, influenza, and tuberculosis. These were infectious diseases, meaning you got sick by coming into contact with a pathogen. If another person was sick, and that person coughed or sneezed on you, that infection could pass to you and make you sick. You “caught” the flu. These…

The Breakthrough Myth

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…
