The 20-Second Rule

Having more information on how to live a healthier life is always good. That is why I read so much, study so hard, and ask so many questions. However, information without action results in nothing changing. I believe we know enough to make better choices and act in ways that would lead to better health.…

Try Something Old

I was on a boat the other day when I received a text. I was being asked a question that required me to jump online and check an email. I was able to get the answer, take a snapshot of it, and send the answer back to the person via text. I could do all…

Create More Value

While pulling in to a large shopping plaza two weekends ago, I saw a fairly young, fit man standing on the corner, holding a sign, asking for money. The sign indicated that he had lost his job and needed money to pay his house payment and to support his family. While I am sympathetic to…

“I’m Offended!”

I have heard numerous stories lately from friends and patients in which they inadvertently offended another person. And of course, you can’t read or listen to the news without hearing about someone expressing serious disgust because of how they were treated by another person. It should go without saying that we have a moral obligation…

Keep Things Good!

Want to be more successful? Want to have a better life? Who doesn’t? Fortunately, for those who are interested, there are millions of resources available. Books, audio programs, seminars, and the internet can provide an endless amount of content on “how to be successful.” Experts (and a whole lot of so-called experts) share, and have…

Says Who?

Ask a high school student what their plans are after they graduate, and many will likely tell you that they will go to college, get a job, start a family, and someday, probably around sixty-five years old, will retire. The reason they say this is because this is what they know. This is what most…

It’s All Relative

Humans are very relative creatures. In Northeast Ohio, if the temperature gets up to 50 degrees in winter, people lose the jackets and put on shorts. In the hotter summers, if the temperature drops to the low 70’s, you’ll see people bundling up in jackets. Why shorts at 50 degrees one day, and jackets at…

What Are You Waiting For?

If there is one thing humans are great at, it’s procrastination. We consistently put off to tomorrow what we should be doing today. I don’t believe it’s because we are lazy. I believe our minds work in a way that we justify not doing things until they really, really need to be done. Obviously, some…

The Ship Is Sinking…

Businesses, organizations, sports franchises, and even civilizations that are successful and dominant seem to run their course. Even the biggest and most powerful dynasties eventually fall. The next big collapse, which is underway right now, is our current healthcare system. The past 100 years have been loaded with medical breakthroughs, technological advances, new drug therapies,…

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…
