Everybody just wants to be happy. With all the advances we’ve seen in the past one hundred years, you would think we would be the happiest bunch of people in history. But we’re not! So why aren’t we? Hearing about a recent suicide really got me thinking about our difficult search for happiness. We should…
My view on health and healing is quite different from the traditional, modern approach that has become so widely accepted. In medicine, if something is low, doctors look to add something to the body to raise it. If something is high, they look to add something to lower it. If a body part is not…
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…

One thing we, as humans, like to do is complain. And because we do it A LOT, we do it very well. We complain that it’s too cold… then complain that it’s too hot. We complain when it rains… then complain when it’s too dry. We complain about the clothes we have, about our jobs,…
