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…
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.…
If you attempt something and fail, are you a failure? If you attempt something several times or even hundreds of times, and fail, are you a failure? You might say yes to both. Many might say yes to both. We tend to define ourselves as failures quite quickly when we don’t get the result or…
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…
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…

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…
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…
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…
If you’re old enough, the words cola wars surely ring a bell. For those that don’t know what that is, Coke and Pepsi battled it out to be the number-one cola. From what I understand, 7-Up never stood a chance to even be in the fight. Instead of being at the bottom of that pack,…
We all want to avoid getting sick or injured. Nobody likes being down and out with a cold or flu, or laid up with a sprained joint or broken bone. Unfortunately, no matter how hard you try, you will occasionally get sick, and no matter how careful you are, you will have injuries. You could…
