Studies show regular exercise is one of the best ways to help you live a longer and healthier life. And it’s never too late to start.
It’s the first week of January. The new year. I’m wondering, how are you doing? I mean how are you REALLY doing? Are you taking the steps that mean your health will be better next year than it is today? Unfortunately, in this country, people often wait till a crisis happens to change. Crises that are often indicated ahead of…
I find it grim. The average American gains 8 lbs. Over the holidays! That’s a full dress size! But worse are the health effects: the cholesterol gunking up your arteries and more. But I’m going to skip all the grim reaper crap (the details about what it’s doing to your body) cuz you already know it. And get to the…
Long term wellness goals: Bigger than how you’ll look at the reunion. What do you love that you want to STILL be able to do. . . at age 80?!
I’m preparing to move back into routine life after nearly 8 weeks of bicycle touring. I’ve ridden 1172 miles with over 44,000 feet of climbing; most of it within the first 6 weeks. (I spent most of the final 2 weeks with my kids)I’m aware that most people I know are a little awed by that; especially at my age.…

Sometimes the struggle is real.And you just have to allow it to be so. Then comes the question: How do you allow the struggle to be real, accept it but not go down the tunnel and become anxious or depressed about the things you can’t control? It’s all about choosing your thoughts which, by its very nature, is a lesson…
I’ve always been an advocate for meeting people where they are and helping them move forward in a simple way. If you have 40 (or especially if you have 100 pounds to lose), you certainly don’t want a healthy weight coach telling you to eat carrots and go for a 6-mile run! If you’re taking meds for a condition and…
“What supplements do you take?” is probably one of the most common questions I hear. So as we move quickly towards a new year and a time when people look at setting new health goals, I thought I’d address that. First, I truly believe we SHOULD be able to get all the nutrients we need from food. After all, that’s…
