Let’s face it: losing your mind is a fate far worse than death. This week, a good friend from high school died of Alzheimer’s disease at just 67 years old. Unfortunately, no meds can appreciably change that process once diagnosed. And it’s doubtful there ever will be. (Some other time, I’ll address why I’m 99.99% positive about that opinion.) My…

It happens almost every day. Someone sees me doing something they perceive as ‘difficult’ regarding diet or exercise. They say something like, “I just don’t have the willpower to do that.” Heres’ the truth. . . I too, have little willpower.
