Got back pain? Here’s how to feel better now!
September is National Pain Awareness Month, and I can’t help but shake my head at that title… because anyone that suffers from chronic or even occasional pain is certainly very well aware of it. And by far one of the most common and widespread types of pain is BACK PAIN! It seems we all have back pain at one time or another and that includes yours truly. Even though I do martial arts and...
Men: It’s time to talk about this taboo subject
Although it is relatively common as men age, one subject that continues to be a bit taboo among most men is prostate problems. But not talking about the problems won’t make them go away and only increases a man’s risk of serious disease or even death.

And if your blood tests show you’re in the elevated range, welcome to the world of statins. But how did we...
5 Diet Misconceptions... Have you been fooled?
I’m going to start today’s blog by giving you some rather unsettling statistics. Currently in the US: Seven out of ten adults have at least one chronic condition, and shockingly, so do 54 percent of our children. Three out of four of us are overweight or obese. Eight out of ten of us are medicated, and over half of us take two or more medications each day. What in the world is going ON? Well,...
Heart attack—know the symptoms and what to do
People often ask me where I get my motivation to always eat healthy and work out consistently. Easy. Motivation is derived from wanting to achieve something positive and/or avoid something painful. In my case, I have looming over me a family history of heart disease. My dad had his first heart attack at the tender age of 35! Then his second heart attack killed him at age 58. So there’s my motivation! And I’ve spent...
