Beware! This is even more dangerous than sugar!

Beware! This is even more dangerous than sugar!

  Important announcement at the end, please read through. I would suspect that you probably remember me talking countless times in the past about the dangers of sugar, especially “sugar” in the toxic form of high fructose corn syrup. Sugar is a driving force behind a plethora of diseases and conditions including diabetes, insulin resistance, cancer, heart disease, obesity, dementia, immune dysfunction and chronic inflammation, to name a few.

A sneaky factor behind our obesity explosion

A sneaky factor behind our obesity explosion

  Here’s an eye-opening statistic--currently, nearly eight out of 10 Americans are overweight or obese. And those numbers are not going down.

Do you get enough of these longevity nutrients?

Do you get enough of these longevity nutrients?

  Today is my birthday and while the thought of turning 62 can be a bit unsettling, I am thankful for all of my incredible blessings—my family, my cats, my God, the martial arts, and of course, great health! I love being able to say that I’m in my 60s, take no medications, easily maintain my weight, have boatloads of energy and can still run and do full-contact sparring…and I have no intention of stopping...

How to make working from home, work for YOU

How to make working from home, work for YOU

  Since the emergence of COVID and the resulting lockdowns and closures, more people than ever before have begun working from home. In fact, by the end of 2020, 71 percent of Americans who could do their jobs remotely were working from their homes.  But COVID was not the sole reason behind this shift.
