10 Ways to avoid an early death
I think it’s safe to say that none of us wants to be pushing up daisies anytime soon! Now there are numerous factors that play into our disease and mortality rates and have an impact on how soon you will get a visit from the grim reaper. Although some (such as genetics or congenital diseases) are largely out of our control, there are other factors that you CAN do something about—and likely live much longer...

Type 2 diabetes—what you need to know
November is Diabetes Awareness Month, and while I think we’re all pretty aware of what diabetes is, what you need to know is that it’s spiraling out of control in the US (and many other countries).

Most people wish for this—do you?
I speak at a lot of events and always have people approach me afterward to discuss their health concerns. Although the health issues can run the gamut (believe me when I tell you!), far and away the number one goal for people is weight loss. I’m not surprised.

But based upon what I observed, it looked like lots of people didn’t get the memo. Now, don’t get me wrong—I’m not a party pooper.
