3 Amazingly simple steps to better health
I once consulted with a 45-year-old woman who was overweight, stressed out, always tired, hadn’t exercised in years and had an atrocious diet. And she said something that no other client had ever said to me. She said, “I know what I need to do, but I just look at myself and say, ‘Why bother?’” If this even remotely sounds like you, then read on and see what I explained to this woman. It’s...
            
          
           What your sweat says about you!
I recently passed a mixed martial arts (MMA) test for advanced green belt (the next level is brown belt!) and to say I was sweaty afterwards is a huge understatement. I was telling all of my fellow MMA students after the test how my nickname in my prior 19 years of karate used to be “Sweaty Betty” and they got a big kick out of that!

           Your best defense against flu, COVID, RSV and all viruses

Because not only are they pushing flu shots, but also COVID jabs and RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) shots too.

           4 questions everyone should be asking
Today’s blog is a bit different from what you typically read from me. My preferred blog approach is to enlighten you on a health issue (or two or three!) and provide effective, safe and natural strategies to help overcome your challenge and/or generally improve your health. But I threw that out the window for today. Instead I would like to talk about four important questions that everyone should be asking. These questions affect literally...
