The 3rd certainty in life
Benjamin Franklin once said, "In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes." I'll add a third certainty onto that: There is NO "magic pill" that fixes everything for you. I say this because over the last 10 days or so I’ve been inundated with questions about what I call “magic pills”--weight loss gimmicks, wrinkle-erase face creams, belly fat burning pills, super muscle building formulas, you-name-it. You can tell...
Another great reason to give up fast food
I live in Upstate NY, but I believe it’s safe to say that there is no shortage of long lines wrapped around the drive-thru windows of fast food restaurants anywhere in the world. Fair statement? I don’t care what time of day it is—every time I drive by McDonalds, Wendy’s or Burger King, there is a sea of cars waiting in line for their paper-wrapped offerings. It makes me a bit crazy when I see...
Forget those weight loss resolutions—do this instead
2021 is upon us and I would like to wish you a very Happy New Year! Once the clock reached midnight and you bid adieu to 2020, you know what follows… New Year’s Resolutions!

Unfortunately, many people are doomed before they start because they have an instant gratification mindset. Sure, they want to drop a few sizes. But if it all doesn’t happen by January 15th, their motivation goes out the...
You are being carefully manipulated—here’s how
I rarely watch TV and if I do, it’s typically a Green Bay Packers football game or a movie DVD. But recently, I decided to conduct a little experiment and watch a mainstream morning news program, concentrating on the commercials. All I can say is that I was downright nauseated at the level of manipulation that was taking place before my eyes. In the short span of 45 minutes that I watched this program, I saw 10 drug commercials. Ten! That an average of one every 4.5 minutes. Although it disgusted me, I was...
8 Causes (and solutions!) for your digestive misery
I recently read an article which reported that nearly 8 out of 10 of Americans suffer from digestive misery at least occasionally, and about 25 percent of us suffer from some form of GI distress on a regular basis! So, in other words, you’re basically a weirdo if you don’t have gut problems! Am I the only one who’s wondering what’s going on?! Why in the name of heaven are most of us gassy and bloated, belching...
Merry Christmas and an exciting announcement
I know you’re probably very busy doing last minute holiday stuff (I write this, I have a batch of cookies in the oven myself!), but I just wanted to thank you for reading my words and trusting my products and advice to help you reach your health goals. Christmas is centered on celebrating the birth of Jesus, but I also think of the Christmas season as a time where we are reminded about what’s truly...
