Obesity, Cholesterol, High Blood Pressure and Blood Sugar. The bane of modern living, today we no longer "live long and drop dead" like our ancient ancestors. Instead we have accepted a long, slow decline into poor health. But Spring!? I know Spring seems about as far away as can be, after you've read my *latest article* you'll see there's no better time to reclaim your health this second wave. Let's work backwards to understand how we got here. Obesity to this degree didn...’t exist mere century go. So again what is the most obvious variable? Hyper-refined foods. So eating nutrient dense, low calorie foods and as much of them as we can to convince our body that we are not in fatten-up starvation mode. In addition, by eating based on balancing our constitution and TCM pattern (diagnosis) we attain states of health essentially unknown in our modern fragmented world.

Uh oh. But I like my home so cozy and warm! At least I do the cold showers part. The title is a little click-baity but otherwise an interesting piece on the difference between white fat and brown fat. ... What are your thoughts?

What a heartfelt account of a rarely discussed topic that I totally can relate to, having struggled with the opposite issue of this article - being underweight. "90% of men have body image issues, and yet we don’t really talk about it. We don’t allow ourselves the honesty and vulnerability to discuss our insecurities. And it’s when we’re most unsure of ourselves, most emotionally taxed, that we have to be able to seek the help we need." To the self identified males out there - let's keep the conversation going. What's your experience? What helps?

As many of my friends know - I'm quite optimistic about 2021 - and especially the decade ahead. I pay close attention to many news angles, and seeing things like this on LinkedIn really reinforce that change really is happening, beginning with individual reflections on compassion, service, and above all - humanity. What are your thoughts? Are you optimistic? Are you seeing changes in your own workplace - even if remote?

Sooo... Here's a growing list of "wellness" figures who have gone off the deep end into irrational, and above all easily debunked conspiracy. This may already be well known, I may be totally out of the loop here (especially since I've been on a social media pause for a while now) but sweet holy hell - this just makes me want to squeal with delight that this exists. And some of these hit close to home, I was familiar with Grace Van Berkum as she was originally from Toronto, an...d used to loosely follow Kelly Brogan before COVID-19 began - and then slid her off the deep end. And it's what I've been warning about with colleagues in my own circles. Others like David Wilcock have been essentially saying "the great awakening is just around the corner" once a week, with every world event, for decades / My work is to distance myself from these kooks as far as I possibly can. Always remember, with any research, if you are you know, truly after the truth and not "THE TRUTH", its as easy as looking deeply into what the opposite side of the argument has to say - which can be as simple as typing in the word "debunk".
