You probably don’t need an introduction, but you’re getting one anyway. We, as a species, have never been unhealthier than we are today. Which is ironic, considering that we have better access to high-tech healthcare than ever before. We’ve never known more about the human body, metabolism, and illness. And, since a decade or so, […]
Many of us put off taking pleasure in our everyday lives to some time in the future. We’ll work super duper hard … and maybe by next vacation, maybe when the kids move out, maybe when I retire, we can do those pleasurable things that we love. But not before all of the work is done, good […]
While other people were managing their pandemic stress by baking sourdough and tie-dyeing their entire wardrobes, I was browsing the internet for stuff I didn’t need — candles, throw pillows, pajama sets, anything that could make the time in lockdown feel more like a cozy choice than a life-or-death necessity. At least once a week, a new […]
When I hear people complain about their weight, I can sympathize. I mean, I’m still not a thin guy in 2019. I tip the scales at around 230 pounds, and there is no way I can call myself skinny, even at 6 feet tall. But I used to be much worse off. In January of […]
People define success in a lot of different ways. Some think it’s a certain amount of money. Others define it as a way of living, a level of freedom.

If you were to make a movie about podcasting, it would probably be one of those inspirational, feel-good, overcoming-the-odds kind of films. You know the one: a teacher (or coach, or show choir director — it doesn’t matter, it’s all the same story) takes a group of plucky but downtrodden underdogs and helps them see […]
How often have you started a new habit that you already quit after several days? If you’re like me in the past, the answer is something like, “all the time.” Forming a new habit is hard. I don’t have to tell you that. We all know how difficult it is to live a prosperous and […]
These are three common statements regarding the disproportional impact of nutrition on body composition that are bandied around so frequently many people accept them as fact. While they make great sound bites and appear logical under brief examination, what do any of them look like when applied to your lifestyle? What changes do you make […]
Anexperimental Covid-19 vaccine developed by researchers at the University of Oxford in the U.K. triggered an immune response in healthy adults and appears to have no dangerous side effects, according to research published Monday in the scientific journal The Lancet. The study included 1,077 healthy people aged 18 to 55, about half of whom received the experimental Covid-19 […]
I am going out of town with my family tomorrow. I have a lot to get done before we step on the plane. I woke up with my mind spinning on repeat: work, write, errands, kids, meals, cleaning, dog. All the things I want or need to do today. Over and over. I knew I […]
