Frank in a Contest and More on Muscle Damage by Statins
I'm putting together a lecture series for Synergy Performance Health & Fitness on the general topic of Senior Fitness. During this process, it occurred to me that I need to strongly demonstrate that what I teach in fact works to make me healthier and more fit....
The Case for Losing Faith in Cholesterol Drugs
I'm one of those who got blindsided by coronary artery disease. Not a hint that the process was going on until I started feeling a strange tightness in what I thought was my trachea when I walked uphill. The crazy thing was I never felt it during my workouts I could...
Gardening – Recreation, Meditation, Exercise
We have raised two wonderful children (well, more like my wife did most of that) with whom I am well pleased. Michael (Son-boy, as I have lovingly called him since that first season of the Waltons), is in the digital animation business, and he and his wife both work...

In our Thinking and Attitude Category we created a sub-category for Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), a technique for rapid mental change that is easy to apply and very successful with just about everything someone might like to change about themselves. I was...
Brain Health – Mental Health: a new Category added to the site
This week we added a new Category to the site: Brain Health - Mental Health. I started a writeup on the topic, and haven't made enough progress to brag about, but more will come. The goal is to layout those factors which should be avoided or corrected in our diet,...
Critcal Thinking and Risk Taking
Much of what we see in newspapers, magazines and on TV regarding the sciences of nutrition, medicine and health is misleading or outright wrong. The amount of bad science foisted on the public is truly amazing. Sometimes it is the science itself that is badly done or...
