We’ve all been there—an occasional night when you just can’t get to sleep. Judging from the questions I get, a whole lot of you are worried about getting enough sleep. I’m not talking about chronic sleep issues, which may require working with physicians and sleep specialists (as Paula has done). I’m talking about people who […]
When last we left our subject, he had a stent inserted while having a heart attack and was sent to cardiac rehab. He was on six medications (the very definition of polypharmacy) for congestive heart failure, A-fib, and hypertension. He decided that he wanted to get off all the medications he could because they contributed […]
Polypharmacy is defined as the use of multiple or unnecessary medications. One of the questions I often get goes something like “How do I get off all these medications my doctor has me on?” Another related question is “I don’t want to take medications—I want to do things the natural way.” These are valid goals, […]
I’m kicking off the New Year with a webinar about children, Kids’ Top Health Issues. Specifically, I’ll cover the top three questions that I get all the time about kids: digestive issues, especially constipation; attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; and autism. If you have children who face these issues or even if, like a teacher or […]
I hope you had a happy holiday season and a great start to the New Year. I’ve got plenty of great things planned for 2025 designed to help you get and stay healthy, and I’m going to start by reinforcing the Memo I sent a week ago in a slightly different way. About 60 years […]

Paula, Riley, and I visited Meijer Gardens to see all the beautiful Christmas trees from around the world, but this giant poinsettia tree made the biggest impression. We all hope you have a wonderful holiday season!
Did you assess your time spent investing in your health as I outlined in Tuesday’s Memo, counting up the time per day, week, or month you spend in the activities that will benefit your long-term health? How did you do? Did you think of more than the short list I provided? Did you come away […]
As the new year approaches, it’s a good time for reflection. Regardless of your age, taking care of your body should always be a top priority, so let’s assess 2024. Here’s a series of questions—not a complete list by any means, just a place to begin. The overall question is this: How much time do […]
The first social media claim about cooking with beef tallow was easy to assess, but the use of beef tallow for skincare was something I’d never considered until I was asked about it several times. I used a scientific AI site and asked if beef tallow was beneficial for the skin. The answer was yes, […]
