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 […]
The beginning of a new year! Even though calendars are man-made, the new year signals a time for new goals to be accomplished in the next 365 days. I’m sure that health goals are included in those goals. Getting fitter, getting leaner, adding muscle, improving balance and flexibility, and addressing digestive issues, but that’s not […]
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 […]

It’s a long process because one thing often leads to another in a different direction. Here are some of the things I’ve discovered. Nutrigenomics Nutrigenomics is the study of how foods interact with genes […]
Among the nutrients that I use every day and recommend to everyone over 50 to delay muscle loss are essential amino acids (EAA), the amino acids that we can’t make ourselves. These are highest in the AAs that are used in muscle growth and repair: leucine, isoleucine, and valine. While the science shows that EAAs […]
Whatever your age, whatever your health status, whatever your attempts and misses this year, take a moment and thank yourself by doing something nice for you.
