Have you ever wondered what being an Insider is like? One of the benefits is our monthly conference call, and I’m giving everyone an opportunity to participate for a small fee. You’ll be able to participate two ways: you’ll be able to listen to my presentation on the nutrition topic I’ll be talking about, plus […]
Over the weekend, I was listening to a podcast about the Paleolithic diet. Daniel Lieberman, the expert being interviewed, has focused his research on the Paleolithic era. I found it quite interesting based on the number of gurus and influencers that continue to say that era was the diet we should mimic for optimal health. […]
Here are a few observations and comments about exercising on the wild side. What we think about structure and uniformity to our schedule is important; having a schedule and sticking to it relieves you of the need to decide what you’re going to do every day. But some of the time, we just have to […]
Today from coast to coast, there are primary elections being held—five today, including Michigan, and about a dozen more the rest of the month. It’s not just the U.S.—it looks like Iceland, Kosovo, U.K., and Zambia have elections this month, and there may be more I’ve missed. I’m a Michigan election inspector and will be […]

I know—it’s not what you’d expect from guy committed to a career in making people fitter and healthier, but she was and is irresistible. Since we met, I’ve been on the lookout for fun ways to exercise, especially since HIIT (high-intensity interval […]
Before I get into this study on high-intensity interval training or HIIT, I want to be sure you understand that unless you’re under 30 and very fit, you need guidance and advice from your physician before you attempt a HIIT program, especially if you have cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or are on medications for these conditions.
