My philosophy of getting to a normal weight and staying there is to find out what works best for you by trial and error. When you find something that works, stick with it. This week, I’m going to relay the conversations I had with two people within 24 hours and how they approached weight reduction. […]
For everyone who has purchased Protecting Your Brain, the first update will be on the way soon. As I stated in the webinar, when there is something important related to your brain I’ll send up an update, and a recent study is worth a follow up: researchers demonstrated that the microbiome in your mouth is […]
If there’s one thing we all would like, it would be to retain as many of our memories as we can as well as all of the things we’ve learned over our lifetime. We’d also like the ability to learn new things, like how to make a doll house for our granddaughter or how to […]
I recently learned a fascinating new word: scienceploitation. As it has been defined in various journals and articles by scientists and lawyers, scienceploitation uses new ideas and research to develop products that will “solve” whatever issue you have; examples are stem cells, microbiome, and lately mitochondrial dysfunction.

In the next few Memos, we’re going to talk about several studies out of the mainstream. Today we’re starting with adding carbonation to water.

After last week’s memos on short sleepers, I got a couple of questions about other types of sleep. Let’s take a look. One person asked if sleeping over 10 or 12 hours per night is problematic. The answer is that it could indicate a problem if done on a consistent basis. Sleep apnea can contribute […]
The most difficult part of adult learning is choosing to learn. That’s the closing line from a recent Seth Godin blog. If you want to read it in its entirety, click the link below. Reading it double-tapped the nail on the head for me. There are definitely some courses and areas of study I would […]
Before we get back to sleep (today’s topic), a reminder: don’t forget to sign up for the Kids’ Top Health Issues webinar tomorrow afternoon!
