My goal is to help as many people as I possibly can take control of their health and well-being.

I'll wait until tomorrow to tell y'all that if you can go a day without buying some bullsh!t, you can go a day without eating some bullsh!t.

Those of you who waited all holiday season for January 1 to start your new diet and workout plan, you might as well wait until July of next year. If it was that important, you would have started it the moment you realized you had the power to make a change.

If you're going to eat & drink yourself into a coma for the next 3 days before you start your 2025 magical diet, save yourself the disappointment and just say fuck the diet altogether. You're not ready to change yourself.

According to both the American Heart and American Stroke Associations, up to 90% of Strokes are preventable through lifestyle. Which means that up to 90% are caused through lifestyle. So, instead of sending people prayers, send them a meal plan and a personal trainer.

I play pickleball with a 30 pound weighted vest on. Everybody there says that is too extreme and too risky. But no one would say anything if I weighed 30 extra pounds instead of wore it.

After watching football games yesterday I thought about how much better off we would be if we demanded the same scrutiny and review over the ingredients of the foods we eat as we do for the replays of penalties against the teams we support.

Maybe the secret to happiness is to pretend you're happy until you forget that you're pretending.

How does moderation work with mental health? Is there a cheat day where you hang around toxic people to balance out the positive vibes you've had all week? Maybe just choose Monday to not abuse substances? We seem to think this this works for physical health, so I'm curious.

I overheard a conversation in the grocery store where someone said "yeah we have to do something about these ridiculous food prices" while purchasing 4 packs of Pall Malls for $32.00. I guess the $.50 extra for cheese is messing with the cigarette budget.

A real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken a new action. If there's no action, you haven't truly decided.

Awareness of your bad habits or bad health is useless if you don't take the actions to correct them.

Folks claim to be the defenders of capitalism and talk that "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" and "survival of the fittest" until election time. Then it becomes a plea to vote for a president to step in and implement policies to manage the cost of cheese and chicken wings.

Republicans & Democrats: Vote for my person and vote for freedom. Only we value freedom and democracy.

Also Republicans & Democrats: If you want to vote for the other person, you're stupid and shouldn't even be allowed to vote.

A study comparing the differences in cancer rates among US adults born between 1920 and 1990 showed that 17 of 34 cancers had an INCREASING incidence in younger birth cohorts, including nine that previously had DECLINING incidence in older birth cohorts.

It seems as if Democrats AND Republicans define free speech to mean "you're free to speak as long as you agree with me. Otherwise, you're free to leave."

Up to 75% of the glucose load your body needs to process goes into your muscle as fuel because they require the most energy. As you lose lean muscle (through age AND/OR inactivity), glucose ends up being stored as fat instead of being used as fuel.

If you're investing 4% of each paycheck into a retirement plan, invest 4% (1 hour) of each day into a workout so you'll be alive to spend it.

We care so much about our health that we plan get togethers at the bar/grill after a wellness walk.

We like getting public credit for trying, but don't want to take personal responsibility for failing.

Age doesn't determine your health. Your habits do.

How you look and feel at 50 is the result of how you chose to live between ages 30-49.

My fraternity brothers and I were reminded this morning by a concerned Springfield citizen as they drove past and shouted at us on the tee box from their truck: "Hey, Niggers don't play golf!"
