As we head toward the “spring forward” daylight savings, I am reminded how these rules are based on total lack of how our circadian biology actually works. I believe the solution is in educating our lawmakers.
After all most of them look like their health could use a boost too!

My heart goes out to Bruce Willis and his family, & also my gratitude for shining a much needed light on this disease. When people step forward it helps all of us. When people get a diagnosis it’s extremely difficult, but also for most a relief to get a diagnosis.

Humans killed by sharks every year: 6-10
Sharks killed by humans every year: 100+ million

Most people think the first number is much higher, and don't think about the second number at all.

Facts like these make me wonder how many blindspots we have about the truth of the world.

One reason people don’t start exercising is because they think they have to beat themselves up and spend hours in the gym to get results.

That’s not true!

Even just once or twice a week in the gym for 20-30 minutes at a time is a great place to start plus walking more.
