A few weeks ago I received a message on Facebook from an old friend. He co-hosts a weekly radio show / podcast and he wanted to know if I would be a guest on his show. He was putting together a show to encourage men to start exercising. I jumped at the chance as I’m […]

Why You Should Stop Using R.I.C.E. To Heal An Injury
I can’t remember the first time that I heard the acronym R.I.C.E. I’m sure it was at some point during elementary school when I suffered an injury. The prescription was simple. The ‘R’ stood for Rest, the ‘I’ for Ice, the ‘C’ for Compression and the ‘E’ for Elevate. I can tell you that my […]
Water Fast 2.0
As humans, we’ve always heard, ‘You have to eat. You have to eat.’ The average person thinks that in order to stay alive, the body needs to have food not only every day, but every few hours. But in fact, that’s not true. If you think about it, throughout history, there have been lots of […]
The 5 Worst Things You Can Eat or Drink
I was going to put the word “food” in the title for this post, but I quickly realized that the items I’m going to list are not actually food. They are all things that you can eat that are made in a factory or chemistry laboratory. While I’m not going to say that you should […]
How Dehydration Can Make You Fat and Sick
There is lots of conflicting information out there about how much water we need to drink each day. While I don’t actually keep track, I would guess that I drink somewhere between 90 and 100 ounces of water a day. I have a 24-ounce bottle that I drink from while at work and I probably […]

Blood Lab Results
Every once in a while I’ll voluntarily go and have my blood drawn for no other reason than to just check things out and give myself the piece of mind that everything is ok. While I go to great efforts to be as healthy as possible, all of the strict eating and exercise is no […]
The Holistic Hundred Challenge Results
Way back on August 16th, I started a 100 day journey that ends today (November 23rd). The Challenge had two parts. The first part consists of not eating any sugars or grains. The second part consists of doing 100 body-weight exercises each day. I’ve done 30 day challenges before, but I knew doing anything for […]
10 Rules of Health to Live By
Last night I had the privilege of sharing my “10 Rules of Health to Live By” with the Louisville Landsharks, our local multisport club. There was a wonderful turnout and the staff at HopCat did a great job of helping me get set up and keeping everyone’s glass full and the food moving! As I […]
No Sugar November – 2016 Edition
On November 1st, I will be through 77 days of my Holistic Hundred Challenge. The goal was to go 100 days with no sugar, no grains and doing 100 body-weight exercises each day. As I type this post, I’m still on track for my goal. I’m very proud of everyone that has joined me on […]
