I remember shaving one day. I was standing in front of the bathroom mirror when I suddenly noticed my very first wrinkle. I was 55 years old.
It started on the left side of my nose and snaked down around my mouth. There it was — just staring at me. The whole thing had just folded in right before my eyes.
That’s the very same day I started paying more attention to things I could do to look and feel younger. Continue reading

Energy… strength… stamina… vitality… enthusiasm…
These are all words you probably associate with youthfulness. And if they still describe you, that’s great! You’re doing something right.
But if words like weariness, weakness, disinterested and exhausted may seem more fitting… Then your body’s energy factories might be aging faster than they should.
You see, about 90% of the energy needed by your body comes from tiny little power plants in your cells called mitochondria. They’re what fuel every cell in your body with energy. Continue reading

Have you ever been surprised by a friend who orders a double espresso after an evening meal?
Maybe you remarked, “Wow, isn’t that going to keep you awake?”
But your friend just shrugs his shoulders. “It doesn’t affect me,” he says. “I can go right to sleep.”
As it turns out, some people really aren’t affected strongly by caffeine. These folks are called “fast metabolizers” and — for them — coffee can actually work like a medicine in their bodies.
But for other folks – those slow metabolizers – coffee is like a poison. Continue reading

I tried to call my phone company the other day.
Yup… you guessed it. Rather than reaching a real person, I wasted a bunch of time trying to press the right number to make the phone robot happy. I found myself begging to talk to a real person….well, actually I was pressing zero multiple times to get to an operator…didn’t work.
Sadly, stressors like this are common these days.
And it seems to be taking its toll on society. When I look at my own practice, I have many more stressed out patients looking for help than I did 20, 10, or even 5 years ago. Continue reading

Over the past several weeks I’ve noticed more and more of my patients have succumbed to holiday fatigue.
Their nerves are frazzled. They’re stressed out, run-down and ready to hibernate for the next month or two.
If you feel the same, you can blame it on the relentless pressure you’ve been under for the past four to six weeks – perhaps even longer.
You know the deal. Continue reading

The concept of exercise is pretty simple. Get your body moving.
But these days, there are so many different theories behind physical activity that it can actually be pretty confusing.
Is walking 10,000 steps a day enough? Is it better to jog around the neighborhood or pound the treadmill for 30 to 60 minutes? What about lifting weights at the gym? Continue reading

When you think about your “body clock”, it’s likely that the only thing you associate it with is your sleep schedule. But what if I told that your “clock” is running in every cell of your body, every single day minute of the day?
It’s true. In fact, three scientists who contributed to this discovery recently received the Nobel Prize for it. And it’s well deserved.
It turns out that our circadian rhythm is critical to much more than our sleeping habits. Any mismatch between our lifestyle and our internal clock can affect any number of biological processes.
In the short-term you might find yourself feeling fuzzy, forgetful and out of sorts. You might even feel hungrier than usual… craving sweets and carbs.
But in the long-term? Continue reading

Does fatigue automatically come with age? Is it natural to find yourself spending more time drowsing around on the couch, watching TV and napping as you grow older?
These are questions that I hear from patients on a regular basis. Many of them are quite healthy and have no underlying conditions that contribute to feelings of exhaustion.
Yet here they are… slogging through their days at a snail’s pace… afraid that if they use any extra energy they’ll feel even more run down.
Sound familiar? Continue reading

When a new patient walks into my office, one of the first things I do is sit down with them to review which medications they currently take.
Some are taking statins and blood pressure meds to protect their hearts. Others are taking drugs to lower blood sugar and improve insulin sensitivity. Then there are the prescriptions for pain, depression, anxiety and countless other conditions.
Well, what if I told you that I have one, single prescription that works to improve every single one of these ailments?
It’s completely free. You don’t have to pay a penny for it.
It starts working immediately. And the longer you follow the prescription, the more dramatic the effects.
It works better than any drug on the market to not only preserve your health, but improve it dramatically.

This weekend we’ll be ringing in another New Year. And I can’t think of a better way to approach 2017 than to make it the year you decide to start holding back the hands of time.
That’s right. It’s time to slow down the aging process and start aging the healthiest way you can.
You see, there are two kinds of aging. Your chronological age is how old you are in terms of years. Your biological age is how old you are in terms of health, fitness and looks. Continue reading
