I am almost 51 years old and am in great health. As of this writing, I had completed the Los Angeles Triathlon 9 days ago. Next week, I will be running my 96th marathon in Long Beach, California. I recently had a physical and my HDL was 109 (do you believe that)! I am fortunate in that over the years I have educated myself about nutrition, dietary supplements and the benefits of exercise. I have been privileged to know so many brilliant people who have taught me so much about health and wellness.  No doubt that I am one of the fortunate ones to have been exposed to all of this. However, it … [Read more...]

If you are one of those loyal and dedicated Nutricula readers, you know that I have contributed an article to each issue of Nutricula since the journal's debut issue back in December of 2010. You also know that in every article I provide a certain amount information on exercise and how it applies to the particular theme of that month's issue. Well, this month's article is no different. However, I feel somewhat challenged. The theme for the October issue of Nutricula is "Breast Cancer". First, and most importantly, I am not a health professional. So how could I, in good conscience, write an … [Read more...]

GoalSetting

I know this is February. My timing is a little off. Articles about goal setting, which dovetail perfectly with New Year’s resolutions, should have been written for December or January issues. But I felt compelled to write an article on goal setting because it has had a significant impact on what I’ve accomplished over the years. There are naysayers that believe goal setting has limiting effects. I’m not one of those people. All of my life, I’ve always set goals and have had an unwavering commitment to obtain them and then some. I remember when I was in grade school (K- 8th grade), I … [Read more...]

I truly became cognizant of health and wellness when I was 22 years old. In October of 1982, I saw a world-class triathlete by the name of Julie Moss stagger to the finish line in the 1982 Ironman Triathlon World Championships in Kona, Hawaii. I had never witnessed, such determination, drive and a will to succeed. She would not be denied. She changed my world forever. So, I began to exercise, eat right and supplement. However, it wasn't until 20 years later (yes - 20 years!) that I discovered the foundation for health and wellness - digestive health! I have had numerous well respected … [Read more...]

Let’s Reverse the Ugly Obesity Trend

Obesity

As I prepare for my next endurance event, the Carlsbad Marathon, I think about how it all started – my insatiable appetite to be fit and healthy. For all of those that have ever experienced running a marathon or participating in a triathlon, the “high” you get from successfully completing these events is undeniable. I can’t get enough of it. Why do I do what I do? I think about my youth and what has shaped me over the years. When I was in grade school, I always struggled with weight. I wasn’t obese, but I spent much of this time 20-30 pounds overweight. I’m not sure what my thought … [Read more...]
