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...]

The U.S is at war, the economy is in the tank and the American population struggles with obesity. Those sure aren’t bright prospects, are they? How do I personally deal with this kind of stress? I go for a run! You heard me right. I lace up my shoes and head out to “The Strand” a surfside path in Hermosa Beach, California, where all my problems go away. I can say with conviction – it makes me “right” like you can’t believe! I’m like so many people – I’m a family man raising 2 little boys (a 4- and 6-year-old) trying to make ends meet in a day and age where it is … [Read more...]

Unfortunately, processed foods may have the opposite effect on peoples' health. “Eat food in its most … [Read more...]

As I try to formulate my thoughts for this article, I sit here at my computer recovering from my 95th marathon. I'm sore and in recovery mode.  However, I'm thinking how lucky I am to be able to participate in marathons, triathlons and other endurance-related events. I am often guilty of taking these events and the associated training for granted. After all, at 50 years of age, with preparation, I am physically able to complete these events — and I have done so for almost 30 years. What's my secret? Well, it's twofold: First, I have access to the very best nutrition and supplements. And … [Read more...]

According to data published in a report on www.cancer.org, about 569,490 Americans were expected to die from various forms of cancer in 2010. That’s more than 1,500 people a day! Cancer is the second most common cause of death in the United States exceeded only by heart disease. In the U.S, cancer accounts for nearly one of every four deaths. That is information that is certainly difficult to process. To make things worse, some people are often born into a situation where they are pre-disposed to certain diseases, such as cancer, because of their family history. I have been truly … [Read more...]
