A man with his health has 1000 dreams. A man without it has but one.

The cheapest food in the grocery store often carries the highest long-term cost. And the foods people complain about being expensive are often the ones that help keep them out of the medical system. People will think nothing of spending thousands of dollars a year on medications, copays, procedures, and health insurance deductibles. Then complain that steak, eggs, or salmon are too expensive. We’ve been taught to evaluate food based on its sticker price. The real cost of food is what it does to your health over the next 10–20 years. The cheap meal becomes: • 50 extra pounds • Type 2 diabetes • High blood pressure • Fatty liver • Heart disease • Cancer Years later. And the cost associated with managing all these diseases is astronomical. Healthy food isn’t an expense. It’s an investment in your future health. What do you think? Is healthy food actually expensive, or is it one of the best investments you can make?

Chew your food properly. I know that sounds too simple to matter. It's not. When you swallow large, poorly chewed pieces, your stomach works harder, absorbs less, and produces more gas and bloating as undigested food ferments in your gut. Aim for 20 to 30 chews per bite. Put your fork down between bites. - Better digestion. - Better nutrient absorption. - Less bloating. - Less overeating because you slow down enough to feel fullness.

One unexpected, but pleasant, side effect of the World Cup is hearing every day things that we take for granted here in America. People from other countries are amazed that you can walk into Home Depot and buy a door. They are amazed that you can buy things over-the-counter like ibuprofen and melatonin. Watching visitors experience America through fresh eyes is a good reminder that a lot of what feels ordinary to us is anything but.

Movement is an ESSENTIAL nutrient for the body AND brain.

My DNA is "anti-routine"...I love variety....but I've come to appreciate some routines like these. So important.

another think I ask is "If this is the worst thing I ever go through, how good will my life be?"

You think money buys freedom. Until sickness steals it. You think success is everything. Until your body doesn’t work. Health isn’t important because it helps you live. Health is important because when it’s gone, nothing else matters.

Incredible watching all of the Europeans here for the World Cup realize that America is indeed the greatest country in the world… The EU bureaucrats sold them a fake image of the US while holding their own nations back.

This is an exercise we use in our rehab. Solid move!

Can someone please explain it to me like I'm five, why members of Congress are more upset that Elon became a trillionaire than they are that Somalis have defrauded our government out of hundreds of billions of dollars?

You have to out-earn what you see around you. Rent/housing, groceries, healthcare, etc. If you're just getting started...stop complaining that things are hard, and start finding paths forward. Yes they are hard, and they will always be hard. What are you going to do...give up? You do not yet know, how hard poverty will be...and that it will touch everything in your life & your family's life. Be bitter if you want, that's fine. Carry anger and direct that energy to finding a way forward and being resolute about it. Never give up. Keep pushing. Life is not easy for many people, and coming from 0 is hard stuff. But if you need a wake up call, let this be yours... Start today, and do *something* Do not give in, and do not give up. Not everyone needs a Ferrari, but you should have security and no one will give that to you, but you. You may have health issues, a terrible job, barely making ends meet, or waiting for luck...but there is rarely luck you do not create. You are on your own. Time to make a strategy, and act now.

I’m Generation X. Born between 1964 and 1979, we were the last generation that played outside until the streetlights came on. We were the first to grow up with video games… and the last to sit by the radio with a blank cassette, fingers hovering over “Record” to catch our favorite songs. Friday and Saturday nights meant lacing up roller skates, hitting the rink, and gliding under disco balls. We survived the wild ’80s — big hair, shoulder pads, neon everything, and zero helicopter parents. We bridged analog and digital, freedom and technology. We remember life before the internet… and we turned out just fine.

It's wild that people think spending 4 hours a week exercising is extreme but spending the last 20 years of their life on medications isn't.

Your resting heart rate at 40 is a window into your health at 60. But most people don't pay attention to it or know how to track it. Here's what it tells you and how to lower it:

The good doctor is always thinking about how to get their patients OFF medications Not on them.

I want you to look at this chart and ask yourself one question. 193 countries on earth banned pharma companies from advertising drugs directly to you on TV. Every developed nation. The entire EU. The UK. Japan. Australia. Canada. All of them said no. Two countries said yes. The United States and New Zealand. That is it.

On the 23rd of July 1990, the best chip in the world was quietly killed off, and almost nobody was told. For half a century McDonald's fried its fries in beef tallow. Rendered cow fat, off the same animal that made the burger. A potato cooked in it browns in a way no vegetable oil can copy. Watch the face of a sixty-five-year-old when you mention it. Then a Nebraska businessman named Phil Sokolof, who had survived a heart attack and decided saturated fat was the villain, spent millions of his own money on full-page ads headlined The Poisoning of America, naming McDonald's directly. The company folded and switched the fryers to vegetable oil. Here is what he swapped in. Polyunsaturated oil is a fragile molecule, packed with weak double bonds that oxygen rips apart the moment it heats. Hold it at frying temperature all day, reheat it, top it up, and it goes rancid in the vat, throwing off aldehydes, reactive compounds that damage DNA and are tied to heart disease, cancer and dementia. British chemists who heated sunflower and corn oil clocked those aldehydes at twenty times the World Health Organisation limit. One fish supper fried in the stuff carried up to two hundred times the safe daily dose. Tallow does none of this. Saturated fat gives oxygen almost nothing to attack, so it sits in the fryer stable and unbothered. It is the most stable frying fat there is, which is why every cook before 1980 reached for it. So they pulled the stable fat a heart patient feared and dropped in an unstable one that turns toxic the instant it heats. Then they sprayed the potato with a plant-derived compound labelled natural beef flavour, a laboratory ghost of the cow, to cover the absence of the real one. Call it an apology if you prefer. Apologies do not oxidise, and they are not deep-fried and fed to three generations of children. What McDonald's served after 1990 was closer to a sentence, carried out quietly at a hundred and eighty degrees, one fryer at a time. The tallow, meanwhile, is still in the animal, exactly where it always worked best.
