Sometimes I set goals and then I forget about them, and never even take one tiny step toward reaching them. I can’t really explain this, but it just happens sometimes. On the other hand, sometimes I set goals and I have a one-track mind about reaching them (like that time I wrote 150 pages of …

Lately, I’ve had a few people ask me what I do for arm workouts. I don’t usually tell people too much about my own workouts because, well, I’m not super organized about it. I just make sure to do several minutes of strength training a few times a week. If I’m being dedicated, I work …

Over the years, I’ve assisted many people at doing elimination diets, and I’ve witnessed many people find revolutionary information about themselves. I’ve seen “diseases” cured, conditions improved, and quality of life shoot through the roof.
