Twenty years ago, a friend and I set off in search of alkaline water convinced it was something we needed for better health. There was only one problem: neither of us had stopped to ask what we actually wanted it to do. I still love trying new things, but today there’s one question I try to ask first.
We thought giving up sugar for a week would mostly mean skipping dessert. Then we started reading labels. Our sugar-free week quickly became a “lot less sugar” week—and taught us something more useful than perfection ever could.
Most of us care deeply about our health, so why are we still searching for answers? A surprisingly full room on a Saturday morning made me wonder if the problem isn’t a lack of information at all—but figuring out what matters in the middle of so much of it.
Sometimes we don’t realize how good our everyday habits make us feel until we leave them behind. A few days outside my normal routine reminded me just how clearly the body communicates when we finally learn to listen.

Modern science helped explain why the fundamentals matter—but it didn’t replace them. Sometimes the greatest discoveries simply bring us back to the things that have always mattered.

When I first received the email and text invitation to join the Alpha Health 6th Annual Summer Shred Challenge, my reaction was simple: I ignored it. But then my health coach, Faith, sent me a message:“Hey, can I sign you and…
This is it – the final week of the Summer Shred Challenge. We completed our final InBody scan this week, and the results confirmed what I had already started to feel. We both lost fat mass and more importantly gained muscle mass. Their offer this last week is Tesamorelin/AOD-9604/MOTS-c. I’ve mentioned this peptide stack in…
