The first week of this experiment is officially complete. And my biggest takeaway? This might be simpler than I expected. The Fasting Window: Surprisingly Manageable So far, I’ve completed: That didn’t feel difficult—likely because I’ve never been an early breakfast eater. I naturally prefer my first meal around 10 or 11 AM, which makes extending…
Today Lanny and I officially stepped into the Summer Shred 2026 challenge. And yes—we have the free T-shirts to prove it. The Baseline: Facing the Numbers Our first stop was the InBody scan. This wasn’t just a weight check—it was a full breakdown of what’s actually going on inside the body: It’s incredibly detailed… almost…
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. It sounded like something designed for younger men chasing six-pack abs—not someone like me, who has zero interest in being “shredded.” I’m not trying to become a bodybuilder. I…
We once viewed phones as tools for our convenience. Somewhere along the way, many of us quietly became available to the outside world at all times instead. Constant connection now follows us everywhere, fragmenting conversations, interrupting quiet moments, and slowly pulling our attention away from the people sitting directly in front of us. Freedom to Thrive explores what happens when modern life leaves us endlessly reachable—and why becoming more intentional with technology may matter more than we realize.

When someone we love is hurting, declining, or facing a serious diagnosis, it’s only natural to search for answers everywhere we can find them. But in a world full of supplements, devices, and promises that “change everything,” it becomes easy to expect too much from a single tool. This article explores the difference between supportive health tools and miracle-cure thinking — and why strong foundations still matter most.
If there was an exercise trend over the last forty years, chances are I tried it. From Jane Fonda and step aerobics to yoga, Pilates, golf, tennis and more, most of them eventually faded away. What survived wasn’t the most popular workout. It was the one that fit my life. Here’s what four decades of exercise taught me about finding movement that lasts.
The best exercise isn’t the one everyone is talking about. It’s the one you’ll still be doing years from now. A practical look at sustainable movement in the second half of life.
Strength in the second half of life is about far more than appearance. It supports mobility, balance, resilience, and independence — often determining how fully we continue participating in life as we age.
Circulation is one of those systems we rarely think about until something doesn’t feel right. But behind the scenes, its constantly delivering oxygen, nutrients, and support throughout the body. In this article, we explore how red-light therapy may help support circulation and recovery — and why this technology has evolved far beyond its original “beauty device” reputation.
Most decline begins quietly while we’re busy living. The body often whispers long before it screams — but many of us spend years trying to silence the signals instead of listening to them.
