There are not a lot of positive messages in the media today. Even when great information that provides a lot of real world value for people shows up, it’s often disguised in sensationalized story; something that makes you watch but doesn’t necessarily make you think. I’m so proud of the friends in my life who, …

The most influential factor on your health and success in life is the health of your relationships. Nothing can influence your mindset, motivation, decisions, and destination more than the people you travel through life with. When you are with the right person, in the right situation, being healthy, fit, and happy can seem almost effortless. …

Ben Greenfield walks his talk. He’s one of the top health and fitness experts in the world because he’s experimented with thousands of things firsthand and monitored the results that he got with his body.

It’s written into our genetic code that movement and exercise is required …

Mahatma Gandhi's epic quote, "Be the change you want to see in the world," begins in your own home. Our family, friends, and (most importantly) our children are mimicking and modeling us more than we know. Science has proven that we are, in fact, a direct product of our environment. You can set up an …

As a health and fitness expert, it may be grounds for impeachment to say that, but sometimes the reality of things can get off track when we’re bombarded with so many messages telling us otherwise. A fit body does not necessarily mean a healthy liver, …

Our health resides in a delicate balance. Each and every day, the actions we take are leading us towards health or away from health depending upon the decisions we make.
