We’ve been focused on health, nutrition, and fitness at 3mph.org since the beginning (six years ago). We were interested before; we just didn’t take it as seriously. Once we graduated into our sixties, however, it became apparent that we couldn’t afford only to be interested, we needed to be fully invested and hyper-focused. For the […]

The first time I journeyed between Colorado and Texas was in 1980, and for forty-four years I’ve continued to travel back and forth between my two favorite places. I don’t know how many times we’ve driven or flown between here and there, but it’s a big number. Even a couple times a year over that
As I gaze out upon the Great Wide World from my vantage point, high above a Fruited Plain, it appears to me as if we’ve lost our way. It seems like there’s no longer a collective ideology for society to organize around. For centuries, Western civilization was steered by the philosophy of liberalism. Freedom of
Most of my best-loved activities take place outside. Before the internet, I read numerous magazines and periodicals; many were about doing things outside — one of my favorite magazines used “Outside” as its name. I don’t spend much time reading magazines anymore, the world has been digitalized. Another thing that’s not getting near as much
“Evolve or Repeat,” is a concise statement that’s been echoed by philosophers, theologians, shamans, and sages for centuries. Its power shines like the sun. Your experiences; every mistake, success, or failure, teaches you something about yourself, and the adjustments you need to make for your future happiness. Evolution is a learning game. The goal is to
Last week’s article, “Fountain of Youth” was about how exercise and a healthy diet enhance life and increase longevity. Exercise though has only existed for the blink of an eye in our grand evolutionary experiment. Exercise to increase strength, speed, and endurance began about 2600 years ago in Greece. Soldiers would lift heavy rocks, run

Stories, tales and myths of restorative and healing waters have been part of our culture for millennia. Alexander the Great spoke of the healing “River of Paradise” two and a half thousand years ago, and the Spanish Conquistador Juan Ponce de Leon searched for the “Fountain of Youth,” in Florida a mere five centuries back.
We discovered a new latin phrase recently;“Solvitur Ambulando” and immediately fell in love. Translation: It is Solved by Walking or It is Solved by Walking Around. I’ve seen it credited to both Diogenes and Saint Augustine, but who said it is not as interesting as how well it fits with the 3mph lifestyle. Whatever the

Water is second to air in the Big Three. The three things that we all need to stay alive; air, water and food. You can live only a few minutes without oxygen, a few days without water, and just a few weeks without food. Everything else with the exception of shelter is a want, no

We made it back to the little cottage on the High Plains the other day after spending much of the Winter down South. We were hoping Spring would be here waiting for us but alas, we were not so lucky; it’s April and there’s a snowdrift in the backyard. We get an occasional Spring day,
Weight Loss Pharmacotherapy has been getting such a tremendous amount of airplay recently that the fad diet yo-yo queen herself, Oprah wanted in on the action. She was the leading cast member in a 21st Century Medicine Show the other day; presented by ABC/Disney. She brought a few doctors and some emotional stories from the
We’ve been proclaiming the power of cholesterol for quite a while at 3mph. The mainstream myth is that cholesterol is bad and should be avoided, which is not just a little white lie, it’s hazardous advice and sadly it comes from numerous doctors, and nutrition experts whom you’re supposed to trust with your health. Cholesterol

Advocates are lobbying to add a new mental disorder to the “Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5-TR),” which is the official bible of the American Psychiatric Association (APA). The DSM presently contains 70+ disorders and the APA is probably extremely excited to add another one to the ever-growing list of fake afflictions. They’ve
