I just finished climbing the Empire State Building in an hour. The wind’s up today, and it’s cold too, so going for a walk is a bit sketchy. Yeah, I could bundle up in multiple layers and brave the conditions but I decided not to. I decided to climb the Empire State Building instead. It wasn’t […]

The pharmaceutical industry has propagated one of the greatest lies in the history of medicine. The belief that tweaking a symptom this way or that, by shutting off a signaling molecule, enzyme or hormone actually fixes the problem. Sadly, the underlying issue is often exacerbated by these pharmaceuticals. The medical industry has followed along, prescribing

Fitness and diet have become two of the most important things in our lives, in the last half decade. Before that, we didn’t give them the correct weighting in our daily life. When we were young we wielded them like weapons, to achieve one goal or another and then we would resheath them until we
One of our favorite quotes at 3mph, is “Let food be thy medicine, and let medicine be thy food.” We’ve always attributed the quote to Hippocrates, the 1st doctor.

It’s the organ that enabled abstract thinking and the rapid evolution of a species; then came civilization, art and science. The prefrontal cortex has evolved to be disproportionally
Vickie and I spend a fair bit of time daily, walking and talking. Usually between 3 to 5 miles, sometimes further, as we search for that “just right” distance. If one of us doesn’t quite have the gumption, we cheer and coax each other on. I think that’s what God had in mind when he

Making bone broth is one of those things that folks pretty much gave up a half dozen decades ago. At least I don’t know many people that spend their time and energy over a big stock pot, filled with dead animal bones – I do though. Not very often but sometimes when we cook a

I lost part of myself a few weeks ago. It wasn’t a big surprise, I’d been expecting it for awhile. I went to the dentist to have a tooth extracted. Number 13, the back, upper left bicuspid. Along with the other seven bicuspids, it has served me well for a very long time. There’s a
