Are you making health too complicated? Probably. How could you not when you're constantly bombarded with supplement ads, new diets, advanced recovery methods like cold plunging, and food marketing at the grocery store screaming at you with all of its health claims? I think the biggest problem for most people, myself included, is that we're constantly striving to find the next "right" thing. Instead of digging our heels in and doing what we know works—as unexciting as it seems

I cringe when I see almost anything posted online these days about health and wellness. It's not that there isn't good information out there—the unfortunate truth is that the content that gets the most eyeballs is typically the most sensational, peddled by influencers or "doctors" who have no qualifications to discuss what they're talking about. Take Dr. Joe Dispenza, for instance. He's a New York Times bestselling author who claims in his Instagram bio to be a "Researcher of

I know what you're thinking. "But I need Facebook to check in on the family!" or "How else will I keep up with the news?" or "I only check it during my commute!" Stop. Just stop. I've been diving deep into Cal Newport's work lately ( Deep Work  and Digital Minimalism ) and one insight hit me like a freight train. It's not about whether social media provides some  benefit. Of course it does. The question Newport forces us to confront is whether it's the best  way to get that b

"I always do the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning — that way I don't feel so guilty about eating Thanksgiving dinner!" "I fast all day before the meal to save up calories!" "I can't believe I just ate all of that 'bad' food. No more sugar for the rest of the year!" Sound familiar? Now, maybe these mindsets and strategies work for you. Or maybe you think they do, but they don't. Here are some questions you can ask yourself to see if you really have a healthy perspective on

Coffee isn’t the enemy. In many ways, it’s incredibly beneficial. It’s packed with antioxidants, can boost your workout performance, and gives you a cognitive edge. The problem is that most people drink it in ways that sabotage their energy, metabolism, and hormones. On a typical day, you probably wake up groggy, sip coffee on an empty stomach, get that initial surge of energy, crash later in the day, and reach for more caffeine (or just push through the exhaustion). What’s r

We’ve become a nation addicted to shortcuts. Weight loss pills, detox teas, surgeries, IV drips, Ozempic, and endless 30-day challenges. Anything that promises results without real effort. But health doesn’t come in a bottle or a program. It’s built in the quiet, unglamorous moments no one sees: the workouts you don’t skip, the meals you actually cook, the sleep you prioritize. The truth is, our obsession with “easy” isn’t saving us time. I t ’s slowly killing us. We live in

Everyone is always stressed about something, including myself. Ironically, we live in a world that is rapidly improving, with technologies and conveniences we assumed would have rid us of any stress. And yet here we are. What gives? Social media, watching the news, social isolation, a lack of spiritual foundation, and the rest of the usual stuff. However, sometimes, stress doesn’t shout. It whispers. It hides behind habits, physical symptoms, and emotional shifts that we migh

Modern medicine is amazing at keeping people alive, but not necessarily at helping them thrive. Modern medicine is amazing in crisis care (broken bones, infections, surgeries, emergencies). It’s lifesaving when the body is in acute distress. But chronic conditions (fatigue, hormonal imbalances, digestive issues, anxiety, metabolic dysfunction) are another story. Rather than asking why  these issues occur, it focuses on how  to manage them. This leads to lifelong prescriptions
