Nature Rx
Posted On Jun 9 2016Enjoy these two fun videos. They’re tongue-in-cheek spoofs of the omnipresent pharmaceutical ads on TV. Spoofs they are, but they advertise a real benefit that research incontrovertibly supports. That’s cool but more importantly – your common sense will recognize the truth. Fact: Nature heals you. Just like medicine, only better. : ) My New Book in Progress I’m writing a book with the working title – Finding Home – How the Love of Place Restores You. I’ll tell you more about this cool book in later posts. Note the on-screen text that zips by in these videos for more humor. …
Honest Fat Loss and Strength Training
Posted On Nov 5 2015Honest, Healthy Fat Loss and Strength Training I have been working with fat loss and weight control for decades. And I have worked with fitness even longer. I have coached people in those areas as well. Mostly, I have referred people to great resources – books, healers, and coaches. Now, I send people here – Metabolic Effect. My doctor, Amy Hobson, went to school with Jade and Keoni Teta and suggested that I work with them. I have been following their fitness and eating suggestions ever since. And referred clients to their book. (Read my experience with the Slim Jim …
This Tweak Works to Lower Stress
Posted On Jul 2 2015Today’s Oracle My software angels choose this oracle quote for you today: 53) Until one is committed there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation) there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man …
Eat More, Work Out Less, Lose Fat — Metabolic Effect
Posted On Feb 6 2012Picture this. An Olympic sprinter. OK? Now picture a marathon runner. OK? Now imagine you’re a doctor attending a lecture with Dr. Jade Teta, ND asking you, “Which athlete is more muscular?” “The sprinter,” the audience says. “Yep, that’s easy to tell. Right?” Jade says, “Ok, now which of these two athletes is leaner? Which has less body fat?” Some shout sprinter; some shout marathoner. The docs didn’t really know. The answer to that question forms the basis of the metabolic effect on body composition – how much fat you have vs. how much lean body mass. Before I tell …
Roswell Shame Cure
Posted On Jan 13 2011I’ve been researching shame and its toxic effects on one’s life again. In particular, I’m examining shame and its relationship to fear for the ever expanding Kill the Worrywart Program. Quick Overview of Shame You need healthy connections. You die without them. Shame is the certain belief that there is something wrong with you. And that if people knew, they would disconnect from you. You’re not good enough to be loved. Shame is universal. Everyone has some. Same underlies all your really damaging fears. Now for the Roswell Shame Cure Roswell is a small, wiry, black and white dog. She …
Why You Need a Paper Route
Posted On Aug 10 2007“I’ve noticed,” Mom said, “ever since you got your paper route, you haven’t been sick.” Having a paper route in the middle of the last century meant delivering papers to people’s homes seven days a week, 365 days a year in rain, snow, summer dog days, and excellent weathers. It meant, in my case, exercising hard for 45 minutes up to an hour and a half on snowy Sunday mornings in the dark. “Where have I heard this before?” you inquire politely. “That’s right – Younger Next Year and Harry’s rules. The first rule is exercise hard six days a …
Younger Next Year
Posted On Jun 6 2007When it comes to getting older, you think you know – But guess what? You don’t know. The point of this book is that you do not know. And you have the wrong picture in your head. You know what it meant for your old man and his father.., for your mentor and a few billion other guys. But the rules are changing. Right now. And your prospects are different. Quite different. Harry–that’s Henry S. Lodge, M.D., my doctor, my coauthor, my close friend–is going to give you enough of the new evolutionary biology in his chapters so that you …
You Want To Get Strong and Stay Strong
Posted On May 9 2007I say, “You want to get strong and stay strong.” Why? Because everything in your life gets better when you’re strong. Here’s what I mean. Researchers have shown repeatedly that when you are strong, your body and soul work better. Miriam Nelson did the first research I read. She took postmenopausal women and did moderate strength training with them. Because Nelson wanted to get a clear picture she controlled the research with one other requirement – the women could not lose weight. At the end of a period of weeks using the battery of indicators for biological age the women …
