  I'm in an interesting position with the work that I do and the location I do most of it from.  My services, Muscle Activation Techniques and Strategic Resistance Training, pretty much appeals to everyone to some degree.  This is why in the same week, or even the same day I might work with a 38 year old stay at home mom, a 65 year old tennis player, an 87 year old golfer and a 27 year old professional athlete.  The "problems" that drove them to come see...

I came across an article recently that I wanted to share with you.  The article is about the latest findings that show that periods of fasting or dieting produce a strong anti-inflammatory effect in the body that can help inhibit the development of diabetes, Alzheimer's and heart disease.  Inflammation is also a huge part of pain disorders like arthritis, back pain and chronic repetitive stress injuries so inhibiting inflammation can have a huge effect on these also. This article was very timely because just a few weeks ago I completed a 48...

I want to share with you something I've been thinking about this past week. It all started when my family and I went to the Sarasota Circus.  We had a fantastic time watching the performance, and the talent and athleticism the performers demonstrated was absolutely astounding. One thing that shocked me is that a few of the performers are what most of us would say are "not spring chickens." During the show Dolly Jacobs, part owner of the Circus, does an amazing aerial act where she holds herself up...

"5 Ways To Improve Muscle Function So You Can Move Better, Feel Better, Perform Better and Avoid Injury" It went over extremely well and I was asked to come back and give more lectures in the future.  I think one of the reasons why people really appreciate this type of information is because so few people teach the importance of improving and/or maintaining good muscle health and because of that so many people are losing the benefits. Right now musculoskeletal ailments account for 57.5% of doctor visits...

Talking with some of my clients this week about what is going on in the news has been admittedly a bit of a downer.  With news about terrorist attacks, measles outbreaks, news anchors lying and other "bad" news, my general disdain for mainstream media news stories was reinforced substantially. Then I read another story that completely changed everything. USA Today, the nations most widely circulated newspaper ran a story this week about a boy in Missouri who drowned in an icy lake.  He was under water, fully submerged for...

I want to share something important with you today that may make a huge difference in how you feel if you suffer from arthritis or other types of inflammation and pain. Let me give you the backstory of how I first discovered this. You'll find it is helpful to understanding the importance of this topic. About 7 months ago I began working with a client named Vince.  Vince had been suffering terribly with chronic pain for over 30 years and had been through every medical treatment available with...

Once I finish writing this article I will be making arrangements to watch the NFL conference championship games which will be played today.  I must confess that I rarely watch a full game during the entire regular football season.  I find them to be very long and often uninteresting.  However, I love watching games during the last few rounds of the playoffs.  Why?  Because this is where you see people play their hardest and give it their all. No matter what slip ups have happened early...

Getting to reflect on all that has happened over the past 12 months is always fun for me.  This year has been amazing.  Every aspect of my life has seen such tremendous growth and improvement that it’s hard to believe it has all happened in only 12 months.  I am truly a blessed man. Although it's nice (and necessary) to reflect on all the good things of the year, I always encourage people to try to also set their gaze onto things that will make the...

I can still clearly remember the day when Andrea and I made our vows, said I do and committed our lives to each other. I remember having a blast at our "Latin style" wedding reception (Andrea is from Peru) where we danced until almost 3 in the morning.  I also remember the many times we would sit and talk about how great life together was going to be from then on. It's funny how you never can really grasp the amount of work that's involved in a marriage until...
