Wednesday night I saw something that truly inspired me. Sarasota's hometown tightrope walker Nik Wallenda made history by becoming the first person ever to walk over an active volcano on a high wire. It was a pretty amazing sight to behold.
In addition to the normal challenges of being on a tightrope, Nik also had to contend with waves of very hot air, toxic gases and enormous gusts of wind. Afterwards, he said that at times it felt like the...
Many are unaware of the link between what goes in their mouth and how they feel, but every year it is becoming more and more clear that we truly are what we eat. Certain foods have been shown to evoke an inflammatory response in the body, which can irritate conditions like arthritis and cause increased pain. The Arthritis Foundation has identified common food ingredients to try and eliminate from your diet to minimize these flare ups. The following was taken directly from an article on their website:
Have you ever gotten so busy that your workouts became harder to fit into your schedule? If so, than you know what I've been going through lately.
Since November, things have ramped up significantly in the office. I've been coming in earlier, staying later, and having to get more creative with how I get my workouts in. Luckily I've found a solution that is working very well, and I think it's something you can use too.
On the days that...
Today I want to talk to you about a subject that is near and dear to all of our hearts (whether we realize it or not)- winning.
We all enjoy life's "wins", don't we?

Do you recall the last time you felt disappointed or discouraged? Don't you hate feeling like that? Think back to what it was that prompted those feelings. Chances are pretty good that it was because of something we all deal with from time to time- unmet expectations.
Unmet expectations can be very destructive. They have destroyed families, marriages, businesses, careers, friendships, pursuits of dreams, and much more. They have also successfully kept many strong men and woman in depressed, hopeless or disappointed states of mind,...

Whenever I begin a new year it is very common for me to do a lot of reflecting. This new year has got me doing that on steroids because I've not only been reflecting on 2019, but on the events of the entire decade that just ended as well.
Two things happened this week that were fun to reflect on. Friday morning I was reminded that it was exactly 12 years ago (1/10/2008) since I had my first full feature article in...
I sure do love this time of year, don’t you?
We’ve celebrated some great holidays where we’ve commemorated some amazing miracles, and now we get to count down to the beginning of a new year. So exciting!
Being that we are only days away from 2020, I would be remiss not to say something about "New Years Resolutions." Studies show that health related goals often top peoples list, and this year should be no different.
About 3 weeks ago I began working with a woman named Linda, who was having bad back pain and sciatica. Linda was referred to me by her son Jesse, whom I had helped with chronic neck and shoulder problems. He felt that her issue was partly muscular also.
During my assessment of Linda's body, I found movement restrictions, skeletal misalignments and inhibited muscles in various places through her spine and hips. This is very common to find in people with this kind...
