Billionaires Who Practice Gratitude
I’ll never forget reading this statement in at least one possibly more self help book: “90% of all Billionaires practice gratitude every day!” Sounds wonderful doesn’t it! If you practice gratitude, you may be adopting the habits of a billionaire and thus may become one! And if you don’t do it every day woe unto
Waking Dead or Why you should never be first!
They Knew it All Along I remember 23 years ago when fish oil was considered dispensable and nonsensical. Now everyone knows about it and lots of people take it. Some doctors recommend it although they are usually careful to point out that ONLY the prescription brands are to be trusted (yeah you can trust Big
Do You Feel the Earth Breathing
Ok at the risk of sounding overly metaphysical I can feel the Earth breathing. I suspect you can to if you pause and focus. This will be especially true during changes of season- such as now! – and during big fluxes in weather and temperature. Right now, as I write this to you, we are
Turning 65?
Turning 65? Now I am not revealing my age but its pretty easy to document in public record if you so choose. Looking at the wide depth and breadth of my audience there is still a large representation in this immediate age range. So, I started thing on this my birthday, what I have noticed
Segment Intending- How to develop an Iron Will
I did not invent the term segment intending and I’m not sure who did but…. I practice it quite a bit. One segment is the season. Right now, we are about to change that! So, in approaching any segment the first thing to do is to decide what you want to do in this segment.
How to get Twice as Much Done in a Day
They say it can’t be done! Multi-tasking is a myth started by people selling self-improvement and efficiency. Well, I disagree that it can’t be done and indeed I do sell, practice and stand by self-improvement and efficiency. So, today I’m going to include some of my tips. Now, I am often a proponent of the
How to Tackle New Skills and Life Changing Projects!
I’ve seen it thousands of times in my career. Someone appears highly motivated to start something that will change their life. The motivation fails in a few weeks (or days) and they are left at exactly the same spot as before in their development. I’ve often been asked in my coaching how to approach this.
In Search of Perfection
Last night during my weekly guitar performance I managed a perfect delivery. The song sounded great, the vocals decent and no mistakes. I went to bed feeling this was a milestone and a big confidence builder. Then the cold light of day arose and the playback went up on the site. When I listened to
Waiting for the Other Shoe to Drop
Way back when I was in my medical residency, I lived with my parents for the first 2 years to save money. I chose to sleep in my recently deceased brother’s room. It added some comfort and connection and felt right. My parents’ room was directly above and like many residences and hotels the space
What Causes Aging and is it Natural
Let me answer the first question: Wear and Tear Without Repair! As you might have guessed the intervention of all that is also where you can change the dynamic of how we age. But let me be clear. No one gets out of here alive! I’ve had many discussions of this type with people over
So How’s Your Summer Going!
Its hard to believe it’s already July! Seems to me once we hit the solstice everything accelerates. Not to bore you with me me me talk but here is an update on my end. I’ve been asked by specific people to re-open coaching programs so I am doing that on an as requested basis. I’ve
It Might Be Time to Admit It!
Recent data from the U.K. point to shortened telomeres in midlife as a predicter of increased Alzheimer’s in later years. I always wonder when we are going to say “OK these things keep pointing in the direction of almost every disease of aging there is. When are we going to admit they should be a
The Invisible Man
Wow! And Thanks!!! I was pleasantly surprised at how many people got back to me after the most recent email (The Sky is Falling). I realize how busy everyone is and that its also summer so it was especially gratifying I have often said I do what I do because its what I believe in
The Sky Is Falling
I have watched with interest some developments that have become more and more common place over the past few months. First an easy one: The use of Plant based as a sales term. The other day it showed up on my citronella incense. I guess this is a throwback to the days when “cow dung”
Dr Dave Do You Know How Controversial You Are?!
Those were the words spoken to me at a recent anti-aging conference I lectured at in Mexico. Apparently, people down there still follow me, still find what I have to say as both valuable and controversial. It kind of reminds me of all the heavy metal bands of the 80’s that found a home among
Athleticism vs. Aestheticism
Athleticism versus Aestheticism Ok maybe those are not real words but you get the idea. A lot of times people ask me about those 2 things. More often than not they actually want more of one than the other. The average person wants to look good. This is ego based since in their minds looking
I Trust the Internet More than I Trust TV?
Recently the finger has been pointed at the “media” for dividing the nation. One politician made the title statement: I trust the internet more than I trust TV! Frankly I think that is ludicrous! The internet is just as biased and has engaged in hiding facts, boosting some headlines and just plain censorship in spite
Accelerants of Aging Part 3
So far in this series, I’ve covered the primary role of telomeres and mitochondrial dysfunction in aging. Keep in mind telomere loss was considered “Irreversible” until the discovery of the telomerase enzyme and various ways to turn it on Telokynase. Sadly, most research dollars have been shunted toward cancer, like many others. As with the previous
Super Brain Aging
It’s a known and accepted “fact” that our brains slow down and don’t work that well as we age. But not always! There is a small but considerable group of people who actually get better as they age including better memory! If saw my recent video on Post Covid Neurologic Damage and/or you experienced covid
Why You are Always Tired Part 1
Fatigue is, next to anxiety, one of the most common complaints I dealt with as a clinician. Early in my career most of the people were elderly and somewhat frail. But as time progressed I began to hear it more and more from younger and younger patients. What was going on!!! That is today’s topic
Designed to Fail!
Why is it so hard to find the Truth? Several years ago, I was approached by a famous health writer to discuss the pros and cons of fish oil. After our discussion and my provision of science backing up what I said he stated, “Your stuff is totally contrary to what is being published in
