In 1992, the United States adopted the Food pyramid and introduced it to the American public through its Department of Agriculture (the USDA). Since then, the food pyramid has been updated twice. Once in 2005. And also, in 2011. Mind you, something as seemingly trite as a food pyramid had never been introduced to any society in the history of the ancient or modern world prior to 1974.

Eating What? The Psychology Behind Hacking The American Consumer

As I began to study this philosophy called Veganism it struck me as strange how people, on the one hand, could be so passionate about the rights of animals, while on the other, could be so utterly dogmatic and ideologically irrational about my right not to eat Vegan.

What They Won't Tell You About Veganism Part 1

I’ve had clients who were hundreds of pounds over-weight, and because they were brutally honest with themselves and me, met all their fitness goals over time. I’ve also had clients who were only a few pounds over-weight but blamed the world for everything. So, no matter what exercise or menu program I introduced, they never met any of their fitness goals. They were essentially stuck. You could say that the client who weighed the most, but who took personal responsibility for her life, was much healthier even with the extra weight. Indeed, she was healthier because her mental and emotional health were far more developed than the other client who felt she had it all together minus a few pounds.

We tend to think of our sports heroes as super heroes. But often, they don’t even measure up to mortal men. For example, one would have to go back to the days of the Negro Baseball Leagues, in the 1920’s, to find a single professional athlete who has lived to the age of 100. Centenarians are rare for the general population but even more rare for professional athletes. You would think that professional athletes who receive the best medical care, psychological, and nutritional advice and services would far outlive the general population, but they don’t. In fact, they die significantly younger than most. In fact, the average life span for professional athletes across all sports is 62 nearly a decade earlier than the general population. In Canadian professional football, it's even less at 51. How can this be true?

So, you’re fifty-three, fifty-eight, somewhere in there. And you look every bit of thirty-something while your high school classmates look like senior citizens. You remember back to high school.

The temptation would be to ask what happened to Kati? But the real question one should ask is what happened to you? Age really is nothing but a number... And here's the latest science to prove it!

What Must We Learn from Athletes Before 2018? What secrets do they know about staying in the game that we don't? Have you ever listened to an athlete interview after an injury? Have you noticed how they never even admit being injured? How they consider being unhealthy the inability to perform at 100%? There is no athlete who wants to be taken out of the game which is why they now have a standing concussion protocol in the NFL just to protect the athletes from themselves. Because given the choice nearly 99.9% of them would return to the game without any regard to their long-term health. Yet, 99.9% percent of the American public who are not professional athletes, or who don’t consider themselves athletes, or even athletic, for that matter, do just the opposite. Even a headache or stomach ache has them tapping out.
