I stare at a blank page, unsure what to write today. I usually plan blogs ahead of time, but I don’t have anything planned for today. It’s Memorial Day. I figure I should write about that, right? You could say that the discussion of Memorial Day has nothing to do with the topic of healthContinue reading “Memorial for what?”

More Food
I love looking at food (and cooking food and eating food and thinking about food). I hope you do too! Maybe you’ll get some ideas for something you can make at home.
Why the Blender is Essential Home Gym Equipment
There aren’t many things that you “have” to have in a home gym, but I would say that a good blender is one of them. I have had dozens of blenders over the years and I use mine every day. Throw away all your pre-made energy drinks, recovery drinks, or protein shakes, and just makeContinue reading “Why the Blender is Essential Home Gym Equipment”
Back to Basics
Right at the start of the COVID outbreak, before any of the lockdowns were imposed, I blew up a copy of these “Basic Lifestyle Guidelines” from OPEX into a poster for my gym wall.

Waiting for Results
I was tested for COVID-19 yesterday. I feel like garbage and I’m not gonna lie, this is pretty scary. I will hear my results today.

In the 21st century, it seems like we are attacked on all sides by diseases, and wars, and natural disasters; by ideological conflicts and economic crises. Does this spell the end of humanity? Are we all individually and collectively doomed?Continue reading “The Moral Imperatives of our Impending Doom”
The Vision
When I was still working at the health club, planning to set out on my own with my own fitness coaching business, I did a lot of business plan writing exercises.

April 12th is Nathan Nakis Day
For me, April 12th will always be Nathan Nakis day. My kid brother Nathan was born on April 12th, 1984. I gave him a Tonka truck as a welcome gift and we were best friends (most of the time) after that. My brother taught me a lot about health and fitness through his example andContinue reading “April 12th is Nathan Nakis Day”
Being Real = “Clean”
I recently made a change to how I conceptualize and order my consultations with clients. First of all, I should explain that I do consultations, and what consultations are. In my coaching business, clients pay a monthly subscription fee and in return receive a package of services: Consultation Assessment Program Design Program Delivery Ongoing CoachingContinue reading “Being Real = “Clean””
