UltraMetabolism

The Calorie Myth Most of us have been taught that calories in, minus calories out, equals weight loss. As we found in The Calorie Myth, that’s just not the case. It’s actually our hormones that keep us thin and if we aren’t thin, something needs attention. Natural Weight Loss That’s where the book UltraMetabolism comes […]

Earth Day

Earth Day has certainly brought more awareness to the planet we call home, and on more than just one day out of the year. Earth Day has become all year long, with people conserving, coming up with new ways to reduce our carbon footprint and generally being more considerate as we tread lightly. One of […]

Pi Day

In my opinion, pi is the most unique number ever and Life of Pi was a movie to match. At this moment in time, as we celebrate Pi Day, 3/14/15 9:26:53, I’d like to acknowledge the character Pi Patel. Unwilling to be confined to the box others wanted him to live in—because of his name—he deliberately […]

Surprisingly, the method was simply to lie on the balls and relax. Who […]

Law of Attraction

The Illusion of Time

Time may be an illusion but when the sun goes down I still have to get some sleep. I totally get that time is an illusion. I’m always in the present, never the past or future. Nothing is happening in the future. Nothing ever happened in the past, it happened in a “former present”, as […]
