Reflections on repeating the Presidential Physical Fitness Test of my youth in my 50’s and what this means for fun fitness.
Here Wegovy Again…
Obesity – because we know how genes work – cannot be genetic. Wegovy and Ozempic treatments without healthy behavior change will be a disaster. Nature will push back harder than we can push it if we fail to use the new drugs as a catalyst for lifestyle change.
Your Brain (Health) on Drugs
What if we took even just 10% of the cost of a new so-so treatment for Alzheimer’s, and gave that amount to 10 people to invest in brain healthy lifestyle choices? What gives us the most bang for all those bucks? Leqembi or Lifestyle?
Belief Creates Opportunity… Not Reality
Belief creates the opportunity – not reality. You can’t manifest things by thinking them, you still have to put in the work. The trick is to make the work feel less like “work.”
We Don’t. They Do.
We don’t need more research. Scientists do. When it comes to brain health and exercise, there’s ample evidence to show clear benefit. But every study mentions the need for more research. If you’re a fitness pro or just a member of the public, you don’t need more research, but more action.

Does Enheavyment Bring Enlightenment?
Does obesity lead to inner truth or the inside of a hospital? It makes everything in life worse, yet misguided people are asking us to accept it. We cannot. New research shows that obesity promotes Alzheimer’s.
Slacktivity Trackers
Trackers don’t stop slackers. If they create a sense of discovery that enhances the experience of being you, wonderful. If they reinforce the notion that you’re never doing “enough” then they suck. It all depends on you.
Exciting Back Page News!
Exciting Back Page News! A teensy-weensy benefit from a drug to treat brain disease is treated like the moon landing. Big benefit from fitness is usually buried in the back pages, but it’s actually the bigger news. 6-minute HIIT workout boosts BDNF more than 90-minute light intensity, and more than intermittent fasting, and certainly more than Lecanemab.
