I have been following Dr. Katz some recently. He had some great quotes in this past month’s Men’s Health, and he has been citing his support of Juice Plus for some time now, and I am interested in his clinical approach, which is a research/evidenced based approach, vs the testimonial approach that is often observed in my world. Check it out: David Katz, M.D.Director, Yale Prevention Research Center GET UPDATES FROM DAVID KATZ, M.D. Do multivitamins cause breast cancer? An observational cohort study conducted in Sweden, recently published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, suggests they may. In such […]

I am going to get away with a short post today. But one that is worth posting, and doing. A patient went in to a CrossFit gym this week for his first time, and he was given a workout from last years CrossFit Open. The Open is a competition that runs worldwide, and seeks out the fittest members of our planet to compete in regional qualifiers. From there, regional winners make it to the CrossFit Games to battle for fittest on Earth! The first workout (task or test as it were) was 7 minutes of burpees. In addition, the jump […]

Functionally Fit is what I am talking about, not culturally fit.  We’ll get to this difference momentarily, but the definition for the day.  To be able to accomplish all tasks that you could be called upon for, for the benefit of your quality of life, longevity, and enjoyment. I made this definition up in the moment, and it took no more than a few seconds to come up with it.  Why is that pertinent?  Because it is important to understand that fitness is a living definition, as well as a living pursuit.  It is not static, it is dynamic.  As […]

CNN News reports that several nurses in Indiana refused the flu shot, and then were fired for not taking it.  Sue Schrock and others chose not to receive the shot for medical as well as religious reasons, and the hospital chose to fire her over that decision.  This isn’t new, hospital employees have had their jobs threatened over denying vaccinations for years. What is new, is that this story is becoming common place.  Many of you remember the two major flu scares that turned into nothing in the last eight years.  First the Bird Flu (Avian Flu) was hyped up to […]

Well, I don’t like the word “sick”, so Expressing Health is what I chose.  But what is expressing health vs. being sick?  The expression of health happens in many ways, the most obvious and common in households with smaller children, is fever. Nobody likes a fever when they have it themselves, many parents don’t like it when their children express fevers, but I appreciate it, if I see signs of illness coming into one of my kids I immediately check them, and usually adjust their atlas, in hopes of seeing the expression of health step up to a fever level.

Usually I would be writing the New Years Resolution Sprout today, but instead, I find myself inspired to write about my Christmas.  If there is one thing that I will stick to my guns on, it is the importance of my time away, from you!  Thus the equivalent, is your time away, from someone else, or something else, or whatever it is.  God told us to take the seventh day as a day of rest, complete rest, and I doubt any of us do it. I know I don’t.  At times I have been really committed… why not, I don’t […]

Come join us for two hours of fun on New Years Eve!  Adjustments will be flying fast for what is normally a very busy window of time.  Well have a fun playlist of secular music to celebrate the New Year, and if you want, join us at CrossFit Towne Lake for a partner workout at 9:30am before hand (yes, the doctors will be sweaty and smelly during the shift, be prepared)!
