Working Your Workout
We all know in today’s world, there is not enough time in the day to get everything done. Most people work long hours at jobs, then come home to families with active lives of their own. Parents struggle enough trying to get in family time with all of the extra-curricular activities their kids are involved in. With the ever-growing struggle to get through the day, when is there time or energy to workout?

Do Yoga for Mobility
All yoga asanas are a combination of strength, flexibility, mobility, and balance. Using our muscles to support our foundation or hold a certain pose is something we can all definitely feel while we’re practicing, but we’re rarely aware of the hard work our ligaments, tendons, and joints do in order to make everything run smoothly.

A Big Man's Hollywood. Top Story - August 2017.
*Note — I wrote this article ten years ago. Since then, I've moved back to New York, got married and left the industry. I currently work in nonprofits as the National Director of a small organization and am, unfortunately, in the midst of a divorce (more in my next piece).

Get Ripped Beach Ready Body While Training at Home
Every year guys are struggling to get that ripped look to amaze everybody on the beach. But the problem is that almost all of them fail year after year. There are just two reasons for that: 1) Wrong attitude about training; 2) Ineffective training program. And the good news is it’s easily fixable, it just requires a little bit of consistent action from you.

Unexplained Infertility…. Now What?
New patients often ask me if Acupuncture can help with a diagnosis of “unexplained infertility." My answer is yes, because Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diagnosis relies on the state of the body's health and balance, reflected in the pulse and tongue. I explain that Western medicine looks at health as a series of snapshots in a photo album, still frames that share a story line, while TCM is more like watching a moving picture, including the conversation in between the frames.

I Wore Skimpy Outfits To Break Free of My Body Image Issues
Since I was a kid I’ve had body image issues concerning my weight. When I was just six-years-old, my grandmother criticized my chubbiness. When I got to junior high, the girls in school — the popular ones, at least — were always extremely skinny and I wasn’t. Sometimes they would even go out of their way to make me feel insecure.

Come Smile With Me - Episode 4
My homecoming is a cauldron of emotions. I am happy, sad, tearful, frightened, worried, and excited all at the same time. The butterflies in my stomach have decided to escape through my throat, and my heart thinks that I have just completed a three-minute mile. I am gently lifted from the ambulance by stretcher and carried carefully into our living room. Mum has set my bed by the window and I can see into our garden. The view is wonderful, the smell is home, and I am exceedingly happy.
