What is the correct “speed” to get into shape?

I don’t know about you, but I still struggle to use the proper, “The Open Championship” instead of “The British Open” when talking about these week’s major – but such is the evolution of the event.  And nobody asked me.   Speaking of evolving, what is the correct “speed” to get...

You’ve got permission to be “selfish” starting today.

Well, to say this weekend was crazy and weird may be the biggest understatement ever. Let’s take a break from politics (thank goodness), and let’s talk about a phenomenon called… The Backseat Fitness Paradox It goes something like this: We’re one of those selfless people whose need to take a backseat to our family,...

Why I don’t care about 6-pack abs

Wednesday evening, my wife Sue and I were walking the dog, and ran into a neighbor who just bought a beautiful new, black Mercedes SUV.  Now, it’s a really good looking vehicle.  But, it’s not a car I would buy.  Even with that in mind, my tiny brain said, “Man,...

 Would you take PEDs to go to the show?

The last St. Louis Cardinals game I went to, we had really great seats right next to the dugout… When I tell you these dudes are huge, I am very much understating it. A few times I’ve seen them at the bars after games, and they stick out like sore...

Processed vs. unprocessed foods

We’re going to switch gears a little today, but still keep with SIMPLE.  Of course, we all know that crushing Lay’s potato chips with a side of Dorito’s isn’t as healthy as a baked potato with corn.  Duh!  But, what are the real world, day-to-day differences that affect us over...

A 2-minute push-up?

I was cleaning up my computer and I ran across this... "The more complicated an exercise is, the further it moves away from producing powerful results." Now, the above quote could apply to almost anything, including your swing, your job, your hobbies…really just about anything I can think of. The...

 Living a pain-free golf life

As tomorrow is Independence Day, we’re going to shut it down for the rest of the weekend.  So, you won’t hear from my smiling face until Monday.  But, before the BBQ, cold suds, golf, and safe-ish fireworks…  I met A LOT of patients at the beginning of my career in...

How to flip the script on fat loss

Happy Mandatory Golf Friday!  This morning on the course, our co-founder Ryan and I were talking about we can’t help but shake our heads at the absurdity of the diet industry – an extremely lucrative industry ($250B), by the way.  What I’ve come to believe is that the plethora of...
