Several weeks ago, I had an unfortunate incident happen with a service provider. I won’t go into specifics about it (to protect the name of the business) but if I were a certain type of person, hopping on social media to express my displeasure about the circumstance could have been problematic for them. I’m not […]
How stressed out are you right now? It’s not a rhetorical question. I’d like you to think about everything you have going on in your life at this moment: -The stress of kids getting ready for (or just starting) school -Work related stress -Relationship stress -The stress of illness or injury -Financial stress -Stress from […]
Sometime late 1994, early 1995, I was hearing about a singer by the name of Jeff Buckley. His debut album, “Grace”, came out in August of 1994 and the critics were raving. I heard one of his singles, “Last Goodbye”, on the radio and I liked it but I wasn’t crazy about it. Nevertheless, I […]
Our little man turned eight over this past weekend. As summer is starting to wind down and he (begrudgingly) gets ready for second grade, the last year of Sebastian’s life has been full of excitement. He’s still very much into science, making experiments, outer space and the weather. He loves his video games about as […]

Post-COVID, Roger has been doing several video interviews which have been featured on different […]

When I got my Level 5 diploma in advanced nutrition from Mac-Nutrition Uni, graduates were given the opportunity to attend certain courses offered by Monash and I’ve continued to learn what […]
I’m going to geek out on music this week. I’ll make sure to tie my thoughts back to health and life by time I get to the end. On July 4th, in Cardiff, Oasis began the first day of their reunion tour. I have loved that band since 1995 when I first heard the song, […]
Sporadically throughout my adulthood, I’ve come across variations of the Wheel of Life. My therapist brought it back to my attention a few years ago and I was reminded of how simple but effective the tool could be. If you’re not already acclimated to it, you can see a version of it below. (Found from […]
This isn’t the advice you’re going to see on the best-selling diet/nutrition books at the bookstore. This isn’t the advice you’re going to see on those trashy magazines that wait for you when you check out at the grocery store. This isn’t a diet with a name. Your next door neighbor probably didn’t lose 20 […]
