A strange thing happened when my Dad passed away. For the first time in my life, I looked at the age he was when we lost him (59) and the age I was at the time (35) and started to count down the years. It was unfair and probably unreasonable for me to do so. […]
It has taken way too long for me to get the great Marci Nevin on the show. I resolved that issue this week! Marci and I get to chat about mindset traps and ways we tend to sabotage our own best efforts. We also talk about ways to get out of some of the self-talk […]
“I can’t believe I gained almost all of the weight I lost back!” When Jackie first started working with me, it was following the advice of her fiance Abe who had already been seeing great weight loss results with us. Jackie had reached a point with her body weight that she could no longer accept […]

Coming from someone who has written poems, songs, articles and a […]
This week, I welcome back for the fourth time, Lyle McDonald. To this day he holds the claim for the most downloaded episode of the show (#76) and two episodes with his lifter, Sumi Singh (#99 & #149.)
