This is frustrating but you may want to think of alternative options that are out side of the box. Insurance be damned, getting the right doctor can actually save you time, heartache and money. How often do you see your doctor? Because it is such a hassle, most people only go when something is wrong. They don't want to deal with in

In America, we have the gift of having some of the best healthcare available and the curse of the worse system to run it. Because most large government bureaucracies are run the same, it means people who make progress are not rewarded and people who make mistakes are fired and punished. This is literally the surest way to make sure no one sticks their neck out and does what needs to be done or have the balls to discover a new way of treatment. This is the most dangerous way t

Let me start out this article by saying caffeine affect people differently. That's why the research is split directly down the middle. Some people are fast metabolizers of caffeine. That are the people that benefit from it. And many of us are slow metabolizers of caffeine. But weather or not you are a fast or slow metabolizer doesn’t make a difference on how caffeine ultimately affects your hormones. Women in general are more sensitive to hormone stimulators. It make sense be

One of the biggest health pirates in our diet is sugar. I’m sure you have all heard about how bad sugar is, but if you REALLY knew what regular consumption of sugar does to our bodies, I don't think you would need much more convincing. Sugar not only keeps us fat and wrecks havoc on our hormonal response to just about everything, it inhibits the work of white blood cells, causes migraines, stiffens arteries and impairs proper brain function. In fact, scientists are starting t

A few years back I did a head first dive into the metaphysical and occult. And just as you suspected, it gets weird after a while and hard to separate truth from paranoia. But before I left, I pick up some insanely useful methods of project planning and execution. None of this is new knowledge. Before we had modern science and Facebook, the people of the earth tracked patterns and cycles in nature for answers and information. This art is largely lost today as we rely on peopl

Cacao is, at it best, the raw and powered form of the Theobroma Cacao bean. It is the basic material that chocolate is derived from. Do not get CACAO confused with COCOA. Cocoa is the stuff you make hot chocolate from. Cacao (kah-Kaw) is the unprocessed form of this. Nutrient Information There is awesome news for those that are chocoholics: You can have chocolate and still be healthy.

Seems odd, but some of you really don't know how to be sick. This seems to be a lost art today. The truth is, if we knew how to treat ourselves when we got sick, we would likely get sick less often. Human are the only mammal on earth that get sick and keep going. Every other animal retreats to a cave to fast and hibernate for three days. Sickness is a sign that you need to rest. We are guilted into this fast paced world where you are expected to keep up with thing all the tim

Most of us long for a good looking physique and desperately scramble trying to get one. Too much scattered effort and not enough results are the fruits of lack of knowledge. There are many things that go into being well trained and it not just weightlifting and running. When you InstaHeros say its a lifestyle, they are right. You cant take the average american office worker and just tack on 45 minutes of gym time to 5 days of their week. While it will make some benefits, what

In fact it is ENCOURAGED to do so. There is no need for you to greatly reduce p

If you are a gym hopper, travel a lot or are new to a gym, you are familiar with the experience of walking into a new place and hoping to god you don't look like a fool Ok, actually I think we are all familiar with that feeling...
