Health Hacks

Welcome to Health Hacks, The Short Version:

To any guy out there who has been married, you know the drill when you’re asked by your wife to try a new health regime.  You have two choices.  1) Fight it and make life difficult until you finally relent and just do what you were asked. 2) Just do what you’re asked to do and ask as few questions as possible to eliminate the rather lengthy reply.

Whenever I ask Adi a question about one of her health protocols, she always replies the same way.  Do you want the long version or the short version?

The following is what I surmised from asking for…The Short Version.

The Power of Yes

Listen on Spotify Many years ago, I was in a slump.  I reached a point in my life where my creativity had stalled and although my career was rolling along nicely, I hadn’t really taken my potential to the next level.  I knew I had to change the way I was thinking and my approach to life.  Since my background was in improvisation which is based on the idea of saying “yes” to life, I decided I would embark on a year-long journey of saying “yes” to as many things as I could and see what transpired. I began this […]

The Power of Magnets

The Power of Magnets

“There’s something I want to show you,” Adi said to me one day.  This is always the way it starts.  Adi discovers something and I become her guinea pig. “We need to start using magnets to help with our healing.” I drank in this statement and nodded my head without saying anything.  Picture Homer Simpson staring blankly back at Marge, and you will get an idea about my state of mind.  Finally, I responded with the only thing I could think to say: “Magnets?” I replied rhetorically.  “Like refrigerator magnets?” “Yes, but there’s more to it than that,” she responded.

Sweating for Wellness

Ayurveda, Infrared Saunas, and the Path to Holistic Health It was that time of year once again.  Sauna time.  Adi cheerfully reminded me that I haven’t been parking in the sauna lately and she convinced me to start once again making a reservation inside  our infrared sauna. In fairness, I have let this good habit slip by me lately and intuitively I knew it was time to start getting back into the sauna. I know how important this Health Hack is and it comes with a myriad of benefits.  The temperatures have dropped into the 30s at night once again

The Power of Vitamin D

Illuminating Health: “Get out in the sun and take your shirt off,” Adi commanded.  This wasn’t foreplay, this was a directive. “You need to expose your skin to the sun at least once a day so you can soak up that lovely Vitamin D.” To any guy out there who has been married, you know the drill.  You have two choices.  1) Fight it and make life difficult until you finally relent and just do what you were asked. 2) Just do what you’re asked to do and ask as few questions as possible to eliminate the rather lengthly reply.

Oil Pulling

Oil Pulling

Unveiling the Ancient Secret:  I was in the shower the other day and Adi said to me, “Hey, there’s something I want you to try.  Reach your head out of the shower.” In my mouth went  a spoonful of Coconut Oil. “Don’t swallow that and when it melts begin swishing it around your mouth,” she further instructed. “a#$%adghtkv&*&*#@” I tired my best to say to her with a mouthful of this paste in my mouth.  (Translation:  “How long do I need to swish?”) “15-20 minutes,” she said.  We’ve been married a long time, she understands my mumbles.  “And when you’re
