It’s not enough to perform your best physically; you also have to be able to peak mentally. While the physical does impact the mental, you can’t just wing it if the task is important to you. To me, that was the difference in the Super Bowl. But the Patriots in particular seem to be able […]
The New England Patriots won the Super Bowl again. You can love them or hate them, but you have to respect what they’ve accomplished. In fact, you have to respect the physical preparation of both teams leading up to the game. No one seemed winded or gasping for air, and no one seemed to be […]
Tomorrow’s Super Bowl Kick-off is set for 6:30 p.m. Eastern Time. The location was set years ago, and the day and time were set immediately after last year’s game. There were no secrets. Everyone knew. Every team, coach, and player knew the details. Every team had the same time to train. They all played the […]
After the fitness trends I wrote about Tuesday, I thought I would see if there were any other surveys by nutritionists or dieticians on nutrition or diet trends. Turns out that The Pollack Communications in conjunction with Today’s Dietician just did their 7th Annual What’s Trending in Nutrition survey of registered dieticians. Not surprising to […]
The American College of Sports Medicine just released the list of top fitness trends for 2019. Top of the list is fitness trackers; second and third are group exercise and high intensity interval training. Fitness trackers taking the top spot surprised me because they’re not an exercise, they’re a tool to track exercise. But if […]
The New England Patriots are playing in the Super Bowl. Again. They’re playing the Los Angeles Rams this time. There will be thousands of pages written about the game. Countless commentaries in all forms of media as well. Even though I’m a Buffalo Bills fan, I have to give credit to the Patriots. They’re the […]

But we have a ranking system in our heads of how we perceive the importance of everything we’re doing, and sometimes […]
You’re sitting on a plane. The person next to you says he’s conducting a study about parachute safety and asks if you would be willing to be randomly assigned to one of two groups: jumping out of the plane with a parachute or with an empty backpack at its current altitude and speed. Yes, this […]
When it comes to weight loss and exercise, we’re always looking for an edge such as burning more fat at rest or during exercise. Bitter orange is an herb that contains p-synephrine, a reputed booster of fat metabolism while you’re at rest. A small study tested p-synephrine, caffeine, and both together to see the effects […]
In this week’s Memos, I’ll review several studies—not large clinical trials, but studies that make you think about possibilities and direction. The first update is a case study on polycystic ovary system (PCOS) and ground flaxseed. A registered nurse attending a conference I addressed last weekend called it to my attention. Ground flaxseed is something […]
