Broken heart syndrome (BHS) has several names, such as stress-induced cardiomyopathy. One you’ve probably never heard is takotsubo cardiomyopathy. BHS is similar to other forms of cardiomyopathy in that the heart gets significantly weaker. If you view the appearance of the heart during echocardiography, the bottom of the heart, specifically the left ventricle, is weaker […]
This week’s focus is on American Heart Month and specifically heart disease in women. While heart disease is the leading cause of death in both men and women, there’s one type of heart disease that affects more women than men: broken heart syndrome. Can you die from a broken heart? Absolutely. We’ll find out how […]
On the radio, I heard a woman say, “I just want things to be the way they used to be!” That mirrors the frustration that I read from emails people send about being older. I don’t necessarily mean those over 60; I get the same type of frustration from 30-year-olds who find that their bodies […]
“Make sure you define the disease; it doesn’t define you.” That quote is from physician Dr. Louis Papa in a video I recently watched. What a powerful statement. While the discussion was about heart disease, he said it applies to any disease. We all have health challenges; you won’t escape. Even if you have the best […]
Tom Brady is the best quarterback in the history of the National Football League. Ouch—that’s tough for a guy from Buffalo to say, but after this past weekend, it’s true. I talked about how his dedication to training and attention to detail give him the energy and focus to perform. But after all the training, […]
Another class of energy thieves is medications. This may not apply to everyone but based on the latest CDC stats, close to 50% of all American adults take at least one prescription drug and almost one-quarter take three medications or more. There are three ways medications can steal your energy when you need it to […]
This week I’m focusing on potential energy thieves, and I’ve identified three areas that can hinder performance; one of those is the foods we eat. The two primary food thieves that affect me and many others are refined carbohydrates and deep-fat fried food, but the reasons are polar opposites: Refined carbohydrates and some starchy foods […]
The study of time management began before the turn of the last century, but technology has changed dramatically since then; from home to the office, we have more timesaving devices than ever before. So why are we not more productive? Why do we still not have the time to eat better and exercise?
You could go the blame route and say you need to manage time better; there are more books written on that topic than almost anything else on the self-help category. I'm all for reading books that help us think and keep us focusing on our . . .

Let's look at how technology helps us be productive today. It's important to understand that computers, smart phones, and tablets have been commonplace for at least five years. How're you doing with all this tech to help you be productive? You should have been able to shave some time to prepare better meals and grab a workout.
You have apps that separate and categorize your email. You have calendar apps that can help you schedule your appointments and give you reminders. You have watch apps that will pay for your groceries and even track your steps, heart . . .

Do you feel like you want to eat better and exercise, but you don't have the time? That's why I'm focusing on productivity this week. I always tell you to eat less, eat better, and move more, but those last two may take more time than you're currently able to give them. Where can we get that extra time? That sent me into researching the fascinating field of workplace productivity.
The current state of modern productivity can be traced back to Frederick Taylor in the late 1890s through early 1900s. He was constantly frustrated by co . . .
