As I set out this week on the Wednesday morning hike I take with my husband, I realized I’d forgotten to put on my elastic knee supports. We were hiking a steep uneven trail at 7am when it was foggy and damp. I worried about making it to the top with my achy knees but was pleasantly surprised to have no pain at all.We can...

I just completed a road trip between California and Texas, across some of the most remote parts of the country. Without my large cooler stuffed with fruit, nuts, pre-made salads and hard-boiled eggs, we’d have been in dire straits.

Nebulizing with hydrogen peroxide turbo-charges your body’s natural defenses. Your Body’s Perfect Immune Booster Hydrogen Peroxide (HP), known chemically as H2O2, is basically a water molecule (H2O) with an extra oxygen atom. It...
Read MoreWhen you’ve left your corporate job of 25 years with hundreds of colleagues across the world you work with daily, it can be a lonely road to start out on your own. Writing is an isolating sport. Even with the independent consulting work I now do, I tend to be the only one in the room that looks at the world as it truly is, based...

With a new wave of survey data recently published by the employee benefit consultants and industry groups, we get some insight into employers’ priorities for their healthcare strategy in 2025 and beyond. But frustratingly none of the highlights include an analysis of what is at the root cause of employee ill health that continues to push healthcare costs higher year on year.After discussing escalating drug...
