How to Make It to the Final Whistle

Did you watch the Super Bowl? We even got to see it in Africa. It’s such a huge event around the world now… almost as big as the World Cup for soccer, the rest of the world’s version of football. I Was Sure I Was a Goner… I’d heard in the news that chimpanzees in [...]

Your Body Knows Better

Cardio doesn’t work. Modern fitness “experts” have been pushing the idea that cardiovascular endurance training is the only way to get fit. But your body knows better. It’s why you dread that long, boring, painful workout. So don’t do it anymore. I have something better. And it’s the opposite of “exercise.” It’s easy to do, [...]

I Found the Pearl of Africa

I’ve been to some of the most beautiful places on Earth. But I made my home base for my trip to Africa near Kampala, Uganda, because it’s by far the most incredible landscape I’ve ever seen. It’s the heart of Africa, and it’s unique because it’s where the dense, Western forest meets the dry savannah. [...]

Enjoy Fun, Food and Cold Ones at Your Super Bowl Party

The Super Bowl is a truly American tradition that brings families and friends together for a day of good fun and good food. And good beer. Many of the low-carb diets claim that beer has a high-glycemic index and will make you fat. But that’s not necessarily true. I’ll show you why this claim is [...]

Easy Way Out of the Big Fat Mess

Did you hear that Norway ran out of butter? The news media made fun of the “diet craze” that caused the shortage. It seems someone has convinced Norwegians to go on a “high-fat diet” and take in fewer carbs and more protein and fat. If that’s how they eat, I think Norway just moved up [...]

My Grand Entrance

“It’s especially not my style to have you come in to my clinic and feel like you’re in a prison, or that there’s security between you and my staff. “Instead I want a big open space.” I was taking everyone on a tour of the wellness clinic inside my new Sears Center building. I had [...]

The Healers Invited Me, and I’m Humbled

Later this week, I have a meeting with a unique and respected African healer, Dr. Sekagya Yahaya Hills. I wanted to meet with Dr. Sekagya because I identify with him. He’s a doctor of modern medicine, too – a dental surgeon. But he believes nature knows best; he practices traditional healing methods as well. As [...]

I Met the Original Hunters

The gorillas were incredible, and even though I felt sad for them, I’m still happy to be one of the last generations of humans who will ever see them in the wild. We will either have to repopulate them somewhere or we’ll only see them in captivity. Gorillas produce maybe five offspring in their lives, [...]

My Hike Turned Into A Gorilla Chase…

The hike was very strenuous. I was surprised at the steepness of the mountain slope. Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is steep and thick with trees on top of trees and plants. But on this trip I’ve seen by far the most beautiful country of anywhere I’ve been. It exceeds Peru, Brazil and even Bali. Very rugged [...]

How I Got Ready for the African Jungle

I’ve been to some of the most remote and rugged places on Earth. But the Bwindi Impenetrable National Forest here in Africa really lives up to its name. It is the densest jungle I’ve ever encountered. I just got back from my first-ever gorilla trek. I was told it would take all day to hike [...]

Six Swaps For Your Best Health

I’ve seen and read a lot of media stories and advice columns on how to drop weight since the new year began. They all seem to have a lot of warnings about what not to eat. But I don’t think it’s a very good idea to constantly deprive yourself. Even worse, I see a lot [...]

You Never Have To Do Cardio Again

I bet your doctor never told you this… as you age, cells in your lungs start to die off faster than you replace them – causing your lungs to shrink. And here’s the kicker: The smaller your lungs, the greater your chance of dying – of ALL causes.1 But I have proof that it’s completely [...]

It’s Hot in Africa… But I Still Won’t Use This

It’s been almost 90 degrees every day since I got to Africa. I’ll be telling you all about my safari and travels in the coming weeks… But the heat reminds me of something important I wanted to talk to you about. Because as hot as it is, I still won’t use commercial antiperspirants. I won’t [...]

This One Thing Could Make 2012 Your Year

We all know the facts about New Year’s resolutions. Half of all Americans make a New Year’s resolution, but: by the end of the first week, 25% will break it 3 out of 4 people almost never succeed in keeping their resolutions only half will keep their resolutions for even six months only 10% will [...]

My Tropical Island Tea

All around me was the greenest green I’d ever imagined, spilling over with flowers and vines and herbs in every direction.

Bali is the lushest place I’ve ever been, with plants on top of plants, and flowers and herbs everywhere.

It was a perfect day outside – sunny and not too hot.

My guide and new friend Westi was sitting with me in a kind of covered shelter with a big brown picnic table area after our tour of his incredible herb garden.

“You were telling me about holy basil…” I said. “… and you called it…”

What Your Eyebrows May Be Telling You

I’ve helped thousands of women look and feel more beautiful at my clinic over the years.

And I know it’s important to you to keep your eye area looking nice and clean with proper eyebrow grooming.

But there’s something important you should know.
