    Smile More, Just Like JD

    We were taking a break during filming for my new POWERFit program and JD started to tell me his story…

    “I was on the Canadian National Water Ski team for five years. After that, I kept eating but not working out.

    “I gained more than 30 pounds. I went from 155 pounds to 187. I would maybe try some workout for two weeks, then stop, then start again. Traditional stuff, weightlifting, cardio… nothing was working.

    “I even tried CrossFit. It’s one of those insane workout programs. I couldn’t get through any of the exercises.

    Is There a Jamaican ‘Blue Zone’?

    Is There a Jamaican ‘Blue Zone’?

    The other day I was walking through the cemetery in Portland, Jamaica, when I noticed something interesting. We were there because the grandmother of my friend, A.D., had passed away. But I couldn’t help notice the grave markers. Everyone had lived into their 80s or 90s.
