2019-09-24T02:10:27-04:00

Keeping on with the fitness theme this month… I want to share something personal. I’ve been “off track” with my fitness for years now.

Here’s the short list of what I’ve put in motion: *Got an accountability coach *I’m writing out my workout plan (with the help of a trainer) *Putting in my calendar the days and [...]

Tribute To A Legend of Chiropractic

2019-09-17T01:56:17-04:00

Sad topic today. Last month, a legend of the chiropractic profession passed away, Dr. Franco Columbu.             Franco is perhaps best-known as Arnold Schwarzenegger’s best friend and training partner.  But he himself was no slouch.  A champion bodybuilder in his own right, and twice Mr. Olympia winner, he also competed in the first ever World’s Strongest Man competition in 1977 and got 5th. Watch him help with a little parking “situation” in this iconic short clip from Pumping Iron: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hnPwR3QcCU&feature=youtu.be Of course, he was a fellow chiropractor too. What I and many of my colleagues are [...]

2018-11-04T14:31:06-05:00

While all people need to focus on getting the right nutrients in their body, men and women can have some variances in what they need for their specific gender.
