The Sounds of Obesity

I remember the fad of the record album of my college days that gave potheads- of which I was NOT one (really, ask anyone on my freshman floor) – a mellow thrill: recordings of the humpback whales. Stoned, they’d express youthful ‘wows’ as if the combination of science and THC took them to another level.Read More

Yo-Yo Dieting Isn’t All Bad If….

A recent article in the WaPo sent shivers down the spines of many dieters as it used valid, peer-reviewed research to back up its headline that yo-yo diets are counterproductive. But it only told part of the story. Essentially, referring to a few articles, the author noted that yo-yo diets often lead to a cycleRead More

Calories, Disease, Exercise…and Longevity

This blog has every intention to summarize the health care crisis faced by modern and third world people resulting from the ready availability of cheap calories and sedentary living. One simple article in HealthNewsCanal (http://www.healthcanal.com/metabolic-problems/obesity/58073-obesity-may-…) used mathematical modeling to determine the effect of being overweight or obese on longevity and, uniquely, “healthy-life years”. By wayRead More

This was my very first experience with a private gym and personal trainer. The owner and trainer made me feel very comfortable and at home. The gym is very clean and well equipped. I felt the price was VERY well worth the time attention I received. I will return once my work schedule becomes more predictable.
