According to some estimates microorganisms in our bodies out number our own cells by as much as 10 to 1.

Our bodies are home to trillions of microbes, the largest number of which are found in our gut.

What is our gut and what does it do?

A buddy and client of mine travels extensively, often finding himself in nutrition deserts or with very limited access to personal time or a gym.

He's also a very silly dude, so I find myself often answering very specific questions OR hypothetical questions on how to best navigate an ever-changing  set of environmental challenges.

If you were an astronaut who only had 30 days before heading to space... ?

This one is fun and informative.  I'd love to hear your answers as well.

Take a listen.

Let me start by saying that the woman in this story failed herself.

She failed in her responsibility to manage her health, and her family is left in sorrow.

Now that I've said that, I feel more free to say that this woman was also failed BY the healthcare system.  A culturally responsive pedagogical approach was required to effectively teach her how to make changes that could ease her treatment...

That wasn't what we hear in this story.

”What is the difference between a fruit and a vegetable?”

In this episode of Coach Be: Daily, I’m going to attempt to explain the difference between fruits and vegetables, and draw a delineation between the two the makes sense.

There can be a little guesswork involved with what makes a fruit a fruit and a vegetable a vegetable, and a fair amount of crossover between the two categories depending on whether you’re a botanist, a nutritionist, or a chef. 

Let's see if we can make heads or tails of the issue...

I was recently speaking with a class at the University of Washington on topics including nutrition and wellness.  

During the Q&A, a muslim student asked how he could balance his observation of Ramadan with maintaining his hard earned progress in the gym. Well, this is right up my alley.  Not only have I worked with clients on this  issue before, but one of my former students has built on the work we've done together and is being recognized for his ketogenic experiments during Ramadan. 

He is author Daanish Faruqi, and he was kind enough to call in from Jordan to share his approach on Coach Be: Daily.

Blue Zones are the are areas around the world where the highest concentration of centenarians live. That’s means people who live to be over 100 years old.  

By studying the commonalities of these communities, we can reverse engineer our own longevity and make pointed changes in our lives that can net us additional YEARS of healthy living. 

Today we’re discussing the importance of our tribe…  

The people with whom we share our lives.

This story is a classic, that comes up from time to time and is recalled with emotion by my friends who experienced it.  

As with many great experiences, there is a lesson to be learned.  Funny enough, we can all forget those lessons at times and need a friendly reminder.  I got mine this morning.

They say the good players learn from their own mistakes, and the great players learn from the mistakes of others.  Here's an opportunity for you to go from good to great, learning from my misstep.

As we age, our tastes change.

At times we may age ourselves out of the fashions, art, and music of our youth.  You could find yourself listening to your parent's music before you know it.

I'm proud to see the growth of MY Hip-Hop icons and their ability to bring to the conversation issues that are age appropriate.

I returned from a week of drinking A LOT of green mint tea, to this headline...

“Drinking very hot tea almost doubles risk of cancer, new study says” was the headline on CNN.

Is it true?  Here's what you need to know.
