by David Greenwalt Thanksgiving History In 1621, after a hard and devastating first year in the New World the Pilgrim’s fall harvest was very successful and plentiful. There was corn, fruits, vegetables, along with fish which was packed in salt, and meat that was smoke cured over fires. They found they had enough food to…
“Davisms” I find myself saying frequently are: Negative isn’t the only truth. AND Keep the baby in with the bathwater. First, “Negative isn’t the only truth.” Oftentimes we focus intently on what we do wrong and have DONE wrong since the dawn of time. A belief can set in that because our fudge ups are…
by David Greenwalt The premise of the book “Dig Your Well Before You’re Thirsty” is essentially to prepare in advance rather than react in panic with things you know are going to occur. The cold and flu season is here and a good part of what I’m about to share is about setting yourself up…
This diet has become popular via Dr. Phil partnering with the author. Does anyone find it odd that Dr. Phil wrote “The Ultimate Weight Solution” back in 2005 and now he doesn’t even mention his own book as the New Year arrives? Weird.

I’ve said for years now that you cannot hate your body to greatness. The path to significant and sustained weight loss is not paved with stones of self-hatred. In fact the contrary is true if you want to lose weight and keep it off. Hate your calves? Better start making peace with certain things that…
Dr. Christiane Northrup M.D. wrote on her Facebook wall “I want to shout this from the rooftops these days. FAT DOESN’T MAKE YOU FAT! And there is no evidence that it does! Stop the low fat dieting.
