We have always been told that “exercise” is beneficial for our health. The “recommended” amount of exercise, as per the American Heart Association, is 150 minutes per week of “moderate” intensity exercise or 75 minutes a week or 75 minutes a week of “vigorous aerobic exercise” of a combination of both. First, let’s define what […]
Most of us have heard the following motivational statement: When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Lemonade. The intent of this statement: When “bad/negative” things happen to us in life, try to turn this around to something positive. (For any of those frat humor movie fans out there, I laughed lots at Paul Rudd’s line in […]
I recently watched a Netflix documentary entitled “The Most Hated Man On The Internet”. After a sigh of relief learning this was not “Dr. Posner” for spamming all of your inboxes with these boring daily blogs, the story was actually about a very arrogant and abusive young guy that founded a “revenge porn” website in […]
For you older movie fans out there, especially if you like comedies, the flick City Slickers, in my humble opinion, is one of the best. Billy Crystal plays the lead role and the story is about three New York City friends that are at various crossroads in their lives and they travel to a cattle […]

Richelieu, chief minister to King Louis XIII, discovers a plot to kill him, but as a priest he is unable to take up arms against his enemies. His page, […]
Resiliency does not even come close to describing how we have all been able to handle the myriad of negative events we have all been exposed to over the past several years: The Covid pandemic with pretty much everyone getting sick either once or multiple times Losing relatives, friends or colleagues due to the virus […]
There are many reasons why we become motivated to lose/control weight. Most of these reasons are revolving around our “self” needs, such as: Wanting to lower/obviate our need for prescription medication(s) to treat weight-related co-morbidities Wanting to feel a higher level of energy Lowering the amount of pain we feel in our knees, hips and […]
Despite the title of this entry, we will NOT be discussing my favorite baseball team, the N.Y. Mets. I would anger too many of you Yankees, Nationals, Phillies and other fans out there. The “METS” I am referring to has nothing to do with the baseball Mets. I saw a patient several days ago […]
