by Kim Challan
About Me View My Posts
Being "fit" means we need to focus just as much on what's happening on the inside as the outside of our bodies. We are exposed to THOUSANDS of toxic chemicals daily from the time we wake up in our flame retardant bed, shower in our chlorinated water, cook in our non-stick pans, wash our face, our clothes, our dishes in chemicals, eat fruits and veggies with pesticides...the list goes on and on and... 11/19/2014 8:00:00 AM

by Fred Fletcher
About Me View My Posts

I met Michael Gross about four years ago at a favorite local sushi hangout in Oceanside California. I took a seat at the sushi bar and he was sitting right next to me. I did not know who he was, but our mutual friend and sushi chef, Davin Waite, made the introduction. The conversation started easily enough as the man has a lot of compelling things to say. Not really conversation, as I would much... 11/9/2014 10:00:00 PM

Reportedly, these ridiculous (to those who know that Ebola and many other Ebola-like disasters will... 11/5/2014 8:00:00 AM

Wellness Tip: Exercise is touted as one of the most beneficial things you can do for your health. We are bombarded daily with slinky-clad young women on elliptical machines, or buff men pumping iron, and many other forms that frankly tend to intimidate. What if I told you that exercise can be as simple as a morning walk? Simply don your most casual overalls and hit the outdoors. The morning air is... 11/4/2014 10:00:00 PM
