Fitness trainer Kevin Brown and nutritionist Annette Presley have written a new book called The Liberation Diet about how to lose weight and get healthy eating real food.

We went to see the accupuncturist yesterday. He used an electro-dermal screening machine — a super-high tech thing that tells you everything that is wrong with you. It’s like accupunture combined with a computer. Electrodermal screening works to diagnose disease by measuring the skin’s electrical resistance. It detects energy imbalances along acupuncture meridians. Watching him [...]

I’ve written about maca before but I just can’t say enough about it. I already wrote about what it’s done for my PMS symptoms (eradicated them!). I reported a while back that my temperature has been chronically low. Since April, I’ve been taking Iodoral and adrenal gland to help my thyroid and adrenal glands. I [...]

I finally got our WiiFit set up yesterday. It is AWESOME. Seriously, the coolest thing ever. (OK, since Tivo and the iPhone.) What you do is make an avatar to represent yourself (a Mii — get it, a “me”). You can choose your hair color, eyes, face and body shape, etc. Then you get on [...]
