So when will you lose your health? – Part 3 – When you don’t know this
Every day we read of a new study that says “This is bad for you” and “This is good for you”. No wonder when it comes to taking control of our health, we are confused by science. I read a … Continue reading
The Great Return – Part 4 – The Inquisition and why it always fails
First they ignore you – then they laugh at you – then they fight you – then you win. Today I am going to explore how we are about to experience all of this as we see the power of … Continue reading

Why did we stray so far from our Evolutionary Best Fit?
I think this quote is the best answer I can find: Consider the feature common to all of the above: we have chosen comfort and short-term convenience over the option presented to us by our genome and the Pleistocene environment … Continue reading

Why are we so fat in rural areas – Part 4 – We don’t fit the culture
In this last post of this series, I will explore the downside and the upside of our special tribal Gael and First Nations culture in rural Canada and America. We have seen that there are many physical reasons why those who … Continue reading
Why are people in rural setting fat – Part 2 – Because our friends are – It’s Social!
For reasons that we are exploring in this series, there are environmental reasons why people who live in rural settings tend to be more overweight than those living in urban settings. But there are social environmental factors as well. And I … Continue reading

Your mind and your health – Part 3 – How do we change deep rooted thoughts/habits?
So how do we change? Is it as simple as knowing what is true? Not for deep change. I can hear you even from here. “But I can’t change my habits” or “Just telling me to think differently is not enough” … Continue reading
