I am so glad to have stimulated your curiosity! After all, you are checking out this site to either learn about me, my take on health, or my radio show HEALTH MATTERS.

My take on health, you ask?!
Like it or not, we are in charge of our own health. When we decide to start our own family, we also play a major role in the health of our children. With that said, putting off health not only damages our own well being, but also the well being of our offspring. An unhealthy child grows up to be an unhealthy adult and an unhealthy adult will make unwise decisions (A healthy mind is in a healthy body, right?). With America being the world’s biggest spender on health care with less than 5% of the world population residing here, you’d think we’d rank as the #1 healthiest nation, right? WRONG! Healthcare has become a big business in the country hiding under the mask of “innocence and care”. True health is not one dimensional, it is not one specialty vs another. True health does not mean not-sick, it does not mean being pain-free. True health is only achieved when respecting nature, understanding that our “innate intelligence”, the intelligence within, is the smartest of all technology, all medicines and all potions, pills and lotions that are shoved down our throats. True health is an equilateral triangle made up of structural, nutritional and emotional sides. One does NOT out rank the other and without one, true health is sub-optimal.
Let me tell you about my radio show, HEALTH MATTERS. Its purpose is to expose you to all that are filtered OUT from the standard TV and Radio shows. You will hear an interview with an expert alternating with answering your emails and exploring the news that never made it to headlines certainly not because they were unimportant.
As for what health is all about, you’ve got to listen to the show with an open mind, absorb and examine what you hear, and stop procrastinating. Your number one investment in life is not your children, it is not your colorful portfolio, it is your HEALTH. As Budda beautifully stated: “Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I said it, unless it agrees with your own reason or your own common sense.” I invite you to keep this in mind at all times, while reading what I write, listening to Health Matters, watching TV, listening to the ‘standard’ radio shows, visiting your health care professionals and EVERYTHING else.
Don’t feel frustrated with how far behind in health you may be. Remember the Japanese philosophy of ‘Kaizen’ which is, one improvement, one day at a time!
Take control of your health!
