Sometimes, it’s difficult enough to get motivated to go to the gym. But, over the years I have realized it is better to focus on a couple of muscles and target areas of the body per day rather than working out everything every day.

For example, when I first started off in the gym, I didn’t really have any direction so I would hop on any mac…[Read more]

This week, I discussed how I preferr to be in isolation. Most of my time, I am by myself and at home. I don’t enjoy going out as much and have realized how essential isolation is to recharging my batteries and accomplishing goals that I have for myself.

If you live in Southern California or are willing to travel to Los Angeles, there will be a scientific symposium about FA, the research being done, progress on clinical trials and updates on future trials and treatments.

It’s a great way to put a face to the pharmaceutical companies that handle these clinical trials and possibly the next a…[Read more]

One of the best gifts that I received last Christmas was a Fitbit. It does everything for me, it keeps track of my heart rate 24/7, how many steps I have walked and it even tracks my body during sleep. It lets me know how often I dream and how often I’m awake. It’s actually pretty cool.

Most importantly for me, it keeps track of my wor…[Read more]

But in the states where it is illegal at the moment, it does cause problems for those who need medical…[Read more]

When it comes to working out, it can already be tough enough getting motivated to go to the gym. When I first started working out, certain factors deterred me from the gym. I still have my hesitations about a few things when I am at the gym but I don’t let it stop me from going.

Some people take a lot of vitamins and I know some people that don’t take any at all. I take a multivitamin and biotin as well as my clinical trial medication. I also gave most of my nutrients from the super green powder I drink in the morning.

What vitamins do you take?

For the past two months, I have been taking greens powder’s in the morning. It’s a bunch of vegetables, herbs as high antioxidant fruits that are dried and ground up into a powder. You add water and boom. You have your serving of vegetables and fruits/nutrients for the day.

You would expect the powder to have a weird taste but the ones that I hav…[Read more]

Do you have leg cramps? Do you have any remedies?

Over the weekend, I went up to the cabin with my family for some snow and quality time. I got to talking with a family member of mine and we were discussing why we smoke in general.
