The prevailing medical model in the US is for us to wait until we become ill, see a doctor and take whatever drugs the doctor prescribes to treat our symptoms. Most people never question how they came to be ill or what might be done to bring them back to health. Instead we blindly do what the doctor tells us to do. This keeps the doctors busy and makes the drug company’s rich but most of the time it does not make us healthy.

What we need to do instead is to first take responsibility for our own health. We need to be proactive. We need to exercise regularly even if walking is the most you can do. We need to continually ask ourselves if we are eating the right foods, drinking the right beverages, taking the right supplements.

Most of us will not become perfectly compliant or healthy overnight. These lifestyle modifications are extremely difficult and take time but small changes made over a long period of time will make a big difference in our health and longevity.

As a practicing pharmacist, I see too many people taking far too many drugs. Customers come to me all day long and ask “What can I take for _______?”. They want a quick fix, not a solution. I try to give them sound advice meant to help them understand what caused the problem, how to treat the symptoms for the short term, but also how make changes to avoid the same problem from occurring in the future.

My goal for this website is to provide education to you, my friends, to help you understand how the body works, what it needs to achieve and maintain optimal health and vitality. Over time I plan to write articles, interview experts and to do whatever else it takes to help you achieve your goals.

For now, in order to provide for my family, I’ll have to keep my job as a pharmacist with a national chain but my goal is to help enough of you to be able to afford to leave that job within the next 2 years and devote full time to helping you. That would make me truly happy.

Please come back to my site regularly, subscribe to the RSS feed, tell your friends and family and let me know what you would like to see, hear and learn by leaving comments about articles and responding to my questions.

Until next time, To Your Good Health!
