  • Daylight Saving Time Is Ending, Reset Your Internal Clocks

    For the past century, the opinion on daylight saving time (DST) has been sharply divided between those who support it and those who oppose it. Funny thing, though: Both sides are still not exactly sure what it does. What started as an energy conservation trick became a national standard in the 1960s. With small exceptions (Arizona, Hawaii and three others), it hasn’t budged much ever since. 

  • Headaches, Heartburn, Hip Pain? It Could Be Your Posture

    Are you standing up straight? Are you sitting correctly? We’ve all heard about the importance of good posture, but most of us eventually forget or dismiss the advice.

  • Why Avoiding the Doctor is Men’s #1 Health Problem

    From June 9 to 18, Dr. Parekattil and I drove across the country in an electric Tesla for the third annual Drive for Men’s Health, a 10­-day, 6,000-mile, coast-­to-­coast journey that took us from Orlando to Atlanta, Washington DC, New York City, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Chicago, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles. As we made these stops, we’ve engaged many men in face-to-face conversations about their health and what they can do to improve it. We also used social media throughout our road trip to engage our followers in much-needed conversation about men’s health issues.
