Everybody wants to get the most out of their workout. And if you have specific health goals that you want to achieve, exercise is likely a key component to making them a reality.

Once the gold standard, Body Mass Index (BMI) is commonly used as a health indicator. Introduced in the early 19th century by a mathematician (not a physician), its intended use was as a quick way to estimate obesity. Over the decades, BMI morphed into a number that gets far more weight than it deserves. And in many cases, it’s doing more harm than good. Dr. Dan and Angela aren’t pulling any punch...

Hormones are chemical messengers that your body uses to signal an innumerable amount of processes in your body.  And when your hormones are not in harmony, your body will let you know (usually in the form of nagging symptoms – headaches, weight gain, chronic fatigue, lack of libido – until you figure out what to do about it). And because the job of hormones is so vast, finding that answer is often...

Quality Sleep is one of the cornerstones to overall health. When you sleep, your body has time to heal and restore itself.

The role of sleep posture in a good night’s sleep should not be overlooked. It’s one of the qui...

But you’ve been lied to – and your health is suffering because of it. So we’re tackling t...
