This is a highly efficient way to manage a bee hive. Seems very innovative and something I plan to look into more closely. I will also consult with my resident experts Kris VanSciver.

A very interesting article that may spark controversy related to weight loss, exercise and nutrition.

According to the article our brains stack the deck against long-term sustained ideal weight after you lose lots of weight.

What can we do? Work hard, stay disciplined and remain vigilant about all the pillars of ideal health.

The problem isn’t willpower. It’s neuroscience. You can’t — and shouldn’t — fight back.

Interesting story about juicing. Seems like we should eat our veggies and shift our perception of juicing as a 'magic detox potion'... Thought?

I feel the effects of the sleep deprivation. This Fast Company article is a great reminder of just how bad it is for us...

Getting six hours of sleep a night simply isn't enough for you to be your most productive. In fact, it's just as bad as not sleeping at all.

It's CrossFit Open 2016! And, every athlete seems to get worked up mentally to do the WOD and many times warming up insufficiently for it...

What may be helpful is to do warm ups and cool downs with a partner. That way you become just as disciplined about the mobility and warm up work as the workout itself.

Here's a quick link as a primer for finding partner warm up ideas.

As you hover over your smart phone or tablet, be conscious of how you are seated, slouched and slumped?...
