Stronger for Longer: How Exercise Shapes the Path to Longevity

However, it is one of the strongest tools for slowing biological aging. From protecting the heart to sharpening the mind, physical activity impacts every system in the body. For those looking to add both years and vitality to life, regular exercise is essential for healthy aging.

Understanding the Posterior Annular Tear: Your Path to Pain Relief and Healing
If you’ve ever felt a sharp, persistent pain in your lower back, perhaps shooting down your leg, you know how debilitating it can be.

The Origin of the 10,000 Steps Per Day Idea
By: Paul Claybrook, MS, MBA In modern health culture, one of the most common pieces of advice people hear is to aim for 10,000 steps a day. Fitness trackers, apps, and wellness programs all use this benchmark as a daily goal, often presenting it as the gold standard for health. For many, the number has become synonymous with being “active” and “healthy.” But where exactly did this recommendation come from, and does it have any scientific foundation? Surprisingly, the 10,000-step guideline is not grounded in rigorous scientific evidence. Rather, it emerged from marketing, convenience, and the appeal of a nice, round number.

Surviving Surgery
So I survived having half my thyroid removed from my body. It’s kinda crazy to think that I had my throat cut open and something that was a part of my was removed. The only evidence that it was ever there is the nice little scar they left on my neck. I like to joke that you should see the other guy. Even though it was something that was causing me problems, and is a great thing that it is gone, it’s still weird to think about how it is gone. It had been apart of me for my entire life until now. The stiffness in my neck every time I try to move is the only reminder of what I went through. The past life I lived ailed by this thing in my neck that didn’t want me to live a normal life. It’s a weird metaphor I know and maybe i am overthinking this.
