Year: 2010

The movie “Forks Over Knives” is like Mark Twain’s description of golf: A Good Walk, Spoiled. The documentary film starts from a great premise — eat real food and you can reverse many of the chronic diseases we see in our dismal culture of health. Love it. That said,...

I'm at the advance screening for the upcoming documentary, Forks Over Knives. It will be released in March of 2011. The picture is of the narrator who also has a book called the Engine 2 Diet. I hate being such a skeptic, and I really am willing to be...

The talk last night was great. There’s something that I really love about being in front of people and blathering away about the topics that I’m passionate about. In this case, you should have seen these wonderful people, who were all so laser-focused on making sure they can live...

I’m speaking this afternoon at the Cancer Survivorship Conference this afternoon. I love speaking because it’s like reaching people and making a difference for them. Of all the silly things I do in my day, that part is the aspect I love the most. You know what else is...

It’s funny how little things can take the wind out of you some times. I’m working with a wonderful organization, Magee Women’s Hospital (love them), to bring our program to cancer survivors, menopausal women, and bariatric patients. It’s a top-shelf, absolutely first class organization. But in our first attempt...

How do we get Americans to eat a Mediterranean style diet? Check out these new data showing (again) that this approach is associated with: 1. Reduction in all mortality 2. Lower cancer 3. Lower heart disease What do we have to do? We know this approach works, because we...

Today on the show I’m talking about the Island food, what they eat, blah blah blah. * FDA says that Franken Fish is A-okay, expect Super Salmon in a store near you soon.* The Health Care Changes you hate to love (if you’re a business).* Honey smuggling through China:...

I was on KDKA-TV this morning, talking with my friend Jon Burnett about cancer fighting foods: 1. What they are … 2. What makes them so healthy … 3. And why the colors are so important. Hope you enjoy. Please share this with your friends!! Will For more information:...

Liat Airlines is awful. Just awful. The flight to Grenada is delayed, so we will be a bit late for our St Vincent connector, which they refuse to hold for us. We are told that there is no way out. So we are getting a flight to Barbados then...

This is not throw up. It was our lunch yesterday at a wonderful local restaurant. I had pumpkin, callaloo (their version of spinach), and a goat curry. It was brilliant, included a Carib beer, and cost me a whopping 10$. Always eat where the locals eat!! This is what...

This pic (below) is from the Dodgy Dock restaurant at the resort. It has decent food, but this is our last morning here!! Woot!! Hurricane Earl turned north, Fiona was tailgating Earl and because of thy has become diffuse and disorganized. Today: puddle jump from Grenada to San Juan...

No flights northbound today. We are stuck here until tomorrow. So, to compensate for this delay, we are going to take a tour of the island, including a rum factory and a chocolate making plant. We were told that seeing the rum plant may be a bit like watching...
