In my many years as a leadership strategist, I have found that two things can destroy a leader’s credibility faster than you can say “promotion denied.” These two cardinal sins are ghosting and a lack of follow-through. These leadership don’ts can significantly tarnish how others see you and are central to whether anyone can or […]
Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is rapidly becoming one of my go-to supplements. However, whether I’m teaching physicians or non-health professionals, I find that most people are still unfamiliar with it. Today, I aim to change that, because PEA has so much to offer. Palmitoylethanolamide is a naturally occurring substance that has garnered significant interest in various health […]
In our search for truth and accuracy, many individuals often find themselves hindered by cognitive biases that impede their ability to discard inaccurate information and progress their knowledge. I contend that if we can gain a deeper understanding of the obstacles to intellectual growth, we can also develop strategies to overcome them. So, today, I […]
With my security management background and previous field experience (in my previous life), I am sometimes asked about the best practices for password creation and maintenance. Such questions have increased in frequency in recent years due to artificial intelligence and the seemingly endless scams that have flooded the internet in recent years. However, despite the […]
Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes muscle weakness and fatigue. It happens when the immune system mistakenly attacks the communication between nerves and muscles. In a healthy body, nerves send signals to muscles using a chemical called acetylcholine. In MG, antibodies interfere with these signals by attacking the acetylcholine receptors or […]
The recent attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump has merely demonstrated how deep-seated cognitive biases and social dynamics can shape how individuals interpret and respond to information. In many ways, this situation provides us with a stark illustration of what I’m now calling Mass Epistemic Rigidity. Indeed, this article runs the risk of being […]
Are you or someone you know suffering from eczema or psoriasis but also struggling to find answers? Are things just not ‘adding up?’ Is it possible that our underlying assumptions about such conditions have been flawed? If so, then there is a good chance that we are simply not asking the right questions. From an […]
Our brains, like our muscles, require regular exercise to stay strong and healthy. Engaging in deliberate learning activities can significantly enhance brain function, keep the mind sharp, and prevent mental decline. Define irony in the idea that we live in an age where education is becoming less of a priority, our diet is worse than […]
Officers in law enforcement and security often face complex and rapidly evolving situations requiring up-to-date knowledge and flexible thinking. However, like many professionals, law enforcement officers can fall prey to cognitive biases that make it difficult to update their knowledge and practices. This phenomenon, known as Epistemic Rigidity, can significantly impact their effectiveness, adherence to […]
Microbial Diversity! You’ve probably heard the term, but what does it mean and how important is it, really? Well, if your health matters, this topic should matter as well. The gut plays a significant role in our immune system and overall health. In fact, much of our immunity resides in or derives from our gut. […]
