Skincare From the Inside Out Through ALA Supplementation
I once knew a young model who paid $400 an ounce for skin cream. When I asked her why she chose that particular cream, she said, “It’s the best.” When I asked her how she knew it was the best, her answer was “because it’s the most expensive”.
When I looked at the ingredients, I was able to make a rough estimate their total cost, which was about $.70 per ounce. I would love to sell something that cost $.70 for $400, but my conscience would never let me go there. But let me share something with you that may help you to both look and function better, inside and out for a whole lot less money.
One of my favorite

Testosterone Levels Are Related to Heart Attacks
A low normal testosterone level may increase your risk of dying from a heart attack.
126 men who were admitted to the intensive care unit for fresh heart attacks had their testosterone levels evaluated. These men were then followed for the next 30 days to see how they did. 16 men died, and 110 men survived. However, 100% of the men who died had testosterone levels in the bottom 25 percentile of the normal range. Their testosterone was not low. In fact, it was within a range in which there are a few American doctors who would recommend testosterone supplementation, but everyone who died was within that low normal range.
Once more, we have good evidence that being normal is not enough. Where you are within the normal range can make the difference in living and dying. As I keep saying, normal is not acceptable. Shoot for optimal.

Spend Your Money on Something Other Than Your Annual Checkup
The annual medical checkup is worthless.
You have probably heard that you should go to your doctor at least once a year to get your annual checkup. But a recent meta-analysis of 14 large studies demonstrated that annual exams seem to have no significant impact on your health or survival. In fact, serious questions were raised about not just the unnecessary cost of the yearly routine physical, but about both the cost and harm being done to people due to over diagnosis and treatment of conditions that are found during the exams.
It seems that people who seldom or never get their annual physicals develop serious conditions, get hospitalized or die, at about the same rate as those who do. People who do go for their annual physicals spend a lot more money on both medications and medical care during their lifetime. But they are no healthier!
Spend your money with a comprehensive and preventative clinic like Longevity Medical Clinic. We believe we

Women: Be Blunt with Your Man
It drives men crazy when a woman says, “well, if I have to tell you,” but here’s a newsflash – you do need to tell us.
The brains of men and women function very differently. We do not perceive ourselves or the world around us in the same way. Women are extremely good at interpreting body language and nonverbal social cues. We men are only good at recognizing potential threats. Men are pretty much hopeless when it comes to recognizing the social and emotional needs of a woman.
It’s not that we are trying to ignore you. It’s not that we don’t care. We just stink at nonverbal communication.
If you want the man in your life to know something, tell him. Tell him straight out, in simple words, and be sure you have his attention when you say it. Otherwise, we will miss what you’re trying to convey.
