Boomer freedom is a destination

It is always better to start on a journey with the end in mind. Our core beliefs serve us well in the pursuit of the journey’s end, but they also prop us up when we’re thrown off course by life events and circumstances. Here is a short video of my thoughts on freedom and life. Enjoy. done

Is Sugar Going to Kill Me?

I just had a bowl of cereal and put so much sugar on it, I’m glad no one was watching! I am worried enough about it to mention it here, but probably should really think about changing my ways soon. If Drs. Don Underwood and Jennifer Gentry Calvo were here, I think I’d have some explaining to do!

The topic of sugar being way too prevalent in our food supply was but one of the health issues we discussed when they were on our show. Apparently we consume about 4-5 pounds of sugar a week — that’s before you put extra sugar on the cereal, mind you!

The good doctors spent an hour with us and described the various modalities they employ to support good health in as natural a way as possible. Dr. Don also discussed the weight-loss protocol he is using that is producing excellent results for men and women alike. Dr. Jennifer, who specializes in women’s health and wellness, highlighted her community talks on issues like menopause, chronic fatigue and thyroid problems.

Doctors, best wishes on the occasion of your first anniversary (last month)! You are welcome on the show again to talk about boomer health and quality of life. I look forward to a discussion around something we said in this show about the processed foods we eat and the toxic cleaning supplies we use: “New and improved is not necessarily good for you!”

Calling All Mavens

A maven is defined as one who is “dazzlingly skilled in a given field” — most boomers have enough life experience to pick a field and proclaim their own mavenness! And frankly, if you’re not feeling dazzling or particularly skilled enough at something to call yourself an expert, rest assured that listening to boomer talk radio or reading boomer-directed blogs, books and articles just might spur you on to find the next “cool” thing you’re going to do.

The Boomer and The Babe Show is the place to tune in for timely conversations about boomer interests: health, wealth, fitness, family, relationships, travel and more. A recent show (Tuesday, August 19) featured Leigh Strickman of Accurate-Leigh-Done Taxes. Leigh is an enrolled agent (tax maven) and helps clients plan and pay taxes to their best advantage as prescribed by law and the tax code.
