This episode is the beginning of a major series. I have planned 17 episodes in the series, so this will take us a few weeks into 2021. The subject is dementia. I think it’s important. It affects 50 million people worldwide. But this wouldn’t necessarily convince me to spend so much time on this disease….

An annual physical is essential to optimal health management. If you are fortunate enough to not have any medical problems throughout the year, or any chronic disorders that need to be managed, it at least gives you one meeting with your doctor, in which you can ask any of those nagging questions you have.

Believe it or not, I like going in to see my doctor. For someone who cares enough about health to do a podcast episode every week on it, it’s a chance to get some professional insight and real-life point of view on medicine. Plus he’s just a nice guy. I’ll have a separate episode on…

Last year I counted down the 10 longest-lived people and talked a little about each of them. But the only change since then has been the addition of Kane Tanaka, who is now #6 on the list and moving up, as she is still living. You move up quick on this list. If she lives…

We know what COVID-19 is, the disease caused by the SARS-COV-2 virus. Very serious, very uncomfortable, very infectious.
