Baseball is played on a diamond. The empty can rattles the loudest. Health is wealth. Crypto crazied.










I’m 61. Husband, father, friend. Writer, photographer, health coach. I don’t currently take any prescription medications. I believe lifestyle is the foundation of health, fitness, and quality of life. I’m not anti-prescription. I’m against using prescriptions as a substitute for thoughtful lifestyle choices. And I’m skeptical of one-size-fits-all “solutions” that don’t fully weigh costs and benefits. I also avoid blocking people I can learn from—even when I disagree, even when I find their tone off-putting. There’s usually something I can learn from even the most arrogant people.


I'm 36. I'm a physician. I take a statin—and ezetimibe—every day. No symptoms. No cardiac history. Just an honest read of the evidence. Here's what I found—and why I stopped waiting for a reason to act.
