From Whole9 South Pacific's Jamie Scott and Dr. Anastasia Boulais. For more of their articles, visit the Whole9 South Pacific blog. Blue Screen of Death, Anyone? Just like your computer, phone, and nearly every other gadget in your life, you come with a factory setting: the way you are programmed to operate and all the software this requires.  Let’s say that your basic factory-set operation requires you to eat only certain foods; move relatively frequently—at times fast, and at other times, … [Read more...]

Take Back the Fun! When Work Takes Over Your Free Time

A guest post from Kate Galliet, founder of Fit For Real Life and owner of ProKine Performance in St. Charles, IL I was talking with my newly-retired mom when she mentioned she was tired and feeling like she wasn’t getting a break. My ears perked up immediately because I’d heard her say those same things when she was working full-time—but I didn’t expect to hear them again once she retired. What was keeping her time from being her own? So I asked her. She explained her daily schedule to me … [Read more...]

The Great Social Experiment

By Melissa Hartwig, who reminds you she is an introvert AND  from the East Coast Let’s start out by saying I’m from New Hampshire, where people as a rule do not talk to each other much. Oh, us East Coast folks are polite and nice, but we generally keep to ourselves when dealing with strangers.

Three years ago, we were visiting Dallas' family … [Read more...]

The 400,000 Hour Body

A nice little reminder from the Whole9 archives. Also, we've not read the 4 Hour Body, so can't speak to its contents - we just thought this title played nicely. We get a lot of questions about products, services and protocols that promise miraculous results - improved body composition, fitness, energy or health - with minimal effort. This slant is not new – the lure of a shortcut (or “free lunch”, as Gym Jones calls it) has been the carrot dangling from our health-and-fitness stick since … [Read more...]

Stress Addicts Anonymous (Part 1)

This series of posts was inspired by Dallas and Melissa's very personal experience with stress addiction. From Melissa: "See, at my very core, I am a typical Type-A.  In fact, there were times I considered bumping herself up to a Type AA, because I believed Type A’s were actually kind of lazy. No offense. I'm a perfectionist, but also a procrastinator, and I do my best work when there's a crisis. No crisis? No problem. I'll just create one." (Dallas has far fewer of these tendencies - thank … [Read more...]
