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. It’s not in our makeup to ask our grocery store clerk how their day is going, or our waitress whether she has any kids.  In fact, I'll tell you a story. Three years ago, we were visiting Dallas' family … [Read more...]

Lies We Tell Ourselves

These behaviors (excessive drug use or drinking) can bring upon bona fide addictions, and literally destroy health, happiness, and quality of life.

How often do you hear people proudly telling others about their obsession with the gym, their … [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...]

whole9 health equation

Since founding the Whole9 in 2009, we've used “our 9” to address the multi-faceted nature of a healthy lifestyle with our consulting clients.  But after developing a great working relationship with Robb Wolf and attending several extraordinary nutrition seminars (including Robb’s), we decided to concentrate our public health focus on nutrition.  Since then, we’ve written extensively about nutrition’s role in a healthy lifestyle over the past several years, and conducted more than 70 Foundations … [Read more...]
