I HOPE your holidays were filled with love It's time to start working on 2026. Here is your first homework assignment to make 2026 our best year ever. EXHALE YOUR DESIRES The first tool to use to discover your priority desires is to exhale them onto paper. In essence, make a bucket list. Start with the First Strand, the ME Strand. Then, after you have exhausted everything you desire for your body, health, and mind, move to the US Strand. That strand is all about the people you love: your spouse, children, parents, and even your closest friends, because sometimes we love friends more than anyone else. The US Strand is our inner circle. Once you have exhaled all your desires for the US Strand on paper, move to the THEM Strand, your outer circle. You love them, but not in the same way as your inner circle. They include those involved with your career, such as your co-workers and customers. In my case, it would be the clients I coach, my service club co-members, acquaintances, etc. The THEM Strand is our outer circle Finally, move to the Fourth Strand, HIM. The best definition of this strand is: What is God's purpose for you? We are all on this planet for some reason. Mine is to write and positively affect as many as possible. The HIM Strand encompasses all. Another way to think of the four intertwined strands of Life is to think of them as concentric rings. The inner ring is ME, the next concentric ring is US, the next concentric ring is THEM, and the outer ring is HIM. Each ring brings in more and more people. We begin with the inner ring, which is just about you, and work your way to the outer ring, which holds all people. "Doc, how many desires do you want me to write for each ring?" There is no limit. Keep writing until nothing comes to mind regarding that ring, then move to the next strand/ring. Once you get into the flow of what you want, writing fifty or more desires for your inner strands would not be unusual. The Fourth Strand, HIM, usually only has one to three main intentions. Do it today, because you don't want to fall behind when it comes to a successful 2026. At least exhale everything you want to Have for the ME-Strand. Do it now and do it right. Once you have completed the ME-Strand desires, move to the other strands one at a time, completing the Us-Strand, then the THEM-Strand, and last the HIM-Strand. Prove to yourself that you have the discipline to complete this exercise, because if you don’t have the discipline to take the first step, where you arrive, no one will know, and you may arrive nowhere.

I have practiced hormone and weight optimization for over forty-five years. I retired 10 years ago; at least, that is what I thought. When I retired, my wife and I owned and operated several medical clinics specializing in hormone and weight optimization. We discovered that as a woman enters menopause, her hormones become disrupted, causing many women to gain weight rapidly, and no matter what they do, not be able to lose it. If that has happened to you, text me at 209-345-9799. I have found that those who text me are serious about creating the body they desire. Once I receive your text, I will find a convenient time for you to speak with me. During our conversation, I will customize a gourmet weight loss menu for you, and tweak it until it works. Our menus have no caloric restrictions or frequency of meals. There is no charge! 👍 Doc
IF YOUR KNEES FEEL OLD —YOU FEEL OLD She finagled the last weed out of her succulent garden. It was stubborn — her fingers clamped around it, and she rocked back, just a little, using her weight until it gave. She tossed it into her weed bucket, an old five-gallon Tide container, then peered in at the wilted pile. "The weather's changing," she told them, "and soon your kin will go dormant like me. My knees will finally get a reprieve." She planted both hands on her thighs and tried to push up...
"You live as long as your waist is small." Optimal Body Composition StrandThe HOPE Protocol 1 THING TO KNOW Stop eating earlier tonight. Not less. Not perfectly. Just earlier. One of the simplest experiments you can run for your weight is to create a longer stretch between your last bite tonight and your first bite tomorrow. 1 THING TO DO For the next seven days, try this: Finish dinner before 7 PM. Then close the kitchen. No evening grazing. No handful of nuts while watching television. No...
If you want to Live Younger, Longer, here's one small thing to try this week. THE LIVE YOUNGER, LONGER HACK #1 This week's focus: HORMONES 1 THING TO KNOW Get outside within an hour of waking up. Not behind a window. Not staring at your phone next to a sunny window. Actually go outside. Your body uses morning light as one of the signals that tells your internal clock: The day has begun. And that matters more than most people realize. 1 THING TO DO Tomorrow morning, go outside for 10 minutes...
