Interleaving - Learn better

Interleaving is a technique suggested for learning. If you have never heard the term, dig in; it is both fascinating as a methodology and its applicability in living a complete and healthy life.

Interleaving is the process by which you study or learn more than one subject at a time. So take my ten-year-old son. Instead of him studying geography or history separately, both subjects are interwoven together.

He learns about the history of places and everything that happened there. The geography of the place—location, altitude, access, soil conditions, perhaps crops—drives his study of the history of the place.

Another example of interleaving, also used in schools, is using time chunks to learn. So we learn about history through epochs, or time periods. So what does all of this have to do with your health and longevity?

Simple! Your body already functions collectively as a whole. It does not understand the respiratory, circulatory, and digestive systems as separate parts. It does not understand the stress you feel in your life, separate from the stress you feel when you are deficient in nutrients. Your body understood the value of "interleaving" much before humankind came up with the concept.

So if you want to learn to live a long, healthy, and happy life, learn about the way you function across disciplines. You might ask what these are.

Nutrition, physical activity, removing toxicity, ensuring sleep or rest and repair, understanding your breath, and achieving stillness are, in my opinion, the most important. It is all, not some. I meet people regularly who ask for tips—a quick fix to get to the next destination.

Use the concept of interleaving to start understanding how breath affects stillness and how stillness affects nutrition. Use interleaving to understand how sleep affects toxicity and physical activity affects sleep. Your body is a collective. Your knowledge about it should be as well.

Sensors - the future

Sensors are devices that detect a change. Light, sound, or smoke, for example. But what might the future of sensors hold for your personal health? Most of us have used simple sensors. Temperature gauge. Blood pressure. But in the not-too-distant future, we might scoff at these simple devices. Let us

Reversal or Remission?

We have come a long way. About a decade ago, when I started my amazing health transformation, most of the people I met were skeptics. The thrust of the argument I would hear would be that there was no way to reverse a disease. In essence, diseases were a one

But then he died

I was recently reading a book on beating cancer. The author outlined the steps he had taken to beat grade III colon cancer successfully. Then I realized he had recently died of cancer. Naturally, my first instinct was to question everything he had said. He had rejected chemotherapy. He had

Preferences - do you have any?

Quick, tell me what your preferences are for food. Ok, at least think of things you like. What if I told you that you do not really have any preferences? What if I told you that your preferences are malleable depending on the circumstances and what you are being told
