D'Angelo We are deeply saddened by the passing of our beloved brother, D’Angelo on October 14th 2025 — the soulful R&B singer whose voice and artistry touched millions around the world. At only 51 years old, his untimely death due to pancreatic cancer reminds us how fragile life is and how important it is to take our health seriously. May God bless his family during this time of loss, and may his legacy live on through the music and light he shared with the world. D’Angelo ga

Shop and Save Many of us never think of food shopping as a science, but it truly is. It requires intelligence, planning, and awareness. Food is a necessity, yet how we shop determines whether it strengthens or weakens our bodies. In today’s world of high prices and processed convenience, learning to shop wisely has become a vital skill for our health and survival. When we walk into the grocery store, the first thing to remember is that the healthiest foods are usually found a

Soup As the fall season arrives, we are blessed to witness the beauty of nature—the colorful leaves, the crisp air, and the comforting change in weather. But while the temperature may cool, our dedication to health and wellness must remain consistent and strong. For many, the cooler months bring the temptation to slip back into unhealthy eating habits. Yet this time of year is the perfect opportunity to embrace one of the most nourishing and versatile foods we can enjoy— soup

Canning In uncertain times, one of the greatest acts of self-reliance is learning how to preserve what we grow and harvest. Our ancestors mastered the art of canning not only to survive but to thrive—keeping their families nourished year-round. Today, this timeless tradition is making a powerful comeback as more people seek natural ways to secure their food supply and reduce dependence on chemically preserved goods. The Wisdom of Our Ancestors Many of us can recall visiting o

Family Readiness Any one of us could find ourselves caught in the crossfire of today’s volatile political and social environment. This is exactly why preparation and survival skills are not optional—they are essential. Our livelihoods, health, and safety can all be challenged without warning, and the best way to protect ourselves and our families is to build resilience through discipline and preparedness. In previous discussions, we highlighted the importance of maintaining g

Women Exercise As a trainer, one of the most common concerns I hear from women is: “If I lift weights, will I become bulky or look manly?” Let’s address the elephant in the room—this belief is completely false.

Men “bulk up” because they naturally have higher levels of testosterone. W

Physical Training for Emergencies When disaster strikes, it rarely gives us time to think. In those moments, our health, strength, and preparation can mean the difference between survival and tragedy. Being physically conditioned is not just about looking fit—it’s about having the stamina to climb to safety, the strength to carry a child out of harm’s way, and the mental focus to react quickly when adrenaline is high. Think back to Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Winds over 170 mi

Food Choices Recently, a conversation with a colleague raised a pressing question: why do so many people choose unhealthy foods, even when they know the risks? The answer is not simple. Many believe unhealthy food is cheaper, easier, or more satisfying in the short term. But the truth is this: poor food choices often lead to expensive medical bills, while healthy lifestyles—when planned carefully—are both affordable and rewarding. Nutrition density  is the key.
